Tactical Strategy for Conquering Yellow Loong

Yellow Loong is widely considered one of the most punishing encounters in Black Myth: Wukong. When he takes to the air during his lightning charge phase, never attempt to roll forward. Instead, execute continuous backward dodges to avoid his three-hit diving slash chain.

Furthermore, use Pillar Stance to elevate above his ground sweep attacks and strike down with heavy charged finishers when he pauses to gather Ki.
