To defeat all the major enemies in Black Myth Wukong, you will inevitably face a battle with the powerful Black Loong. Some obstacles or special statues in the game may hide certain secrets. Usually, in order to unlock these secrets, you need to complete specific side quests to reveal them.

Having the right items can lead you to find the path to the arena, where you will meet the powerful Black Loong. This guide is designed to teach you how to defeat Black Loong.

Where Is Black Loong?

Black Loong is hidden behind the waterfall of sand in Fright Cliff area. To find this waterfall, you need to go to Rockrest Flat shrine and climb the stairs on the right. But without the correct Black Myth Wukong Items, the sand will continue to fall. To stop the flow of sand, you need to use Loong Scales item.

This unique item is hidden in the place where you fight First Prince of Flowing Sands. You need to go through Valley of Despair shrine in Sandgate Village area. Going through the caves, you will reach a large arena. On the wall surrounding the arena, there are many statues. You can use Wandering Wight spirit to break this wall.

If you have already fought First Prince of Flowing Sands, they may have broken through the wall during the fight. Once the wall is broken, an interaction point will appear. Go through this point to a room with a chest in the center from which you can retrieve Loong Scales.

What Should You Equip Before A Fight?

Since Black Loong is an optional boss, you can complete Chapter 2 of the game without defeating him. If you have already entered Chapter 3 and defeated Kang-Jin Star, you can craft Loongscape armor set to provide you with shock resistance. If you are still in Chapter 2, it is best to prepare the best armor and weapons before the fight. Crafting as many Shock-Quelling Powders as possible will remove the shocked state and increase your defense against shock damage. It would be a good idea to consider equipping Wandering Wight spirit to improve your defense.

How To Beat Black Loong?

The key to defeating Black Loongs is to be familiar with their attack patterns and avoid them accurately. It is equipped with two huge maces that occasionally charge up and release electric shocks, which will cause shock effects. In combat, Black Loong will perform three-hit combos using maces. In addition, they will also perform a series of slam attacks. However, you can usually dodge them easily. When Black Loong completes its combo, you will have a great opportunity to counterattack.

Black Loong will also perform a jump attack, followed by a large arc attack in front of them. Since this series of moves covers a wide area in front of them, you will need to dodge and get behind Black Loong just as they are about to land. If you get too close to a Black Loong, it may start hitting one mace with another, creating an area attack. The best tactic is to keep your distance and wait for Black Loong to stop moving.

One of the most dangerous attacks of Black Loong is the frontal swing attack. First, they will slowly cross their arms in front of them and swing their maces. After a few seconds, a small tornado will form around them, and this move will end with a frontal electric swipe. You will need to use Immobilize and perform a heavy attack on it.

The second powerful skill of Black Loong in combat is to release electric circles. When they are about to use this skill, you will notice.

When Black Loong breathes electricity into its mace. You need to distance yourself from them immediately. After a few seconds, Black Loong will slam to the ground, creating a shockwave that spreads across the arena as electric circles.

It will slam the ground twice slowly, followed by two faster slams. To avoid the first electric circles, you should dodge as soon as they approach. For the next two, you need to dodge once when the electric circles are about to arrive, then quickly press the dodge button again after the electric circles pass. After the attack, Black Loong will raise both maces and slam them into the ground. When they lift the maces off the ground, they release a huge electric circle.

Drop Rewards
