In Black Myth Wukong, the new and exhilarating action RPG from Game Science, players are sent into a fantastical world inspired by the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. In the game, players will follow the story of the Destined One and will face various challenges throughout the journey.
Among the many challenges you’ll face, the Black Bear Guai boss fight stands out as a particularly tough encounter. Players must defeat the boss to complete Chapter 1 and earn great rewards. If you’re struggling with this imposing foe, our guide will provide you with the strategies and tips needed to conquer this beast.
How to Defeat Black Bear Guai in Black Myth Wukong?
While battling through their journey in Black Myth Wukong, players will come face-to-face with various bosses and enemies. Black Bear Guai is one of them; however, what makes this boss familiar is that players have met and fought the boss in the earlier part of the game as Black Wind King. But now the boss is much tougher and has new moves to surprise players.
Aside from the familiar leaping attacks and claw attack combos, What makes this fight more challenging than before is that now it can use Cloud Step to move around (sneak behind players) in the area. Players also can Cloud Step and avoid its moves but the best strategy for this situation is to immobilize him for a few seconds and get a few hits in.
However, to immobilize him, players have to be very precise for a few reasons. Firstly, players need to stun him when he is completely out of the cloud; otherwise, they just waste their mana and the boss can still move around. Secondly, players need to make sure that the boss is not in the air (leaping attack) when they are trying to immobilize him; that will make it difficult to actually get a few attacks in.
The Second Phase: After dodging and attacking the boss, players will get it down to half its health bar. Then the boss will switch to its second form, in which his arms are surrounded by flames, meaning it can now inflict burn damage on players. This phase is a little bit more annoying, as the boss will go full offensive and attack the players by using various combos.
The best way to counter his Cloud Steps is to immobilize him again. However, unlike in the previous phase, players can now stun him when he is in cloud form, making it somewhat easier to counter and get a few of their combos in.
This fight is a test of both your offensive and defensive skills. Players need to avoid getting greedy with their attacks and focus on maintaining their strategy throughout the battle. This is how players can whittle down their health bar and defeat the Black Bear Guai in Black Myth Wukong.
Some Useful Tips to Implement During the Boss Fight

In Game Science‘s Black Myth Wukong, defeating any enemy can be challenging if players are not fully prepared and ready. As boss fights don’t require players to defeat the boss in a certain time, patience is a key to victory.
Before any fight, the best strategy is to find a shrine and rest. This not only helps create a checkpoint but also allows players to strategize before the boss fights. Since Black Bear Guai is located at the top of Black Wind Mountain, the nearest rest shrine would be Bodhi Peak.
In order to counter the second form’s fire attacks, players should complete the Three Bells quest and defeat Elder Jinchi. This will allow them to craft a Fireproof Mantle Vessel and Bronze armor set that resists fire damage.
At last, it is essential to manage your healing items and health bar efficiently. Always try to use healing items when you’re at a safe distance, and remember to stay patient and take your time during the fight (no time limit). Good luck, and may your journey through the world of Black Myth Wukong be filled with triumph and adventure.
