As I stand before the crackling energy field guarding the Yellow Loong's lair, my palms sweat recalling the countless failed attempts against this apex predator of Black Myth: Wukong's hidden bosses. This lightning-wielding dragon isn't just another roadblock—it's the final exam in Game Science's brutal combat curriculum, demanding near-perfect execution and meticulous preparation. Defeating him requires conquering three previous Loongs, collecting their scales like dragon-slaying trophies, and navigating the treacherous Webbed Hollow where one misstep sends you plummeting into oblivion. Facing this foe without preparation is like bringing a toothpick to a thunderstorm—utterly futile.

🗺️ Locating the Thunder Emperor

After toppling Buddha's Right Hand near the Cliff of Oblivion Keeper's Shrine, cross the corpse-bridge and veer left at the fork. Traverse the rope bridge cautiously—

Cloud Step is essential here, transforming precarious planks into manageable platforms as Clawed Cocoons lurk like organic landmines. Follow the singular path until a spectral voice guides you to the Relief of the Fallen Keeper's Shrine. Activate this respawn point unless you fancy repeating this gauntlet.

⚡ Decoding the Dragon's Fury

Yellow Loong's combat style is a lightning ballet—brutally elegant yet punishing. His glaive dances with shocking precision:

Attack Pattern Description Counter Strategy
Piercing Thrust Quick lunge covering 10m Sidestep + light combo
Glaive Cyclone 360° spin with shockwaves Backstep → punish recovery
Thunder Descent Aerial dive with AoE blast Roll backward twice
Chain Lightning Consecutive floor strikes Circle strafe + Cloud Step

Remember: His grab attack after parries is an instant kill. Dodge, don't block!

⚔️ The Dance of Thunder

Phase 1 (100-70% HP): Bait his Piercing Thrust. Punish recovery windows with 3-hit combos. Stay mid-range to trigger manageable attacks—close proximity unleashes his devastating grab.

Phase 2 (<70% HP): He becomes a tempest of fury. When overwhelmed:
