Towards the end of the chapter, Black Myth: Wukong players will have to fight a dangerous opponent to save the kingdom and obtain the fifth relic. This adversary is the Yaksha King. In this guide, players will learn how to beat the Yaksha King in Black Myth: Wukong.

Where To Find The Yaksha King In Black Myth: Wukong
To unlock this particular fight, Black Myth: Wukong players will need to reach the Fallen Furnace Crater Keeper's Shrine. From there, they need to go up until they reach an open area. Upon getting close, a cutscene will trigger, revealing the penultimate boss—Red Boy. He is by no means a weak opponent, and his fire attacks can char the Destined One's body in no time. Upon beating him, there will be another cutscene after which players will have to face the Yaksha King.
How To Beat The Yaksha King In Black Myth: Wukong
The Final boss Of Chapter 5 Is Quite Powerful
- Has A Wide Range Of Attacks
- More Dangerous At Close-Range
The Yaksha King is considerably stronger than the Red Boy. He is more agile, and his moveset is more diverse. The Yaksha King primarily fights using scythe-like blades. Players need to be careful whenever he increases their size and starts swinging them around. Whenever he starts to use this move, players need to dodge it. Due to their sheer size, trying to get out of range can be cumbersome. So, try to dodge towards him and make sure to get the timing right.
The Yaksha King will run on the nearby hill to jump in the air, and, upon landing, he will release multiple sharp objects from the ground. Whenever he starts running, it is your cue to go back as far as possible to avoid the damage.
If you try to maintain distance throughout the fight, the Yaksha King will start using long-range attacks. He can launch projectiles, and getting hit by them can cause hefty damage. Thankfully, players can evade these attacks easily.
As previously stated, players need to focus on dodging attacks to win the fight. Jump in, attack a few times, and then retreat. Players should also use 
Immobilize, 
A Pluck of Many, and any other spells that they may have to end the fight quickly. Upon beating the Yaksha King, players will unlock the sixth and final chapter of Black Myth: Wukong.
Make sure to equip the strongest weapon and armor available.
