How to defeat Black Moon in Black Myth: Wukong

We will look in more detail at how to kill the Black Moon and list useful recommendations for a quick and effective battle. In the following paragraphs, we will look at the most dangerous boss fighting skills and provide recommendations that will allow you to avoid receiving serious damage.

Boss attacks

The basic principle of Black Moon's attacks involves alternating attacks with electricity and maces. Accordingly, in order not to waste time on meaningless deaths, learn to distinguish between all the boss’s combat skills:

• Jump attack: If the distance between the player and the Black Moon is too great, the Yaoguai King will make a long jump in the direction of his victim and at the same time make a hit with his maces. The distance to the Black Moon can be controlled independently, so the jump will not come as a surprise. It’s easy to dodge the attack, and then you can deliver a series of blows to the monster’s back.
• P "RІRѕR№RЅRѕR№ SѓRґR ° SЂ: At close range, the boss likes to attack with two clubs in front of him, thereby trying to hit his victim. Wide swings allow you to predict the next attack, which is why you can not only dodge, but also have time to launch several counterattacks.
• Triple hit: This ability is very similar to the previous one, but now the monster deals three consecutive attacks at once. Try to predict the trajectory of the strike and move away from the affected area in time.
• Single electric wave: From time to time, while at mid-range, the dragon will strike with two maces at the same time, thereby causing an electrical surge around itself. You can escape from this skill by jumping or dodging to the side, then continue to hit the boss close. It is recommended to avoid dodging forward and backward, as you may accidentally fall into the wave's damage radius.
• Series of electric waves: when ready, the monster begins to strike the ground, causing many successive shock discharges - as in the previous attack, electricity spreads in a circle, but now it is more difficult to escape serious damage. It is best to wait out a series of waves on a hill - then you can avoid serious damage. If the stone cobblestones in the arena are destroyed, you will have to resort to constant jumping or dodging to the sides.

As a result, we can say that the Black Dragon has only three types of attacks of increased complexity, two of which have different durations and animations.

Most of the techniques are a sequence of combo attacks, which are actually extremely predictable and easy to remember. Most of them can be dodged without interrupting a series of quick strikes. The only serious problem is a series of electric waves, which, however, are easily avoided with the help of hills or successive dodges. For the latter, it is only important to monitor the stamina scale.

Battle tactics

In order to defeat the Black Moon without unnecessary problems, take advantage of his weak points, and also pay due attention to memorizing the most dangerous abilities. Tactical tips for a quick win:

• Learn distinguish between combat animations boss in order to understand what sequence of attacks will be next - the choice of maneuver for evasion and the chance of a successful counterattack depend on this.
• Black Moon is a very slow enemy, most of his attacks are predictable and easy to dodge. The clumsiness of the monster, in turn, allows you to enter frequently behind your back and deliver a series of successful attacks with impunity.
• All dragon abilities are tied to the distance to the opponent, which is why the score distances to the Black Moon It will also allow you to predict the skill being used and plan future actions in advance.
• A series of electrical shockwaves can easily reduce your health to zero. Thanks to the tall stones scattered around the arena, you can wait until the attack animation ends. However, during a fierce battle, most of them can be destroyed by sweeping blows with maces: it is additionally recommended to learn to dodge the waves in a consistent manner, first running away from the boss at a sufficient distance for greater maneuverability.
• If possible stun the boss at close range, then make a series of the most powerful blows; also try to successfully parry the boss’s attacks so that the monster loses its balance and becomes vulnerable for a couple of extra seconds.
• Like the Red Moon, this dragon loves to deal damage with shock, so stock up on a selection of healing potions and elixirs that grant resistance to electricity.
