How to beat the Yellow Wind Sage in Black Myth: Wukong

The Yellow Wind Sage is the final boss of Chapter 2 in Black Myth: Wukong. He’s no pushover by any means, and can quickly toss ℱyou𒉰 around to your death if you aren’t careful in your approach.

He’s definitely a lot tougher than every other boss up until this poi𝄹nt, but there are ways to make the Yellow Wind Sage fight a lot easier. Here’s what you need t꧋o know.

How to beat the Yellow Wind Sage in Black Myth: Wukong

To start off, it’s highly recommended to complete the Drunken Pig’s quest. At the end of it, you’ll be rewarded with the Wind Tamer Ve💛ssel. It can replace the Fireproof Mantle that was obtained from the previous chapter.

This item is very crucial because it gives you huge damage reduction while it’s active, and it gives you immunity to strong winds. Thosဣe winds are what make this fight against the Yellow Wind Sage very annoying. 

As you start the fight, approach and attack him like you normally would. The setup I went with was mostly a light attack combo build while using the Immobilize spell for free damage per combo. 

While that is on coo🐼ldown, switch to your transformation and try to deal as much damage before you’re damaged out of it or run out of Might. You can also take advantage of transforming to negate all damage done to you.

Once the Sage starts conjuring up the sand tornado all over the arena, activate the Wind Tamer. It’ll st🌠un him for a few seconds, allowing you to get a few free hits before he picks himself back up.&n𝐆bsp;

While active, you can feel more comfortable getting hit by him as you’ll take reduced damage. Just don’t get greedy because he can still dish quite a lot of d❀amage, especially during his teleporting, statue dive, and tornado rush phases.

Other than when he turns into sand, you only have to look out for when he does stomp attack. Getting hit by that at 50% can kill you. With all the crazy moves he does, you shoulꦯd only really attack him when he isn’t conjuring anything up. He’ll fight like a normal boss without all the extra gimmicks.

Best setup against the Yellow Wind Sage

If you want a solid build to deal with the Yellow Wind Sage, try respeccing your skill points to focus on the Stamina tree from the Foundation section and the Smash Stance from the Staff Stances menu.

Build up your Focus by hitting the ♌boss with a flurry of Ligh𒊎t attacks. After three or so hits, back off before he hits you. However, if you have the Composure skill in the Stamina tree, ꦗyou can dodge in between your comb🌼o to resume it after a dodge.

If you perform a triple Light attack into a Charged Focus attack combo, you can stagger the Yellow Wind Sage and get another free combo off him. It’s also safer if you can do this while using the Immobilize spell to keep him in place. 

Since you’re using Light attacks for the majority of the fight, you should use the Opportune Watcher skill for Craving Eyes, building up your Focus a lot quicker. 

Finally, you should make sure you have upgraded your Celestial Medicine level in Stamina Recovery and Defense as high as you can. It’ll help you dodge more and tak𝓀e more hits if you𒆙r timing isn’t great.
