There are several spirits available in Black Myth: Wukong. They won't always be along the critical path. You may have to search all corners or alternate paths in an effort to obtain all of these spirits. Below is a comprehensive list of all spirits available in-game including their effects and passive bonuses.
Shigandang is a secret boss, which you can face in Chapter 2. Unlocking and defeating this boss is worth it because you can get your hands on a new staff that will help you drastically on your journey ahead. Shigandang deals a lot of damage, but it has a major weakness that can be exploited to defeat it easily.
"Take the form of Gore-Eye Daoist, who wields a staff topped with a toad whose eyes emit a crimson glow. Stay within the glow and your attack will be enhanced. The staff vanishes on its own after a while."
Defeating Tiger’s Acolyte rewards the Destined One with his Spirit Summon . The Spirit Summon allows the player to unleash a single slash, dealing considerable damage to the enemy. The passive effect of the Spirit Summon increases your Critical Damage moderately.
Thrust Stance is an excellent and highly mobile style that works well when facing an enemy with dangerous close-range attacks, like AOE blasts, allowing you to quickly approach and retreat as the situation demands. This makes it a tricky style to learn but very rewarding to master, especially against bosses who transition to a second or third phase by using an AOE attack.
Most of these rewards are high-quality crafting materials that will automatically be added to your inventory. However, after the boss fight, a golden chest also spawns in the arena that contains the Boshan Censer Curios.
Tiger’s Acolyte is an optional boss that you can encounter near the Windrest Hamlet Shrine. Wielding a long sword, this boss deals considerable damage but also has many glaring weaknesses that make it fairly easy to defeat. Defeating the boss is worth it because it drops the Old Rattle-Drum Key Item, which unlocks the Mad Tiger Secret Boss.
Defeating the Stone Vanguard in Chapter Two allows you to craft the Gale Guardian Armor set , in which the chest piece boosts Shock resistance . Wearing the full set also grants additional focus and reduces spell cooldowns on a Perfect Dodge , something that can be easily pulled off against Red Loong's attacks.
"The thunder one belches lightning, the ice one exhales mist, the poison one spews filth, the fire one breathes flame, and the stone one howls and roars. Upon activating this skill, assume the form of a random frog."
After performing Tactical Retreat, Forceful Thrust, or a charged Heavy Attack, hold Light Attack to unleash Whirling Thrusts. The Destined One leaps forward to engage the enemy head-on, besetting them with barrage of staff strikes.
To get to Tiger’s Acolyte, you’ll have to reach the Crouching Tiger Temple and defeat the Tiger Vanguard. After that, you have to go past the temple and progress through the area until you reach the Windrest Hamlet Shrine.
Switching to Thrust Stance allows the Destined One to charge by holding Heavy Attack while remaining stationary. Upon releasing Heavy Attack, the Destined One can execute a swift thrust attack at a distant enemy.
"Take the form of Fungiwoman. Drift through the air with a mushroom cap and release spores. Upon landing, crash into the foe as the spores rain down to track and strike them. Spores that hit the foe can return and recover Health."
Stance switching is instantaneous in Black Myth Wukong Beginner Guide Myth: Wukong , allowing you to quickly shift if you need access to a different heavy attack or variable combo. That said, knowing when to use each stance and how each stance performs against different types of opponent is the key to success, so here's a breakdown of every Stance in an effort to answer the question: "Which Stance is Best?"
Keeping with the theme of darting in and out of melee range, Thrust Stance's variable combo (once unlocked) performs a backstep when you use a heavy attack during a light attack combo, carrying you back a short distance. If you tap heavy attack again and have at least one focus point, you can follow this with a ranged jab similar to the stance's heavy attack which can be followed up with Whirling Thrusts if desired. With the right upgrades, you can also transition Whirling Thrusts into the Tactical Retreat backstep to disengage.
