In Black Myth: Wukong, the Second Rat Prince is a formidable foe you’ll face early in Chapter 2 at Sandgate Village. The area is overrun with rat enemies you must eliminate to reach the main gate, where the King Rat and his beloved son, the Second Prince of Flowing Sands, await.
To find this boss, follow these steps:
- Start at Sandgate Village’s Village Entrance Shrine and take the wooden bridge, but instead of going through the first gate, take the path on the right.
- At the next wooden bridge, go left towards the village.
- Open the gate ahead to trigger the cinematic with the Second Rat Prince and King Rat.
Here’s the catch: you can only defeat one of them in this fight. If you take down the Second Rat Prince, the King Rat will escape, leading you to a battle with the First Prince Of Flowing Sands. But if you go after the King Rat first, the Second Rat Prince will fly into a rage, making his attacks even more devastating.
To make the fight easier, focus on defeating the Second Rat Prince before his father. The King Rat will still interfere by climbing pillars and hurling rocks at you, so use Charged Attacks to knock down the pillars.
The key to victory against the Second Rat Prince is dodging his attacks. Utilizing Red Tiles and Immobilize will also give you an edge. Upon defeating him, you’ll be rewarded with Yaoguai Core, Blood of the Iron Bull Stone Spirit, and Silk.
Prepare yourself, as the next enemy is the Second Rat Prince’s older brother, and he won’t be pleased about his sibling’s demise. Stay focused, use your skills wisely, and you’ll emerge triumphant in this royal rat rumble.
