Black Bear Guai is not just an ordinary boss. He is a Yaoguai King and has two different forms, each requiring a distinct strategy. Defeating him not only yields valuable rewards but also marks a significant milestone in the journey of exploring the mystical world of Black Myth: Wukong. Let’s begin the journey to conquer this tough bear!
Location and Important Warning
To encounter Black Bear Guai in Black Myth: Wukong, you need to reach the end of chapter 1. He is at the summit of Black Wind Mountain. Before that, you will have to go through Black Wind Cave and clear out a few groups of wolf soldiers. Finally, climb Bodhi Peak – where Black Bear Guai awaits you.
Before starting, remember: The arena has a lot of fire, be careful not to roll into it for too long. Black Bear Guai can teleport using black wind magic, so always be ready. Also, his attacks are very random. Finally, prepare for a long battle, because Black Bear Guai is very tanky and hits hard, especially when he transforms with chaos fire in stage 2.
Black Bear Guai Boss Fight and Guide
Facing Black Bear Guai, you’ll see he is no longer the Black Wind King with his familiar spear. Instead, he reveals his true form as a giant bear, extremely durable, and focusing entirely on brute strength. This battle will take place in two main phases, and you need to constantly adapt your tactics.
Phase 1: Wild Power
In the first phase, Black Bear Guai will use basic but powerful moves.
Swipe: A series of claw swipes, usually two in a row, sometimes with an added foot stomp. Be careful, this combo can be longer in the later phase.
Lunge: He can lunge forward or to the sides. Dodge to the side instead of backward.
Diving Attack: He runs around, jumps up, and lands with his whole body. This is a golden opportunity to counterattack, as he will take time to get up.
Black Wind: Suddenly the boss will turn into a black wind stream, then attack you, there are 5 following attack types.
Body Slam: Easy to dodge, and you can attack after dodging.
Left/Right-handed lunge: Attacks with one hand.
Quick right hand lunge to a left hand slam: Quickly slashes with both hands.
Hop: May be hit by the attack when the boss hops.
To deal with this, attack steadily, strike when he is recovering after his big attacks, and take advantage of the opportunity to hit him with combos when he is stunned or after you dodge. When Black Bear Guai has less than 50% health, be careful! He will go berserk, self-immolate, and cause fire to rain down on the arena. This is the sign of the transition to phase 2; you need to defend carefully and use cooling powder if burned.
Phase 2: Destructive Fire
Black Bear Guai envelops himself in fire, buffing his strength and adding fire damage. The moves are similar, but much more dangerous.
Black Wind Fire: Transforms into a black wind stream, rushing at you with high speed and causing fire damage.
Fire Lunge: Still the lunge move, but with added fire.
Fire Attacks: All attacks deals fire damage and creates small explosion.
Elbow Dodge: Be especially careful with his elbow attack, as it will leave you vulnerable, creating an opportunity for continuous attacks and causing significant damage.
In this phase, Fireproof Mantle (if you have it) is a lifesaver. It reduces fire damage and charges Focus so you can unleash more heavy attacks. Use Cloud Step to dodge the explosive attacks, then close in and counter with Revealing Strike. Use Immobilize to break his combos. If you’re burning badly, transform using Red Waves to reset the fire meter and increase your power.
So, you now have all the “secrets” to defeat Black Bear Guai! It’s not just about overcoming a difficult challenge, but also about collecting the Craving Eyes Relic and opening up new chapters in the Black Myth: Wukong storyline. But don’t forget, this is just the beginning. Prepare yourself, hone your skills, and be ready to face even tougher opponents. Wishing you memorable hours of adventure in this fantastic world!
