How To Defeat The Mother of Stones
Best Tips & Strategy
The Mother of Stones is surprisingly passive for a boss inBlack Myth: Wukong. She sits in place and does nothing. No attacks, defenses, or evasion. Instead,she continually summons Lesser Yaoguai minionsto protect her. So you must shift focus between beating up the immobile boss and the possible waves of enemies.
YouTuberEsoterickkfought the Mother of Stones and came out taking no damage. The biggest takeaway is to not get greedy by ignoring the Lesser Yaoguai. Once the minions are dealt with, the actual boss has no protection and can be wailed on relentlessly.
At first, a single Lesser Yaoguai is called. But soon, two or more will arrive at the same time. Always defeat every Lesser Yaoguai before going back to the Mother of Stones. Otherwise, you may become overwhelmed.
The Lesser Yaoguai are the main threat. Each has little health, but they can hit hard with a few attacks. At melee range, they use a three-hit combo. This should be dodged rather than use aparry or block. If at a medium distance,they will charge at a moderate speedbut can be evaded. At a further distance, each Lesser Yaoguai will fire offa hail of crystal energy, which you should back away from to be out of the area of effect.
Eventually, the Mother of Stones will crumble. Go back to Man-In-Stone, who will be grateful for your assistance. He will offer wares as a new merchant inBlack Myth: Wukong. You can purchase some rare or fully unique items like theBlood of Iron Bullmaterial orGold Ridge Beasttreasure.
