The Wandering Wight is a tough mid-game enemy in Black Myth: Wukong that puts your fighting prowess, endurance, and tactics to the test. To defeat this boss, you must carefully control your resources and become familiar with its assault strategies. Here’s a comprehensive tutorial to help you defeat the Wandering Wight in Black Myth: Wukong (2024).
Comprehending the Attack Patterns of the Wandering Wight
The Wandering Wight specialises in wide sweeps and area-of-effect (AoE) moves that can penalise negligent players. Its attacks are a combination of melee and ranged. These are the main movements to be aware of:
- Sweeping Claw Attack: An attack with a broad arc that hits a lot of the boss’s front region. To prevent this, swerve to the side.
- Ground Slam: The Wight launches itself into the air, sending a shockwave before slamming down. In order to avoid the shockwave, jump or dodge at the appropriate time.
- Dark Energy Bolts: The Wight targets your position with a barrage of dark energy bolts. You can avoid these by keeping a medium distance away from them.
- Wight Summon: The Wandering Wight can summon smaller wraiths to distract you. Focus on quickly eliminating them to avoid getting overwhelmed.
Suggested Tools and Abilities
Equipping the appropriate tools and skills is crucial for taking down the Wandering Wight:
- Weapon: A weapon with a moderate speed and a high reach would be excellent. Against this boss, the staff or polearm is quite effective.
- Armour: Wear armour that strikes a balance between mobility and defence because you’ll need to deflect powerful blows while maintaining your mobility.
- Talents: When counterattacking, employ talents that improve your ability to dodge and deal more damage. Particularly helpful is the “Phantom Strike” talent, which enables fast repositioning.
The Strategy to Beat the Wandering Wight
- Phase 1: Observing and Dodging
- In the first phase of the fight, the Wandering Wight is relatively slow, giving you time to learn its patterns. Focus on dodging its sweeping claw attacks and ground slams. Use this phase to chip away at its health with quick attacks after it misses with a heavy move.
- Phase 2: Aggressive Offense
- Once the Wight’s health drops to around 60%, it will become more aggressive, chaining attacks more rapidly and summoning wraiths. Keep an eye on its energy bolts, and stay mobile to avoid getting cornered.
- Dealing with Wraiths: Prioritize eliminating the summoned wraiths as soon as they appear. They can disrupt your focus and open you up to attacks from the Wight.
- Counter-Attacks: After dodging a ground slam or a claw swipe, immediately follow up with a strong counter-attack. The Wight has a brief window of vulnerability after these moves.
- Phase 3: Endgame Tactics
As the Wight’s health drops below 25%, it will start to use its most powerful abilities more frequently, including chaining ground slams and firing multiple dark energy bolts.
- Stay Patient: Don’t rush in for attacks. Wait for the right moment after it uses a heavy move or when it’s recovering from a missed attack.
- Ultimate Skill: If you have an ultimate skill or a powerful ability saved up, this is the time to use it. Aim to finish the fight quickly to avoid unnecessary risks.
Last Words of Advice
- Potion Management: Use potions sensibly and pay careful attention to your health. Don’t put off healing until your health is in serious danger.
- Recognise Your Losses: If you’re having trouble, pause to consider the trends and errors. Every death is a chance to grow and modify your approach.
In summary
Black Myth: Wukong’s Wandering Wight is a formidable monster, but you can defeat it with the correct tactics, tools, and perseverance. Recall to observe its patterns, apply your abilities wisely, and maintain composure under duress. You can overcome the Wandering Wight and carry on as the Monkey King if you are persistent enough.
