The Laurel Buds are the first new soak in Chapter 2 and can be found in a container, in front of a statue on an altar, in Sandgate Village. A Rat Governor is guarding it , but that shouldn't be much of a problem as long as you get in close before it can start shooting lightning at you. Cloud Step will make it easy to get close. The closest Shrine to the soak is the Village Entrance Shrine. You can drop off the bridge just ahead of the shrine and head into the cave on the right, then up the stairs on the left side of the cave and follow the path into the village to find the Governor and the container with the soak inside.

There are also several secrets to progress in Black Myth: Wukong , should players find themselves stuck or in need of a helping hand. For instance, absorbing a Spirit or Will Wisp in Black Myth: Wukong will also refill the Gourd, which is used for healing. As such, players should use their Gourd to heal themselves before absorbing a Spirit or Will Wisp to take full advantage of the bonus eff

Black Myth: Wukong may have some of the most defining characteristics of the Soulslike genre , but, at the end of the day, it is an action RPG through and through. The Soulslike genre is very strict with its set of rules, and if any of those rules are broken by a game, that game may lose its chance of being properly classified as a Soulslike. Even so, Black Myth: Wukong is just as difficult as a Soulslike game should be, so the tendency some have to refer to it as such makes perfect se

While there are not too many active quests to complete in Black Myth: Wukong , players can acquire the Goldflora Hairpin by taking up a quest named 'Man-in-Stone' in Chapter 2 . Goldflora Hairpin is a unique Curio to obtain, as it doesn't provide offensive or defensive bonuses but is still well worth acquir

Another late-game science Curio worth the effort of acquiring is the Jade Moon Rabbit. As enemies and especially bosses hit hard in Black Myth: Wukong , using the Curio's effect of increased Damage Reduction will massively aid in survivabili

Black Myth: Wukong 's progression is one of the more prominent characteristics that set it apart from Soulslike games . Whereas it's possible for players to permanently lose any "experience" they've earned by dying twice before retrieving it, Black Myth: Wukong allows players to retain their experience and any Sparks (skill points) they've earned regardless of how many times they die. They do, however, permanently lose any medicine they might use before dying, which makes the use of rare medicine almost not worth it at ti

The term "yaoguai" is actually two separate words, "yao" and "guai." The word "yao" is commonly used in association with the supernatural — taking on English meanings such as "demon," "monster," and "witch" — but it is often simply more of a general description of their preternatural abilities. "Guai," on the other hand, means "strange," which is ultimately what classifies a yaoguai as a monster. This is also why some monsters are only called "guai," as they may not always possess supernatural pow

The Tiger Relic is a soak obtained by draining the blood pool in the Tiger Vanguard's boss room and heading beneath that area. To do this, you'll need to defeat the Tiger Vanguard and the Stone Vanguard, retrieving masks from them that can be placed on the statue in front of the pool. Once this is done, the pool will drain and you can head down. When you reach the section where you slide down towards the Cellar Shrine, you'll need to jump and perform a heavy attack while sliding to gain the height and distance to reach the platform where the relic is found.

Defeating the warrior with a snake's face and progressing further will lead you to the Guangmou Boss Battle, but to find Baw-Li-Guhh-Lang, you’ll have to go in the opposite direction from the Snake-like warrior until you reach an open pond. Baw-Li-Guhh-Lang will be waiting for you there.

Skill point respecification in a role-playing game is typically an expensive endeavor, as it generally requires the player to shell out currency in exchange for the ability to rebuild their character. In Black Myth: Wukong , however, players can respec their skills points, or "Sparks," an unlimited number of times for free at any of the Keeper's Shrines found throughout the game's sizable world. The fact that Black Myth: Wukong allows players to perform such an advantageous move for free says something about how often it is necessary, which is something players should thoroughly consider as they progress through the g

Black Myth: Wukong is a very difficult game , enough to frustrate even the most seasoned Soulslike fans with its countless swift and tireless bosses. As such, it's important for anyone diving into Black Myth: Wukong for the first time to know the ins and outs of its combat. Otherwise, they'll take the fast track to repeated deaths and therefore inhibit their progress. One of the most valuable features players will need to take advantage of in Black Myth: Wukong 's challenging combat is combos, as they can often turn the tide of bat
