Stone-Eater Boss Guide: Conquer the Giant Foe in Black Myth Wukong
Stone-Eater Overview
Stone-Eater is a formidable boss in Black Myth: Wukong, known for its rugged, stone-like skin and its ability to perform devastating ground-based attacks. Found deep within the rocky terrains of Chapter 2, Stone-Eater tests players’ agility and strategic planning. This boss’s massive size and ground-shaking moves require precise timing and patience to defeat. The battle is split into two phases, each introducing more aggressive attack patterns.
Stone-Eater Attack Patterns
Understanding Stone-Eater’s attack patterns is crucial for victory:
Rock Barrage
Description: Stone-Eater hurls multiple large boulders at the player from a distance.
Weakness: Dodge sideways right before the boulders reach you; use the momentary pause after the barrage to close the distance.
Ground Smash
Description: A heavy smash attack that sends shockwaves across the ground.
Weakness: Jump over the shockwaves and rush in for quick attacks before it recovers.
Stomp and Quake
Description: Stone-Eater stomps the ground with immense force, creating a quake that causes damage over time.
Weakness: Move out of the affected area immediately and utilize ranged attacks while keeping your distance.
Stone Skin
Description: Activates a defensive mode that significantly reduces damage taken.
Weakness: Use high-damage skills and spells to break through the defense, especially when the boss is stationary.
Stone-Eater Battle Strategy
Defeating Stone-Eater requires careful attention to its attack patterns and well-timed counterattacks. Here’s the best strategy to succeed:
Recommended Skills
Equip mobility-based skills like Shadow Dance to dodge its slow yet powerful attacks effectively. Spells that deal elemental damage, such as Flame Burst, can bypass its Stone Skin defense when used correctly.
Recommended Equipment
Opt for weapons that allow quick consecutive strikes, like the Light Hammer or Swift Blade, to maximize damage during openings. Defensive gear like the Earthwalker Boots can help mitigate damage from shockwaves and stomps.
Tactics
Phase 1
Focus on staying agile and dodging Stone-Eater’s boulder throws and ground smashes. Use quick attacks during recovery windows, and avoid heavy attacks as they leave you vulnerable.
Phase 2
In the second phase, Stone-Eater’s attacks become faster and more aggressive. Use high-damage spells to break its Stone Skin defense. Maintain distance and leverage ranged abilities when the boss becomes more erratic.
