How to beat Fuban in Black Myth: Wukong?
Strategy for Defeating Fuban
Fuban is a gigantic armored beetle with a slow but powerful attack pattern. His front legs are his only vulnerable spots, as the rest of his body is covered in thick armor that resists most damage.
Preparation
- Equip Powerful Weapons and Spells: Make sure you have the strongest weapons and spells available from your journey through Chapter 2. Immobilize and A Pluck of Many are particularly effective in this fight.
- Stock Up on Healing Items: Fuban’s attacks can be devastating if you’re not careful, so ensure you have plenty of healing items ready to use during the battle.
Combat Tactics
- Target the Weak Spots: Fuban’s front legs are his only weak spots. Focus all your attacks on these legs to deal damage. The rest of his body is armored and will resist your strikes.
- Dodge His Attacks:
- Sand Dive and Jump: Fuban’s primary attack involves digging into the sand and leaping out to land on you. This move is deadly but predictable. Dodge sideways just before he lands to avoid taking damage.
- Front Leg Swipe: Fuban will also swipe his front leg to the side. This attack is slow and easy to anticipate. When you see it coming, dodge backward to avoid the strike, then counterattack while he’s momentarily vulnerable.
- Use Immobilize and Pluck of Many: At the start of the battle, use the Immobilize spell to freeze Fuban in place and follow up with A Pluck of Many to summon clones that will help deal significant damage to his legs.
- Prepare for the Mid-Fight Phase: When Fuban’s health drops to about 70%, he will begin digging into the ground and jumping at you repeatedly. Continue dodging sideways just before he lands to evade these attacks.
Mid-Fight Cutscene
After Fuban reaches around 70% health, a cutscene will trigger. Following the cutscene, Fuban will become stationary, allowing you to climb onto his head. Move towards the glowing point on his back and interact with it to progress the fight.
NPC Assistance
After you interact with the glowing point on Fuban’s back, the NPC who initially summoned Fuban will join the fight. This NPC is a powerful ally and will deal substantial damage to Fuban. At this point, you can either let the NPC do most of the work or continue to fight alongside him if you have enough healing items left.
Final Phase Tips
- Heal Quickly: If your health drops below 50%, heal immediately. Fuban’s attacks are powerful enough to take you down in just a few hits if you’re not at full health.
- Focus on Support: With the NPC dealing heavy damage, you can take a more supportive role, focusing on avoiding attacks and landing critical hits when possible.
Rewards for Defeating Fuban
Once you’ve successfully defeated Fuban, you’ll be rewarded with:
- Wind Tamer (Vessel): A valuable item that may provide unique benefits or abilities.
- Sky-Piercing Horn (Legendary Weapon Crafting Material): A rare and powerful material used for crafting legendary weapons.
Fuban is a challenging but rewarding boss in Black Myth: Wukong. With his massive health pool and heavy armor, this battle requires patience, precision, and the right strategy. By targeting his weak points, dodging his attacks, and utilizing your spells effectively, you can bring down this colossal beetle and claim the rewards he guards. Good luck!
