From the starting point, defeat the two enemies ahead of you. This is the tutorial area, so take your time to familiarize yourself with the controls. After defeating them, continue along the linear path, eliminating any enemies you encounter. Eventually, you'll come across a chest — open it to claim its loot.

When you start the game, you'll be presented with a lengthy cutscene before being thrust into a battle with the game's introductory boss, Erland, The Sacred Divinity . Don’t worry — while he has a wide range of moves and a large health pool, you can easily defeat him, since you can’t die in this fight.

This can be said for Thousand-Mile Quest, which comes with the fun reward of a new transformation, but requires backtracking to two different locations, after beating two different bosses, and making sure to exhuast dialogue options, all while ensuring you don't soft-lock yourself into a sequencing error. The transformation is fun, but whether it's worth the effort is up to

Unlike many action-RPGs or soulslikes, Black Myth: Wukong features no map at all, leaving players to explore its vast areas entirely on their own. While it's clear that the developers aimed to encourage a sense of exploration without players relying on an artificial mini-map, this approach is a double-edged sword due to the game's level design. Early areas might feel relatively easy to navigate due to their streamlined nature, but by Chapter 2 — and especially in Chapter 3 — levels become far more expansive and layered, with numerous interconnected pathways and verticality. What makes this even more challenging is that Black Myth: Wukong 's environments tend to blend together, lacking distinct landmarks to aid in navigat

With so many pieces available to collect in the Game of the Year 2024, some sets reign superior due to their Unique Effects and convenient acquisition. You can craft particular Armor Pieces at the Keeper's Shrine after defeating certain bosses, using Will as well as the required materials, like Silk in Black Myth: Wukong . If you have everything you need and have unlocked an Armor Piece, you can craft and use it immediat

Let's not kid ourselves; the real allure is about the bosses. There is a staggering number of different bosses you can run into throughout Black Myth: Wukong, to the point that it's surprising when you've gone a while without running into one, but which are the best of the b

As a result, requests for the addition of a mini-map have become prevalent within the community. With numerous hidden secrets, optional bosses, treasure chests, and collectibles scattered across vast areas, the lack of any tracking system can frustrate players, especially when they're searching for a missing meditation point . While fans have already created their own external interactive map for the game, it would be ideal if the developers addressed this oversight in future upda

Black Myth: Wukong is an ambitious project, widely regarded as the first AAA video game from China — and rightly so. While the game may not offer in-depth exploration or a vast array of weapons like Elden Ring , it does feature a ridiculous number of boss battles. These encounters include hidden, optional, and mandatory fights, adding to the challenge and excitement.

The trading system in Black Myth: Wukong also could use some improvements that wouldn't be difficult to implement. There are several NPC merchants in the game who sell useful resources, upgrades, and key items, with their inventories expanding as the game progresses. Additionally, the in-game store at Shrines (similar to bonfires) offers specific goods tied to the chapter area or secret locations, which makes shopping unnecessarily complicated. Moreover, players are only able to sell gold pieces or treasure statues to merchants, and nothing e

You'll also notice a ray of sparkling light guiding you forward. Follow it to reach your first Keeper’s Shrine . You will automatically interact with it when you get close (in future encounters, interacting with Keeper’s Shrines will require player input). After a brief cutscene, you will receive the Incense Trail Talisman .

Umbral Abyss ranks high as one of the best melee-style Transformations due to the offensive and defensive capabilities it offers. Moreover, it doesn't require a prolonged quest or a specific boss fight to unlock, instead, players automatically learn this Spell upon completing the third Chapter in Black Myth: Wuko
