One of the first major fights in Black Myth: Wukong is the wolf-like demon Lingxuzi who resides in the Guanyin Temple in the Forest of Wolves. Certainly not the hardest enemy out there, but its quick yet telegraphed attacks will keep you dancing around the arena. Nevertheless, you can check out these beginner's tips to get the edge.
With this guide, we will help you defeat this ferocious wolf, the chief of all the wolves you beat until this point in the game. The fight brings several valuable rewards that will be useful later in the game and prepare you for tougher enemies.
How to Find Lingxuzi and Beat Lingxuzi
To find Lingxuzi in Black Myth: Wukong, you will need to go through the entire Forest of Wolves on the Black Wind Mountain, the same area in which you can find a hidden questline. Your journey will start from the shrine outside the forest and make your way past several wolves until you reach a cave.
Follow the path through the cave, and you’ll eventually find yourself at the entrance of Guanyin Temple. After dealing with a group of enemies outside, head up the stairs to the temple, activate the nearby shrine, and prepare for the battle inside.
Once you enter the temple, Lingxuzi will immediately attack with a series of swipes and leaps. His attacks are quick but largely telegraphed, allowing you to dodge and counterattack.
However, his howling attack will knock you down if you are too close, and his bite, if he connects, can deal massive damage.
To counter the boss, you should use Immobilize and Red Tides, and if you want to defeat it quickly, use your Pillar Stance to stay above his low attacks and strike when he is recovering from his leaps and slams.
In addition to rewards, after you beat the boss, you can come into possession of a Celestial Jade Lotus Pil that increases your max HP. Head straight through the temple on the opposite side of the arena and turn left. There is a golden chest on a table; open it to claim the Celestial Jade Lotus Pill.
When you defeat Lingxuzi, you will earn 1049 XP, 705 Will, and one Stone Spirit. He will also drop a Grey Wolf Mask headgear and a Mind Core.
