To beat Erlang, the Sacred Divinity in Black Myth: Wukong, you need a combination of the right equipment, strategic use of abilities, and careful timing. Here’s a detailed step-by-step approach:

### 1. Preparation
– **Equipment**: Ensure you have the following essential items:
– **Plantain Fan**: This fan is crucial for depleting Erlang’s shield quickly.
– **Sunset of the Nine Skies Drink**: This drink recovers 35% of your maximum health and grants Key Energy, which is essential for maintaining your Mana and Qi levels.
– **Golden Armor Set**: While not strictly necessary, the Golden armor set can provide additional defense and critical hit damage.
– **Thrust Stance**: This stance is vital for the Whirling Thrust combo, which helps in depleting Erlang’s shield and dealing critical hit damage.

### 2. Understanding Erlang’s Attacks
– **Shadow Dog**: Erlang starts the battle by deploying his shadow dog, which will attack you while he closes in with a Staff Combo. Be prepared to dodge from the outset.
– **Eye Lasers**: Erlang’s eyes will glow, and he will shoot a large laser beam that sweeps across. This is simple to dodge but can deal heavy Shock damage if you’re hit.
– **Combo Attacks**: Erlang has several combo attacks, including a Thrust and Kick Combo, Sweep Combo, and others. These combos can deal massive damage if you’re caught up in them. Focus on dodging each attack to create openings for counterattacks.

### 3. Strategic Approach
1. **Initial Phase**:
– Start the fight by running towards Erlang and holding the Thrust Stance to be ready for the transformation when he jumps.
– Use the Plantain Fan to deplete Erlang’s shield quickly. The fan’s attacks will leave him vulnerable to your counterattacks.

2. **Mana Management**:
– Use the Sunset of the Nine Skies Drink to recover health and maintain Key Energy. This will help you keep casting spells and using abilities without running out of Mana.

3. **Dodging and Countering**:
– Focus on dodging each of Erlang’s combo attacks. If you have the Mana, use Immobilize on him and then stun him out of it with a Spirit.
– Use the Whirling Thrust combo from Thrust Stance to deal critical hit damage and recharge your Qi. This combo is essential for depleting Erlang’s shield and keeping him vulnerable.

4. **Phase Two and Beyond**:
– As the battle progresses, Erlang may start using more powerful attacks like multiple lasers or enchanted spears. Be prepared to dodge these attacks and continue using your abilities strategically.

5. **Immobilize and Stun**:
– If possible, use Immobilize on Erlang to prevent him from using his combos and then stun him out of it with a Spirit. This can give you a significant advantage in the fight.

6. **Critical Hit Damage**:
– Focus on dealing critical hit damage to recharge your Qi and maintain your Mana levels. The Plantain Fan and Thrust Stance are crucial for this.

### 4. Final Tips
– **Mana Consumption**: Keep an eye on your Mana consumption and Qi recovery. Use the Sunset of the Nine Skies Drink to replenish your Spirit and extend the effects of your abilities.
– **Defense Gauge**: Be aware of Erlang’s defense gauge, which will reduce damage from regular attacks. Focus on depleting this gauge to increase your damage output.

By following these steps and using the right equipment strategically, you should be able to defeat Erlang, the Sacred Divinity in Black Myth: Wukong.
