Boss Battle: Yellow Wind Sage
Boss Description
The Yellow Wind Sage is a mysterious figure who wields wind-based attacks and controls the sandstorms of Yellow Wind Ridge. His attacks are fast and unpredictable, making him a formidable foe in the shifting sands.
Attack Patterns
- Sandstorm Barrage: The Sage conjures a massive sandstorm, limiting visibility and damaging the player over time. Dodge-roll frequently to mitigate the damage.
- Wind Scythe Strike: The Sage swings a scythe-like blade of wind at the player in sweeping arcs. Timing your dodges is key to avoiding this high-damage attack.
- Gale Force Push: The Sage sends out a burst of wind, pushing the player back and leaving them vulnerable to follow-up attacks.
Recommended Strategy
Stay mobile and use the environment to your advantage by taking cover when the sandstorm is active. Focus on dodging the Wind Scythe Strike and attack during the Sage’s recovery animations.
Rewards
After defeating the Yellow Wind Sage, you will receive the second relic, which represents Sun Wukong’s “ears”, and 1,800 XP.
Hidden Elements and Quests
Hidden Caves
Explore the ridge to find hidden caves that contain powerful artifacts like the Celestial Pill and Wind Scroll, which provide additional benefits in combat.
Optional Bosses
In the deeper parts of the desert, you may encounter secondary bosses such as the Earth Wolf. Defeating them grants extra rewards and experience points.
Tips and Tricks
Stay Mobile
Due to the frequent sandstorms, visibility is low, and your movement will be hindered. Focus on using quick dodges and positioning yourself strategically.
Use Environmental Cover
Use the rocks and dunes scattered throughout Yellow Wind Ridge as cover during the sandstorms to avoid taking continuous damage from the environment.
Save Potions
The Yellow Wind Sage’s attacks can be relentless, so make sure to conserve health potions for the final phases of the battle.
Next Steps
Once you’ve completed all tasks and defeated the Yellow Wind Sage, you will progress to Chapter Three: White Snow, Ice Cold. Be sure to explore all areas of Yellow Wind Ridge before moving on, as certain secrets and quests cannot be accessed after completing the chapter.
