When you are in front of the First Prince at a medium range, he will still use his Pouncing Attack and Lunging Attack, but he will also start to use his palm stomps quite a bit. The weaker slams always come as a pair. Try to time the second palm slam for a perfect dodge. If he really winds up and slams his palm down hard, he won't follow up with another. ** The speed and impact of these palm slams make them easy enough to differentiate between. However, in general, I don't think you should be spending much time at this medium range, as that is when the First Prince is at his most dangerous.**

Since Whiteclad Noble has two forms (half serpent, half human), this boss fight is divided into two distinct phases. Each phase has its own unique attack patterns and changes in behavior, challenging you to adapt your tactics accordingly. Here’s a quick rundown of what you can expect from the Whiteclad Noble in both phases and how to effectively beat him.

In God of War , you play as Kratos, but unlike the games that came before it in this series, you are no longer the God of War that waged war on Olympus. Set approximately 150 years after 2010's God of War III, Kratos is now a mortal man living in ancient Scandinavia with his son Atreus. As Kratos, you must now fight for both survival and to protect your son.

As you are laying the smackdown on his butt, he will likely turn to face you mid-combo. Once he is facing you, he'll either try to crush you with a palm slam or smack you with a backhand. However, both of these attacks have notable tells, look for them, dodge through them, and then get behind him again.

However, to give yourself a big advantage, you should rock up to this battle with a few Tiger Subduing Pellets and Evil Repelling Medicament . These will help you take less damage while dishing more out.

When it is throwing boulders at you, or summoning other golems, you are going to need to stay quick on your feet. So, don't get caught charging a heavy attack. The Stone Vanguard will be applying too much pressure for that to be viable.

This guide will take you through everything you need to know in order to conquer this mountainous monstrosity. I will help you identify when to attack the Stone Vanguard, and when to back away. There is also a handy-dandy list of all the Stone Vanguard's moves so that you can look up any given move that is giving you problems and quickly learn a counter to it.

The biggest problem with Ring of Fire is that it occupies the same slot as Immobilize, which is significantly easier to use consistently and effectively against challenging foes. Sacrificing a powerful control spell in favor of a recovery option that can be difficult to use to its maximum potential isn't always the best fit for the aggressive playstyle that Black Myth: Wukong encourages. The hardest boss fights also tend to take place in large arenas and force a lot of dodging, so staying within the ring can be a challe

So, let's put all the above information together for you. Your strategy for beating the First Prince is pretty simple: You're going to want to bait out his lunging attacks, and then pile on the damage when he is vulnerable. Once you have done that, stick close to him, and try to circle around to his backside. Now the only attack you'll have to worry about is his tail swipe. Every time he gains a little distance, close it.

As a required boss, you can’t miss running into the Whiteclad Noble when exploring the Black Wind Mountain in Chapter 1. You’ll find him in the Bamboo Grove area, guarding the end of the Marsh of White Mist Keeper's Shrine. This is close to the area where you meet Shen Monkey, an NPC that can help upgrade your Gourd in Black Myth Wukong Myth: Wukong .

One of these is the Earth Wolf, and while an optional miniboss, defeating it is necessary to gain its Spirit. Whether it's an oversized rat or a wolf is hard to tell, but that's the least of your worries, as the Earth Wolf has a few tricks up its sleeve. However, you've also got some neat tricks from Chapter One that will help you one up on it.

Like many Spirits, the Earth Wolf's Spirit has both an active and passive ability. Equipping it increases your Focus buildup with each attack, while its Wild Rapture skill lets you take its form, charging recklessly at enemies and staggering them in the process.

Both of these swipes and his lunge are quite slow, so you should be able to easily dodge them. Once he hits the ground, he'll be vulnerable for a few seconds, though get to his left side, as he will slam his right hand down as he gets up. Make sure to lay into him when he is on the ground.

Unlike Ring of Fire, Cloud Step can actually be pretty useful when it's first acquired. The spell lets the Destined One step into an incorporeal form and leave a physical copy behind , distracting the boss while potentially dodging some major attacks. Attacking while in Cloud Step ends the form but takes enemies by surprise with an Unveiling Strike that deals extra dam
