The Steel Ginseng Soak grants you focus whenever you take a sip, helping you to pull out variable combos and heavy attacks more frequently.

From __ 'Marsh of White Mist' __ Keeper's Shrine, follow the path through the roofed archway, descending your way across the wooden walkway . Make sure to take out the single enemy along the way, who won't respawn if you rest again at the Keeper's Shr

You can also make yourself harder to hit by investing some Sparks in the skill tree .

Many of Black Myth: Wukong 's Yaoguai Chiefs are the game's mini-bosses, so they put up much more of a fight than Lesser Yaoguais. Others may appear in the game but don't technically serve as a boss fight, like the Feng-Tail General. Furthermore, not all of Black Myth: Wukong 's Yaoguai Chiefs are mentioned in Journey to the West , Recommended Online site like the Flint Chief and Commander Beetle, and are instead products of Game Science's approach to Eastern mythology. The following make up the majority of Black Myth: Wukong 's 55 Yaoguai Chi


Xu Dog asks you to defeat the frog Lang-Li-Guhh-Baw , a boss who has swallowed his medicinal formulas. This enemy is almost a carbon copy of Baw-Li-Guhh-Lang, a similarly amphibian boss from Chapter 1 from the Bamboo Grove area. Unlike the Whiteclad Noble in Black Myth: Wukong or other humanoid bosses, the Lang-Li-Guhh-Baw has a bestial move set that may be easier to pred

The Iron Pellet Soak makes it impossible for you to be interrupted while drinking from the gourd and gives you a huge damage reduction boost while doing so, which can be a useful safety net when healing in certain risky situations.


While using your Gourd will be your primary source of healing, some consumable items you can bring along may save your life during the boss fight against White Clad Noble. As he doesn't deal any elemental-based damage, the best consumable to bring is the Evil Repelling Medicament, an Uncommon Alleviating Medicine that significantly increases Damage Reduction over a long durat


Yaoguais toe the line between being human and non-human in their appearance and stature. Generally written into stories as antagonists, their existence is largely inspired by the fear of the unknown. Every enemy and boss in Black Myth: Wukong is a yaoguai that possesses supernatural abilities like shapeshifting , creating illusions, and causing disease or poisoning, and each of them takes on a form that is a blend of both the natural and the unnatural. Very infrequently are they the protagonists of a story, except characters like Sun Wukong, the Monkey King from Journey to the West who Black Myth: Wukong 's Destined One is based on and who is also technically a yaoguai himself — though he is known to use the term in a derogatory manner to insult his f


After defeating the Black Wind King, you'll be able to complete some other stuff before heading up the mountain to defeat him in his final form as Black Bear Guai.

When you enter a Keeper's Shrine, select the "Make Medicines" option to start crafting. As you gain more formulas, you'll be able to make more medicines using the various plant life you harvest during your travels. For example, the Evil Repelling Medicament, the first formula you learn, can greatly increase your damage reduction for a long duration when you make it using a Licorice and Jade Lotus pl


Not every yaoguai in Black Myth: Wukong is pulled straight from Journey to the West , as some were simply inspired by the rich tapestry of Eastern mythology that the game relies on to fill in the holes left by the 500-year time gap between it and the novel. However, almost every major boss in the game is one of the yaoguais that Sun Wukong originally encountered in Journey to the West , and Black Myth: Wukong 's artistic recreation of those yaoguais realizes them in a way that has never been done before. In their appearances, personalities, and skills, each yaoguai boss in Black Myth: Wukong gives players a firsthand look at what it might have been like for Sun Wukong in Journey to the We
