Get Started
Locating the Black Wind King
As part of the story's progress, you must go through the Black Wind Cave to encounter the Black Wind King. While getting to his lair you will traverse a passage that connects straight to his chamber. Before you enter the room where the boss is located, you will encounter a Keeper's Shrine, which allows you to heal and prepare before the fight.
Attack Patterns and Counters
It is essential to learn the Black Wind King's tactics and movements in order to survive and eventually win. Here are his nine key tactics with explanations of how to defend against them:
Jump and Double Spin
The Black Wind King leaps into the air and drives his spear down. After landing, he follows up with two spinning attacks. Dodge his first thrust, wait for the interval between the said spins, and strike quickly as he recovers from the spins.
Black Wind Transformation
In this attack, he turns into a gust of wind and walks around the arena, making himself invulnerable. Make sure to concentrate on dodging rather than attacking. You can create an Immobilize spell that strips him of his wind state.
Air Burst
Once he morphs back into the Black Wind, he blasts into the middle of the arena and causes a massive AoE attack. The trick here is to get back from the middle of the arena before he fills back up.
Six-Hit Combo
When the Black Wind King charges up his spear, that's your cue that he is starting to deploy a six-hit combo. The first two hits are fast in succession, yet there is still a brief pause between the second strike and the overhead, giving room for potential dodging time.
The final three hits come quickly, with the third strike being another overhead before sending in projectile attacks.
Vanishing and Spear Throw
At a few points in the battle, he will create an illusion of himself and then disappear, appearing at some unseen location after throwing the spear. Do not run through the spears; just wait for him to reappear.
Four-Hit Combo with Spear Vault
This attack starts with Black Wind King jumping into the air with his spear. While airborne, he casts damage in a wide area of effect. Keep a distance for most of this attack.
Fire Breath
When the Black Wind King waves his gourd, he will breathe fire. Dodge to the side as he makes a broad, sweeping motion in front of him, allowing you to attack him from behind.
Healing
During your fight against the boss, he will try to heal by drinking from his gourd. You can break this ability by attacking the boss while he is drinking.
Black Wind Rush
He comes in short bursts when Black Wind King appears in his black wind form. Be prepared to dodge in two quick movements to avoid getting hit.
Black Wind King's Weaknesses
While making many strong attacks, the Black Wind King has several notable weaknesses:
- Low Health
His health is below that of many other bosses in the game. Aggressive play pays off in the second half of the fight.- Weakness to Immobilize
The Immobilize spell can force him back into his natural form and away from the winds, leaving him vulnerable to further attacks.- Predictable Movement
After evolving his wind form, the Black Wind King always teleports to the center of the arena, allowing a heavy form of hit for distance.- Vulnerable During Healing
Attacking him when he's healing by drinking from his gourd is one of the most effective ways to deny him health.
Advanced Strategies for Victory
When attacking, close in quickly and transform into Red Tides to immediately set the Black Wind King on fire; this should yield significant damage from the start.
To survive his combos, it is important to perfect your dodges. You also want to learn how to time his attack, particularly the 6-hit combo and the Black Wind Rush, because timing those attacks will help you avoid unnecessary damage and create time to attack.
Use your Focus points to land heavy attacks when the Black Wind King gets staggered. Use those for the second phase of the fight, when the boss becomes more aggressive. Aggressive attacks are good, but don't overcommit. He moves fast; dodging makes you interrupt your combos. Focus on small bursts of attacks.

- 1,049 XP
