The journey through Black Myth: Wukong's third chapter introduces players to four formidable 'Non' disciples of the primary antagonist Yellowbrow. While only one confrontation is mandatory, battling the others unlocks valuable rewards. Non-Pure stands as the final optional challenge before facing Yellowbrow himself—a satisfying combat puzzle demanding precise execution rather than brute force. Players find this towering adversary tests their mastery of dodging, spell timing, and transformation tactics in equal measure.

Locating the Temple Guardian

Before ascending the staircase guarded by flame-headed monks toward Yellowbrow's sanctum, veer right into an ornate temple. Though accessible early, wise players unlock the Mahavira Hall shrine first—saving tedious backtracking upon defeat. This checkpoint sits conveniently outside Yellowbrow's domain, creating a strategic pivot point between exploration and boss battles.

Decoding Non-Pure's Combat Patterns

Non-Pure overwhelms with relentless staff sweeps and unexpected parries. His aggression demands constant spatial awareness. Key attacks include:

Attack Description Countermeasure
Thrust & Sweep Linear thrust followed by delayed circular staff swing Dodge laterally, then time second evasion when he regrips weapon
Parrying Hand Glowing hand deflects light attacks then counters Use charged heavy strikes to stagger him
5-Slash Combo Rapid consecutive slashes culminating in jump attack Repeated dodges or Immobilize spell
Ground Smash Staff plunged earthward after aerial ascent Evade upon descent animation
Palm Burst Unpredictable qi blast from open palm Maintain medium distance during offensive phases

⚠️ Critical Insight: His parry mechanic makes light attacks dangerous—heavy smashes bypass this defense entirely.

Battle-Tested Victory Tactics

Three approaches dominate successful Non-Pure encounters:

  1. Spell Synergy: Combine Rock Solid's damage reduction with Immobilize's lockdown during combos

  2. Red Tides Transformation: Inflict burn via Guanghzi, then unleash interrupted light attacks while he's staggered

  3. Dodge Economy: Forward-roll through sweeps to backstab—his turning speed creates vulnerability windows

❗ Avoid A Pluck of Many—wasteful mana cost and easily destroyed clones.

Triumphant Spoils of War

Victory showers players with:
