Where To Find Yellow Wind Sage

Yellow Wind Sage is found in the Yellow Wind Formation of Chapter 2 inBlack Myth: Wukong. However, while there aremultiple ways to reach this area, all the gates leading here are lockedand require key items that can only be obtained by defeating particular bosses around the Yellow Wind Ridge.
One entrance players can take is through the door where players had initially defeated the King of Flowing Sands. You will find that this boss blocks the path leading out of the Sandgate Village, which connects to the Fright Cliff region and the Crouching Tiger Temple. To enter through this way, you must firstdefeat the Stone Vanguard in Fright Cliff, to acquire the Keenness of Stone.
Alternatively, if youbeat Tiger Vanguard inBlack Myth: Wukong, you will acquire the Keenness of Tiger, allowing you to enter the cellar of the Crouching Tiger Temple, or slide down the sand slide, past the Rock Crash Platform to Windseal Gate.

Best Spirit & Transformation
Transformations andSpirits inBlack Myth: Wukongwork in similar ways, allowing you to take the form of an enemy or boss you have defeated and temporarily use their abilities. The main difference between them is thatTransformations provide you with an alternative Health and Stamina bar, which when depleted, returns you to your original state.

Boss Fight Moveset & Combat Strategy
The Yellow Wind Sage is one of the hardest bosses due to being the final Yaoguai opponent of the Chapter, who are typically tougher to challenge. He has a peculiar Greatshield, which turns out to be the head of theHeadless Monk inBlack Myth: Wukong, which he has stolen, and also wields a Trident that he uses to directly attack players.
The table below showcasesYellow Wind Sage’s main attack roster, along with countermeasures players can effectively perform in battle, to keep themselves safe and come out victorious:
Counter
Blade Wind
From a distance, Yellow Wind Sage attacks players with two horizontal slashes in quick succession, before dealing a slightly delayed vertical slash.
This requires precision and timing to effectively dodge and can be done at mid-long distance. If players are close by, observe the boss’s movements and dodge when he releases the blades.
4 Hit Staff Combo
The boss performs a combo with his Trident, which starts by striking the player with a horizontal swing. The next swing is verticle, with the final usually a downward slam, which then releases a wave of magic, dealing damage.
This combo requires carefully timed dodges for each attack, either sideways or toward the boss. position yourself beneath him to avoid the fourth and final attack of the combo.
Stomp
Yellow Wind Sage slowly but deliberately slams his foot down, before often following with a slash attack.
Make sure not to dodge too early, as the slowness of the foot slam may be deceptive. Dodge as his foot comes close to the ground, and remember to dodge the slash that follows.
Wind Barrage
Yellow Wind Sage creates wind that deals damage around the battle arena, while dealing several wide slashes with his Trident.
To evade damage from both the AoE wind and Trident slashes, create distance by rolling out of the boss’s vicinity. If you stay close, you could get hit by both attacks.
Double Leap
The boss leaps and charges towards players, before jumping backwards and performing a Heavy Attack.
Dodge to evade the initial charge, and then dodge again to avoid the backward jump attack. Make sure to pay close attention, as these movements can catch you off guard.
X Pattern Fling Attack
Yellow Wind Sage throws himself at players and rolls across the floor, which can essentially trample you.
As he starts to roll, dodge to the side and keep yourself moving to stay out of his rolling path. As he covers a wide area, maintain lots of distance and be prepared to dodge multiple times.
Shummell Gamingsuggests casting your Pluck of Many Spell immediatelywhen you start battle while using the Wandering Wight Spirit’s charge attack to stun-lock him. During this time, you and your Duplicates can deal many Light and Heavy Attacks in quick succession, taking advantage of his staggered state, to take a large chunk of HP off his health pool.
What is most unique about Yellow Wind Sage, is that he has three phases, unlike many otherbosses inBlack Myth: Wukong. In his second phase, he willturn himself into a form of sand and wind, which you won’t be able to attack. verify not to focus on attacking at this stage, but just aim to survive by dodging as he flies in and out towards you, until he goes back to his original form.
In his third phase, he will then use his formidable tornado ability, which follows him around. If you walk into it, it will throw you up in the air, and while this attack itself doesn’t do too much damage, it will stun-lock you, allowing Yellow Wind Sage to attack you directly.
The YouTuber also suggeststaking the lengthy wind-up time for his tornado ability as an opportunity to attack him. While he charges up this ability, he plants his Trident into the ground and doesn’t deal any damage to players during this process. You can get a lot of Light Attacks, a few Heavy Attacks, or Combos within this time, removing a large chunk of his Health.
ensure not to hang around too long and dodge when the wind-up finishes, to evade severe damage. It is extremely important not to get greedy when facing bosses in theBlack Myth: Wukongsoulslike.
