How To Defeat Wandering Wight In Black Myth: Wukong
Ever since it was first announced way back in February 2020, Black Myth: Wukong caught the attention of Asian and Western players alike. Even in the earlier stages of development, it showcased visually stunning graphics , an interesting original concept, and fast-paced combat that resembled Soulsborne games. While the game takes its liberties, the Chinese cultural and mythological influences imprinted on it are evid
The desire to differentiate Black Myth: Wukong from Soulslikes is puzzling, as the game is very clearly trying to ape FromSoftware's formula. Players fight their way from shrine to shrine ( Black Myth 's equivalent to bonfires), killing enemies for XP and healing with a gourd that can only be used a limited number of times until it needs to be refilled. Gourds are refilled by resting at shrines/bonfires, an action that also refills the Destined One's health and mana and respawns all the enemies in the level. Levels are more linear than they are in FromSoftware's games, but there is still a maze-like quality to some of them, with branching paths and shortcuts to be found. The game has a major focus on difficult boss fights where players need to dodge as much as their stamina meter allows in order to avoid being hit. There are no difficulty options, so players are forced to master the game as it is if they hope to succeed. One of the few notable ways it differs from games that embrace the Soulslike label is that Black Myth doesn't have a gimmick where players can retrieve lost XP if they make it back to the spot where they d
It’s a shame too, because Black Myth: Wukong gives you tons of reasons to explore. It’s a game bursting with secrets to find and optional bosses to tackle, and even includes a secret location in each chapter that houses a unique boss or two for the more diligent explorers out there to sniff out. Exploration is both extremely rewarding, yet highly confusing, and the game doesn’t do enough to naturally stop you from walking in circ
Based on the Chinese novel "Journey to the West", Black Myth: Wukong will have players take on the role of the Destined One, a monkey protagonist based on Sun Wukong, from the previously mentioned novel. Equipped with a magical staff that can quickly change in size as the situation demands it, the Destined One will have to overcome several challenges to emerge victorious over the numerous enemies in its p
And while flying through bosses with ease could have potentially made each encounter feel lackluster, Black Myth: Wukong makes up for it by having a ridiculous amount of variety in their designs. Despite having dozens upon dozens of boss fights to tackle, rarely will you come up against a repeat or reskin. The vast majority of the game’s boss fights are completely unique, and even when you do come up against a familiar foe, they’ll have a completely different moveset to keep you on your toes. Combined with the chapter ending music videos, it’s very difficult to play through the game without having something enticing on the hori
The story is one of the more compelling parts, meeting characters that you may be familiar with in the lore, but how it’s told isn’t always particularly well done. While we’ll get to the amazing aesthetics and presentation later, most of the chapters generally start in a rather confusing manner. Our little monkey friend will end up in these new lands by methods unknown to the viewer. Whether it’s sneaking in a chest, waking up with a hundred arrows in you, or just teleporting through an ancient warrior statue, there’s never a good linear path for the storytelling, with what seems like portions of it left out.

Using spirits in the heat of combat also shines a light on one of Black Myth 's more unfortunate problems. While I didn't experience any severe, game-breaking bugs during my time with Black Myth: Wukong , there are still some technical issues that players will have to deal with. Using spirits occasionally made the game stutter and freeze for a brief second, which may not seem like a big deal, but can have serious consequences in tougher fights. Other times, activating spirits simply didn't work because the game read the input as a different action. Players have to hit both triggers to use a spirit, but sometimes the Destined One would spin their staff instead. Any action assigned to the bumpers seemed to be slightly unresponsive from time to time, which can lead to a lot of headache in a game like this. The game also occasionally mixed-up the audio and subtitles. Despite having English audio and subtitles selected, a couple of scenes switched to Chinese audio and subtitles before correcting itself a few minutes later. Even then, that was better than the rare instances where audio cut out completely with no subtitles to read at
