How to Beat the Supreme Inspector in Black Myth: Wukong
The Supreme Inspector is one of the toughest bosses in Black Myth: Wukong. This powerful adversary can only be unlocked after collecting four Purple Talismans, making it a challenge to even begin the fight. Found in the Foothills region, this boss tests your ability to dodge, counter, and use your gear and abilities strategically.
Preparing for the Fight: Collect the Purple Talismans
Before facing the Supreme Inspector, players must collect four Purple Talismans. These talismans are spread across key locations like the Webbed Hollow and the Temple of Yellow Flowers. After gathering them, return to the Temple and interact with the shrine to initiate the battle.
- First Talisman: Located near the Vendor Bridge.
- Second Talisman: Found by the Cliff of Oblivion Keeper's Shrine.
- Third Talisman: Close to the Court of Elimination Keeper's Shrine.
- Fourth Talisman: Hidden behind a tree in the Temple of Flowers.
The Supreme Inspector’s Abilities and Attack Patterns
Once the battle begins, you will quickly realize that the Supreme Inspector has an extensive health pool and a variety of deadly attacks. Here are the main attacks to watch out for:
- Wing Slashes: Wide arcs that can hit players from a distance.
- Grab Attacks: The Supreme Inspector will attempt to grab you with its hand-like head, dealing massive damage if successful.
- Aerial Dives: Quick aerial attacks that need precise dodging.
- Fire Ring AoE: In the second phase, the boss will summon a fire ring, limiting your movement and increasing the challenge.
Best Strategies to Defeat the Supreme Inspector
Given the complexity of this boss fight, a few key strategies can make a huge difference:
1. Upgrade Your Gear
Before the battle, make sure to upgrade your armor and potions. Potions like Age Wine are crucial for survival as they provide enhanced healing during the fight. Gear upgrades also increase your damage output, helping to shorten this prolonged battle.
2. Utilize Stun Attacks
Stun attacks and transformations are essential for creating damage windows. Abilities like Immobilize and Wandering Wight Spirit can help stagger the boss, allowing you to deal significant damage without fear of a counter-attack.
3. Stay Mobile
The Supreme Inspector excels at punishing players who stay in one place too long. Use quick dodges to avoid its powerful wing slashes and ground smashes. When the boss takes to the air, be ready to dodge its aerial dive attacks, and counter as soon as it lands.
Phase Two: The Ring of Fire
Once the Supreme Inspector’s health drops below 30%, the battle enters its second phase. The boss will create a ring of fire around the arena, significantly reducing your movement options. In this phase, it becomes even more important to time your dodges perfectly and avoid the fire at all costs.
Focus on landing quick hits when the boss is grounded and continue to use your stun attacks whenever possible. Patience is key in this phase, as the reduced space makes it harder to avoid its attacks.
Conclusion: Master the Fight
Defeating the Supreme Inspector in Black Myth: Wukong requires patience, strategy, and mastery of dodging mechanics. By upgrading your gear, using stun attacks effectively, and staying mobile throughout the fight, you can bring down this challenging boss and move forward in your journey.
Good luck, warrior! May your skills as the Monkey King prevail!
