Scorpionlord is yet another rather difficult optional boss in Black Myth Wukong game. Not only does this foe have some exclusive close range attacks, but he has poison which constantly whittles down the Destined One’s HP.

Strategy guidelines that help to overthrow the Scorpionlord in Black Myth Wukong 

Scorpionlord is one of the three bosses you can encounter in this game that belongs to the chapter number four – The Webbed Hollow – the place is called Purple Cloud Mountain, and it is secret. To find the Purple Cloud Mountain, there is some preparation: first, complete the Venom Daoist’s story and defeat him two times. When you get to Purple Cloud Mountian, you’ll find the boss of the area right by the east side of the mountain.

Do not provoke the Duskveil to come out for the fight because if you do so then there is no way that you will be able to fight the Scorpionlord. After you have met Scorpionlord himself, he will not attack you right away as it may seem. He will instead tell you to leave his property and never to approach him again.The adverse outcomes of the non-judicial divorce include; 

But if you decide to skip these instructions and remain close to his property, he becomes angry and begins to attack you. Finally, the Scorpionlord takes part in the game, like his name implies he fights with Poison. In addition, the Scorpionlord is very mobile, especially for his size, and also gets combos that could potentially ‘oneshot’; you. 

But there is an easy way to defeat the Scorpionlord in Black Myth Wukong. Here are some tips that should help you beat the Scorpionlord:Here are some tips that should help you beat the Scorpionlord: 

The Scorpionlord is rather vulnerable to Burn damage, so if you haven’t been to Purple Cloud Mountain, I strongly advise you to visit it after Chapter 5 (Flaming Mountain). Like that, you will gain an access to the Staff of Blazing Karma – the weapon that performs Burn damage with Advanced Charge skill. 

The Purple Cloud Mountain and the Scorpionlord should be attempted at Level 80 or above, to make the fight easier. Like this way one will have sufficient points for upgrading in the Foundation skills the Four Banes Resistance talent. 
Getting extra Four Banes Resistance is rather useful in Poison accumulation and any other elements as well. 
For the Stance use the Smash Stance or the Thrust Stance because Pillar Stance is virtually useless against the boss. 

Your main care will be to do perfect dodges also Focus building up. Most of the damages are originated from the charged-heavy attacks and the mix-ups attacks. Also, remember the Stamina meter and do not abuse dodging at the Scorpionlord’s presence. 

There are two attacks for which you should watch out.

  • The first one is tail whip where the Scorpionlord will make a step back before charging at you headlong with its tail swinging in front of it.
  • The second attack is a spin of death that the boss combines with either a claw grab or with his tail spike. 

Perfect Dodge is the most useful countermeasure against these action. However, in case you are not very good at timing your dodge move then you can simply tank these attacks using a Transformation. If so, you may run from the boss and roll towards him if he’s almost done with his combo, so that you won’t be hit at all. 
Finally, in places where you find that you cannot dodge, make sure you use Immobilize and Cloud Step. A Pluck of Many is not very useful here since almost all of Scorpionlord’s attacks can dispose of all of the clones. 

Defeating the Scorpionlord rewards you with a Mind Core, Sky-Piercing Horn crafting material, as well as the Stained Jade Gourd, which comes with the passive perk of increased healing speed. Although Scorpionlord is technically an optional encounter, it's still one of the most mechanically engaging bosses in Black Myth Wukong
