Black Myth: Wukong Has a lot of bosses for you to beat, including Kang-Jin, an opponent you face twice in their human and dragon forms. Both Kang-Jin Long and Kang-Jin Star are encountered in Chapter 3 as mandatory bosses that progress the story when defeated. Although they have similar attacks, you must be prepared for two different and challenging battles.
Kang-Jin Loong is one of the many Loong bosses in Black Myth: Wukong Who you meet first in Chapter 3. You won't face Kang-jin Star until later in the same Chapter, so the first fight should give you an idea of how to deal with the second. Despite their differences, both bosses have a variety of shared abilities that you can prepare for.
How to prepare for both Kang-jin bosses
