Defeating the final boss of Black Wind Mountain, the Black Bear Guai, in Black Myth Wukong is a tough challenge. Having a solid plan before the fight can make all the difference. Guai is a heavily armored opponent, capable of powerful hits, charged attacks, and fiery assaults in the later stages. The key to winning is understanding what he’s weak against and knowing how to react quickly. During the first chapter, you can find items and skills that, while not essential, provide helpful advantages for this fight.
Guai acts as a slow but formidable tank, telegraphing most of his moves with large, obvious motions. This gives alert players a chance to dodge or counter, but it still requires speed and precision. Recognizing his attack cues lets you time your counters and evade effectively. Below are some tips and strategies to help you overcome this boss, highlighting his vulnerabilities and how best to exploit them.
### How to beat Black Myth Wukong’s Black Bear Guai
Before engaging, make sure to drink the Evil-Repelling Medicament and Longevity Decoction for added durability. Use the Immobilize spell when Guai is in smoke form to force him back into a solid state. If he catches fire, roll immediately until the flames are out to prevent damage. Save your Focus points for charged strikes in Smash Stance instead of wasting them on varied attacks. When Guai reaches half health, he adds fire effects to his melee blows. Use Cloud Step sparingly to heal, then strike unexpectedly. If you haven’t, grab the Fireproof Mantle Vessel from Elder Jinchi, and consider using the Red Tides transformation spell dropped by Guangzhi—that spell can deal heavy damage while also offering protection.
### Guai’s weaknesses
Guai has two main weaknesses that make him easier to defeat:
– He’s slow and telegraphs his attacks clearly, making it easier to dodge or block.
– Many of his moves can be countered by specific tactics, such as using Immobilize on his smoke form to break him out of it or ringing the Bells in Black Myth Wukong to protect yourself from fire attacks. Saving these for critical moments can help control the fight.
### Strategies to defeat Guai
Before the fight, consume buffing items at the arena’s edge—such as the Evil Repelling Medicament and Longevity Decoction—to boost your defense. Since Guai’s attacks are easily predictable, focus on staying defensive and building up Focus energy for a powerful charge attack. Instead of using multiple quick strikes, save your Focus for heavy, charged hits, especially Smash Stance’s powerful swings, which do maximum damage because Guai is a slow target.
Maintain a defensive stance, dodge frequently, and use immobilize to get him out of his smoke phase. Use the Fireproof Mantle when he starts employing fire attacks at the midpoint of the fight. If things get rough, use Cloud Step to heal and then find an opening to strike back. The safest approach is to keep your distance, avoid unnecessary hits, and wait for the right moment to land a big blow. Patience and cautious play are your best tools against Guai’s raw power.
### Exploiting Guai’s weaknesses during the fight
Guai’s slowness and tendencies to telegraph his moves are your advantages. Evasive players can dodge his attacks with ease and counter when he leaves himself open. Using Immobilize on his smoke form is particularly effective to stun or push him out, and ringing the Bells or wearing the Fireproof Mantle helps you withstand his fire attacks.
### Final tip
When unsure, step back and prioritize staying safe. Guai’s strength means he punishes mistakes severely, so play conservatively—dodge, build Focus, and strike only when the chance presents itself. With patience and the right timing, his defeat is well within reach.
