Guangzhi is technically an optional boss to defeat in Black Myth: Wukong. This fiery wolfman is very quick and his deadly spear attacks can be overwhelming. But fear not, because we are going to guide you on how to defeat him and emerge in victory. So, let’s dive into the details.
Where Can You Find Guangzhi
Guangzhi is the first boss that you will encounter in the game. He is located in the Forest of Wolves that is near the shrine which you called Outside the Forest.
He has the same location with Wandering Wight in Chapter 1. His arena is hidden away but you can find him by crossing the raised bamboo bridge on the first left that is near the shrine.
Just follow the path and soon you’ll see the small entrance marked by a large Buddah head stone. This is where you find Guangzhi. Be ready to fight with him as he will call you out for an approach.
Prepare for a Fight
To prepare for his fight. His attacks deal with fire, so you need something that can help you fight against it, like fire resistance.
To encounter these fire attacks, we recommend you to go to the shrine to purchase a Body-Cooling Powder. This not only boosts your fire resistance but also can encounter the burning effect from Guangzhi’s weapon. They are affordable but remember the purchase limit.
In case you have low Will, defeat some enemies nearby or you can sell your gold scraps for a quick cash boost.
Additionally, try to invest in Rampant Vigor or Simian Agility. This will help you to improve your stamina as you dodge his various attacks.
How to Beat Guangzhi
Now that you are already equipped and ready for a fight, you notice that entering the arena is quite small, this is because it can limit your movement options.
Just be mindful of your positioning as you might be pushed against the corner. So, make use of your movement.
Guangzhi is skilled with a mixture of close-range and long range attacks. He will always try to get closer to you.
His primary weapon is flaming spear, that is why we recommend you to have Blood-Cooling Powder to resist his flaming attacks.
He typically begins fighting with two spin attacks and follows up with a single sweep. Get yourself ready as these attacks can be easily dodged by doing some roll sideways or backward.
You can immediately create your swing attack as an opportunity for you to counterattack. You can also immobilize after dodging the last hit for more damage, especially if you have boost damage against frozen enemies. Try to roll twice to deal the burning damage, since it can be removed by it.
Expect various transition attacks and avoid attacking him especially during his combos as it will be counterproductive.
Instead of attacking him during his combo, wait for him to finish first then you will counter him with your special attacks. Just avoid using heavy counterattacks because they become ineffective against Guangzhi’s fast speed.
Focus on dodging Guangzhi’s combo and fight him back immediately. He can perform a triple-slam attack by pole-vaulting with his weapon. Be cautious, as he might jump when his health is low to trick you.
Once his health is reduced by half, he will give you aerial attacks that can be damaging. You can back away whenever you see Guangzhi jumping in the air.
Remember to maintain a distance against him, dodge his combo and create a counterattack with damage. This strategy will help you defeat Guangzhi.
Guangzhi Rewards
After you successfully defeat Guangzhi, you are going to get his fiery Blade and Red Tides. Using this spell, you can transform yourself into Gunagzhi and use his abilities in your next fight.
His Moon Dance is the three hit combo, while his Moon Chase is a chainable dashing attack. When your bar is full, you can use the Moon Chase after a dodge to use one of Guangzhi’s attacks. His attack only depends on the direction you didge, imitating his own dodging patterns.
Guangzhi’s fighting style can cause burning damage over time. In case you’re struggling with Wandering Wight, just use Red Tides to transform you into Guangzhi, this can help you to fight against him.
Conclusion
That’s it! Black Myth: Wukong’s Guangzhi can be challenging to fight, especially for new gamers. However, using the right preparation and strategy, you can successfully emerge for victory.
Just follow these guidelines and you’ll be equipped to conquer and defeat Guanzhi. This will help you to continue your journey in Black Myth: Wukong.
