Shigandang Strategy
Slow and Predictable Dodge the Jumping Attacks

Slow and Predictable

Shigandang is a slow, heavy rock boss with predictable attacks due to its sluggish movements. This gives you a significant advantage, as you can easily anticipate its moves and dodge accordingly.

Mastering Shigandang's attack patterns will make dodging and counterattacking more straightforward.

Dodge the Jumping Attack

Shigandang's most dangerous move is its jumping attack, which deals large AoE damage. The boss will jump and somersault toward your position.

Dodging as it lands will help you avoid taking damage.

Shigandang

Shigandang was once a mountain deity, accompanied by other rock guais. However, one day, several Buddha heads emerged from the ground and consumed everything in their path.

In an attempt to stop them, Shigandang faced severe consequences for his actions.

Giant Shigandang

In Mount Huaguo, after the birth of the Sage Stone Monkey, the remaining celestial stone continued to absorb the essence of the sun and moon for a thousand years.

Through self-cultivation, it eventually transformed into a yaoguai as large as a mountain, becoming the Giant Shigandang.
