When it comes to these boss fights, Black Myth: Wukong truly shines. With its fast-paced combat, a variety of spells and transformations, and expertly designed bosses with distinct attack patterns, each fight feels unique with almost no repetition. This boss-rush experience is executed so well that it's worth playing the game solely for these encount

However, it's clear that Black Myth: Wukong isn't without its flaws, as certain aspects could have been executed better. Many players have already voiced their biggest concerns with this new action-RPG power progression. With just a few minor tweaks and additions, the overall experience could be significantly improved. From the absence of a mini-map to the abundance of invisible walls that disrupt immersion, here are some issues that need to be addres

Black Myth: Wukong isn't a true soulslike game , but rather an action-RPG that borrows several familiar elements. However, sometimes this borrowing doesn't fully work. FromSoftware's games are known for their cryptic NPC quests that are almost impossible to decipher without a guide. Many games that follow the soulslike formula have adopted a similar approach, Black Myth: Wukong included. Although there aren't too many side quests in the game, the ones that exist are definitely worth completing , as they offer valuable rewards, including new spe

Similarly to Rock Solid, your appreciation of Spell Binder will depend massively on how you want to tackle combat in Black Myth: Wukong. By using the ability, you're choosing to focus primarily on pure combat but have far fewer options when taking on tough enemies. However, there's a chance that you'll be able to take them down a lot quicker thanks to the buff. It's worth trying out if you manage to unlock it, but there's a likely chance that you won't want to keep it equip

Black Myth: Wukong is the latest action-RPG that has sparked debate over whether it truly fits the soulslike mold. While not as punishing as typical soulslike games and featuring more traditional action-oriented combat, it borrows several elements from the genre. These include a "bonfire" system, healing and stamina management, and a number of challenging bosses. However, due to its somewhat limited exploration and streamlined structure, the game primarily revolves around boss fights, with a new encounter typically every 15 to 20 minu

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 general strategy for this boss fight is to stay in mid-range of the boss, get your attacks in, and run away. Most of his stronger attacks have a very short range. If you get hit, attack the pilgrims nearby to heal your health. Watch out for the Ground Burst attack , as you wouldn’t want to get caught in an area where you can’t back off to escape the attack’s range.

After his health has dropped by roughly 1/3, the Yellow Wind Sage will start to whip up strong winds around himself while boasting about his Samadhi Wind, whirling his staff overhead. If you have the Wind Tamer , activate it now to stun him and dispel the wind, giving you a huge opening to pummel him with powerful attacks (this is also a great time to use Pluck of Many.) If you don't have the Wind Tamer , you'll have to back off until the whirlwind surrounding him fades. It has a very wide AOE, so back away as far as possible.

The Yellow Wind Sage's most frustrating attack during this phase begins with him running at you and performing a quick kick. If you don't dodge the kick he'll launch you into the air and begin a lengthy and unavoidable combo attack that will usually drain most of your health , if not all of it. Watch for him dashing at you to perform the kick and get out of the way by any means necessary since this attack is a grab and ignores invincibility effects like Rock Solid and Resolute Counterflow .

The complaints weren't limited to Reddit either. In Black Myth: Wukong's Steam reviews , players were quick to point out that one of the biggest cons is that "invisible walls are especially noticeable in the first chapter," and that it's "Annoying to see something that looks like a cave, but has an invisible wall five feet in front of

Black Myth: Wukong has captured gamers' attention since its reveal four years ago. All the released footage looked impressive, which led some players to doubt whether the actual game could live up to the hype. Despite being the debut title from Chinese developer Game Science, Black Myth: Wukong delivered exactly as promised. Players are impressed with standout features such as top-notch graphics powered by Unreal Engine 5, fast-paced and varied combat, and well-crafted boss fights with little to no repetit
