To defeat Erlang, the Sacred Divinity in Black Myth Wukong using the Thrust Stance, follow these detailed steps:

### Step 1: Understand Erlang’s Mechanics
Erlang is a challenging boss due to his high HP, aggressive behavior, and ability to switch between melee and mystical attacks. He can also “one-shot” the player with some of his attacks.

### Step 2: Prepare Your Build
To make the fight easier, you need the following items:
– **Golden Armor Set**: Provides significant damage reduction and HP increase.
– **Plantain Fan**: Depletes Erlang’s shield quickly, making him vulnerable to attacks.
– **Azure Dust Transformation**: Enhances your abilities and provides additional damage output.

### Step 3: Master Thrust Stance
The Thrust Stance is a crucial part of your strategy. Here’s how to use it effectively:
1. **Deplete Shield**: Use the Plantain Fan to deplete Erlang’s shield as fast as possible. This leaves him vulnerable to attacks.
2. **Whirling Thrust Combo**: Perform the Whirling Thrust combo to build up Qi. This combo is essential for dealing critical hit damage and recharging your Qi.
3. **Timing**: Pay close attention to Erlang’s movements and timing. When he is about to attack, use the Whirling Thrust combo to interrupt his attack and create an opening for counterattacks.

### Step 4: Manage Qi and Focus
– **Qi Recovery**: Ensure you have enough Qi to perform the Whirling Thrust combo multiple times. The Azure Dust transformation can help with Qi recovery.
– **Focus Gain**: Use items like the Pray Beads to gain more Focus, which is crucial for maintaining the Thrust Stance and performing combos.

### Step 5: Dodge and Counterattack
– **Dodge Mechanics**: Watch for Erlang’s spear attacks and dodge them accordingly. He often starts with a leap attack; watch for the pulse of light above his head and dodge backwards when he lands next to you.
– **Auto Attacks**: After dodging, perform two Auto attacks into a second Dodge. This helps you get free damage and sets up for the next combo.

### Step 6: Burst Damage
– **Burst Phase**: Once Erlang’s shield is down, burst him with critical hit damage. Use the Thrust Stance’s Whirling Thrust combo to maximize damage output.

### Step 7: Adapt to Phases
Erlang has multiple phases, each with different attack patterns. Be prepared to adapt your strategy based on the phase he is in:
– **Phase 1**: Focus on depleting his shield and building up Qi for the Whirling Thrust combo.
– **Phase 2**: Continue using the Thrust Stance and Azure Dust transformation to maintain high damage output.
– **Phase 3**: Burst damage when his shield is down, ensuring you have enough Qi and Focus to perform critical hits.

By following these steps and mastering the Thrust Stance with the right build and timing, you can effectively defeat Erlang, the Sacred Divinity in Black Myth Wukong.
