-Black Wind King
Looking at the map from the previous stage, the Land Temple in the Black Wind Cave is right at the entrance to the Black Wind King.
As soon as you enter, it’s boss battle time.
The Black Wind King, in the form of a muscular monk, awaits the chosen one.
Over the past five hundred years, he has been rebuilding the temple and guiding lost souls in his own way.
After the Black Wind King finishes speaking, he will attack immediately, so avoid him and wait for an opening before attacking.
His close combat abilities are terrifying, so it’s best to wait for a weakness to appear.
Perfectly dodge his vertical chop for a good opportunity to attack.
When the king drinks and breathes fire, or stomps his foot, those are also opportunities to attack.
If he transforms his aura, be cautious and listen for cues, dodge whenever you hear an explosion sound to perfectly evade.
The number of times he charges in his aura form is random, but he will always land in the center at the end.
When you see the wind circling, start charging your stick to get closer.
After the wind circle explodes, immediately hit him with a heavy stick attack to reduce his health.
This is the best time to chip away at the king’s health.
The rest of the fight involves immobilization, transformation, and headbutts, follow the same strategy of hitting him with a heavy stick after evading the wind circle.
After the king’s defeat, he disperses and leaves, asking the chosen one to meet him at the mountain top for a final battle.
The old man of the land has collected the king’s scattered aura during this opportunity, transferring it to the chosen one.
This makes it easier to explore the map stealthily.
Don’t forget to search the area, there are Winter Bugs in jars that can be upgraded to wine by the Monkey.
Nearby, there are items like Old Mountain Ginseng, a precious play agate jar that increases defense, and Water Lily Roots.
