How to Find Black Loong
Black Loong’s lair is hidden behind a waterfall of sand in the Fright Cliff, but to access it, you’ll need a key item called the Loong Scales, which can be found elsewhere in Chapter 2. The journey to unlock this item involves battling several tough foes and navigating complex terrain.
To begin, head to Sandgate Village, where you’ll face off against the King of Flowing Sand and his sons. After dealing with this boss, proceed to the Valley of Despair, where your goal is to find the secret item that will unlock Black Loong’s lair.
Once in the Valley of Despair, keep an eye out for a lower platform near a red wall lined with statues. If you’ve already fought and defeated the King of Flowing Sand, his son, the First Rat Prince, will appear. Alternatively, you can summon the First Rat Prince using a Pungent Flesh Chunk.
While battling the First Rat Prince, lure him into performing a slam attack near the wall, creating a crack. If you’re unable to get him to crack the wall, you can use a powerful attack, such as the Azure Dust Transformation Spell, to break it open yourself. Behind the cracked wall, you’ll find a chest containing the Loong Scales.
Reaching Black Loong’s Lair
Now that you’ve obtained the Loong Scales, it’s time to find Black Loong. Head to the Fright Cliff, located on the opposite side of Yellow Wind Ridge. Your destination is a hidden shrine known as the Rockrest Flat Shrine. Just to the right of this shrine is a stairway leading to a waterfall of sand that, without the Loong Scales, would be impassable. With the scales, you can interact with the sandfall and remove it, revealing a hidden door to Black Loong’s lair.
Be prepared for an intense battle—the Black Loong is a fearsome opponent, and the rewards are well worth the fight.
Boss Fight Strategies
Like the Red Loong, the Black Loong boss fight is no walk in the park. Black Loong uses a combination of ranged and melee attacks, and dodging is key to surviving the encounter. Make sure you’re stocked up on health items and have your best gear equipped. It’s recommended to practice with spells like Azure Dust Transformation or powerful spirit attacks, as these can be crucial in dealing damage while dodging his high-damage attacks.
Keep an eye out for his patterns, dodge his heavier hits, and look for windows of opportunity to unleash your strongest combos. It may take a few attempts, but with patience and precision, Black Loong will fall.
Rewards for Defeating Black Loong
Defeating Black Loong will earn you some valuable crafting materials and items, including the Tridacna Pendant, Thunderbone, Loong Pearl, Refined Iron Sand, and the powerful Mind Core. These items will give you a major advantage as you progress through the game, especially in crafting high-level gear and upgrading your abilities.
