How To Find The Missable Apramana Bat Boss
Two Encounters Are Required To Absorb The Apramana Bat Spirit
The Apramana Bat can be found in two different locations inBlack Myth: Wukong, butonly after finding the first location will the second encounter unlock. The first location will take you to the North Shore of the Bitter Lake. For the second location, you’ll have to enter the Valley of Ecstasy. Fortunately, you’ll only need to fight it once,during your first meeting.
Before encountering themissable Apramana Batfor the first time, you’ll need tobeat the Kang-Jin boss. After beating this boss, asmall boar will follow you. The boar’s name is Zhu Bajie, and he will accompany and occasionally assist the Destined One on his journey. Zhu Bajie must be with you to challenge Apramana Bat.
Missing this boss during your first playthrough will cause you to miss out on a mana-recovering Soak. Additionally, if you beat Yellowbrow before beating Apramana Bat, then Apramana Bat will disappear.
With Zhu Bajie by your side, head toBitter Lake’s North Shore Shrine. Turn right, then go straight. Follow the water until you reach a giant snake’s skeleton. You’ll encounter some smaller Apramana Bats along the way, which you can fight or ignore. Personally, I recommend fighting these smaller bats to get in some practice. Approach thegiant snake skeletonto initiate a cutscene and start the boss fight.

Tips And Strategies For A Successful Fight
First and foremost, it’s always a good idea to learn the attack patterns of anyBlack Myth: Wukongboss you face, which you can do with the video fromEsoterickkabove. If you took the time to fight the smaller Apramana Bats before engaging in the boss fight, then you’ll already know some of the moves. However, the boss does add some other attacks that you’ll need to learn so that you can counter them properly. The Apramana Bat boss comes with a total ofseven attacks:
Air Cutter Version 1
Apramana Bat sends razor-sharp wind through the air. If these winds hit the Destined One, it will apply the Chill effect.
Air Cutter Version 2
Apramana Bat will leap towards the Destined One twice, then spins to create a vortex. The vortex will shoot two projectiles at the Destined One. If hit, the Destined One will suffer from the Chill effect.
Aerial Stomp
After shooting into the air, Apramana Bat will pause briefly before using its talons to stomp on the Destined One.
Aerial Strike
Apramana Bat creates distance by taking to the sky, then unleashes a high-speed dive attack on the Destined One. Expect this move to be repeated in succession.
Chilling Gust
Apramana Bat flaps its wings and delivers a chilling gust of wind as a distraction, retreating afterward.
Frost Breath
After slamming its wings to the ground, Apramana Bat unleashes a mist that inflicts the Chill effect.
Rock Solid
During Rock Solid, Apramana Bat will become invulnerable. If attacked during this time, it will counter and strike back with its right arm.
To counter these attacks,stay alert and be ready to dodgeat a moment’s notice. Many of these attacks happen quickly and require quick reaction time. Fortunately, Apramana Bat isn’t that tough to beat and has low health. So, it’s just a matter of knowing when to time your dodges and attacks. For example, when Apramana Bat is on the ground, useImmobilizeto freeze it andA Pluck of Manyto deliver several blows. Zhu Bajie can also help deliver some hits to Apramana Bat.
