Not every yaoguai in Black Myth: Wukong is pulled straight from Journey to the West , as some were simply inspired by the rich tapestry of Eastern mythology that the game relies on to fill in the holes left by the 500-year time gap between it and the novel. However, almost every major boss in the game is one of the yaoguais that Sun Wukong originally encountered in Journey to the West , and Black Myth: Wukong 's artistic recreation of those yaoguais realizes them in a way that has never been done before. In their appearances, personalities, and skills, each yaoguai boss in Black Myth: Wukong gives players a firsthand look at what it might have been like for Sun Wukong in Journey to the We
The Iron Pellet Soak makes it impossible for you to be interrupted while drinking from the gourd and gives you a huge damage reduction boost while doing so, which can be a useful safety net when healing in certain risky situations.
Laurel Buds Toward the end of Black Myth: Wukong 's first chapter, players are introduced to Shen Monkey and several methods of improving the healing drink. One of these methods is adding "Soaks" to the mixture, which will apply extra effects to whatever drink is currently in the Destined One's gourd. In Chapter 1, it is possible to find three such soaks.
The Copper Pill is a situational pill that will either be useless or incredibly useful, depending entirely on whether you make regular use of the Rock Solid spell. Every time you take a sip, this Pill will make the next casting of Rock Solid cost no mana, as long as you use it within a short time after taking that sip. This is, naturally, fantastic if you enjoy using Rock Solid to parry and counterattack.
Additionally, Focus points are your primary method for dealing damage , which are built up through perfect dodges, Light and Heavy attacks. As players then consume them to perform powerful strikes to deal extra damage, building them back up again as soon as possible is important to land more critical h
This one is another special case, not unlike the Tender Jade Lotus soak in chapter 1. There's a chance for you to get the Steel Ginseng Soak whenever you harvest Ginseng. One place you can find ginseng is in the narrow crevice where the Man-In-The-Stone can be found. The Ginseng is underneath a bridge, making it fairly easy to drop next to it from above if you head backwards through the area from the Rockcrest Flat Shrine.
When equipped, the Wandering Wight Spirit's effect of increased Defense greatly enhances your character, as Black Myth: Wukong lacks defensive skills otherwise. This means that after using the Spirit in combat, you will be far more durable , aiding your survi
The Tiger Relic is a soak obtained by draining the blood pool in the Tiger Vanguard's boss room and heading beneath that area. To do this, you'll need to defeat the Tiger Vanguard and the Stone Vanguard, retrieving masks from them that can be placed on the statue in front of the pool. Once this is done, the pool will drain and you can head down. When you reach the section where you slide down towards the Cellar Shrine, you'll need to jump and perform a heavy attack while sliding to gain the height and distance to reach the platform where the relic is found.
Not only is this an incredibly strong attack, but the ability to use a ranged option can be lifesaving , especially if you are on the cusp of death and would prefer to maintain distance. There are many bosses in Black Myth: Wukong that can be better handled at a safer distance, so this is a great option to take for those countermeasu
Yaoguais toe the line between being human and non-human in their appearance and stature. Generally written into stories as Iconic Antagonists In Gaming, their existence is largely inspired by the fear of the unknown. Every enemy and boss in Black Myth: Wukong is a yaoguai that possesses supernatural abilities like shapeshifting , creating illusions, and causing disease or poisoning, and each of them takes on a form that is a blend of both the natural and the unnatural. Very infrequently are they the protagonists of a story, except characters like Sun Wukong, the Monkey King from Journey to the West who Black Myth: Wukong 's Destined One is based on and who is also technically a yaoguai himself — though he is known to use the term in a derogatory manner to insult his f
Another, perhaps even better, ranged Spirit option is Rat Archer, which also allows players to deal damage from a safe distance . By defeating a Rat Archer in Chapter 2, you will gain the attack that is most frustrating to ev
Taking the form of a Rat Archer will allow you to load and shoot arrows using a crossbow several times in quick succession . Not only does this deal damage multiple times, but it also stun-locks enemies as it does to The Destined One, preventing any form of retaliat
Once you complete the quest, you will be able to purchase the Goldflora Hairpin Curio from the Man-in-Stone himself for 12,800 Will. While this may seem expensive, using the Curio will easily make back the cost just by taking out a few enemies or possibly from a single boss k
