Black Myth: Wukong Boss Battle Strategies – Chapter 2: Redbeard Dragon

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

The main attack methods of the Redbeard Dragon are large claw strikes with its front paws and sweeping its tail to hit enemies behind it. Occasionally, it will also fly into the sky to use lightning spells and then dive down next to the player.

Overall, it’s easy to dodge because the wind-up is very obvious and the movements are quite large.

During combat, just dodge skills normally and weave in basic attacks. The Crimson Beard Dragon will enter a downed state after attacking for a while and reaching its resilience limit. At this point, we need to continuously attack the machines behind it to accumulate enough damage to make the machines explode, which can deal a significant amount of damage.

Then continue to repeat the routine to dodge skills and wait for the machine to fall down to attack; the difficulty of the battle is not high.
