One of the best features of Umbral Abyss is its Spell. This puts you in the Cold-Hearted state, which further enhances your blade attacks, and similarly to Cloud Step, turns you into mist, specifically when you perform a Dodge . What's great about this ability is that it makes you momentarily immune to Attacks , allowing you to take advantage of performing a Dodge. With this Spell, not only can you evade a hit from a Dodge, but you won't take damage af

Even when you're there, you could miss the option to challenge Yin Tiger, since very few other bosses need to be manually challenged. And once you do challenge him, you'll then need to take down this incredibly aggressive foe in his tiny arena outside his smithy. His transformation is a lot of fun once you have it, but the process of getting it requires a lot of hurdle-jump

As established, there are plenty of different ways to empower and customise The Destined One in Black Myth: Wukong, but perhaps the most impactful additions to his arsenal are Vessels. While there are only four to find, each (bar the last) is the reward for finishing an extensive optional and hidden quest l

After being reduced to around 1/3 of his health, the Yellow Wind Sage will start using some more powerful magic. When he stabs his staff into the ground and begins waving his arms, he will conjure a tornado that slowly follows you around the arena, damaging you and throwing you into the air if you come into contact with it. Since it moves slowly you can avoid it by moving away from it as you continue to fight, remaining aware of its position so you can retreat if it gets too close. Naturally, using the Wind Tamer will dispel the tornado, so use it when it's off cooldown and take advantage of the brief stun to attack the boss.

When you're up close, the Yellow Wind Sage uses several melee combos. His most commonly used combo is a single horizontal swing, followed by a back-and-forth double swing, and then an overhead slam that sends out spikes in a line ahead of him. Much like when he uses the overhead slam after firing a wind blade, you can dodge to the side and counterattack while he recovers from the final slam. Stay mobile and dodge the combo until he performs the slam, giving you the perfect opening to counterattack. He will also perform a two-step attack where he stabs his staff into the ground, then jumps and performs a stomping attack. Dodge as he stabs down and again as he stomps, then get in a few hits if you're feeling confident.

Getting just one of the hidden vessels is an achievement, but managing to track down all four requires a lot of extra commitment to ensuring you've scanned every inch of the world when exploring, and that's not even including the difficulty of the bosses these optional quest lines make you challenge as w

With Azure Dust, you can strike enemies using your head in three consecutive smashes , as well as aggressively charge towards targets, similar to that of Wandering Wight in Black Myth: Wukong . The form in which players transform when using this Spell will be familiar to those who have explored Chapter 2, as it resembles the same Rock Guai enemies that roam around these barren la

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

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

If you took a more linear approach to completing Chapter 2 of Black Myth: Wukong, then you will definitely remember having to take down Tiger Vanguard, but you will have likely missed the two other fights against tigers you can challenge in this chap

You'll be rewarded with an achievement for unlocking all transformations as well as all spells, but doing this is quite a task since while you'll get a few of these through unmissable scenes, there are a few spells and a lot more transformations, which are only obtainable through thorough exploration and completion of some more obscure quest li

Black Myth: Wukong is an undeniably feature-packed game. Whether it's the pure variety of customisation options, the massively detailed world, or the narrative and characters all steeped in deep mythological influence, there's something unique to look forward to, no matter what you're i

What makes the earlier portions of the fight against the nightmarish creature entertaining, is that if you go into the fight before beating Scorpionlord, the two will fight each other, gamescom 2025 and you can just watch them go at it until Duskveil takes out the otherwise frustrating venemous threat. You'll still, of course, have to worry about Duskveil (and his second health bar) but the pure satisfaction of getting to watch two bosses take each other on is unrival
