Yo fellow pilgrims! Chapter 4 of Black Myth: Wukong ain't no walk in the park – it's a brutal gauntlet where Buddha's Right Hand stands as one of the most gnarly mandatory bosses. This creepy crawly will test your reflexes big time, transforming from a freaky giant hand into a full-blown insect nightmare halfway through. Sure, the cramped Webbed Hollow corridor makes spacing a bitch, but trust us – the loot drop makes this sweatfest totally worth it. 🐒💥
🗺️ Pinpointing Buddha's Right Hand Location
First things first: finding this bad boy. Head to the Cliff of Oblivion Shrine in Webbed Hollow after wrecking that pesky 
Centipede Guai. From the shrine, spot the narrow corridor with an arm clutching a mirror – that’s your ticket to pain town. Approach it and... BAM! Boss fight activated.
⚔️ Phase Breakdown: Hand Job Turns Bug Apocalypse
This fight’s got two distinct phases that’ll make you scream "WTF?!" when the transition hits:
-
Phase 1: Just a giant floating hand (deceptively chill)
-
Phase 2: At 50% HP, reveals its true insect form – complete with poison and nightmare fuel
The arena’s tight AF, so positioning is everything. No cap, phase 2’s moveset changes will have you sweating bullets.
✋ Phase 1 Attack Patterns & Dodge Tactics
Here’s how to style on that flying mitt:
| Attack Name | Description | How to Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Finger Flick | Throws light orb at you | Dodge WHEN you hear the flick sound 🎧 |
| Palm Smash | Transforms into palm for knockback | Keep distance – short range attack |
| Slithering Hand | Smacks you into walls + snake slither | Backstep dodge → side-roll follow-up |
| Dragging Quake | Drags hand causing falling rocks | GTFO range ASAP! |
| Corridor Slam | Strikes wall → rockfall | Dodge OR trade damage strategically |
Pro tip: Spam that 
Immobilize Spell to lock it down. The 
A Pluck of Many spell also chunks its HP hard.
🐛 Phase 2: Insect Mode Madness
When it mutates, that "hand" reveals itself as the bug’s TAIL! Now you’re dealing with poison mechanics and spazzy movements:
Key attacks to watch:
-
Poison Breath: Covers floor in toxic sludge → sprint under its body to avoid
-
Bug Bite: Head slam → backstep dodge x3 (short range)
-
Head Dash: Charges while dragging claws → sidestep like your life depends on it
-
Poison Butterflies: Projectile spam → deflect with Spinning Staff or timed dodges
Phase 2 pro move: Pop a Transformation Spell during its morph animation for free damage windows!
🎯 Winning Strategy Checklist
-
Phase 1: Kite + spell spam → focus on immobilization
-
Phase Transition: UNLOAD damage during transformation
-
Phase 2: Prioritize poison-zone awareness → attack during cooldowns
-
Always: Stay mobile – this ain’t a tank-and-spank fight!
