After a brief cutscene, you'll transform into a Golden Cicada. Use this form to bypass enemies and continue forward until you encounter a turquoise-colored boss. Don’t fight it yet; instead, take the left path until you reach a Torii Gate. If you have trouble finding it, transform it back to your normal form and explore the area until you do.

The guide below provides a comprehensive walkthrough of the first region in Chapter 1 — Forest of Wolves . It covers everything you can experience in the area, from meditation spots and chests to hidden items and optional boss battles.

If you pre-ordered Black Myth: Wukong or purchased the Deluxe Edition, interact with the Shrine again, navigate to the Trailblazer's Gift tab, and claim any extra items. Be sure to equip them by opening the Equipment tab.

It’s simple to pick up, though tricky to master, as those lanes can get crowded — even when they get special fruit power-ups to turn the tide. The game has been re-released through many Capcom compilations, like the Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium , and has been referenced in many more, like SonSon’s granddaughter appearing as a playable character in Marvel Vs Capcom

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

There are a few ways to make the fight against the Yellow Wind Sage easier, the most prominent of which is the Wind Tamer . This vessel improves your damage resistance and can be used to dismiss the Samadhi Wind that the Sage summons. To track down the Wind Tamer , you'll need to complete the Yellow-Robed Squire's Treasure Hunter Quest Walkthrough and enter the Secret: Kingdom of Sahali. After defeating the boss there, you'll receive the Wind Tamer.

This is a ranged attack that is easy to notice when the boss is about to use it, but because of the delay due to the attack animation, it becomes difficult to dodge it precisely. Elder Jinchi will most likely use this attack when the Destined One is far away.

Black Myth: Wukong features several secret bosses that you will encounter on your journey. Unlike other bosses, you have to take a few extra steps to unlock these hidden boss battles. While fighting them is optional, we recommend you defeat them for the exquisite rewards, and we are sure that you wouldn't want to miss out on the challenge.

While players can always farm more Will and Blood of the Iron Bull from enemies, the ability to freely respec Cultivated Spirits — even if it only returns part of the investment — would be a valuable addition. It would encourage more experimentation with different Spirits and make this aspect of the game more dynamic and engag

When selecting spells, both the Red Tides and Azure Dust Transformations are decent choices here. Burning the Sage can cause quite a lot of damage, making Red Tides a good choice, but Azure Dust makes you incredibly tanky and can knock him flat if you manage to land the heavy attack or spell. The new parrying spell you got from the Tiger Vanguard, Rock Solid , is excellent for knocking the Sage off balance and giving you a chance to counterattack. In terms of dishing out damage, Pluck of Many is insanely good at tearing through the Yellow Wind Sage's health bar if you use it right before, or right after, knocking him down.

The Yellow Wind Sage is your final challenge in Chapter 2 of Black Myth: Wukong , with a moveset that makes him dangerous at any distance. You'll have to find every advantage you can to come out on top against this sinister summoner of sandstorms, so let's talk strategy.

Watch out for his leaping attacks and claw swipes. At the start of the fight, use the Immobilize Spell to freeze him, then transform into Guangzhi using the Red Tiles Spell. This will give you a chance to deal heavy damage early on.

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

This sparked a major discussion among players, many of whom share the same frustrations. Usually, games will use some environmental objects to indicate a path is blocked — a rock, a tree, a fence — but not Wukong, which allows you to think you've discovered a new area, only to block you off rando

Sanzang is supposed to be a male monk, but because of the Japanese translation’s ambiguous use of gender, he’s often turned up in their media as a woman, be it as Dragon Ball ’s Bulma, Warriors Orochi 3 ’s Sanzang, or in the 1978 Monkey series. This show actually made it abroad to the West, where Ninja Theory continued the trend for Enslaved: Odyssey to the We
