Fire King Boss Guide: Defeat the Fiery Foe in Black Myth Wukong
Fire King Overview
The Fire King is a formidable opponent in Black Myth: Wukong, known for its powerful fire-based attacks and swift movements. Encountered in Chapter 5 at the “Furnace Valley” region, the Fire King commands the fiery terrain and has a high resistance to most forms of direct physical attacks. The challenge here is to withstand and outmaneuver his flaming strikes while exploiting the brief windows of opportunity for counterattacks. This boss tests both the defensive and offensive skills of the player, making it crucial to master dodging and counterattack techniques.
Fire King Attack Patterns
Understanding the Fire King’s attack patterns is essential for planning a successful strategy:
Blazing Swipe
Description: The Fire King sweeps his flaming weapon in a wide arc, dealing massive damage and leaving a burning effect.
Weakness: Dodge to the outside just before the swing lands. Counter with quick strikes before he recovers.
Molten Meteor
Description: Summons a series of meteors that fall from above, creating burning zones on the ground.
Weakness: Watch the shadows on the ground and move away from impact zones. Use this opportunity to strike while he is casting.
Inferno Charge
Description: Charges forward at great speed, engulfed in flames, knocking down everything in his path.
Weakness: Sidestep at the last moment to avoid the charge and attack him from behind while he is regaining balance.
Flame Burst
Description: When his health drops below 50%, the Fire King releases a burst of flames around him, dealing area damage and pushing back all players in close range.
Weakness: Maintain distance when he reaches half health. Use ranged attacks and abilities to continue dealing damage safely.
Fire King Battle Strategy
To defeat the Fire King, players need to focus on avoiding his high-damage fire attacks while using spells and abilities that exploit his brief vulnerability windows. Here are the recommended strategies:
Recommended Skills
Equip skills like Quick Step to dodge his quick melee attacks and Water Sphere for extinguishing flames temporarily and mitigating damage over time.
Recommended Equipment
Equip armor and items that have high fire resistance, such as the Fireproof Mantle, to survive his devastating fire attacks. Weapons that can quickly strike, such as the Rapid Sabre, are ideal for landing fast counterattacks during openings.
Tactics
Phase 1
During the initial phase, prioritize dodging and striking back quickly after each of his attacks. Avoid standing still for too long, as he frequently uses area attacks that punish static players. Utilize Quick Step and Water Sphere to mitigate damage from his flame-based attacks.
Phase 2
When the Fire King reaches 50% health, he becomes more aggressive, unleashing his Flame Burst ability. Keep your distance and switch to ranged tactics using spells like Ice Shards to deal damage from afar. Maintain your focus on dodging his new attacks and wait for the right moments to strike.
