In Black Myth: Wukong, Non-White is a challenging story boss that players must face twice in Chapter 3. This guide will provide you with the strategy to defeat him in both encounters, ensuring a smooth progression through the game.
Location: Finding Non-White
Non-White is encountered in the Valley of Ecstasy at the Mindfulness Cliff. This is an unmissable story boss, so you will come across him directly after the shrine on the main path. After defeating him the first time, Non-White will retreat and spawn further up the path, requiring you to battle him once more.
Difficulty: What to Expect
Non-White is rated at 3/10 in difficulty. While not the most formidable boss, he introduces a new mechanic with an armor bar that players must deplete before dealing direct health damage. His attacks vary between the two encounters, adding a layer of complexity to the fight.

Strategy: How to Defeat Non-White
First Encounter: Ice Element Attacks
In your initial encounter with Non-White, he wields an ice-spear and focuses on ice element attacks that can freeze you if you’re not careful. Here’s how to approach the fight:
- Breaking the Armor Bar:
Non-White has an armor bar that must be depleted before you can damage his health. Focus your attacks on breaking this armor as quickly as possible. Use quick-attack combos and abilities that deal multiple hits to bring down the armor bar efficiently. - Dodge Ice Attacks:
Non-White will use ice-based attacks that can freeze you, leaving you vulnerable. Keep moving and dodge frequently to avoid being caught by these attacks. If you do get frozen, be ready to break free quickly and resume your assault. - Aggro with Transformation and Spells:
Once you’ve depleted his armor, activate Transformation to increase your damage output. Use Immobilize to temporarily freeze Non-White in place, then follow up with Pluck of Many to summon clones that will assist in the fight. Keep the pressure on with quick-attack combos until you deplete his health.
Second Encounter: Poison Element Attacks
After you defeat Non-White the first time, he will retreat and reappear further up the path. In this second encounter, he switches to poison-based attacks that can inflict continuous damage if they hit you.
- Stay Aggressive:
As with the first fight, you’ll need to break his armor bar before you can deal health damage. Use the same strategy of quick-attack combos and spells to wear down his armor quickly. - Avoid Poison Attacks:
Non-White’s poison attacks are more dangerous than his ice attacks, as they can cause continuous damage over time. Dodge these attacks carefully and keep an eye on your health. If you get hit, use a healing charge to negate the ongoing damage. - Finish the Fight:
Once his armor is down, repeat the strategy of Transformation, Immobilize, and Pluck of Many. With his health bar exposed, it won’t take long to finish him off. Stay aggressive and don’t give him a chance to recover.
Rewards for Defeating Non-White
Upon defeating Non-White, you’ll receive the following rewards:
- 1188 Will: A boost to your resources.
- 2x Yaoguai Core: Valuable materials for crafting and upgrades.
- 1x Refined Iron Sand: Another essential material for enhancing your equipment.
By following this strategy, you can defeat Non-White in both encounters without too much difficulty. His armor bar adds a layer of challenge, but with the right approach, you’ll be able to break through and claim victory.
