The Mythic Exorcist Black Tiger (辟邪黑虎 – Bì Xié Hēi Hǔ) is Zhong Kui’s legendary canonical steed in Black Myth: Zhong Kui. In Tang and Song Dynasty classical folklore, this sacred black beast serves as the Ghost King’s loyal guardian and primary mount, allowing him to hunt down demonic fugitives across the desolate plains of the 18 Courts of Hell.
Beast Traversal Profile
- • Summoning Method: Inscribe the Tiger Seal Talisman to instantly summon the beast underneath Zhong Kui while running.
- • Chasm Traversal: Capable of leaping across 25-meter gorges that are otherwise impassable on foot.
- • Mounted Combat: High-speed trampling knocks down lesser skeleton fiends and breaks wooden barricades.
Mount Traversal & Exploration Mechanics
The Black Tiger is engineered specifically for navigating the expansive underworld open zones:
- ⚡ Sprint Dash: Gallops at 160% standard running speed without draining Zhong Kui’s personal combat stamina bar.
- 🐾 Spring Leap: Holding the jump button near cliff ledges triggers an extended power bound, accessing secret mountain shrines and forgotten Taoist altars.
- 🐯 Exorcist Roar: Unleashes a sonic spiritual roar that temporarily frightens and disperses packs of Nether Hellhounds.
Mounted Combat & Dismount Strikes
When encountering patrol squadrons, Zhong Kui does not need to come to a full stop. Pressing the heavy attack button while sprinting executes an aerial dismount strike, thrusting the Seven-Star Demon-Slaying Sword directly into the vanguard enemy for guaranteed critical stagger damage.
