Conquering the Webbed Hollow: A Guide to All Chapter 4 Bosses in Black Myth: Wukong

The journey through the Webbed Hollow in Black Myth: Wukong is a descent into a realm of tangled roots, hidden dangers, and formidable guardians. Chapter 4, a pivotal turning point in the Destined One's saga, presents a sprawling landscape teeming with eighteen distinct boss encounters. From the initial skirmishes with Yaoguai Chiefs to the climactic battles against ancient Yaoguai Kings hidden in secret mountain peaks, this chapter demands thorough exploration and unwavering combat prowess. Many of these formidable foes are concealed behind environmental puzzles or tucked away in optional paths, making a comprehensive guide not just helpful, but essential for those seeking to master this treacherous domain.

The adventure begins in the Zhu Estate, where the first challenge awaits. The Second Sister, a Yaoguai Chief, is an unmissable encounter in the courtyard near the Estate's Keeper's Shrine. While her arachnid form may unsettle some, the fight is mercifully straightforward, especially with the assistance of the ever-reliable Zhu Bajie. She staggers easily, setting a deceptively simple tone for the trials to come.

Venturing deeper, the path splits. One leads to the Elder Amourworm, a larger, more armored cousin of the worms encountered earlier. Found in a secluded corner of the Verdure Bridge area, this boss telegraphs its attacks clearly, rewarding patient observation and well-timed dodges. Its defeat yields the Proto-Amourworm, a key item for spirit acquisition. The other path diverges towards the Pool of Shattered Jade, where the slippery Venom Daoist makes his first appearance, trapped within an Odd Cocoon. This agile, multi-armed foe is a glass cannon; spells like Rock Solid or Immobilize can effectively disrupt his flips and strikes, forcing him to retreat and plot his return.

The central hollows house more grotesque guardians. The Centipede Guai resides in a giant, bone-strewn arena, accessible from multiple shrines. Focusing attacks on its rear legs while circling to avoid frontal assaults is the key to victory. Further along, a curious and eerie encounter awaits at the Cliff of Oblivion: The Buddha's Right Hand. This monstrous limb emerges from a corridor, and the fight becomes a battle of positioning. Immobilize is invaluable here, especially when it reveals a more horrific form mid-fight, coating the arena in poisonous tar.

However, the true test of a prepared pilgrim is the secretive and immensely powerful Yellow Loong. This boss is not merely found; it is earned. Unlocking it requires the Loong Scale from Chapter 2 and the defeat of all previous Loong bosses. Its lair, the Relief of the Fallen Loong, is reached via a perilous series of narrow bridges past the Cliff of Oblivion, bypassing deadly Clawed Cocoons. The Yellow Loong itself is a force of nature, hitting with devastating power and speed. Success demands mastery of its patterns, with Immobilize and the Yin Tiger's Ebon Flow Transformation being crucial tools for creating openings in its relentless assault. The rewards, including the Golden Carp curio, match the effort.

Boss Type	Count in Chapter 4	Notable Examples
Yaoguai Kings	5	Violet Spider, Hundred-Eyed Daoist Master, Duskveil
Yaoguai Chiefs	Multiple	Second Sister, Elder Amourworm, Centipede Guai
Story Bosses	2	Zhu Bajie (both encounters)
Secret Bosses	Several	Yellow Loong, Supreme Inspector, Scorpionlord

Back on the primary trail, the journey continues with the grotesque toad, Baw-Li-Guhh-Baw, in the flooded caves of the Lower Hollow, and then takes a dramatic, emotional turn. The Destined One's companion, Zhu Bajie, becomes a foe not once, but twice. The first clash at the Hut of Immortality is a manageable, if sorrowful, bout against a mind-addled friend. The second, in a muddy arena shortly after, escalates dramatically as Zhu Bajie transforms into a giant black boar, requiring careful mana management and quick reflexes to survive his charging attacks.

The climax of the Webbed Hollow narrative is the battle against the Violet Spider, the ancient matriarch. Reached through a linear path after Zhu Bajie, this Yaoguai Queen employs sticky webbing to hinder movement, but a well-timed Antimiasma Powder and familiar combat strategies see her defeated. Her fall opens the path to the Temple of Yellow Flowers, where new challenges await, starting with the Commander Beetle, a Yaoguai Chief guarded by Daoist minions that should be dispatched quickly.

A unique and easily missed encounter is with the Supreme Inspector. This secret boss is summoned only if the Destined One collects all four purple Talismans hidden on stone monuments throughout the chapter before facing the final boss. The locations are:

• Near the Verdure Bridge village

• In the pool by the Cliff of Oblivion Shrine

• Opposite the Yellow Loong's arena

• In the Court of Illumination (left path)

Collecting the final one triggers a brief, scripted fight that rewards a Stamina-boosting Celestial Nonary Pill. The chapter's official finale is against the Hundred-Eyed Daoist Master, a Yaoguai King of immense power waiting at the Court of Illumination. The first attempt is aided by spider allies, but subsequent tries are a pure one-on-one duel. The real challenge begins in the second phase, where maximum Stamina is halved and sweeping lightning attacks dominate the arena. Holding nerve and dodging through his charged attacks is the path to victory.

Yet, for the truly thorough, Chapter 4 holds more. Turning right at the Court of Illumination fork leads to the Fungiwoman, a deceptive plant-creature that packs a surprising punch. Further down that path, a left turn leads to a cave and a rematch with the Venom Daoist. This second bout introduces a dangerous second phase where he moves with blinding speed, demanding perfect dodge timing.

Defeating the Venom Daoist a second time unlocks the secret region of Purple Cloud Mountain via a tapestry in his arena. Here lies perhaps the chapter's ultimate challenge: the Scorpionlord. Lounging on a rooftop beyond the Bounds of Deity's Abode Shrine, this optional boss is a nightmare of aggression and poison damage. Cloud Step becomes a lifeline against his relentless tail strikes, and victory here is a hard-earned badge of honor, rewarding the player with a powerful Gourd. The mountain also houses the treacherous Daoist Mi and the region's final boss, The Duskveil. This Yaoguai King's second phase is a spectacle of darkness and deadly projectile attacks that can fell the unprepared in an instant, but overcoming it grants the powerful third Vessel. From the first spider to the final dusk, Chapter 4 is a gauntlet that forges the Destined One into a true legend. 🐒⚔️
