The Whiteclad Noble Boss in Black Myth: Wukong is a mandatory character boss fight that appears in Chapter 1 of the game. It is not categorized as a Yaoguai Boss, but is more similar to an end-of-area Yaoguai King, with two boss phases to survive. It is one of the most powerful bosses you will encounter, so it is important to know its weaknesses and tips and tricks to beat it. In this guide, we are going to cover all of these for you, so that you won’t have any problems defeating it.

You will battle Whiteclad Noble in Bamboo Grove, at the nearest shrine called Marsh of White Mist. We recommend putting on a custom build for this boss. This build will undoubtedly make the second stage of the fight much easier.

In this guide, we are going to talk about the best build for this boss, its weaknesses, and how to deal with it during both phases.

Build for Whiteclad Noble Boss

You want to come to the Self-Advance screen and reactivate your points. There is no punishment for doing this; you can do it as many times as you want. If you want to change your build back, simply return to the shrine after defeating the boss. You can always take a screenshot of anything you had equipped before this build and switch it back later.

Stance

Choosing your Stance for any boss encounter in Black Myth: Wukong is critical to planning your combat strategy. Here are the best Stance options you can choose for this boss.

  • Pillar Stance
  • Smash Stance

When fighting Whiteclad Noble, the Pillar Stance is the most effective approach to level up because it allows you to perch on top of your staff and use your Heavy Attack to strike opponents from above.

Another tactical choice is Smash Stance, which allows you to charge your Heavy Attack while moving. This is a very adaptable option, as movement and agility are critical in the battle against Whiteclad Noble. Because he runs quickly over the battlefield, occasionally moving away from the player, employing this Stance allows you to run up and close to him while preparing to land a critical hit with your Heavy Attack.

Mysticism

  • Immobilize

While you will only have the Immobilize Mysticism, you can improve it using the skill tree. Immobilize is a control spell that freezes the adversary in place, allowing you to deliver damage for a short time before they break free.

To maximize its effectiveness, cast it while Whitecladd Noble is fatigued, staggered, or down. You can perform as many Light Attacks as possible, a few Heavy Attacks, or a combination of the two. Depending on your Stances, there will be a combination that deals the maximum total damage when locked in place.

Keep in mind that changing your stance requires you to click on your directional pad. The bottom right corner will show you exactly what stance you are in, so make sure to switch to the Pillar Stance.

Spirit

After defeating specific high-level opponents and bosses in the game, you can cultivate their Spirits at any Keeper’s Shrine. This allows you to temporarily take on their form and employ their effects, which can be highly powerful in the fight. At this point in Chapter 1, you will have unlocked Wandering Wight and Guangmou’s Spirits.

Because you can only use one, whatever your preferred gameplay style determines the one you choose.

  • Wandering White’s Spirit is ideal for players who prefer heavy attacks that deliver tanky hard strikes. Using this spirit allows you to bash against adversaries with your massive bronze skull, which deals terrible damage.
  • Guangmou allows you to conjure snakes that spit venom at your opponent, damaging Poison.

Transformation

Like Spirits, players can also use Transformations, though there aren’t as many options in transformation in Chapter 1. In this chapter, players will only earn one transformation, with another in Chapter 2.

You will be given a secondary life bar, allowing you to use the Moon Dance Light Attack, which repeatedly cuts the enemy, and the Moon Chase Heavy Attack, which consists of dash attacks. The attacks will set Whiteclad Noble on fire, and despite the fact that you are both standing in water, he can still receive some status damage from them, although the blades themselves will deal the most damage.

Consumables

  • Evil Repelling Medicament
  • Fortifying Medicament

The ideal consumable to bring is Evil Repelling Medicament, an Uncommon Alleviating Medicine that dramatically boosts Damage Reduction over time.

Another consumable to consider is the Fortifying Medicament, which is another Alleviating Medicine that boosts the Tenacity of specific staff skills. Using this will make your Stances and attacks less vulnerable to interruptions for a brief period of time, which is incredibly beneficial given that Whiteclad Noble may stun players severely.

Whiteclad Noble Boss’ Weaknesses

When you are in the air, especially when in the pillar stance, the boss appears to be open to attacks. This stance helps you to avoid the enemy’s ground strikes while placing yourself to strike from above.

Using the immobilize ability early in the fight can dramatically diminish the boss’s health. This weakness enables you to deliver significant damage in the initial phase, making the second phase more manageable.

The boss’s ground attacks, while powerful, leave it vulnerable to counterattacks when dodged with the pillar stance. Timing your dodges and attacks to coincide with the boss’s recovery from ground attacks allows you to take advantage of this vulnerability.

Phase 1

Start the fight like you would any other. In the first phase, use your immobilize ability as soon as the battle begins to deal the most damage possible. During this phase, you can effortlessly dodge most of the boss’s attacks. To successfully escape ground attacks, move to the pillar stance by pressing up on the directional pad.

It’s best to save your transformation ability for the second phase when the combat becomes more difficult and you will require extra power.

Phase 2

If you have not previously switched to the pillar stance, do so as you begin the second phase. This stance is important since it allows you to avoid the boss’s ground assaults by holding down the heavy attack button, which sends you airborne.

The key to surviving this phase is to maintain your stamina. Each time you dodge a ground strike with the pillar stance, you will lose a considerable amount of stamina. Ensure you have enough stamina to last until the boss is destroyed.

Once you have dodged a few of the boss’s hits, use your transformation ability. This will cause massive damage and provide you with an advantage throughout this difficult phase.

Continue to dodge and attack in between the boss’ ground attacks. With this build, you should have no issue defeating the boss.
