The start of your journey to the west inBlack Myth: Wukongis fairly relaxed overall, with many simple, easy-to-defeat enemies and generous checkpoints to help you get acquainted with the ARPG’s core combat mechanics. Eventually, though, you’ll come across a temple in the Black Wind Mountain that’s home to your first true challenge: Lingxuzi, a vicious wolf demon eager to tear you apart and feast on your remains.
Lingxuzi has far more health than any yaoguai you’ve faced thus far, and deals significantly more damage as well. However, once you learn its moveset and understand how to take advantage of its counter-attack openings, you’ll defeat it in no time at all. To help you do just that, I’ve written up a boss guide below that goes over the fight in detail.
Boss guide: How to beat Lingxuzi
Here’s everything you need to know about the battle with Lingxuzi, including how to dodge its moves and when the best times to maximize your offense are.
And that’s it! As long as you’re patient with your dodging and stay on offense as much as you can, you’ll take down Lingxuzi in no time. It’s a tough boss at first, but once you learn how the fight works, you shouldn’t have much trouble. Steel yourself, though, because your struggles in Black Myth: Wukong’s first chapter are far from over.
