You don’t actually interact with the Horse Guai in Chapter 5 of Black Myth: Wukong. You need to find a crashed cart near the Valley Entrance Keeper’s Shrine after defeating the Keeper of the Flaming Mountains Boss. During the Keeper of the Flaming Mountains boss fight, you will battle the Horse Guai as one of the many creatures.

Note that if you defeat the Keeper of the Flaming Mountains before encountering the Hourse Guai in all chapters of Black Myth: Wukong, you will miss out on the Dark Thunder transformation. This means you will have to wait till New Game+ to get the Transformation Spell.

Once you locate the crashed cart, pull on the cord sticking out of it. This is the Horse Guai’s whip, and you can now transform yourself into him using the Dark Thunder Transformation Spell. You can put the whip to good use and even imbue it with thunder for more damage.
