the chapter 4 webbed hollow armguard didn't drop

[Tr3m0r]

So I haven't really used guides until NG+3 to actually go and get the few achievements I haven't gotten and I think I may have to go to NG+4 for at least 1 which is this armguard I'm guessing is the last armor piece for the Might and armor achievement or whatever it is called.

I definitely hit the cocoon and released the boss phase and carefully got them down to 2 arms left. But when they transitioned to the next screen nothing dropped. I thought ok maybe it just drops after I see them in the purple mountain in that pit before the secret area. Nope. Didn't drop it there either. Are there ways that prevent the drop from occurring besides the arms from being taken off? Kinda was frustrating because I actually messed it up on NG2 so I was super careful on NG3.

just break off his 4 arms by immobilizing and then kill the boss its not a glitch i got the armguard after a minute or so and got all the achievements

Backup the save before attempting to do it next time so you don't have to play the whole game again.

Yeah that's a smart idea. I should have done that. I'm so powered up that I realized I beat the boss too quickly the first time in ng2. So I slow played in ng3 counting the tentacles being removed but I didn't get the arm guard for whatever reason.

Get a weaker weapon to fight him.

The game creates backups every so often, every hour, and every day. They are located at "...\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\BlackMythWukong\b1\Saved\SaveGamesBackup". This should save you quite a bit of time.

Are you sure you take down four arms down and two arms left? If you couldn't see (because it's dark), then press your keyboard "P" for photo mode and turn the light brighter yo check it up.

My method is not to hit him, until my spell recover, then stop him, go to his back, and smash his back (only hit him from the back). You may have 4-5 times of spell recovery. If you miss, then stop the fighting, go back to Keeper, do it again.

Yeah i actually did the immobilize one extra time to just count to make sure. I honestly have no idea. I thought maybe I progressed too far and backtracked too late but didn't see that as an issue when I looked it up. He was in the cocoon and I went about it very methodically. I'll have to just hope the next time I attempt it, I have a back up. I'll also have to map the absolute fastest route to chapter 4 as I'm kinda burnt out at about 170 hours lol

I thought I did it when the final he is going away because the CG shows he has only two arms left on the back, but that is not true. No matter how many arms he drops, the CG always shows two arms only.

Just use a low level weapon with 0 upgraades so you won't smack the living soul out of him, before breaking his arms and get the loot.
