Black Myth: Wukong – Guide to Beating Yellowbrow in Chapter 3
May 2, 2025
Black Myth: Wukong, Game Science’s 2024 action RPG, remains a 2025 favorite for its punishing bosses. Yellowbrow, Chapter 3’s electrified monk, is a mid-game wall on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. This guide details strategies to defeat him, optimizing your Destined One build for his lightning-fast staff combos and AoE shocks, ensuring you progress through the Journey to the West-inspired epic.
Equip the ‘Golden Staff’ with ‘Thrust Stance’ for heavy-hitting charged attacks, paired with ‘Monk’s Armor’ for lightning resistance. Slot ‘Immobilize’ spell to freeze Yellowbrow during his spin phase, and ‘Cloud Step’ for evasion. Prioritize Agility (20) and Stamina (15) stats. Use the ‘Willow Seed’ consumable to boost lightning defense. Focus on Yellowbrow’s legs for stagger, landing 3-4 heavy hits after Immobilize. Dodge his AoE thunderclaps by sprinting outward.
Yellowbrow’s fight has three phases. In phase one, bait his staff slams, then counter with Thrust Stance’s charged thrust for 300 damage. Phase two introduces lightning orbs; use Cloud Step to weave through, hitting his back. In phase three, his speed doubles—drink ‘Iron Skin’ gourd to tank hits, then spam light attacks. Avoid overusing Immobilize early, as it’s key for phase three’s frenzy. X posts with #BlackMythWukong share clips of perfect dodges, trending for style.
Reddit guides suggest practicing parries in Chapter 2’s training shrine to nail Yellowbrow’s telegraphed slams. Game Science’s May 2025 patch reduced his phase-three HP, easing the fight slightly. Stock ‘Spirit Orbs’ to revive once, as his thunderclaps can one-shot. Discord LFGs recommend co-op with a tanky ally to split aggro, letting you focus DPS. Some X users struggle with orb patterns, advising to hug walls for safer dodges.
Environmental cues help. Lure Yellowbrow to the arena’s broken pillars to limit his mobility, creating combo windows. This build maximizes stagger while mitigating lightning damage, crucial for Chapter 3’s endgame. Check Black Myth’s Discord for stance-switch tips and co-op partners to refine your timing. With this strategy, you’ll topple Yellowbrow, carving a path to Chapter 4’s mysteries. #GamingGuides #BlackMythWukong
