After making your way through most of Black Wind Mountain in Chapter 1 ofBlack Myth: Wukong, you’ll eventually come across its ruler: the Black Wind King. With a variety of deadly melee combos and some tricky magic moves, he’s far more powerful than theLingxuziand Whiteclad Noble bosses you’ve faced thus far. He’s also quite a bit faster, too, which introduces you to the pace you can expect from most future boss fights.

Undoubtedly, he’s one of Black Myth’s hardest early roadblocks, and you’ll likely be stuck on him for a bit. However, his health pool isn’t that large, so once you learn how to deal with his attacks and maximize your offense, you’ll take him down surprisingly quickly. Here’s a full overview of his moveset and how to best defend against it, along with some helpful tips and suggestions for counter-attack opportunities and other aspects of the battle.
