This legendary encounter is both a brutal skill check and an absolute spectacle, blending martial prowess, devastating transformations, and magical barrages. Whether you’re grinding through the Wukong storyline or aiming for a no-hit run against this iconic foe, this full-length walkthrough has all your winning tactics, gear picks, and pro secrets.

INTRO – ASCENDING TO THE TEMPLE

Erlang awaits atop the Divine Light Temple, accessible only after activating three celestial fire altars throughout the zone. The ascent is winding and treacherous, but make time to clear out side mobs—they won’t respawn after Erlang falls. Stock up on healing gourds, defense-boosting talismans, and bring plenty of magic-restoring elixirs. Spiritual resistance is a must, as Erlang’s attacks punish overconfidence and carelessness alike.

THE BOSS ARENA & INITIAL STRATEGY

The arena is a wide, circular dais encircled by ancient jade pillars. Lighting shimmers across the ground; stay aware of drop-offs at the edge. Erlang approaches from the far side, staff in hand, dog companion at his side. The opening cutscene is dramatic—watch for his crimson third eye, as it’s the secret to reading his most punishing combos.

PHASE ONE: SWORDMASTER ON THE DEFENSE

Erlang is a martial arts master with unparalleled reach and speed. His phase one strategy includes:

Multi-Strike Combo: Three to six rapid strikes, sometimes faked with a pause on the third attack. Best counter: block the first hit, roll into the third, then punish if he hesitates.
Divine Beam: Erlang’s third eye flashes, firing a hot beam linearly. Roll left or right as soon as you spot the glow; late dodges usually fail.
Hound Assist: The dog launches in with a mid-speed bite. If the hound is active, Erlang often chains in an overhead staff slam—but you can bait out both with a ranged spell.

Tips for survival: Maintain mid-range distance, never stand between him and the dog, and be ready to break lock-on if knocked back by the beam. Use immobilize and silence spells if you have them; these can temporarily neutralize the dog, buying you vital healing time.

PHASE TWO: DIVINE REVELATION

At about 55% HP, Erlang explodes with blue-white energy, growing even faster. The arena glimmers, and magic circles appear, marking the range of future divine spellcasts. Phase two mechanics include:

Mirrored Afterimages: Erlang splits into two, with the copy mirroring attacks after half a second’s delay. Target the real one—the copy always appears blurry at the edge.
Skyfall Smash: Erlang leaps, slamming the ground for an AOE shockwave. Double roll away from the center.
Arrow Storm: A barrage of spectral arrows rains across half the arena after a charge-up. Stand near the edge during the charge, then sprint in a wide arc as the volley begins.

Secondary advice: Keep mobile, bait afterimage out of position, and focus on short combos; the real Erlang will shimmer slightly before casting Skyfall or Arrow Storm. Save stun or break spells for after his spear transformation.

PHASE THREE: DIVINE SPEAR ASCENDANCE

At 20% HP, Erlang transforms his staff into the Divine Spear, gaining new reach and a brutal finishing arsenal:

Hundred Lance Flurry: A spinning chain of multiple forward thrusts; blocking is risky, but perfectly timed dodges let you get behind him for counterattacks.
Summon Lightning: The arena pulses with sigils, summoning lightning bolts in random pairs—watch the floor and move between flashes.
Dog Resurgence: The hound returns with glowing armor, making its tackles briefly unblockable. If you have an ally or spirit, use it for distraction now.

FINAL TACTICS & PRO SECRETS

Always keep a clear route to the arena edge; never let yourself be pinned by the spear combo.
Magic buffs like Wind Step or Fortitude work wonders for dodging and sustaining phase three pressure.
Save your highest burst damage spell for after Arrow Storm—Erlang is winded for a moment then.
Use terrain near the pillars for brief cover; lightning can’t strike behind them.

ULTIMATE REWARD

Emerging triumphant against Erlang, the Sacred Divinity, is a defining milestone in Black Myth: Wukong. You’ll earn Will, the Divine Lance weapon, and the Sacred Divinity Talisman, unlocking new skill trees and stat boosts. The fight is as much about reading rhythm and pattern as it is sheer reflexes—don’t give up until you see the final cutscene!
