Black Myth Wukong beginner tips: How to level up, defeat bosses & best abilities Game ScienceBlack Myth: Wukong may not have the difficulty of a souls-like, as explained by the developer, but it\u2019s by no means an easy fight, especially for beginners. Whether you\u2019re looking to be prepared before diving into the boss-heavy adventure, or you\u2019re stuck on a section and just can\u2019t figure out how to move forward, it\u2019s always worth gathering some key tips before loading up the game. So, to ensure you get off to the best start and have the right tactics under your belt, here are some top beginner tips to help you on your way. Choose skills carefully, but not too carefully The first thing to note in Black Myth Wukong is that your skills, which are brought with Sparks are completely changeable. By heading to a Shrine, you can choose to respec your Sparks allowing you to change something that\u2019s not working, or adapt your loadout based on the boss you\u2019re fighting. That being said, there are a few we recommend choosing first: As a note, we haven\u2019t added any Stance recommendations here as they\u2019re personal. Check out our best Stance overview for more guidance. Simian Agility: Dodging is pivotal so it\u2019s handy to reduce the amount of Stamina it uses. – Swift Engage: Being able to hit from further away is great, keeping you safe and letting you engage when needed. – Mobile Spin: Ideal to use when you come across ranged enemies. – Robust Constitution: Health is always handy. – Rampant Vigor: As is Stamina. – Rough Skin: Keeping your defense high is as useful as Health. – Immobilize: Stick as many points in here as you can, this is a game-changing spell. – Cloud Step: One or two Sparks are useful here, but don\u2019t go mad. – Transformations: Stick Sparks into Moon Roam, and Evergreen. – While the above choices will keep you alive, it\u2019s important to adapt your skills based on your own gameplay. If you prefer using the spells, then pump Sparks into that, if you\u2019re more interested in honing your critical damage or base health, then that should be the focus instead. Leveling is a priority if you\u2019re struggling To unlock those abilities and better the Destined One, you\u2019ll need to level up. While it\u2019s not meant to be the primary point of the story, if you find yourself struggling then working on leveling is pretty important, and can make those battles a little easier. There are three ways for you to gain Sparks in Black Myth: Wukong: Leveling up: Fighting minions and bosses as you explore. – Meditation Spots: These don\u2019t level you up but they do grant more Sparks. – So, if you\u2019re struggling then the best thing to do is to ignore the boss you\u2019re fighting and explore the world around you. The best-case scenario is that you level up by fighting the minions and find all the game\u2019s Meditation spots, granting a nice amount of levels. Alternatively, we suggest grinding away at a few specific locations, as these contain a good few minions for you to fight, rest, and repeat. If you\u2019re right at the beginning of the game, then Outside the Forest is a great location, alternatively, try exploring Snake Trail. Both of these have plenty of minions near the Shrine. On top of this, keep an eye on leveling up your gear. As you progress, your weapons and armor will be upgradeable which gives players a massive boost to attack damage, defense, and more. Bosses require careful consideration and a good potion Once you\u2019ve leveled up and assigned your Sparks, it\u2019s time to dive into the game\u2019s bosses, otherwise known as Yaoguais. While Black Myth Wukong isn\u2019t exactly a Souls game, these bosses can still be extremely tough. So, we suggest airing on the side of caution when diving into the battle for the first time. The best thing to do when starting the fight is to map out the bosses movements and attacks. It\u2019s vital to see how they hit, what special moves they have, and when their openings are, as those are when you need to strike. As such, dodge around them for a few attacks, and then move in for the kill when you can. Keep your spells to hand On top of this, the Destined One has spells for a reason, always keep these in mind and use them whenever you can. As you progress in the game, you\u2019ll unlock duplicates, freeze spells, defensive movements, and even transformations that almost act as free health, use these whenever you can. However, your Mana doesn\u2019t recover as quickly as your Stamina, far from it in fact. So use them tactically rather than spamming through everything in the first three seconds. Potions are your best friend As well as spells, Potions are a key aspect for a particularly tricky boss. Players are given multiple options, and it\u2019s wise to use them if you\u2019re struggling. The Tonifying Decoction (Stamina), Longevity Decoction (Health), and Tiger Subduing Pellets (Damage) are great choices. But you\u2019ll also want to keep Bane effect potions on hand too, in case the enemy inflicts Poison, Burn, or Shock damage. Ultimately, Black Myth Wukong might be more forgiving than the likes of Elden Ring, but it\u2019s far from a walk in the park. Play your battles carefully, keep going, and if something\u2019s not working, increase your power and run it again. While diving into the game to wipe out that one boss that never seems to die, be sure to check out all the game\u2019s achievements, how to improve your Gourd, or the game\u2019s length so you can see how far into the adventure you really are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
