Black Myth: Wukong Boss Battle Strategies – Chapter 2: King of Sand & Sand Erlang (Father and Son of the Sand Kingdom)

In “Black Myth: Wukong,” there are nearly a hundred types of bosses and demon kings, commonly referred to as elite monsters and BOSSes. These enemies have different mechanics and do not share skins, requiring players to adapt to each enemy. Below is a complete BOSS strategy guide for “Black Myth: Wukong,” hoping to assist all players. PS: The Specter is an elite version of minor monsters and does not belong to the BOSS category; it is listed under minor demons in the “Travelogue.” Therefore, this type is not included in this tutorial. For specific strategies, you can refer to the “Black Myth: Wukong” Specter beginner’s guide.

Analysis of Techniques and Countermeasures

This is a two-person BOSS. The Sand King is smaller in size and often uses ranged attacks on players from the edge during battle, but the damage is relatively low. Sand Erlang wields a large hammer with a long handle, has a larger physique, and has a noticeable wind-up before attacking, but deals high damage.

The order in which the Sand King and his son are killed will also affect the subsequent plot and rewards. If you kill Sand Erlang first, the Sand King will escape. You will lose the 【Essence of Sand Erlang】 but will be able to activate the boss battle with Sand Dalang.

If you kill the Sand King first, Sha Erlang’s strength will increase. Defeating Sha Erlang will grant you Sha Erlang’s essence and the item [Sand King’s Flesh] to activate the boss battle with Sha Dalang.

To receive the full rewards, you must first defeat the Sand King and then defeat Sand Erlang. This way, you can obtain Sand Erlang’s essence and also activate the boss battle with Sand Dalang.

Because the strength of Sha Erlang increases significantly after defeating the Sand King, we need to reduce Sha Erlang’s health to one-third at the start of the battle, controlling the health while the difficulty is low.

Then find the stone pillars where the Sand King is hiding in the battlefield, and hide behind the pillars to guide Sand Erlang to smash the pillars with his weapon.

Seeing the Sand King fall, go straight in for a flurry of attacks, repeat this process until the Sand King is defeated, and finally take down the previously weakened Sand Er Lang. This battle ends.
