After achieving the remarkable feat of defeating Kang-Jin Loong in chapter three ofBlack Myth: Wukong, the Destined One is transported to the Pagoda Realm. While this particular area looks lifeless, you will face hallucinations where you meet giant enemies, and your health will be halved, all because of the third mandatory boss of chapter three, Captain Wise-Voice.
Fighting Captain Wise-Voice is nothing less than a chore as it can shrink your maximum health by half momentarily. However, the fortunate part is that Captain Wise-Voice has less vitality than average if it’s hit on the correct spot, giving you an edge.
Best Equipment For Captain Wise-Voice
Unfortunately, tackling Captain Wise-Voice’smaximum health debuff is impossible, so you will have to deal with it for the time being. The debuff lastsfor a minute, and to increase your chances of survival, you must continuously run around the boss arena. Since Captain Wise-Voice affects Shock andsignificant physical damage, make these adjustments in your inventory to give him a tough fight:
With the defeat of Kang-Jin Loong, you are eligible to upgrade your base staff toKang-Jin’s Staff, boosting attack damage immensely. Of course, we all loveWandering Wight as a summon, so do not forget to upgrade him regularly to keep him up with the game’s difficulty curve.
Since the Shock elemental increases the damage Destined One takes, you will needShock-Quelling Powderto counter it.
Captain Wise-Voice Attack Patterns
Wise-Voice may not be agile, but he is definitely a heavy hitter. You can use hisslow movement speedto your advantage to dodge your attacks, but the main issue is his long-range shock lasers and how he can jump around the arena like a horse. The perfect counter to theseatrocious movesis to learn the ideal time tododge them.
How To Counter
Charged Laser Beam
The opening move of the fight; Captain Wise-Voice willcharge up his laserto shoot a massive beam from his head, inflictingsevere Shock.
After entering the boss’s arena,run and hide under his bodyto avoid the small lasers that indicate the charge-up since it is challenging to dodge. Beneath the boss, the charged beam will be unable to hit you.
Short Stomp
Captain Wise-Voice willraise one of his armsfor a short-range stomp.
Since the stomp’s radius is relatively short, you willautomatically dodge itbut avoid its raised arm.
Sweep
This recovery attack is performed when Captain Wise-Voice ispressurized in the battlewith his injured arm.
If you notice Captain Wise-Voice steadying up for a sweep,run under his body or dodge backwards.
Electric Stomp
Like the Short Stomp, Captain Wise-Voice willlift an arm to makea stomp that sends down an electric wave all over the arena.
Just before the electric wave reaches you,make a jump forward.
Electric Beam-Rain
Suddenly, Captain Wise-Voice willsummon numerous electric boltsfrom the sky, followed by lasers.
The initial lasers do minimal damage; maximize yourfocus on sprintingaround the arena. When electric circles appear on the floor, avoid them as they indicatewhere the electricity will drop.
Heavy Laser Rampage
This Captain Wise-Voice’s attack delivers the heaviest impact. He will become stationary and willimmediately release lasersfrom his head.
Since this is a massive AOE attack,spamming dodgeis the right choice here.
How To Defeat Captain Wise-Voice
Once you enter the arena, run and hide beneath Captain Wise-Voice to dodge his charged laser beam and initiatetwo full comboson his injured arm; the window is huge. Watch out for his stomps and continue thepressure on his arm.
As the pressure hits a certain threshold, Captain Wise-Voice will instantly screech thatsoft locks your maximum health. Since it’s impossible to counter, you must survivefor a minuteto make its effect disappear. Keep building up the pressure; eventually, he will be stunned, falling on his knees andexposing his golden head.
His golden head is the weak point, and to maximize the damage, he uses A Pluck of Many to create the Destined One clone and deliver immense damage.
TheWandering Wightsummon and theImmobilize spellwill come in handy. As the captain attempts to recover, you may use the Immobilize spell and Wandering Wight todeal a massive blowto his golden head.
Captain Wise-Voice’saggressivenesswill receive a significant hike with the first stun, and he will begin tosummon lightning bolts. When the maximum health’s soft lock disappears,use the gourd to heal yourself. When you see the chance, move patiently to dodge incoming lightning bolts and rush in for a full combo attack.
Refrain from rolling around his electrically charged stomp, as it will hit you no matter what. Watch the incoming electric wave, and jump at the right time.
Sooner or later, depending on your damage, Captain Wise-Voice will bestunned again, and you probably won’t have enough mana to summon anything; attack him with everything you have, including aTransformation. Repeat this cycle and you will finally beat Captain Wise-Voice without any hindrance.
