How to Defeat Guangmou

Guangmou is a fairly difficult boss in comparison to the deadlyWandering Wightand highly-maneuverableGuangzhi. He uses poison as his main attack that can cause damage over time if you’re inflicted with it too much. If you see your HP getting lower and a green mist around your monkey protagonist, you’re poisoned. Thankfully, you’re able to use an Antimiasma Powder to counter it and remove the Poisoned State. You’ll even get a significant resistance to poison for a short duration.

The legend of the Monkey King has come to life like never before in Black Myth: Wukong.

One of Guangmou’s main attacks is blue projectiles that are sent in the air directly towards you. These can be easily countered by using a Staff Spin. On a controller, it’s the left trigger button (or L2 for DualShock/DualSense users). You can get some decent combos on this guy while he’s not moving. B careful, as he can spit out poisonous fumes from his mouth, Asuka-style. You also don’t want to get greedy as Guangmou can launch a blue aura sending you back.

At one point during the fight, Guangmou will summon worms from the ground, which spit poison at you. Dodge these projectiles and try to hit them to eliminate these pests. They will borrow back into the ground after a little while, though. Guangmou also releases a whirlwind towards you. Simply move to the right or the left or sprint out of its vicinity.
