Flint Vanguard Strategy


Defeat the Lesser Yaoguai First

Black Myth Wukong - How to Beat Flint Vanguard - Lesser Yaoguai
When the battle starts, the Flint Vanguard will summon lesser yaoguais into the fight. The Flint Vanguard moves slow so defeat the lesser yaoguai first to make the battle easier.

Either lure the lesser yaoguai away or use Immobilize on the Flint Vanguard so that you can freely attack the other yaoguai.

Attack The Flint Vanguard After It Plunges Its Arms Into The Ground

When the Flint Vanguard plunges both its arms into the ground, it will briefly struggle to get back on its feet. This is the best time to Immobilize and unleash your most powerful attacks on the Flint Vanguard.

Beware The Flint Vanguard's AoE Blast

After the Flint Vanguard jumps down, do not immediately attack it. The Flint Vanguard will unleash an AoE Blast and lunge forward so be ready to dodge out of the area.
