⚔ Preface: When I met Erlang Shen
After successfully completing the four hidden maps of Old Guanyin Zen Temple, Ziyun Mountain, Shahari Kingdom, and Bishui Cave, and completing the Maitreya Buddha branch, you can talk to Maitreya Buddha in the pagoda, and then open the hidden map and find Erlang Shen. I know that this game will let me fight against the gods sooner or later, but when the "silver armor, green face, three eyes, and wind-riding" Erlang Shen slowly walked out in the "Black Myth: Wukong" trial demo, I really realized: This is not fighting monsters, this is challenging the power of God.
His opening remarks were domineering: "Are you also qualified to talk about enlightenment?"
I was silent on the spot, and my heartbeat accelerated.

👁 Boss Profile: This is the oppressive feeling that a "divine general" should have
Name: Yang Jian / Erlang Shen
Weapon: Three-pointed double-edged sword
Skill type: Swordsmanship + Spells + Summoning Roaring Sky Dog
Fighting style: Extremely oppressive, fast-paced, seamless skills, and extremely high desire to attack
He is not the kind of boss who relies on special effects to stack up big moves, but every knife is accurate, fierce, and steady. Fighting with him is like competing with a god of war who has practiced for thousands of years. One wrong step will lead to a complete loss.
🗺 Preparation before the battle
Recommended skills:

Battle dismantling
💥 Phase 1: Three-pointed knife technique + quick assault
Attack method:
Horizontal slash + straight stab: Quick combo, with obvious rhythm but extremely high punishment;
Aerial spin slash: Smash down after floating in the air, with AOE judgment;
Instant body rush: Hit you in the face without any warning.
🧠 Countermeasures:
Observe his shoulder movement for a knife signal, roll to the outside instead of backwards;
Use fire or ice magic to interfere at a distance, and the avatar can be used to block the view to steal damage;
Don't take the initiative to be greedy, leave immediately after the fight!
💥 The second stage: Divine Axe Bombardment + Red Thunder Field
Attack method:
Giant Axe Falling: Charge to summon the Divine Axe to smash the ground, with a large range and knockback;
Red Thunder Spreading: Red thunder appears on the ground after the fall, and it continues to track and cause damage.
🧠 Countermeasures:
See Erlang Shen raise his hand to charge, and immediately roll to the side to avoid the axe attack;
Jump to avoid the red thunder, attack with a light stick while the red thunder refreshes, and turn into a stone man in time to break the posture.

💥 The third stage: Divine Eye Sweeping + Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin
Attack method:
Divine Eye Ray: Shoot out tracking rays from the Divine Eye, continuously causing high damage;
Ten Thousand Swords Raining: The sky summons countless flying swords, covering and falling in a fan-shaped manner.
🧠 Countermeasures:
Keep the longest distance, and roll irregularly and continuously to avoid the divine eye rays;
Observe the landing point of the flying sword in advance, and use the terrain cover to move to avoid the ten thousand swords;
When the skill cools down, turn into a stone man to output close to the enemy, and then use combos after breaking the posture.
🎯 Summary of small skills
1. Roaring Sky Dog does not have to be killed, you can use a clone to attract it and contain it (saving effort)
2. The Sky Eye glows → releases the laser after 1 second → don't roll too early
3. After a round, immediately pull away to replenish the blue, don't be greedy
🏆 After defeating Erlang Shen...
The moment I defeated him, he stood on the ground, still staring at me unyieldingly and said: "It's worth a fight."

Loot (estimated):
Erlang Shen's Seal (advanced spell unlocking prop);
Sky Eye Spiritual Awareness (may unlock the third type of perception skills);
Roaring Sky Dog Soul Shadow (summoning spell?);
