In some other action games, you’ll very quickly start to realise that the enemies you’re facing are quite repetitive and that the game only has a stock few antagonistic forces to throw your way. But for better or for worse, this is definitely not the case with Black Myth: Wuk
Getting just one of the hidden vessels is an achievement, but managing to track down all four requires a lot of extra commitment to ensuring you’ve scanned every inch of the world when exploring, and that’s not even including the difficulty of the bosses these optional quest lines make you challenge as w
When you start the game, you’ll be presented with a lengthy cutscene before being thrust into a battle with the game’s introductory boss, Erland, The Sacred Divinity . Don’t worry — while he has a wide range of moves and a large health pool, you can easily defeat him, since you can’t die in this fight.
The general strategy for this boss fight is to stay in mid-range of the boss, get your attacks in, and run away. Most of his stronger attacks have a very short range. If you get hit, attack the pilgrims nearby to heal your health. Watch out for the Ground Burst attack , as you wouldn’t want to get caught in an area where you can’t back off to escape the attack’s range.
Lai also voices a couple of other characters in Wukong, and he’s also voiced a couple of the playable characters in Eiyuden Chronicles , Zabi and Kurtz. He usually has a more villainous streak, being the horrifying voice of The Hound from The Medi
Black Myth: Wukong features excellent character progression, offering several distinct skill trees for staff stances, various spells and transformations, celestial medicine passive buffs, and more. What’s even better is that each of these systems is highly flexible, allowing for unlimited respecs with little to no penalty whenever players want to try something new. However, for some reason, this flexibility doesn’t extend to the Spirit Cultivation system. Once players upgrade certain Spirits (and there are many), they cannot reclaim the resources spent to invest in newer opti
Be sure to explore the next courtyard and collect everything you can find. There will be another chest here — loot it and continue forward. When you enter the next room, turn to your left to find a giant statue. Interact with its altar to receive the Celestial Jade Lotus Pill . This collectible item will automatically and permanently increase your health, so it’s essential not to miss it as the journey ahead will become increasingly challenging.
Whichever option you choose, make your way through the door and follow the wooden path until you reach Guanyin Temple . Interact with the Keeper’s Shrine here and be sure to rest again. You will now unlock the Craft Armor feature . Craft the Pilgrim’s Headband, as it will allow you to heal while sprinting. If you have enough resources, craft the entire Pilgrim’s Set. Now it’s time to equip the set and continue your journey.
The trading system in Black Myth: Wukong also could use some improvements that wouldn’t be difficult to implement. There are several NPC merchants in the game who sell useful resources, upgrades, and key items, with their inventories expanding as the game progresses. Additionally, the in-game store at Shrines (similar to bonfires) offers specific goods tied to the chapter area or secret locations, which makes shopping unnecessarily complicated. Moreover, players are only able to sell gold pieces or treasure statues to merchants, and nothing e
Black Myth: Wukong is absolutely packed with unique and fun characters that you will run into and learn about throughout the Soulslike Game Review‘s multiple chapters. Each of these characters has a distinct personality and charm, and a large part of why so many of them are easy to fall in love with is thanks to the amazing voice talent that went into bringing them to l
You can kill the pilgrims inside the temple with one hit. Killing them will also heal you, so it’s a good strategy to shift your focus from the boss to start killing the pilgrims. However, you’ll have to keep your distance from Elder Jinchi as he’ll be attacking you alongside the pilgrims.
However, it’s clear that Black Myth: Wukong isn’t without its flaws, as certain aspects could have been executed better. Many players have already voiced their biggest concerns with this new action-RPG. With just a few minor tweaks and additions, the overall experience could be significantly improved. From the absence of a mini-map to the abundance of invisible walls that disrupt immersion, here are some issues that need to be addres
After you defeat him, another cutscene will play, and you’ll be plunged into the game’s first chapter, Black Cloud, Red Fire, which takes place in the Black Wind Mountain region (specifically in the Forest of Wolves subregion ).
While it’s unrealistic to expect the removal of all invisible walls or significant changes to the environment’s design in a game as large as Black Myth: Wukong , a mini-map that highlights actual routes and dead ends could provide a simple solution. This would ease exploration, especially for completioni
