Elder Jinchi Boss Guide

Master the Elder Jinchi boss fight in Black Myth: Wukong with this expert guide. Learn his attacks, weaknesses, and the best strategies to overcome him.

Alright, let's get you prepped for Elder Jinchi! He's the final piece of that hidden bell questline, so we gotta take him down. Before you even think about stepping into the arena, make sure your gear is solid. You'll want the Twin Serpents Staff Weapon and the Pilgrim’s Armor Set equipped. Also, grab the Evil Repelling Medicament from the shop – it's a lifesaver for reducing incoming damage, which is super handy for pretty much any boss fight.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Elder Jinchi can regenerate health by consuming adds.
• He has several close-range and shockwave attacks.
• Immobilize spell is effective for free damage.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Standard Combat

   Elder Jinchi will use his basic attacks. The main threat here is letting him consume the adds on the battlefield, as this restores his health. Your strategy should be to get in 2-4 hits, then retreat to avoid his close-range attacks. After that, focus on eliminating the adds to keep your health up and prevent his regeneration.

2. Phase 2: Mid-Health Regeneration

   Once Elder Jinchi's health drops to about halfway, he'll start glowing and float into the sky. This is a critical moment. You need to quickly take down as many of the glowing adds as possible before they reach him. If he consumes them, he'll regain a significant portion of his health, setting you back.

Strategy:

• Spacing is Key: Don't stand too close to Elder Jinchi. He has a nasty stomp attack that'll knock you down and leave you open. Keep a moderate distance, strike a few times, and then back away.
• Deal with Adds Promptly: The adds are more than just a nuisance; they're a direct way for Jinchi to heal. Always prioritize taking them out, especially when they start to glow, indicating they're about to home in and explode.
• Shockwave Blast: When he punches the ground, a shockwave is coming. Get away from him to avoid the follow-up blast, which hits hard. If you do get caught, don't waste potions – focus on killing adds to regenerate health instead.
• Stomp Attack: If you're glued to him, he'll stomp. This is your cue to disengage and wait for another opening.
• Blast Attack: Watch out when he starts consuming adds. Create distance immediately, as he'll unleash the energy from the consumed adds in a powerful blast.
• Add Explosion: When adds glow, they're on a kamikaze mission. Keep moving and take them down before they reach you and detonate.
• Use Your Spells: If you have the immobilize spell, now's the time to use it. It'll give you a window to land some easy damage without him fighting back.
• Don't Get Greedy: This is a marathon, not a sprint. Focus on consistent damage and good defense rather than trying to land too many hits and getting punished.

Stick to this plan, manage the adds, and keep your distance, and Elder Jinchi shouldn't give you too much trouble.
