In Black Myth: Wukong’s second chapter, you’ll face a formidable foe: the Tiger Vanguard. This swift and agile beast wields a massive sword, posing a significant challenge. To emerge victorious, you must:
- Stay alert: The Tiger Vanguard’s wide attack range can catch you off guard. Keep moving to avoid its powerful strikes.
- Dodge sideways: When the boss dashes towards you, swiftly move sideways to evade its charge.
- Beware the stone statue: At half health, the Tiger Vanguard gains the ability to turn into a stone statue. Don’t attack it in this state, as you’ll leave yourself vulnerable.
- Watch for decoys: The boss can create a decoy statue to ambush you. Stay vigilant and prepared to counter.
- Utilize spells and transformations: The Immobilize spell and Cloud Step skill provide valuable breathing room. Consider using the Red Tides transformation for its damage-over-time Burn effect.
Defeating the Tiger Vanguard rewards you with the Rock Solid spell, Keenness of Tiger, Mind Core, and Silk. The Rock Solid spell, obtained from the headless monk, allows you to turn into stone and block the next attack. Visit a Keeper’s Shrine to switch between Cloud Steps and Rock Solid.
