Navigating through the challenging world of Black Myth: Wukong brings players face-to-face with some of the most formidable enemies in gaming. Chapter 4, in particular, stands out as a significant hurdle with its extensive roster of challenging bosses. For those looking to conquer all Black Myth: Wukong chapter 4 bosses, this comprehensive guide will walk you through locations, strategies, and rewards.
The Complete Chapter 4 Boss Lineup
Chapter 4 of Black Myth: Wukong features an impressive 18 boss encounters, including 5 fearsome Yaoguai Kings. The Webbed Hollow and Temple of Yellow Flowers areas are teeming with powerful adversaries that will test even the most skilled players.
The Main Story Bosses
The Second Sister
Located in the Estate of the Zhu at the very beginning of Chapter 4, this arachnid boss serves as your introduction to this chapter's challenges. While intimidating for arachnophobes, she's relatively manageable as you'll have Zhu Bajie fighting alongside you. Her attacks are well-telegraphed and she can be staggered fairly easily.
Zhu Bajie (First and Second Encounters)
Your companion throughout much of the chapter eventually becomes your opponent in two consecutive battles. The first encounter occurs at the Hut of Immortality, where a mind-addled Zhu Bajie confronts you. The second, more difficult fight happens shortly after in a muddy arena where he transforms into a massive black boar at half health. Using Immobilize and transformation spells during the second phase will significantly ease the difficulty.
Violet Spider
The ancient mother of the Second Sister awaits at the Gathering Cave, serving as the final boss of the Webbed Hollow region. While tougher than her offspring, she can be defeated with careful timing and by keeping Antimiasma Powders handy to counter her poison attacks.
Hundred-Eyed Daoist Master
The true final boss of Chapter 4 can be found at the Court of Illumination. As a powerful Yaoguai King, he employs devastating attacks and cunning strategies that will push your skills to the limit. Defeating him rewards you with valuable items including the Celestial Ribbon, Kun Steel, and Sky-Piercing Horn.
Secret and Optional Bosses
Yellow Loong
Perhaps the most challenging boss in Chapter 4, Yellow Loong is hidden in the Relief of the Fallen Loong area. To access this fight, you must have defeated all previous Loong bosses from earlier chapters. The rewards are substantial: the Golden Carp curio, Sea-Supporting Tendon, Kun Steel, and Loong Pearl.
The Duskveil
Found at Cloudnest Peak in Purple Cloud Mountain, this secret boss drops The Duskveil's Horn, Kun Steel, and Double-Combed Rooster Blood upon defeat.
Supreme Inspector
This unique encounter is triggered only if you collect all four purple Talismans scattered throughout Chapter 4 before defeating the Hundred-Eyed Daoist Master. While the fight itself is brief and scripted, completing this challenge rewards you with a Stamina-increasing Celestial Nonary Pill.
Lesser Bosses Worth Finding
Several other noteworthy bosses populate Chapter 4:
-
Elder Amourworm: Located near Verdure Bridge, defeating it grants the Proto-Amourworm item
-
Venom Daoist: Encountered twice, first at the Pool of Shattered Jade and later at Temple Entrance
-
Centipede Guai: Found in a skeleton-encrusted arena accessible from the Middle Hollow or Bonevault Shrines
-
Buddha's Right Hand: A bizarre boss near the Cliff of Oblivion Shrine
-
Baw-Li-Guhh-Baw: A disturbing toad boss in the Lower Hollow area
-
Commander Beetle: Guards the entrance to the Temple of Yellow Flowers
-
Fungiwoman: Hidden in the Temple Entrance area
-
Scorpionlord: Located at the Bounds of Deity's Abode
-
Daoist Mi: Found in Petalfall Village within Purple Cloud Mountain
Essential Strategies for Chapter 4 Bosses
As you progress through these challenging encounters, certain tactics prove consistently effective:
-
Immobilize Spell: Particularly useful against agile bosses like the Yellow Loong and Venom Daoist
-
Cloud Step vs. Rock Solid: Choose wisely based on the boss's attack patterns
-
Transformation Spells: The Yin Tiger's Ebon Flow transformation excels at staggering powerful foes
-
Antimiasma Powders: Keep these equipped when facing poison-using enemies like the Violet Spider
-
A Flock of Many: Invaluable when dealing with bosses that summon minions
Completing Your Chapter 4 Journey
After defeating the Hundred-Eyed Daoist Master, you'll complete Chapter 4's main story path. However, if you haven't explored Purple Cloud Mountain or collected all four Talismans for the Supreme Inspector encounter, consider backtracking before moving on to Chapter 5.
The challenges of Black Myth: Wukong chapter 4 bosses represent some of the game's most memorable encounters. With patience, skill, and the strategies outlined above, even the mighty Yellow Loong and Hundred-Eyed Daoist Master will fall before your staff.
Remember that timing is crucial for certain secret bosses and encounters - some must be completed before finishing the chapter, or you'll need to wait until a New Game cycle to experience them.
