How to prepare for black long
Be ready for lightning attacks and shock
Like some other long bosses, black long Uses lightning attacks that cause shock status Against you. The shock condition Causes you to take more damage from attacksSo you never want to be affected by this if you can help it.
You will want to upgrade your gourd in Black Myth: Wukong To have ways to cure shock if Black Long inflicts it on you. The drinks and soaks you apply to your gourd can be adjusted to cure status conditions, but sometimes at the sacrifice of less overall health restoration. Alternatively, you can also use Shock Quelling Powder to eliminate Shock if it is ever applied.
Shock Quelling Powder can be bought in the Bitter Lake Precept Corridor shop for 180 will each, so if you have the currency to spend, pick up a few of the Eliminating Medicines.
Try to Take down optional bosses For extra wishes and spirit transformations that could be useful for the Black Long fight. Turning into a former enemy allows you to protect your regular health, as damage in a transformation only reduces how long your shape-shifting lasts. The will you gain can be used to craft better equipment to boost your overall defense or attacking power needed to rival Black Long’s.

How to defeat Black Long
Dodge AoE attacks at all times
Despite the physically intimidating presence of Black Long, the real danger comes from the Bursts of AoE lightning created by the host’s two masses. Imbued with thunder, the masses often hit the ground and create huge rings of elemental damage that travel from the host. The rings are scattered throughout the boss arena and can be challenging to avoid if you do Just dodge each attack.
As you can see in the above video by YouTube creator PowerPyxYou want to Stay aggressive Over the fight. Black Long doesn’t have much health, but his attacks do a ton of damage if they hit you directly. Try to Summon clones or spirit allies To help raise the damage or stun you can build quickly as you fight.

Attack |
Description |
How to compete |
|
Hammer strike |
Black Long slams one of his maces into the ground, creating a ring of lightning that travels in a ring across the arena. |
Get behind the boss to avoid being hit with a dodge. Then, dodge the ring of electricity as it comes close to you. |
|
Blitz War Cry |
Raising his arms, Black Long clashed his maces together three times, creating a large AoE of lighting each time his weapons hit each other. |
The AoE from each time the mobs hit each other only occurs in front of the boss, so get behind it to avoid this attack. |
|
Electric war drums |
Black Lung gathers electricity in a roar before slamming his hammers into the ground six to seven times. Each time, it creates a large AoE ring of lightning that travels throughout the entire arena. |
Jump on one of the rocks in the arena to get above the attack, and hit back when the boss recovers. |
The boss will use its Electric War Drums attack twice, once when it loses about 33% of its health and again when it loses about 66%. This move is perhaps the deadliest in Black Long’s arsenal, as each ring it creates is close to one another and extremely difficult to dodge in sequence. Black Long will perform a final, larger slam after this attack, so be ready to dodge with slightly delayed timing.
