The thing is, that monkey is Wukong, an incredibly popular character hailing from Journey to the West, a 16th-century novel. He is the inspiration for many stories and characters, his own tale having been told and retold many times throughout the centur

For example, the Ochre set of armor only needs three pieces of the set to be equipped (leaving a spot free for a miscellaneous mask of your choice) to get it's buff, which adds extra damage reduction to your decoy from Cloud Step and any duplicates created by A Pluck of Ma

Black Myth: Wukong 's combat is one of the game's standout features, delivering intense, fast-paced combos combined with the incredible agility of the Destined One, all topped off with an array of unique and powerful spells, transformations, and spirit attacks. Besides the temporary transformations, combat spells are divided into three categories: Strand, Mysticism, and Alteration. Each requires its own slot, meaning players can only have one active spell from each category at a time and must visit a Shrine to switch their active spel

Players can obtain Ring of Fire in Chapter 3, in the Temple Courtyard, after defeating the Macaque Chief for the second time. After the fight, speak to the NPC there to trigger a cutscene and receive the sp

While there is no Journal entry for Fungiwoman , she does have a boss-style health bar and is included in this guide as a result. Players who want to fight her should make their way to the Court of Illumination Keeper's Shrine and then follow these steps:

The main problem with Wukong is that he is too strong for his own good , being able to defeat nearly anyone in both the heavens and the earth. Buddha himself ends up needing to get involved, sealing the monkey under a rock and placing a Golden Circlet around his head so he could not rebel against the Jade Empire ag

Pay attention to the Whiteclad Noble’Xbox Series S compatibility dialogues after you defeat him, as he’ll hint at three bells in the Black Wind Mountains , which you can ring if you want to find a secret boss and progress in Black Myth: Wukong .

This set is undeniably the ultimate armor set you'll get in Black Myth: Wukong, providing a crit chance boost after using a spell with two pieces, and then spell cooldown reduction after landing a critical hit with all four pieces. While you can upgrade certain sets to get close to this one, this is the best option for getting through the last few bos

Since Whiteclad Noble has quick movements, you’ll need to rely on the Immobilize control spell, which freezes him in place and gives you an opening to get a few attacks in. As such, invest as many Sparks as you can into the Immobilize spell. Consider investing points in the Stagnation Mysticism, as it can extend the duration of your immobilizing spell and give you more time to attack the Whiteclad Noble.

While not technically a boss, the Venom Daoist has a boss-style health bar, and players will fight it twice in Chapter 4. The first encounter with the Venom Daoist occurs near the Pool of Shattered Jade Keeper's Shrine . For action game fans who have yet to find that checkpoint, here is a path to follow from the Upper Hollow Keeper's Shrine:

Of course, not all of these armor sets are created equal, and you'll want to experiment with which one works best for you. Armor sets don't just provide an increase in defence, but also include set bonuses for having a certain number of pieces equipped, and a certain piece might have its own unique buff. So, with all this to consider, which armor sets should you look out

At the end of the story, Wukong attains enlightenment and atones for his sins , and the Golden Circlet is removed from his head. The Journey Wukong went through was arduous, and many references to it can be found when playing Black Myth: Wuk

Before your fight with Whiteclad Noble, make sure to upgrade the Pillar Stance as it can be incredibly useful against this boss’ water-based attacks. The Pillar Stance allows you to balance on top of your staff and avoid taking damage from the Whiteclad’s grounding attacks. Plus, it gives you a vantage point from which you can launch powerful overhead attacks.

Life-Saving Strand is the only spell that players won't unlock until after completing Black Myth: Wukong for the first time. When starting a New Game Plus run, after reaching the first Shrine in Chapter 1, players will receive the Life-Saving Strand skill. As the name suggests, this belongs to the Strand skill category, meaning players will need to choose between Life-Saving Strand and A Pluck of Many, equipping one of them in the available s
