When you reach a fork in the path, take the left route to find the third Meditation Spot. Interact with it and open the golden box on the table. The box will reward you with a Celestial Taiyi Pill , which permanently increases your Mana . Now, take the previously ignored right path and continue along the linear route. Eventually, you will reach another Keeper’s Shrine. Congratulations, you have now completed the Bamboo Grove and are at the beginning of Black Wind Cave.

Part history, part fantasy, part comedy, and part religious treatise, Wu Cheng’en’s Journey to the West is an iconic piece of Chinese literature. Based loosely on the priest Xuanzeng’s real pilgrimage to India, it spiced up proceedings by giving the monk Sanzang three divine protectors in the river ogre Sha Wujing, the pig demon Zhu Bajie, and the magic monkey Sun Wuk

Now, head back outside and continue along the path. To your right, there will be a chest. Open it to collect its loot, and then push forward. Continue until you see a set of stairs leading upward. Climb the first set of stairs and jump down into the water on your left. Interact with the green wisp to acquire some Will. Then, return to the stairs and continue upwards, crossing the bridge, until you spot a small structure on your right. Interact with the golden box there to gather more resources.

It has inspired a wide range of media, from books, shows, and movies to comics and video games — though some games are closer to the legend than others. Whether they let players control Wukong and co. themselves, or pit them against Sanzang’s guardians, these are the best games inspired by Journey to the We

Black Myth: Wukong is part of a new age of games that are developed in the impressively powerful Unreal Engine 5 , and the title makes full use of the engine's new features. The lighting is some of the best that can be found, the models make use of the greater polygon counts available in UE5, and the particle effects with every strike of Wukong's staff look amazing, yet something needs to be sacrificed in order to make all this possible. Yes, a high-end PC is required to run the game, but so is 130GB of sp

Proceed ahead until you reach the Snake Trail Keeper’s Shrine. As you've done before, interact with it to make it available for fast travel. Next, ascend the stairs and take a right turn before crossing the bridge. A cutscene will play, where an old man gives you a Blessed Gourd. This device will help you gather green wisps more efficiently and allow you to claim Spirits from some of the tougher opponents in the game.

It turns the story into a Donkey Kong Country -esque platformer with Prince of Persia puzzle-solving, where players can switch between Sanzang, Wukong, Kihong (Bajie), and Sandmonk (Wujing) on the fly. That way, they can switch between their different skills and abilities (gliding, double jumping, etc.) to navigate various obstacles. It’s a fun little game that fell under the radar for many, but it delivers a strong showing through its deep ties to Journey to the We

Nowadays, most people may know Journey to the West for inspiring the Dragon Ball series. Its main hero even uses Wukong’s Japanese name, Son Goku. That said, most Dragon Ball fans outside Japan got into the series with the explosive sagas of Dragon Ball Z , where the Journey to the West influences got turned down and other influences, like Superman , got turned

The last unmissable spell you unlock throughout the campaign of Black Myth: Wukong is unfortunately disappointing, and after a couple of attempts, it's unlikely that most players will want to keep it equipped over the other superior choices that share the same s

The first spell you unlock is likely the one you're not going to want to let go of for the rest of the game. It's no wonder Immobilize is such an easy ability to get attached to since you get it so early on, and it's so quick, easy, and effective to util

With large SSD hard drives being cheaper than ever, it isn't the worst time for game file sizes to be beefier than a cow, but if every AAA game coming out is over 100GB in size, it will be difficult to have much of a library of downloaded games if players aren't into the indie scene. A 1TB SSD might not even get players ten downloaded games now, especially on a PC where file sizes tend to be larger for extra graphics settings, and that's ignoring the later updates that come with many tit

Darksiders 3 marked Gunfire Games' early attempt at incorporating soulslike elements , which they later refined in the Remnant series. As such, it's no surprise that Darksiders 3 feels like a transitional game — caught between the Action Adventure Game roots of the Darksiders series and some distinct soulslike elements, which at times can feel forced and unnecessary. However, the game's premise, where players hunt down the Seven Deadly Sins as Fury, lends itself to some truly memorable boss encount
