How to beat Kang-Jin-Loong in Black Myth Wukong

Upon entering the snowy fields that host the third chapter of Black Myth WukongYou’ll probably feel, after the various tough bosses you’ve faced so far, that you can take on anything this brutal game throws at you.

However, this game is great at finding unique ways to send the player back to a nearby shrine with their tail between their legs, and the Dragon boss, Kang-Jin-Loong, is a great example of this.

This boss is a strong boss, who is very difficult to land consistent hits on due to his snake-like nature, his ability to fly dynamically, and his variety of lightning attacks to keep you at bay.

However, if you follow this guide, you may survive this icy encounter and reach the Pagoda Kingdom.

How to prepare for Kang-Jin-Loong

There are a couple of essential preparations to make that will make this fight much easier. First of all, you need to make sure you have some resistance to shocks and cold.

The ideal way I would suggest doing this is by by gearing up with the Ocher Armor set and then using Shock Quelling Powder to remove shock and add shock resistance when necessary. However, you can go with the Galeguard Beastmaw armor and some body warming powder if you prefer.

Secondly, since this fight is fought against an enemy that is constantly moving and difficult to land consistent hits on, I strongly suggest you unlock the Composure skill, as this will allow you to chain attacks with the freedom to dodge, making it more likely that you will be able to perform finishing combos and stagger the dragon.

Then lastly, I would suggest using a Spirit that doesn’t rely on landing a hit, as timing this is a nightmare. Instead, I would consider the blood-eyed Taoist, as his Raging Blood attack allows you to create an AOE buff zone on the battlefield, and then you can have Kang-Jin-Loong come at you.

How to defeat Kang-Jin-Loong

When you step onto the frozen lake, this slippery dragon will reveal itself and the fight will come to life. They will immediately come after you with one of their forward sliding attacks, which are common in this fight. When its head gets closer to you, time it to dodge and get out of the way.

An unverified Chinese modder has revealed how he was able to run the global hit Black Myth: Wukong on an Android device, in a not-so-impressive way.

They will likely follow this up with a lightning claw attack, where they will slam each claw into the ground, causing a wave of lightning. In this case you will want Dodge to the left and go through the first hit to avoid the second as well.

After this initial exchange, you should have a good opportunity when they are at ground level to use the immobilization spell and land some good shots.

They will probably make use of one of their most devastating attacks after this, which is their tail attack. They will do a somersault in the air and He slams his tail down hard. It’s key that you get good at dodging this one, as this gives the player an extended period in which they can attack its tail while it’s planted on the ground.

These are the main attacks they will use when at close range, but since they are almost never at ground level or sitting still, you will always have to fight to stay within attack range of this beast.

From the range, They will often use an ice breath attack.which inflicts cold and deals decent damage. This moves from left to right, so to avoid it, run to the right and away or dodge the attack to the left.

Then from time to time, Kang-Jin-Loong will also use a beam attack where open the heavens and summon lightning in different areas of the stadium. These effectively act as small AOE pillars scattered around the arena, and you’ll want to be constantly moving to avoid them.

Then finally, the dragon has a whirlwind attack where they will spin quickly to catch you in a tornado that will send you skyward. This will stagger you for a long time and leave you open to a devastating attack. so make sure you back off If you see them, they turn into a draconic Beyblade.

This is pretty much all this icy assassin can throw at you throughout this fight, but the moveset isn’t the biggest issue here. It’s just that the dragon is always on the move and has no limbs to clearly telegraph his attacks.

The key to success here is Always chain combos in hopes of getting finishers.as they will occasionally fall to the ground and be exposed to a flurry of attacks.

Additionally, you will want Make the most of your immobilization spell. to keep them in place when they are at ground level and your Cloud Step spell for easy staggering while avoiding his more complicated attacks to constantly dodge.
