How to beat the Hundred Eyed Taoist Master in Black Myth Wukong

If you’ve already fought powerful end-of-chapter bosses in Black Myth Wukong like Yellow Wind Sage or Yellowbrow, you’ll know that these tend to be some of the toughest tests the game has to offer.

This is something that is equally true for the Hundred Eyed Daoist Master, a boss who will serve as final obstacle between you and chapter five.

This boss is incredibly cinematic, incredibly tough, and if you don’t prepare properly, you’ll have a great time trying to beat his lightning phase.

However, with the help of this guide, you should be able to take them down and get one step closer to completing this brutal and punishing title.

How to prepare for the Hundred Eyes Taoist Master

The Hundred Eyed Daoist Master is a tricky boss, as his health bar is bloated, his hit box is ridiculous at times, he often feels like you’re stepping on molasses as they drain your stamina and hit like a ton of bricks. .

That said, if you prepare accordingly, you can make this fight much easier. First of all, this is the setup I would suggest for this fight:

While you have good equipment and stats, upgrading with Celestial Medicine is always a good decision before important boss fights like this. The most important thing you need for this fight is the Weaver’s Needle.

Just like without this item, you will have to defeat this boss and endure his lightning phase, which is one of the deadliest phases of any boss battle in the game.

However, if you take the time to unlock Purple Cloud Mountain and defeat Duskveil, you’ll get an item that can completely negate this phase and make the fight a walk in the park by comparison.

If you are very interested in moving forward without this item, I recommend that you use items that increase your lightning resistance, such as

calming powder

.

But honestly, it would be much better if you did the side quest this time. If you need help, we have a guide to help you find the Weaver’s Needle.

How to beat the Hundred Eyed Taoist Master

During the first time you fight the Hundred Eyed Daoist Master, you will be aided by the spider sisters, who will reduce his health by approximately 15%. But suppose he died on the first attempt at it. In which case, andYou will begin your next attempt, having already cut off 15% of his health.

When you approach the boss the second time you ask him, he will stand and wait for you to close the gap, and then perform a shout to stagger you, preventing you from making the first move. So the best thing you can do is use this initial period to use a spell with a long delay, such as

A handful of many

.

Then you will find yourself immersed in the heat of battle. Generally speaking, the Hundred Eyes Daoist Master uses a series of slow, lightning-powered melee attacks.

These attacks have annoying delays. which force you to dodge carefully instead of spamming the dodge button. So watch their movements and try to anticipate the impact.

His most basic attacks include a basic triple slash attack and a stomp attack. It is best to keep attacking during these attacks, and as long as you have the Composure skill unlockedYou can maintain your combos while dodging incoming blows. Then, if you remove some finials, you’ll find that they wobble quite easily.

They also have access to a poisonous vomit attack, but this can be avoided very easily if just move behind him or next to himallowing you to continue your attacks.

At this point, they will likely hide under the yellow flower bed and do one of two things. If you see a crack in the ground approaching you, dodge spam and walk awayas this means they will try to perform a grappling attack, and this can take away half your health, so it’s best to avoid it.

Then they will alternately do a tail attack accompanied by venom splashes. This is easily avoided if you dodge their initial attack as they come out of the ground and then move away from the area of ​​effect. This ends with a sneak attack, so be careful with this.

They also have access to some powerful charged lightning attacks, such as a lightning strip attack or a charged slash attack. These work relatively similar to your basic melee attacks, but cause a buildup of shock, so be sure to monitor your status bars throughout the fight.

There are a few exceptions here, such as his devastating AOE blast, which is best avoided with a well-timed dodge. Then there are also his lightning projectiles, which, if I’m honest, I didn’t find a good way to dodge consistently. so

cloud pass

He is your best friend when this happens.

Then comes the phase change, when the Hundred Eyed Daoist Master will plunge his sword into the ground and transform the arena into a golden hell where your stamina regeneration will be hindered and his attacks will seemingly never end.

Let the first part of this segment unfold, where they will attack twice. Then a cutscene will play. After this scene, use the

weaver’s needle

Vessel, which will prematurely end this phase, reverting them to their state in phase one. This will probably allow you to win the fight without too much effort.

Aside from Weaver’s Needle, the key to winning this one is to intentionally dodge and use your spells to stagger the boss while also creating moments to safely heal yourself.

Additionally, it’s imperative that you don’t waste time attacking the boss in areas that don’t line up with its hitbox, so try to make sure your attacks actually land, or you’ll waste stamina, spells, and chances if you don’t. .
