How To Beat Lingxuzi In Black Myth: Wukong
As soon as you enter the boss arena, Lingxuzi will drop down from the roof and leap at you with a hand strike followed by another strike or a leap back. Most of the boss's attacks are easy to dodge and give you enough time to counterattack. The strike attacks can be dodged by rolling to either side. If you are incredibly close to the boss, it might sometimes howl, causing you to take a small amount of damage and get knocked down. This is an easy tell as the air around the boss vibrates for a second, giving you the cue to dodge out.
After losing 30 to 40% of health, the boss will leap to the roof and perform a slam attack. If you have the lock-on the boss, you can easily track its movements and dodge the slam as it comes down. The boss will now perform a new attack: the bite, where Lingxuzi places its head on the ground and bites you. This is also easy to dodge but does a lot of damage if you get hit by it. The boss's last attack is when it starts to run around in a circle, followed by a sweep attack or a slam. The boss usually leaves itself wide open after the sweep, so you can hit multiple hits in if you can Perfect Dodge the sweep.
Sometimes, the boss will start licking its hand out of the blue. If you are close to the boss, this is an excellent opportunity to attack, as the boss does nothing after licking its hand. You must make good use of your 
Immobilize Spell and the boss Transformation to set the wolf ablaze temporarily.
