With two bosses and lingering damage from Burn, you’ll want to verify your Gourd is upgraded to hold multiple sips. No matter what drinks and soaks you may have equipped, animproved Gourd inBlack Myth: Wukongcan give you more opportunities to recover from damage. With two boss health bars to get through, you’ll likely need larger reserves of healing than you would against other opponents.
Any Spirit Transformation that deals heavy damage is useful in this fight, as you’ll want tohave ways to get through both bosses' health fast. Spells likeImmobilizeandRock Solidare both great for this fight, as one can freeze the bosses in place while another can make parrying easier. The more chances you have to retaliate, the less you have to worry about the multitude of moves from both foes.
How To Defeat Cloudy Mist
Close The Distance To Deal Damage
The first form of this boss that you fight is Cloudy Mist, who wields a large staff that allows them to cast plenty of magic. In the large ashen arena where you fight, this boss starts far away from you, using projectiles and spells to keep you at bay. You want tobe aggressive and charge this enemywhile avoiding their magic to put yourself where their spells can be avoided easily.
From time to time, Cloudy Mist will shapeshift into Misty Cloud for one attack, indicating a shift into the next form of the boss. Misty Cloud can do the same, performing a quick attack in its Cloudy Mist form as it changes.
Heavy attacks that use Focus can stagger this boss, as well as the Misty Cloud form you fight later. Charge up Focus through light attack combos when you get close to Cloudy Mist, then hit them hard to knock the boss to the ground. Those with astrong enough staffshould be able to do this for huge damage, especially if you start recognizing Cloudy Mist’s limited attack patterns.
How To Counter

At the start of the fight, Cloudy Mist shoots a laser from its mask across the arena, moving it from side to side to try and hit you.
Charge towards the boss while dodging to the side or forward to avoid the laser as it is about to hit you.
Misty Flames
Cloudy Mist conjures several orbs of flame around itself, which all create many flame projectiles that track your position and target you.
Stay close to the boss and use them as a shield from the projectiles. If any get close to you, dodge at the last second to avoid damage.
Staff Strike
When you get close, Cloudy Mist lights its staff on fire and swings it from side to side to try and hit you.
Dodge forward to avoid this simple physical series of strikes.
Blinding Light
Cloudy Mist gathers energy into its staff before creating a huge flash of light, creating an AoE around itself before Misty Cloud starts to attack.
As you see Cloudy Mist gathering energy, move away from the boss to avoid taking any damage from the AoE.
