Zapping Cyan Loong: A Shockingly Fun Guide for Black Myth: Wukong Players

Ah, the majestic Cyan Loong! Perched peacefully on its turtle throne in Black Myth: Wukong, this electric dragon looks like it's auditioning for a Zen meditation app—until you realize its fishing rod morphs into a lightning sword capable of frying monkeys extra-crispy. As one of four hidden yaoguai chiefs scattered across chapters, this shock-infused reptile blends scenic island vibes with enough voltage to power a small city. But fear not, brave Destined One! With some prep and dodging skills, you’ll turn this thunder lizard into glorified loot piñata. 😉

Step 1: Dragon Hunting Permits (aka Loong Scales)

Before even thinking about Turtle Island shenanigans, you’ll need VIP access—the mystical Loong Scales. Here’s the treasure hunt breakdown:

• 🔍 Chapter One Detour: Beat the Wandering Wight (that floppy ghost dude) to collect his spirit. Any time works—no rush!

• 💥 Wall Whacking: In Chapter Two’s Valley of Despair, defeat the First Prince of Flowing Sands, then spot the sus wall in his arena. Summon Wandering Wight’s spirit to Kaboom! it open.

• 🎁 Scale Snagging: Inside the secret passage? A shiny chest containing your dragon-hunting license!

Step 2: Turtle Island Tourism

With scales secured, sail to Chapter Three’s frosty New West region. But reaching Cyan Loong isn’t instant—you’ve got homework:

Milestone	What Happens	Pro Tip
Warding Temple	Rematch Macaque Chief	Parry his banana-stealing antics
Kang-Jin Star	Shock dragon boss battle	Stock up on healing gourds!
Sacred Gourmand	Pig deity rescue mission	Choose "Explore Turtle Island" dialogue

Post-Kang-Jin victory, the game literally shouts clues via shrine dialogue. Follow the turtle’s spine like a bony yellow brick road. Easy peasy!

Step 3: Pre-Fight Electrocution Prep

Cyan Loong doesn’t tickle—it zaps. Like, Tesla-coil-meets-angry-eel zaps. Before charging in:

• Resistance Rituals 💪:

• Visit Xu Dog in Crouching Tiger Temple’s cellar to dump Mind Cores into shock resistance

• Upgrade Four Banes Endurance skill tree (prioritize lightning icons!)

• Craft Shock-Quelling Powder—tastes awful, saves lives

• Gear Upgrades ⚡:

• Forge the Loongscale Battlerobe armor set (post-Kang-Jin reward)

• Wield the Kang-Jin Staff—yes, shock vs shock works!

• "> Pro Tip: Staff upgrades > fancy hairstyles for Wukong

Step 4: Dance of Thunder & Fur

Time to tango! Cyan Loong’s fight has two phases: "chill fisherman" and "Thor’s vengeful cousin". Strategy essentials:

• Opening Moves 🐒:

• Quaff Shock-Quelling Powder

• Cast A Pluck of Many—monkey clones = free distraction!

• DO NOT waste Immobilize or transformations yet!

• Phase Shift Perils ⚡:

• When dragon’s blade glows blue? DODGE OR DIE

• Lightning thrust attack = instant KO if hit

• Dive-bomb combo? Sidestep → light attack → retreat

• Killing Blow Setup 🎯:

• Save Wandering Wight spirit for stagger moments

• Use Immobilize when charged → unleash transformation finisher!

Step 5: Loot Galore!

Victory! Now raid that sparkly chest like a monkey on caffeine:

• Mountain-Shaking Claw → Future god-tier weapon material

• Loong Pearl → Shiny AF dragon core

• Fine Gold Thread → Crafting bling

Grab everything before meeting Gourmand at the turtle’s head. North Shore of Bitter Lake awaits—but hey, at least you’ve got shock-proof bragging rights! 🏆

FAQ: Crispy Monkey Concerns

❓ Can I fight Cyan Loong without Loong Scales?

Nope! Scales = dragon radar. Skip Chapter Two? Enjoy fishing alone forever.

❓ Is Kang-Jin Staff REALLY effective against shock boss?

Counterintuitive but true! Base damage trumps element mismatch. Just upgrade it!

❓ How many Shock-Quelling Powders should I carry?

At least 5. Or 10 if you enjoy playing "dodge the lightning" poorly.

❓ What if I accidentally advance with Gourmand first?

Reload checkpoint! Turtle Island exploration locks post-departure.

❓ Are the Loong Pearl rewards worth it?

Absolutely! Chapter Four’s legendary staff needs it. Future you says thanks 💎

❓ Why’s Cyan Loong so calm initially?

Probably contemplating why monkeys ruin everything. Zen until provoked!
