How to Beat Green-Capped Martialist in Black Myth: Wukong?
Strategy: How to Defeat the Green-Capped Martialist
Preparation: Equip Fireproof Mantle
Before entering the fight, equip the Fireproof Mantle, a vessel you obtained from the secret boss in Chapter 1. This item significantly reduces fire damage and will be invaluable in this fight, especially when the Martialist transforms into a wheel of fire.
Phase 1: Single Fire Wheel
- Dodging the Wheel Attack:
At the start of the fight, the Green-Capped Martialist will frequently transform into a wheel of fire and roll towards you. This attack is easily avoided by dodging sideways or running perpendicular to his path. Timing is key, so stay alert and dodge just before he reaches you. - Counterattacking:
After dodging his wheel form, quickly close the distance and land a few quick attacks. Avoid using heavy attacks or complex combos, as the boss can deflect these and leave you vulnerable. - Avoiding Fire Damage:
If you’re set on fire during the fight, dodge-roll 4-5 times in quick succession to extinguish the flames. This will minimize the damage you take and keep you in the fight longer.
Phase 2: Double Fire Wheels
As the fight progresses and the boss’s health drops, he will start transforming into two fire wheels simultaneously. This phase requires even more focus:
- Activate Fireproof Mantle:
Once the Green-Capped Martialist starts using two wheels, activate the Fireproof Mantle for complete fire damage immunity. This will allow you to focus on dodging and countering without worrying about taking fire damage. - Dodge and Counter:
Continue dodging his rolling attacks as before. However, be aware that the second wheel may come at you from a different angle, so keep moving and dodge whenever necessary. - Quick Attack Combos:
When the boss reverts to human form, use quick attacks to deal damage. Heavy attacks and complex combos are still risky due to his deflection ability, so stick to straightforward, fast strikes.
Special Attacks and Tips
- Weapon Throw:
The Green-Capped Martialist may throw his weapon as part of a combo, typically as the fourth hit. Watch out for this and dodge accordingly to avoid taking unnecessary damage. - Immobilize Spell:
Save your mana for the Immobilize spell rather than using the Pluck of Many spell, as clones will be ineffective when the boss is in wheel form. Immobilize will allow you to land a full combo while he’s vulnerable. - Transformation with Azure Dust:
If you choose to transform during the fight, use Azure Dust to enhance your speed and agility. This will help you keep up with the boss’s rapid movements and rolling attacks.
