Black Myth: Wukong is a heavily hyped game depicting an anthropomorphic monkey fighting against many other myths from Chinese folklore. But if you don’t know the origin of the stick-wielding monkey, you might be wondering what all the fuss is about, since Black Myth is a new game, not a seq

If you've left the boss arena without collecting the Earth Wolf's Spirit and don't find it upon your return, then don't worry. You simply need to rest at a Keeper's Shrine , where you'll find the option to retrieve its Spirit .

So, let's put all the above information together for you. Your strategy for beating the First Prince is pretty simple: You're going to want to bait out his lunging attacks, and then pile on the damage when he is vulnerable. Once you have done that, stick close to him, and try to circle around to his backside. Now the only attack you'll have to worry about is his tail swipe. Every time he gains a little distance, close it.

One of the best aspects of spells in Black Myth: Wukong is how easy they are to use. They can be upgraded to increase their power and are highly versatile — often serving both as offensive, damage-dealing magic or as defensive spells to give players a breather and allow them to plan their next move. On top of that, players can freely respec their allocated skillpoints to upgrade and try out a new spell. Let's rank all the combat spells players can unlock in the game (excluding Transformations) to determine which are the best spells in Black Myth: Wuko

As for the Earth Wolf's attacks , most are relatively straightforward to dodge as they have a long wind up. Your only concern, however, should be the grab attack , as it can cause a lot of hurt to the Destined One.

You’ll begin the quest to discover the Mad Tiger by first challenging the Tiger's Acolyte boss, who drops the Old Rattle-Drum quest item upon defeat . The Old Rattle-Drum must then be used in said locations to discover the Mad Tiger's lair. The following guide should help you find the Mad Tiger in Black Myth: Wukong , along with some helpful tips on defeating this adversary.

In Chapter Two of Black Myth: Wukong , the Destined One finds themselves in Sandgate Village. However, navigating this desert area is frustratingly difficult, not just because of the archers but also due to the many bosses surrounding the area's first Keeper's Shrine.

Once you’re at the shrine, head into the ruined village and across the wooden bridge. Take an immediate left under the wooden structures to reach a gray, misty area where you can use the Old Rattle-Drum to progress the Mad Tiger’s quest . Once you’re done with the brief cinematic, proceed to progress this quest further.

Players acquire Immobilize at the beginning of Chapter 1 during the mandatory Bullguard boss fight, gifted by the Keeper of Black Wind Mountain. With a few upgrades, this spell gives players the upper hand throughout the game, allowing them to control the flow of battle and interrupt enemies at critical mome

Immobilize is the first spell players obtain in Black Myth: Wukong , and arguably the best in the game. Simple to use, highly effective against most bosses, and extremely versatile, it works equally well for both offensive and defensive strategies. As a Mysticism control spell, Immobilize binds enemies in place with just a gesture from the Destined One's finger. The spell triggers almost instantly, freezing enemies in their tracks, increasing the damage they take, and offering a much-needed breather during intense fights — perfect for taking a sip from a Gourd or using special medicine. It's difficult to swap Immobilize for another Mysticism spell, except in rare instances where stronger enemies break free too quic

Of these three attacks, the only one that is truly dangerous is the Pouncing Attack, as once it is in motion it is nearly unreactable. So, you will want to dodge the instant his arms are fully raised above his head, as that is when he's about to pounce. The other two are easily dodged or run around, so they aren't really a threat.

Patience Is Key : One of the easiest ways to defeat the Mad Tiger is to rely on your unlocked abilities and spells, and play around their cooldowns. The Immobilize spell, in particular, should give you enough opportunities to execute powerful combos and take away large HP chunks.

As aforementioned, both games treat armor and weapon build acquisition in similar ways, which also applies to loot materials. Instead of finding gear in chests, materials that help the Destined One or Kratos craft high-quality gear are found there instead. This is what allows players to step away from main objectives, and dive into exploration for necessary materi
