Water-Wood Beast Overview
The Water-Wood Beast is an optional yet formidable boss in Black Myth: Wukong, encountered in Chapter 6 at the Foothills/Verdant Path location. This beast embodies the power of water and wood elements, making it a unique challenge for players due to its ability to manipulate both to create powerful attacks. The Water-Wood Beast is a massive creature with a combination of melee and area-of-effect (AoE) attacks that require quick reflexes and strategic planning to defeat.
Water-Wood Beast Attack Patterns
Understanding the Water-Wood Beast’s attack patterns is crucial for defeating it. Here are its primary attacks and how to counter them:
Branch Whip
Description: The Water-Wood Beast swings its massive branches to whip the area in front of it, causing heavy damage.
Weakness: Dodge backward or sideways to avoid the attack and use ranged attacks to counter when the beast is recovering.
Water Cannon
Description: It charges and releases a high-pressure water stream that travels in a straight line, knocking back and damaging anything in its path.
Weakness: Sidestep quickly to avoid the water stream and close the distance to land a few hits.
Root Entangle
Description: The boss summons roots from the ground to entangle the player, immobilizing them temporarily.
Weakness: Use quick evasive maneuvers to avoid getting caught or use an item to break free if entangled.
Hydro Burst
Description: The Water-Wood Beast charges up a powerful AoE water attack that damages all players within a certain radius.
Weakness: Keep a safe distance during the charge-up and move in to attack when the burst ends.
Water-Wood Beast Battle Strategy
To defeat the Water-Wood Beast, focus on dodging its long-range attacks and capitalizing on its recovery periods. Here is the best strategy to ensure victory:
Recommended Skills
Equip mobility and range-based skills such as Shadow Step for quick dodging and Aqua Shield to reduce damage from water-based attacks. Ranged abilities like Stone Throw can help maintain pressure without getting too close.
Recommended Equipment
Equip armor that offers high resistance to both water and physical damage, such as the Elemental Mantle. Weapons with a fast attack speed, like the Wind Cutter, are ideal for maximizing damage output when opportunities arise.
Tactics
Phase 1
Stay mobile and focus on learning the Water-Wood Beast’s attack patterns. Use the environment to your advantage, taking cover when it uses ranged attacks. Prioritize avoiding damage and use hit-and-run tactics to chip away at its health.
Phase 2
As the boss’s health drops below 50%, it will increase the frequency and intensity of its AoE attacks. Keep your distance and use ranged abilities to whittle down its health while avoiding powerful attacks like the Hydro Burst.
