How to Beat the Final Boss

Phase 1 & 2: Stone Monkey

The final boss fight consists of four phases. In the first two phases, you battle the Stone Monkey, a fragment of Sun Wukong's former self. Initially, its attacks are slow but powerful, and it fights with its bare hands. As the fight progresses, it enters phase two, significantly increasing its strength, speed, and spell usage.

Phase 3 & 4: The Great Sage's Broken Shell

After defeating the Stone Monkey in phase two, it evolves into The Great Sage's Broken Shell, mimicking the former glory of Sun Wukong and wielding his staff. This part of the fight features fast, long combos and challenging attacks to counter. In the final phase, the boss absorbs the five Relics you've collected from your journey, reaching nearly the full power of the Great Sage, Sun Wukong.

Phase 1 and 2 Guide

Stone Monkey Strategy
Dodge the Rock Solid Grab Counter Stay Away from the Ground Shockwaves Get Away From the Freezing Water Focus on the Original Monkey

Dodge the Rock Solid Grab Counter

The Stone Monkey frequently uses the Rock Solid spell to set up a powerful grab attack. If you mistakenly attack it during this spell, your attack will bounce off, leaving you open to the grab. However, if you time it right, you can dodge the grab and avoid being punished.

Stay Away from the Ground Shockwaves

Many of the Stone Monkey's attacks involve ground slams that create damaging shockwaves. When it performs a multi-hit ground slam, stay clear until the delayed, powerful explosion finishes.

Get Away From the Freezing Water

The Stone Monkey has ice elemental moves that temporary freeze the surrounding water before shattering in an icy explosion. When this happens, move away from the freezing water by either getting closer to the Stone Monkey or retreating to a safe distance. If you're hit by this attack, you'll be frozen and vulnerable to follow-up attacks or the clone's strikes.

Focus on the Monkey with the Bottom Health Bar

In Phase 2, when the Stone Monkey reaches around 60% health, it will summon a clone with its own health bar at the top of the original's. The two will take turns attacking you. The clone will eventually disappear, leaving the original Stone Monkey alone. To conserve resources, focus your spells and Focus Points on the original Monkey, but you can still build up Focus by attacking the clone.

The Great Sage's Broken Shell Strategy
Watch Out for Its Combos Stun It and Combo with Other Spells Watch Out for Its Jump Attacks Be Aware of Its Spells

Watch Out for Its Combos

The boss has long combos that makes it extremely hard to hit. It's best to move away from the boss and wait for it to finish its combos. On the other hand, you can also just look for an opening while it's doing the combos.

Stun It and Combo with Other Spells

The best strategy to use against the boss is to use Pluck of Many and stun it with Immobilize or Wind Tamer. This is an easy combo to do that can slowly melt through the boss' HP. You can also use the Withering Wight's spirit attack to deal high burst damage.

Watch Out for Its Jump Attacks

The boss has jump attacks that deal high damage and makes it impossible to hit. Once you see it perform these attacks, it's best to circle around and dodge the attacks.

Moreover, do not use Immobilize when it's in the air since it's impossible to hit it while it's airbourne. Just wait for it to land back down before attacking.

Be Aware of Its Spells

The boss can use the same spells as you can, such as Immobilize, Ring of Fire, and Rock Solid. It's best to watch out for them as the boss can take advantage of their effects.

For Immobilize, use Cloud Step to break the spell and reposition quickly.

For Ring of Fire, just stay out of the flaming area and take the fight away from it.

For Rock Solid, just don't attack the boss to prevent it from countering.
