Though you may have defeated theBlack Wind Kingonce already inBlack Myth: Wukong, he’s far from fully beaten — a fact you’ve no doubt discovered yourself, since you’re here reading this article. After retreating to his temple deep within the forests of the Black Wind Mountain, he’s transformed into the Black Bear Guai, a colossal yaoguai that stands as the final challenge you’ll need to overcome in the game’s opening chapter.
With tons of health, lethal, high-damage attacks, and fire that can whittle your health down over time if you’re not careful, the Black Bear Guai is undoubtedly Chapter 1’s mightiest opponent — and to claim the first of the five ancient Relics you’re after, you’ll need to take him down once and for all. The below guide will help you do just that, as it’s complete with a full look at his moveset and details about how you can avoid taking damage while simultaneously dealing plenty of it yourself.
Boss guide: How to beat the Black Bear Guai boss
Here’s a comprehensive overview of everything you need to know about the Black Bear Guai boss fight, including which moves it performs, how you can dodge them, and what the best ways to go on offense yourself are.
And that’s all there is to it. The Black Bear Guai has lots of HP and some incredibly powerful moves, but his long recovery windows between attacks makes him an easy boss to stay aggressive against as long as you don’t commit to too many heavy attacks you can’t dodge out of. Once you take him down, you’ll get your hands on the first of the ancient Relics, signaling the end of Chapter 1 and the transition over to Chapter 2’s beginning.
