Black Myth: Wukong - How To Beat Kang-Jin (Boss Guide)

screenrant.com:

has a ton of bosses for you to beat, including Kang-Jin, an opponent you face twice in their human and dragon forms. Both Kang-Jin Loong and Kang-Jin Star are encountered in Chapter 3 as mandatory bosses that progress the story when defeated. Although they have similar attacks, you must be prepared for two different and challenging battles.

Kang-Jin Loong is one of the many Loong bosses in who you run into first in Chapter 3. You won't face off against Kang-Jin Star until later in the same Chapter, so the first fight should give you an idea of how to deal with the second. Despite their differences, both bosses have a variety of shared abilities that you can prepare for.

Both Kang-Jin Loong and Kang-Jin Star utilize lightning in their attacks to apply the Shock status effect to you. This negative ailment causes you to suffer more damage from attacks while Shocked, making some strikes from either boss even more dangerous. You won't want to be Shocked at any point by a Kang-Jin unless you have an upgraded Gourd in that can cure the condition with a sip.

Medicines are unique elixirs you can craft for various stat boosts in Black Myth: Wukong, but only after you complete an NPC's side quest.

The best way to deal with Shock is to bringShock-Quelling Powder to both boss fights. This consumable item can be bought for a cheap amount of Will and consumed to instantly cure the Shocked status as you fight. While you do have to find a window to eat this Powder during each battle, there should be enough time between either boss' recovery from attacks.

Another good way to prepare for Kang-Jin is to find any gear that raises your Shock resistance to prevent the condition from ever building up. Craft armor in to raise this stat, but try not to sacrifice better physical defense as a result.

Celestial Medicine you can create with the NPC Xu Dog can give you permanent increases to your Shock Resistance stat without the need to wear specific armor.
