All Soaks in Chapter 2: Yellow Wind Ridge in Black Myth: Wukong

The Old Monkey explains that this is the shell of Sun Wukong, and that the Destined One will need to defeat his body and inherit his soul in order to become his successor, after which the journey will begin anew. The implication here seems to be that, in the world of Black Myth: Wukong , there is no one Monkey King, and Sun Wukong is repeatedly killed and reincarnated by his successors . The entirety of Journey to the West and Black Sun: Wukong seem to repeat themselves in a kind of time loop. The Destined One will become the new Sun Wukong, rule over the monkeys of Mount Huaguo, and eventually die so another Destined One can take o

Though you might think that silk is a material that you should be able to harvest from nature, that's not the case in Black Myth: Wukong . Instead, you'll have to defeat enemies, buy it in the store, or grab it out of the many chests scattered around Black Myth: Wukong 's expansive map . Chests provide the most silk of all these sources, but a limited number of them ex

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.

Unlike the Whiteclad Noble boss in Black Myth: Wukong , the Wandering Wight can be skipped for a time until you grow stronger. The first time you see the Wandering Wight , you might be transformed into a cicada and can easily pass the Yaoguai without it noticing you. However, you'll want to return to this enemy before reaching Chapter 2 due to the rewards it drops when defea

Laurel Buds Toward the end of Black Myth: Wukong 's first chapter, players are introduced to Shen Monkey and several methods of improving the healing drink. One of these methods is adding "Soaks" to the mixture, which will apply extra effects to whatever drink is currently in the Destined One's gourd. In Chapter 1, it is possible to find three such soaks.

Not only is this an incredibly strong attack, but the ability to use a ranged option can be lifesaving , especially if you are on the cusp of death and would prefer to maintain distance. There are many bosses in Black Myth: Wukong that can be better handled at a safer distance, so this is a great option to take for those countermeasu

For instance, the Fireproof Mantle that you receive after defeating Elder Jinchi in the secret " Three Bells" quest in chapter one allows you to nullify all fire damage for a short time, giving you a distinct advantage when fighting Black Bear Guai at the chapter's end. Each area has a few armor sets to unlock, so make sure you explore as much as you can so you don't miss anything. As you play, take note of the enemies you fight, as they may come in handy when gathering materi

This one is another special case, not unlike the Tender Jade Lotus soak in chapter 1. There's a chance for you to get the Steel Ginseng Soak whenever you harvest Ginseng. One place you can find ginseng is in the narrow crevice where the Man-In-The-Stone can be found. The Ginseng is underneath a bridge, making it fairly easy to drop next to it from above if you head backwards through the area from the Rockcrest Flat Shrine.

Another unique Spirit that is especially useful in survivability is the Swift Bat spirit, obtained by killing the Swift Bat that resides in the caves in Chapter 2 of Black Myth: Wukong . What makes this Spirit special is that it gives The Destined One the advantage of fli

This makes the Earth Wolf spirit even more important due to the additional Focus points gained. Focus takes some time to build back up , and while there are abilities to help you build them faster, this is one of the ways you can do so effectiv

Yaoguai is more of a concept than anything else, with its origins tracing back to ancient China where belief in supernatural beings was a significant part of religion and culture. For thousands of years, yaoguais have infiltrated various Eastern Chinese mythology Games-inspired media, with Black Myth: Wukong being the most recent. As the yaoguais play such an important role in the story and world of Black Myth: Wukong , it's worth diving into what they truly are and how Game Science has realized the concept in its highly anticipated game based on the journey of the Monkey K

The crafting system in _Black Myth: Wukong _ is typical for a Triple-A RPG, so having plenty of the rarer but "basic" materials, like silk, will allow you to craft new armor as the situation needs. Each armor set provides unique buffs , and equipping full sets will even give an additional, or stronger, effect when you wear all the pieces. Typically, these buffs apply to the area or fight you're about to en
