How to Beat Quick as Fire, Fast as Wind

Black Myth Wukong - Quick as Fire, Fast as Wind

Defeat Quick as Fire first before Fast as Wind. Quick as Fire leaves behind a path of fire wherever he rolls and Fast as Wind shoots gusts at the player so make sure to attack in short bursts and do not stay in one place for too long.

Casting Immobilize will prevent Quick as Fire and Fast as Wind from moving and guarantees an easy victory.

Cloudy Mist, Misty Cloud
Cloudy Mist and Misty Cloud will attack you in turns for most of the battle, but there are some moves where they will attack as a pair. Luckily, you can predict their attack patterns using audio and visual clues.

Defeat Cloudy Mist first since Misty Cloud relies on him for sight. Once Cloudy Mist is defeated, Misty Cloud will be easier to beat since his moves are slower and much more predictable.
