In Black Myth: Wukong, players will gain access to The New West region upon reaching Chapter 3. As with previous chapters, this new area will introduce new quests, meditation spots, bosses, and distinctive key items.
The New West offers three types of Celestial Pills that have different effects on Mana, Health, or Stamina. These pills can be obtained towards the end of the chapter. The following is a list of the available Celestial Pills in The New West:
- Jade Lotus Pill
- Taiyi Pill
- Nonary Pill
Jade Lotus Pill
Effect: Increases maximum Health
Right after departing from Pagado Realm, proceed to the Warding Temple. Descend the snowy slope to initiate your battle with Kang-Jin Star.
Once the battle has concluded, visit the Turtle Island Keeper’s Shrine and proceed to the left towards the cliff. Descend twice to reach a pathway and follow it until you come across the Jade Lotus Pill.
Strategies for Defeating Kang-Jin Star
Kang-Jin Star has the ability to transform into a white dragon, and excels in lightning-based attacks. She possesses equal skill and talent in both her human and dragon forms.
During the initial stages of the battle, Kang-Jin will release small bolts of lightning by swinging her arms. This attack can be evaded by simply moving to either side.
In addition, she will use sweeping arm movements to unleash rapid bursts of lightning. You can avoid her attacks by either moving backwards or to either side.
Afterwards, Kang-Jin will reveal a radiant lightning orb. This move has a large range, so it is advisable to step back in order to avoid being caught in the area of effect.
During the second stage of the battle, Kang-Jin will undergo a transformation into a ferocious dragon. In this state, she possesses the ability to release numerous bolts of lightning simultaneously or
She could either activate lightning strikes or use her body to strike the ground, causing shockwaves to ripple through the earth.
The majority of this battle involves evading attacks due to Kang-Jin’s speed. However, the crucial factor is to accurately time your moves and seize opportunities to counterattack.
What is the Taiyi Pill?
Effect: Increases maximum Mana
After reaching the end of the Pagado Realm, you will encounter Captain Wise-Voice and must engage in battle. Upon defeating him, continue along the path that will lead you to a cave.
Continue until you come across a wooden fence to your right. Inside a golden container placed by the fence, you should find the Taiyi Pill.
Tips for Defeating Captain Wise-Voice
To prepare for a potential lightning attack during the fight, make sure to equip Shock-Quelling Powder as Captain Wise-Voice is a lightning user. This will protect you in case you are struck by lightning. Additionally, you can trade Mind Cores to increase your Shock Resistance.
The Captain’s initial approach will involve physical aggression, such as attempting to ram you, crush you with its large head, or stomp on you. Instead of focusing on its head, direct your attacks towards its feet to divert its attention.
Whenever an opportunity arises, execute a powerful attack with either Smash or Thrust Stance. This will inflict damage to the Captain’s legs, resulting in his collapse. Follow up with another heavy attack, this time aiming for his head. This should be sufficient to initiate its second phase.
The boss is beginning to incorporate lightning attacks into his strategy. By harnessing his energy, he will unleash powerful shockwaves. If the attacks become overwhelming, simply prioritize moving out of range.
The Captain will activate the entire floor, causing it to turn red. Transition to the Pillar Stance and keep the heavy attack button pressed to balance on your staff. As long as your feet are not touching the ground, you will remain safe from danger.
After this attack, the boss will require a short period of time to recharge. Therefore, continue targeting its legs with heavy attacks. Additionally, utilizing Wind Tamer can provide a slight advantage. Once you successfully topple the boss once more, focus on delivering blows to its head.
Nonary Pill
Effect: Increases maximum Stamina
Begin at the New Thunderclap Temple. Proceed from the initial Keeper’s Shrine to the building directly ahead and descend the stairs on the right. Make your way to the adjacent building and climb the stairs to the second floor. Depart through the upper door and locate another set of stairs. Ascend until you reach the Side Hall, where your battle against the Non-Void boss will commence.
Upon successfully defeating the boss, proceed to the right of the staircase to find a golden box containing the Nonary Pill located in the middle of the frozen waterfall.
Strategies for defeating Non-Void
Non-Void relies solely on his mastery of spells in combat and does not wield any weapons. His skill in spellcasting makes him a formidable adversary, possibly even the most challenging non-Yaoguai boss you will encounter.
His mastery of invisibility spells makes it challenging to determine his whereabouts. All you can make out is his silhouette. He is also known to utilize the scattered pages in the room to conjure a powerful vortex. Be sure to dodge right before the whirlwind engulfs you, or else you will face the painful consequences of countless paper-cuts.
Begin by utilizing A Pluck of Many in the initial stages to maximize your damage output. As the boss is preoccupied with the clones, continue with Quick Attack Combos. Afterwards, you have the option to either use the Wandering Sight Spirit attack or Transformation.
When the boss’s health is low, continue to execute quick strikes. It is essential to consistently attack to prevent the boss from regaining health.
After defeating Non-Void, you will have the ability to absorb its spirit.
