Venom Daoist Boss Guide: Defeat the Poisonous Foe in Black Myth Wukong
Venom Daoist Overview
The Venom Daoist is a challenging boss encountered twice in Chapter 4 of Black Myth: Wukong. The boss can be found first in the Webbed Hollow: Pool of Shattered Jade Shrine and later in the Temple of the Yellow Flower: Court of Illumination Shrine. The Venom Daoist is known for wielding a sword with his six arms and deploying a series of poison-based attacks. Defeating him in both encounters is essential for unlocking the secret area “Purple Cloud Mountain”.
Venom Daoist Attack Patterns
Understanding Venom Daoist’s attack patterns is crucial for overcoming this formidable opponent:
Poison Blade Flurry
Description: Venom Daoist unleashes a quick series of slashes with his swords, which can inflict poison if they connect.
Weakness: Dodge sideways or use evasive skills to avoid the flurry. After the attack finishes, there’s a brief moment to counterattack.
Web Trap
Description: He throws a web-like substance onto the ground that slows down players and makes them vulnerable to further attacks.
Weakness: Quickly roll out of the affected area to avoid being trapped.
Venomous Leap
Description: A sudden leap attack that targets the player from above, leaving a poison cloud on impact.
Weakness: Dodge backward right before he lands, then approach for a few quick hits.
Six-Armed Barrage
Description: The boss spins rapidly, striking everything in his radius with his six swords, dealing significant damage.
Weakness: Maintain a safe distance and wait for the barrage to end; this is a good time to use ranged abilities.
Venom Daoist Battle Strategy
To defeat Venom Daoist, focus on maintaining distance and avoiding his poison-based attacks. Here are the best strategies to ensure victory:
Recommended Skills
Equip defensive and evasion-based skills such as Shadow Step to dodge his rapid attacks. Skills that increase resistance to poison are also highly recommended. Use Stone Throw or other ranged abilities to deal damage from a distance while avoiding close-range poison.
Recommended Equipment
Use armor that offers poison resistance, such as the Refined Iron Sand Armor. Equip weapons with high attack speed to capitalize on short windows of opportunity between his attack patterns.
Tactics
Phase 1
Focus on dodging his poison flurry and web traps. Keep moving to avoid getting caught and wait for moments when he is recovering from an attack to strike. Avoid staying in one place too long to prevent being overwhelmed by his poison.
Phase 2
The second encounter is tougher, as Venom Daoist becomes more aggressive. Use Cloud Step to avoid his leap attacks and maintain a safe distance. Use healing items strategically to keep health high while managing poison effects.
