Black Myth Wukong - How To Defeat Emerald Armed Mantis

When you manage to reach Chapter 6 of Black Myth Wukong, you'll quickly stumble upon Mount Huaguo. Apart from the Celestial Soldiers of the Court and the Supreme Inspector, you'll have to face the Emerald Armed Mantis boss.

With his quick movements and aggression, saying that this enemy is tough to defeat would be an understatement. In this guide, we'll show you how to beat the Emerald Armed Mantis so you can progress towards the end of Black Myth Wukong.

Black Myth Wukong How To Find Emerald Armed Mantis

Reach the Verdant Path Keeper's Shrine and use your Somersault Cloud to fly towards the left side of the area. When you see the yellow tree in the middle of the water, drop down to trigger the cutscene with Zhu Bajie.

After you watch it, you'll find yourself in the belly of the character, where the fight against the Emerald Armed Mantis will begin. However, be aware that if you haven't collected all three pieces of the Serpentscale armor set, the cutscene will not be triggered at all, and you'll only be able to interact with the Mantis-Catching Swamp Keeper's Shrine.

If you have the entire Serpentscale armor set, its bonus will allow you to take advantage of the arena filled with blood and water by restoring your Stamina and Health faster when you're inside the pool. The Emerald Armed Mantis will use some basic attacks and three or four-hit combos.

Your most important task is to dodge and attack only when he needs time to recharge. He can close the gap between you quickly, so watch out for his quick movements at all times.

When the Emerald Armed Mantis has 70% Health left, he'll cover his arms in blood, and he'll start using attacks that involve rotating quickly and trying to slash you with his arms.

Don't attack during combos, and never go behind him because he'll hit you with his tail. At 30-40% Health, he'll use a flurry of attacks that leave afterimages behind. We recommend using the Wandering Wight Spirit to deal damage and use all the Defense bonuses available.
