In the latest update to Black Myth: Wukong, players have been buzzing about a certain drunken boar with a penchant for treasure hunting. This Yellow-Robed Squire isn't just there for comic relief—he's your ticket to the mysterious Kingdom of Sahali, where a massive scarab Yaoguai named Fuban awaits those brave enough to challenge him. And trust us, this big boy is worth taking down for his sweet, sweet loot.

The Road to Sahali

So you're minding your business, traversing through Chapter 2, when you encounter a boar who's clearly had a few too many. Don't dismiss him as just another NPC with slurred speech! This inebriated fellow will send you on a quest to find the 'Realm of Gold,' which eventually leads to the Kingdom of Sahali—a hidden area that's been keeping players up at night since the game's latest expansion dropped in early 2025.

The Kingdom isn't just a pretty place to take screenshots (though it absolutely is); it's home to Fuban, a massive scarab that looks like he bench presses mountains for fun. But don't let his size fool you—this fight is actually more about patience than perfect reflexes.

Facing the Behemoth

When you first enter Fuban's arena, you might feel a momentary panic. After all, he's roughly the size of a public transit bus. But here's the thing about Fuban—he's big, but he's also predictable. Kind of like that one friend who always orders the same thing at restaurants despite claiming they're 'adventurous eaters.'

The battle begins with Fuban pulling a disappearing act, burrowing underground like he's late for a subway ride. When he resurfaces, he'll jump high enough to make Olympic athletes jealous before trying to pancake you with his body. The key here? Timing your dodge just right. Miss it, and you'll be flatter than yesterday's soda.

After his landing, Fuban takes a breather—probably regretting his life choices—giving you a golden opportunity to attack. Focus on his claws, which are basically his weak points (every giant bug has them, apparently).

Pro tip: Use the Thrust Stance for some long-range heavy attacks. While Fuban doesn't move much during this phase, he will shake his head like he's at a heavy metal concert, so keep your guard up for any surprise attacks.

Underground Swimming Championships

Once you've knocked off about a third of Fuban's health, he'll decide that above-ground combat is so last season and retreat underground. Now he's swimming through sand like it's water, which is both impressive and terrifying. Keep your eyes peeled on his movements—he's not playing hide and seek; he's playing hide and impale.

Fuban's next attack will come from beneath the sand with his horn, which can catch even veteran players off guard. The Pillar Stance is your best friend here, elevating you above the sand and keeping your character's toes from becoming scarab snacks.

Eventually, Fuban will emerge again for round two, launching a series of leap attacks that would make a kangaroo envious. But just when you think you're in for a world of hurt, the Yellow Wind Sage crashes the party by banging his drums, stunning Fuban long enough for you to climb onto its back and snag the Vessel.

Tag Team Takedown

With the Yellow Wind Sage fighting alongside you (talk about a clutch teammate!), the tide of battle turns dramatically. The Sage can unleash wind attacks powerful enough to knock Fuban to the ground, giving you prime opportunities to deal damage.

Together, you and your new drummer buddy can finally take down this oversized beetle for good. It's like a buddy cop movie, except one of you is a mythical sage and the other is... well, a monkey king.

The Sweet, Sweet Rewards

Defeating Fuban isn't just about bragging rights (though those are nice too). You'll walk away with a hefty chunk of XP and some game-changing items:

1. The Wind Tamer's Vessel - This beauty makes you immune to wind attacks and gives you a massive damage reduction buff. In a game where everything tries to kill you, this is like finding a golden ticket.

2. The Sky Piercing Horn - A unique crafting material needed to create the Adept Spine-Shooting Fuban Staff, which has quickly become a fan favorite weapon since the latest update.

Here's a quick breakdown of the staff's stats for the min-maxers out there:

Stat	Value
Attack	120
Range	High
Special Effect	Chance to pierce enemy defenses
Style Points	Off the charts

Worth the Effort?

So, is taking a detour to find a drunk boar, locate a hidden kingdom, and battle a giant scarab worth it? Absolutely. The rewards from defeating Fuban can significantly improve your chances of survival in the later chapters, especially with the game's difficulty spike in the recently released Chapter 4.

And let's be honest—there's something deeply satisfying about taking down an optional boss that many players might miss. It's like being part of a secret club, except the membership card is a staff made from bug parts. 🪲

As players continue to explore the ever-expanding world of Black Myth: Wukong in 2025, encounters like Fuban remind us why this game has captured our collective imagination. Sometimes the most rewarding experiences are found off the beaten path, guided by nothing more than the directions of a drunken boar with dreams of gold. And isn't that what gaming is all about?

Just remember to dodge when he jumps. Seriously. No one wants to be a monkey pancake. 🐒
