How To Find Cyan Loong In Black Myth: Wukong
The first step to finding Cyan Loong is obtaining the Loong Scales Key Item located in the Valley of Despair in Yellow Wind Ridge. After defeating the First Prince of the Flowing Sands, you can break the nearby decorated wall using the 
Wandering Wight Spirit. Head through the crack in the wall, and you can open the chest to acquire the Key Item.
After you have obtained the item, progress in the story till you reach past the Warding Temple and defeat Kang-Jin Star. From the Turtle Island Keeper's Shrine, head right and drop down to initiate a cutscene with the Cyan Loong.

How To Beat Cyan Loong In Black Myth: Wukong
Cyan Loong does not have a vast attack pool, so players will only need to understand the dodge timings of a few attacks, and they can beat this boss quickly. As the fight begins, if you are close to the boss, he will do his two-hit weapon combo or the two-handed verticle strike. Staying behind the boss causes him to attack you with his tail, which should be easy to dodge to either side. If you keep your distance from the boss, he will fly up and move towards you with a rotating strike, followed by another strike as he lands on the ground. This attack is how you will beat with ease. The timings of these attacks can be a bit difficult to understand at first because they are delayed.
An important thing to remember is that a second strike when he is in the air is not a slam. He will come towards you and strike, so do not dodge early; he will punish you for that.
When the boss finishes his air combo, and you successfully dodge them, you can get multiple hits before his next attack. However, be sure to be ready to dodge as he can throw a lightning ball at the ground, which deals impact damage and again after a short period. After losing 33% of his health, he will coat his blade with electricity, and his attacks will now inflict the Shock Bane effect. As he is coating, you can start to get some distance between the boss because he finishes this animation by planting his sword on the ground and causing a small shockwave.
After losing another 33% of his health, the boss will coat his blade again. However, this time, he will have a new three-hit combo, starting with him flying to strike you and finishing it with a lightning ball.
