Gold Armored Rhino
Background
With thunderous horns and armor of gold so bright,
One can charge forth, the ground quaking with might.
A form of strength, no evil dares draw near,
An unyielding heart, forever held dear.
It was well known that Sun Wukong, after being tempered in Lord Lao's Furnace, acquired a heart of gold, lungs of silver, a head of copper, and an iron body. Yet, what many might not realize is that even his seemingly invulnerable body still could feel pain when injured.
He was pinned beneath the mountain for five hundred years, with no visits from his underlings, sustained only by the mountain deities and keepers who provided him with iron pellets and molten copper. He suffered injuries from the Samadhi Wind at Yellow Wind Ridge, was trapped in the transforming gourd of the Gold and Silver Horn brothers at Flat Top Mountain, scorched unconscious by the Samadhi Fire at Withered Pine Stream, beheaded in the Kingdom of Chechi, stung on the head by the Scorpion Guai in Pipa Cave, imprisoned within the golden cymbal in the New West, captured in the golden light trap at the Temple of Yellow Flowers, had his heart gouged out in the Kingdom of Bhikkhu, and endured the tightening headband curse numerous times, each instance squeezing his head until it almost resembled a gourd.
Through bodily harm and mental torment, only he could guide the rest of the journeyers to the foot of Mount Lingshan. If the Golden Armored Rhino was truly transformed from the Great Sage's golden armor as they say, it indeed mirrored the Great Sage's indomitable spirit, never yielding to defeat. Even if its horn was shattered, it never lost the resolve to charge into battle, standing resolute and ready to fight anew.
Location
From [Foothills](/foothills)' Verdant Path Shrine, go past the [Supreme Celestial Inspector](/supreme-celestial-inspector) area and at the edge of the next small area (where you are after obtaining [Somersault Cloud](/somersault-cloud)). Summon the cloud and turn right. Remain on the same height and continue following the edge of the cliff. You will soon see a large parched land, land there and a cutscene will start. The lightnings are also an indication, you can just head towards the right lightning location.
Upon its defeat, the Gold Armored Rhino will drop [Gold Suozi Armor](/gold-suozi-armor), [Fine Gold Thread](/fine-gold-thread), [Mind Core](/mind-core) and [Cold Iron Leaves](/cold-iron-leaves).
Behaviour
The Gold armored rhino mainly uses charge attacks to ram players with its horn, along with horn swipes, strokes and stomping attacks, it can even imbue its horn with lightning to strike players with electricity and increase its attack power as well.
It is very powerful with defense stats so strong it can stagger players who try to break its horn. However the player can still break its horn with fully charged heavy attacks, once the rhino's horn is broken, its defense significantly decreases, making it more vulnerable to attack.
