To beat the Wandering Wight in Black Myth: Wukong, follow these detailed steps:

### Preparation

1. **Reach Level 10 to 15**:
– It is highly recommended to wait until you’ve reached at least level 10 to 15. This will give you a significant advantage in terms of health, damage output, and overall survivability.

2. **Invest in Your Stats**:
– As you level up, earn Sparks, which can be spent in the Self-Advance tab of the menu to improve your health and stamina. You can also unlock new abilities to boost your character’s strength and make it harder for the Wandering Wight to hit you.

3. **Unlock the Red Tides Spell**:
– If you try to fight the Wandering Wight early on, consider defeating an easier boss nearby called Guangzhi. This optional Yaoguai Chief drops the Red Tides Transformation Spell, which can be a game-changer in your battle with the Wight. This spell lets you transform into Guangzhi temporarily and prevents you from taking direct damage. The Guangzhi Transformation also lets you deal fire damage to enemies — which the Wight is extremely susceptible to.

### Locating the Wandering Wight

1. **Find the Forest of Wolves**:
– The Wandering Wight is located in the Forest of Wolves in the Black Wind Mountain. Specifically, you’ll find him walking back and forth in front of the tunnel entrance close to the ‘Outside the Forest’ rest shrine.

### Fighting the Wandering Wight

1. **Sneak Attack**:
– Sneak up behind the Wight and unleash a heavy Smash attack to start the fight strongly. While he’s still registering your presence, hit him with a Focus Point attack to stagger him for several seconds.

2. **Dodge His Attacks**:
– The Wight has powerful stomps, sweeping spins, and a fast leaping stomp that can easily one-shot you unless you dodge them at the right moment. He keeps you guessing with his varying attack patterns, from basic two-foot stomps to three-stomp combos, mixed with arm swings or jump kicks followed by a jumping stomp.

3. **Use Immobilize Spell Strategically**:
– When you notice the Wight preparing for a powerful area attack, casting the Immobilize Spell can be a strategic move. This spell will freeze the Wight in place, allowing you to unleash a light attack combo and stop him from completing his attacks.

4. **Exploit Staggered State**:
– Take advantage of moments when the Wight is staggered to charge heavy strikes that can knock him to the ground, giving you an open window to deal more damage before he can recover.

5. **Manage Stamina**:
– Keep an eye on your stamina levels during the fight. When your stamina is low, retreat to a safe distance and recharge. Take advantage of moments when you’re out of the Wight’s range to replenish your health.

### Additional Tips

1. **Use Transformation Spell**:
– If you have the Red Tides Transformation Spell, use it to transform into Guangzhi temporarily. This will prevent you from taking direct damage and allow you to deal fire damage to the Wight.

2. **Path to the Left**:
– Follow the left path from the Forest Shrine to defeat Guangzhi and get the powerful Transformation Spell. This can significantly aid in your fight against the Wandering Wight.

3. **Damage Reduction Items**:
– Buy damage and flame reduction items from Shen the Monkey’s shop to enhance your survivability during the fight.

### Rewards

1. **XP and Items**:
– For beating the Wandering Wight, you’ll earn around 1049 XP, which is more than enough to level up and get another Spark for self-advancement. You’ll also get the Cat’s Eye Beads Curio, Blood of the Iron Bull crafting material, three Yarn, and a decent amount of Will.

By following these steps and tips, you should be able to effectively prepare for and defeat the Wandering Wight in Black Myth: Wukong.
