How to beat Tiger Vanguard in Black Myth: Wukong
Well, a bit like what happened with Black Bear Kuai, the fight against Tiger Vanguard is challenging, but easy to tackle once you know how to do it. Let’s start with some initial tips.
This boss’s attacks are not very fast, but they are devastating. Because of this, Guangzhi is a perfect ally for you. With his strong attack, you can easily keep up with the Tiger. On the other hand, The Illusory Hairsespecially in the first half of the fight, are a very important element.
As for spells, there is a key moment to use them: when the boss starts to retreat. He usually does some backward pirouettes to put distance between you and him, and this is the perfect time to both immobilize him and use Cloud Step. That said, let’s look at the attacks:
- Jump Attack: Like any good kitty, Tiger Vanguard jumps at you with a huge leap that does a lot of damage. Luckily, it’s easy to dodge and punish.
- Combo: Two punches, the second with a slight delay to catch you off guard. Again, a very standard move that you can dodge and punish.
- Low roundhouse kick: Maybe it’s just me, but this is one of his most difficult attacks to predict, as he can perform it in several moves. He usually follows it up with a back jump, which you can use to immobilize or chase with Cloud Step.
- Four hit combo: His second combo is quite a bit more powerful than the first. Don’t try to be too aggressive and save your punishments for last. If you’re near a wall, just focus on dodging.
- Sword thrust: Yes, Tiger Vanguard has a sword that he starts using when you’ve taken about a quarter of his life. This basic attack is relatively easy to dodge, but it hits very hard.
- Sword Combo: This is where things get hairy. He starts with a kick, does two quick sword strikes, and then one (with a slight delay) that also does AoE damage. Your clones are going to suffer from this, and so are you if you don’t dodge. Until you get the hang of it, just focus on not getting hit.
- Blood Throw: With your sword out, he throws 3 waves of blood towards you. Don’t punish, as it is a ranged attack. Dodge to the left.
As you can see, Tiger Vanguard has a wide and powerful repertoire of moves. Your reward for beating him will be to obtain the Solid Rock Spell.
