Feng-Tail General Overview
The Feng-Tail General is a formidable boss in Black Myth: Wukong, located in the Mantis-Catching Swamp area of Chapter 6. This giant grasshopper-like creature is one of the main story bosses that players must defeat to progress and gain crucial pieces of Wukong’s Mythic armor.

Feng-Tail General Attack Patterns
Understanding the attack patterns of Feng-Tail General is essential for devising a strategy to defeat it:
Melee Swipes
Description: The Feng-Tail General starts the battle with a series of quick melee swipes aimed directly at the player.
Weakness: Dodge sideways just before each swipe to avoid damage and create an opportunity for counterattacks.
Leaping Strike
Description: The boss leaps high into the air and attempts to crush players with a powerful downward strike.
Weakness: Move out of the way as soon as you see it jump. This creates a short window for a few hits while it recovers from the landing.
Poison Cloud
Description: Releases a toxic cloud that lingers in the area and deals damage over time to players caught within it.
Weakness: Stay mobile and move out of the poison cloud’s range immediately. Use ranged attacks to deal damage from a distance during this phase.
Area-of-Effect Slash
Description: Swings its sharp claws in a wide arc, creating a shockwave that affects a large area around it.
Weakness: Jump or roll away to avoid the shockwave. Wait for it to finish the attack, then move in for a quick hit.
Feng-Tail General Battle Strategy
To defeat Feng-Tail General, focus on dodging its rapid and powerful attacks while exploiting its recovery periods. Here are the best strategies to ensure victory:
Recommended Skills
Equip agility-based skills such as Shadow Step to quickly evade its rapid strikes and leaping attacks. Ranged abilities like Wind Blade are effective for dealing damage without getting too close.
Recommended Equipment
Use armor that provides resistance to poison and enhances agility, such as the Iron Thorn Vest. Equip fast weapons like the Quickstrike Dagger to take advantage of the boss’s brief recovery periods.
Tactics
Phase 1
Stay mobile and focus on dodging its melee attacks and leaping strikes. The key to Phase 1 is patience and quick reactions. Look for openings after each of its major attacks to land a few hits.
Phase 2
Once its health drops below 50%, it will become more aggressive and start using more area-of-effect abilities like Poison Cloud and wide claw swipes. Maintain distance and use ranged abilities to chip away at its health. Keep an eye on your stamina and avoid getting caught in the poison clouds.
