Wandering Wight

The Wandering Wight, curiously, isn’t listed in your Journal as a Yaoguai.

Guangzhi wields a flaming double-edged sword which is capable of meting out very fast combos and ranged throw attacks.

Just be careful you don’t run out of stamina.

Look for the burst of air just before the charge as a telltale sign of when you should dodge.

With a bit of practice, you’ll defeat the Black Bear and complete your journey through Chapter 1.

The main difference here is that the arena is also filled with small shambling corpse enemies.
