Baw Li Guh Lang Boss Weaknesses & How To Beat Guide
The Baw Li Guh Lang Boss fight is not part of the main storyline progression and is thus a missable boss fight in Black Myth Wukong. To trigger this boss encounter, you will need to first interact with the NPC involved in the gourd upgrade and then jump off the platform after the bridge in Chapter 1.
In terms of winning this boss battle, we will talk about his weaknesses and some strategies you can use during the boss fight that will help you defeat the toad. So let’s get started.
Baw Li Guh Lang Weaknesses
While Baw Li’s strength is his tongue, it can also, at times, be his weakness. Here’s what you can do to have an advantage while the toad boss uses his tongue against you.
- Use the Immobilize spell on his tongue by timing your casting just until he protrudes his tongue and right before he hits you to stop it mid-way.
- The toad boss is vulnerable to getting hit from the side so you can take this chance to use your Red Tide spell to transform and also help you out during his attacks.
You can unlock the Red Tide spell by defeating an optional boss named Guangzhi. The spell allows you to inflict burn damage on your enemies.
Strategies to beat Baw Li Guh Lang
This Yaoguai Toad is not equipped with many moves but he is fast and can often land their moves very quickly. Defeating this boss will need good dodging skills on your end. Let’s take a look at some more strategies.
Baw Li Guh Lang’s standard attack
His common attack includes a series of swipes he performs with both arms that thrust him forward resulting in a small leaping splash attack. This attack also allows him to reposition.
You’ll need to dodge the first swipe to the side, then you can wait for him to leap back towards you. That’s when you use Immobilize to keep his tongue in place while you attack.
The toad boss may also use his swipes and slams independently or in a three-hit combo, so watch out for a follow-up attack before you counter.
Dodging Baw Li Guh Lang’s attacks
You’ll need to stay on guard when dodging yourself to face his back. This is because he might even when reposition himself as he turns his body by hopping.
Then, instead of landing, he’ll spring out his legs and perform a frog leg kick with massive power in your direction! This boss is fast but you might have to be faster and evade his attacks in time.
Baw Li Guh Lang’s strongest/fastest attack
Baw Li has an extremely damaging and fast attack you’ll need to be wary of. The attack appears when he’s directly facing you and he pauses for a tiny moment momentarily as he lowers his arms across his chest.
After this, he’ll then lunge at you with an extremely quick dash. When this happens, you’ll need to dodge the body slam quickly to the side before you strike back at the toad.
The main trick here is to master the art of dodging alongside all the tips mentioned above. To ensure you’re fast and that your gameplay runs smoothly, you might need to optimize your game. Here is a complete optimization guide for you.
Defeating him will earn you a Tadpole Material and a purple spirit that you can absorb using your new Blessed Gourd upgrade!
