How To Beat Black Bear Guai in Black Myth: Wukong
Black Bear Guai is a massive bear that uses fists, kicks, and its belly to deal damage. The boss also utilizes fire to amplify its damage when the health drops below 50 percent.
Due to the big size of the boss, dodging is much more manageable. This is because you can see the fist swings, jump attacks, and kicks easily. Most of the Black Bear Guai’s attacks have 3-hit combo. Once the combo is exhausted, you have a few seconds to strike back.
You must be adequately leveled up with a good number of skills unlocked in any stance. That is because the damage you do to the boss may seem small and insignificant so you need all the extra damage you can get by unlocking useful Foundation and Stance skills.
Dodging is the key element in winning the boss fight against Black Bear Guai. Landing perfect dodges every now and then should not be a problem since the attacks of the boss are predictable and repetitive.
Try to remain at the sides of the boss and attack at either legs. Staying at the front for too long will put you at a disadvantage as you can not clearly see visibly the incoming attack of Black Bear Guai.
Pro Tips for Defeating Black Bear Guai
Besides relying on the light and heavy attacks, you should utilize effectively the Immobilize and Cloud Step spells. For example, using the Immobilize spell from a distance will be ineffective because you will waste time in getting close to the boss. Therefore, the best approach is to use it when you are close to the Black Bear Guai.
Similarly, if the boss’s Cloud Mist is difficult for you to dodge then reserve the Cloud Step spell for this moment. You won’t have to worry about getting targeted as your decoy will draw all the aggro of the boss.
Utilize Red Tides transformation once you have depleted at least 20 to 30 percent of the boss’s health. You get a separate health bar when you transform and won’t need to be too much careful for losing the health and refilling it using the Gourd. Keep the health refills when the boss’s health drops below 50 percent.
Also, the Red Tides transformation can apply the fire status effect and the elevated camera angle makes dodging much more easier.
