You’ve already faced a series of bosses in Chapter 1, but this spear-wielding foe is even more difficult to take on because he also has two distinct phases. In addition to a full health bar for each, you’re going to have to be even more frugal with the limited resources you currently have in this first part of Black Myth: Wukong if you want to survive.
Here we will provide you with all the information you need about How to Beat Whiteclad Noble in Black Myth: Wukong.

How to Prepare for Whiteclad Noble in Black Myth Wukong
You will fight Whiteclad Noble in Bamboo forestthe nearest sanctuary called White Mist Swampprobably in reference to the area where you actually fight him in Black Myth: Wukong.
It’s also near this location that you’ll encounter an NPC called Shen Monkey, who can help you upgrade your gourd and drinks. If you obtained a Luojia Fragrant Vine earlier, you’ll be able to upgrade your Old Gourd, allowing you to consume it five times to recover HP. If you obtained an Awakening Wine Worm, you’ll also be able to upgrade the drink to recover more HP when you take a sip.
Don’t forget to spend spark points on self-improvement of your skills and abilities. Pillar position is also effective in this fight, so consider upgrading that stance as well, or the Immobilize
How to beat the White-robed Noble in Black Myth Wukong
Whiteclad Noble fights with a spear in Black Myth: Wukong, which gives him a reach advantage. He can also reduce the distance with a charge thrust either on the ground, jumping into the air followed by a landing thrust, or spinning around while jumping onto the water before doing a jump thrust.
He can also throw this spear towards you, which he usually does by jumping into the air first, and he has some sort of force power that allows him to instantly recover it. He is also able to use it to unleash waves of water-based projectiles
You can also use your own ranged attacks. With the Pillar positionnot only do you position yourself atop your staff to avoid his ground attacks, but the fall attack that follows has decent range that should be able to catch him on your way down.
Whiteclad Noble’s tactics can vary, as he can either jump back along the swamp to keep his distance or simply circle you slowly while watching, waiting for you to make his move. Don’t be complacent though, as he has a few Fast acrobatic combos He has some water jets up his sleeve that act as a distraction, but they’re also a good indicator of when you should back off. He will, however, try to close the distance by using his spear to launch himself at you, such as by planting it in the ground and then swinging it like a catapult, while swinging his spear at you. If this somehow misses, he’ll jump around you and come back for another hit. All of these can be dodged with the right timing – the key is to watch and anticipate his movements before dodging.
He also has a AOE attack that he will charge for a good second before using his spear to whip the water around him and damage anyone nearby. You can tell he is about to do this if he stands still while holding his spear in the water, a signal for you to back away.
Her the health bar is fortunately not too bigand if you land a powerful attack or the final hit of your combo, you can see substantial damage. Immobilize is also useful if you struggle with some of his quick combos, which can also allow you to get a full combo against him. However, you should also use your mana sparingly as well as your healing canteens, as this is only the first phase of the fight. At most, you should Only use Immobilize once in an emergencyalthough considering its cooling time, this is not unreasonable.
After depleting the White-Clad Noble’s health bar, a cutscene will play and he will reveal his true snake form that he was hiding underwater. He is now not only faster and more slippery with his attacks, but he also has a brand new health barSo it’s time to start all over again.
Her The attack patterns are largely similar to the previous phase but for example the water projectiles he throws at you with his spear are actually aimed at you, albeit less numerous, than when he threw them randomly. He still has his jump and then downward charge with his spear, although now it’s his snake body that lifts him into the air.
Overall, he’s just more aggressive with his heavy and charged attacks, and while they’re advertised, they hit hard with an absurdly long range, so you have to try to time them well to dodge them. They’re still mostly ground attacks, so adopting the pillar stance means you can dodge them. If he does crash into you, the worst part is that he’ll knock you off your staff but you won’t take any damage.
Immobilization is another strategy against these attacks, and if you’ve upgraded this spell to ensure you deal more damage, this is better than simply freezing him while he’s still. Just make sure to land a heavy attack or finish a combo, in order to also cancel his attack to ensure you don’t get caught by him once the spell is over. Of course, the relatively long cooldown and limited mana mean you can only rely on this a few times.
This can be a bit frustrating at this early stage with limited resources, but if you can manage to complete the first phase without using your Gourd or magic, you’ll have a better advantage with the White-Clad Noble’s second phase. Since you already have two people to take down a second health bar, he at least won’t offer you any more nasty tricks towards the end.

As he disappears into the ether, he will also mention something about three bells, hinting at three secret bells that you can find and ring in this area if you want to find a secret boss that will also help you face an upcoming boss. This is a quest that we highly recommend following. After all, everything will be useful, as the journey of Black Myth: Wukong only gets harder!
