The whole of Mount Huogao is filled with bosses such as Poison Chiefs that, when defeated, drop crafting materials needed to craft or upgrade armor. As players want to acquire the best endgame armor to be ready for the difficult challenges, they must acquire the Mythical Armor, which is accessible through specific boss fights.
Players must defeat four major bosses in the Foothills to acquire parts of Sun Wukong's Armor. One of these bosses is the Cloudtreading Deer, a Yaoguai Chief found near Deer Sight Forest in the sixth chapter of Black Myth: Wukong.
Black Myth: Wukong - All Poison Chief Boss Locations
Multiple bosses of the same name can be found in the sixth chapter of Black Myth: Wukong. Here is how to find them all.
How To Find Cloudtreading Deer
From the Verdant Path Keeper's Shrine, players must first head to the Golden Rhino Boss arena. From the Rhino Watch Slope Keeper's Shrine, mount your Somersault Cloud and ride towards the red trees in the distance. As you approach these trees, you will find the Deer Sight Forest Keeper's Shrine. Interact with the Shrine and head past it towards the giant tree to trigger a cutscene for the boss fight with the Cloudtreading Deer.
How To Beat Cloudtreading Deer In Black Myth: Wukong
Firstly, you must bring Curios and Pills that increase your Chill and Poison Resistance. As the fight starts, you can utilize your 
Immobilize to dish out a small amount of damage and get the boss down to 70% health, which is when the storm kicks in. The boss blows you away and spawns numerous tornados around it. These tornados then push toward you, slowly being an obstacle you must avoid to reach the boss. The boss also has a habit of staying around its tornados or causing the tornadoes to swirl, making fighting near them nearly impossible. You can lure the boss out of the tornado zone, which would be the best possible outcome.
Whenever the boss jumps up in the air, be ready to look up in the sky as the boss jumps a few times and then stomps at your location, causing Chill to build up.
The camera can sometimes become wobbly, but keeping it locked on the boss is best.
Phase 2
As the second phase starts, the boss regenerates its health and gets fully doused in blood. Almost every attack the boss performs will cover the area under you with blood. You must avoid standing on the blood as it inflicts the Poison Bane effect, causing damage over time. The phase starts with the boss screaming and causing balls of blood to float around the boss. These balls then contract and become projectile that home at you. Try to focus and dodge these, as they can also cause Poison.
Staying behind the boss in both phases to deal damage forces the boss to kick with both feet, knocking you back. Do not get greedy with your attacks or try to finish your Light Attack Combo, as you will usually be interrupted. Be wary of the boss's front leg stomp attack into the pool of blood, which takes out half of your health and simultaneously forces you to lie on the blood for an extended period.
