Stone Monkey Guide

First Form of the Final Boss

Upon entering the Birthstone in the beginning of the story, a long cutscene plays, showing the destined one, the old monkey, and the small boar riding on a small boat towards the final boss' arena.

This phase of the fight features cunning tactics like freezing water and summoning a clone. The Stone Monkey is Sun Wukong's soulless shell and doesn't possess its full power.

How to Beat Stone Monkey

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.
