Yin-Yang Fish Boss Guide: Defeat the Yin-Yang Fish in Black Myth Wukong
Yin-Yang Fish Overview
Yin-Yang Fish is a unique and challenging boss in Black Myth: Wukong, located in Chapter 5 at Furnace Valley, near The Emerald Hall. After defeating the Keeper of Flaming Mountains, players encounter the Yin-Yang Fish, a massive aquatic creature with the ability to change color and use powerful elemental attacks. This boss battle tests the player’s agility and quick-thinking as it combines both melee and ranged combat mechanics. The Yin-Yang Fish is notorious for its high health pool and challenging attack patterns, making it one of the more difficult bosses to face in this chapter.
Yin-Yang Fish Attack Patterns
Understanding Yin-Yang Fish’s attack patterns is crucial for planning your approach:
Tidal Wave
Description: The Yin-Yang Fish generates a massive tidal wave that sweeps across the battlefield.
Weakness: Dodge to the side to avoid the wave; timing is key as the wave is fast and covers a wide area.
Elemental Orb Barrage
Description: The boss launches multiple orbs of water or fire that explode upon impact, dealing area-of-effect damage.
Weakness: Keep moving and use dodges to avoid the orbs. The key is to stay at mid-range to reduce the risk of getting hit by multiple orbs.
Color Shift
Description: Yin-Yang Fish can switch between two elemental forms—fire and water—each with different attack properties.
Weakness: Adapt your strategy depending on its current form; when in the fire form, use water-based abilities, and vice versa.
Fish Egg Drop
Description: The boss drops explosive eggs from above, which freeze or burn players on contact.
Weakness: This attack is hard to avoid; it’s best to heal up and prepare for counterattacks once the rain stops.
Yin-Yang Fish Battle Strategy
To defeat Yin-Yang Fish, focus on its elemental shifts and use the environment to your advantage. Here are the best strategies to ensure victory:
Recommended Skills
Equip skills that provide mobility, such as Shadow Step, to quickly dodge area attacks. Utilize ranged abilities like Stone Throw to deal consistent damage from a safe distance, especially during the fish’s explosive egg drop phase.
Recommended Equipment
Equip armor that provides balanced defense against both fire and water elements. The Yin-Yang Daoist Robe is highly effective in mitigating damage during this battle. For weapons, choose those with both high speed and range to maximize damage during brief attack windows.
Tactics
Phase 1
Focus on dodging the Tidal Wave and Elemental Orb Barrage attacks. Maintain a mid-range distance to reduce the risk of being overwhelmed by area attacks. Use fast, consistent strikes when the boss is vulnerable after an attack.
Phase 2
Once the Yin-Yang Fish shifts forms or initiates the Fish Egg Drop, switch to ranged attacks and prioritize healing. Keep moving to avoid being frozen or burned by the eggs, and counterattack when the fish is momentarily immobile.
