Where to Elder Jinchi, the Secret Boss of Chapter 1?
The key to unlocking the boss fight arena of Elder Jinchi is to ring three different bells you will discover in your journey in Chapter 1 in Black Myth Wukong. If you are having trouble locating these bells, I highly recommend you check out our exclusive Three Bells walkthrough to find them all easily.
As soon as you hit the three bells one by one, you will be teleported back to the Ancient Guanyin Temple. You must have fought the Wolf Demon here already by now, but you have to battle against Elder Jinchi in a different setting.
Black Myth Wukong Elder Jinchi: Weaknesses & Moveset
As of now, you must have encountered the Black Myth Wandering Wight mini-boss and defeated it. Well, the good news is Elder Jinchi is slightly a reskinned version of the Wandering Wight. As such, Elder Jinchi’s moveset is similar with attacks such as stomping, clapping, swinging its arms back to back, and ground explosions being in the mix. However, there are some new moves too which we have discussed below.
Now, talking about Elder Jinchi’s weaknesses, any form of attack such as fire, poison, etc will deal massive damage to him. Thus, make sure to utilize your transformations (Guangzhi) and spirit forms (Guangmou) to quickly deplete his health.
How to Beat Elder Jinchi in Black Myth Wukong
All read up on the Black Myth Wukong boss’ weaknesses? Learn how to defeat him below:
- The secret to winning the Elder Jinchi boss fight is to maintain distance between you and the giant. This will keep you safe from massive AOE attacks. So be sure to only get close when you get an opening.
- Dodging his attacks must be easier by now as you are already familiar with his normal attacks. Ensure you dodge his earth-shattering attacks as they can easily take away a huge chunk of your health.
- The immobilize spell is the best way to stop this gigantic guy dead in his tracks. So make sure you cast the spell in time and then damage him.
- Additionally, you can use the Guangmou spirit form to summon your snakes to slowly build up poison damage as they attack him.
- When you are low in health, transform into Guangzhi and let that fire attack flow and strike him to lose a significant portion of his health.
- Do note that Jinchi will call his swarm of zombie disciples to attack you. You can use them to your advantage. Be sure to either transform or kill them in one shot with your staff to increase your health.
- Conversely, ensure you take out all the zombies running to Elder Jinchi when he’s in a praying state. This is so the Black Myth Wukong boss doesn’t get a chance to heal.
Provided you follow our tips above, you should easily be able to beat Elder Jinchi in Black Myth Wukong. For an added edge, be sure to craft medicines and upgrade your maximum health in the game.
