Yellow Long in Chapter 4 of Black Myth: Wukong has proven to be a major roadblock for many players. His lightning-fast attacks and devastating combos make him one of the toughest bosses in the game. However, what if we told you there’s a reliable and repeatable strategy to take him down without dodging? In this guide, we’ll break down an easy-to-follow method to defeat Yellow Long with minimal skill requirements, focusing on heavy attacks and positioning.

Pre-Battle Preparation

• Consumables: Before crossing the rocks to initiate the fight, use crit and damage pellets – the strongest ones you have.
• Ring of Fire: This spell is the backbone of the strategy. It grants massive focus generation, a bit of healing, and reduces incoming damage.
• Key Spells: Cloud Step and Pluck of Many.
• Relic Choice: Equip In One Breath to charge up to four focus points in the Ring of Fire.

The No-Dodge Strategy

1. Opening Move: Start charging a three-point heavy attack just as you step over the rocks to interrupt Yellow Long’s initial charge.
2. Ring of Fire Tactic: Place a Ring of Fire, stand inside, and repeatedly use heavy attacks. Move backwards to reposition when needed but return to the ring quickly to maintain focus generation.
3. Cloud Step for Downtime: When the Ring of Fire is on cooldown, use Cloud Step to dodge and deal chip damage.

Mana and Focus Management

• Use J Essence Drink and Turtle Tear Soak to manage mana.
• Alternate between using heavy attacks and the spell Pluck of Many to summon illusions that deal damage and distract Yellow Long.

Key Combos to Master

Yellow Long has several attack patterns that become more complex as the fight progresses. Mastering the timing of these attacks is crucial:

• Lightning Dash: Recognize the three speeds of his dashes and dodge accordingly.
• Aerial Strikes: As soon as you see lightning coursing through his blade, dodge backwards.

Recommended Build

• Armor: Eban Silk Set for extra damage.
• Relics: Jade Moon Rabbit and Gold Sunro for increased damage and crit chance.
• Skill Points: Focus on heavy attack damage, crit chance, and stamina in the Foundation and Survival trees.

Summary

This strategy might take a few tries to master, but with patience and correct timing, it can make this notoriously difficult boss fight manageable. By focusing on heavy attacks, focus generation, and clever use of Cloud Step, you can bring down Yellow Long without needing to dodge around frantically. Try this strategy out, and soon, you’ll be moving forward with confidence in Black Myth: Wukong!
