How to Make Black Myth: Wukong a (Bit) Easier?

Black Myth: Wukong really makes you work for your victories. As the game is somewhat close to being a full-on boss rush type of experience, Wukong is sometimes going to feel punishingly difficult purely due to its penchant for sending several unique boss fights your way without letting you gear up or stock up on healing items in one go, for example.

There are, however, some ways to make Black Myth: Wukong a tiny bit easier than it otherwise would be. Either by tweaking some in-game settings or by making the right choices for your builds for the Destined One, we've got loads of advice to share. Find it all below!

Making Black Myth: Wukong a Bit Easier

To dispel the notion right off the bat, following this shortlist of tips will not make this game easy to beat. No matter what you do outside of outright cheating, Black Myth: Wukong remains a challenging experience through-and-through and some of its boss encounters are absolutely going to have you trying them out over and over (and over) again.

Hell, some bosses are a fair bit more difficult than most of the stuff you'd find in an actual FromSoft Soulslike, and that is saying something.

With that all out of the way, here's our list of must-do recommendations to make Wukong a tiny bit easier than it otherwise might've been for you:

• Set your gameplay lock-on options to work automatically (e.g. the game will auto-lock on the enemy you're attempting to attack)
• Kill the Wandering Wight as early as possible to unlocking it as an Attack Spirit, as it's got excellent stagger potential
  
• Avoid using the Pillar Stance for the most part, it's highly situational and way more of a gimmick than you'd expect
• Look into your armor's secondary effects: the blood pool tiger yaoguai fight in Chapter 2 gets way easier if you equip a particular Chapter 1 armor set, for example
• Stagger, stagger, stagger - it's your best friend in this game
• Focus, Focus, Focus - it's your second best friend in this game
• Seriously, invest into Focus-regaining abilities as much as possible, as Focus allows you to deal heavy damage, stagger, heal-up, and do a wealth of other things
• Avoid spending Sparks on Transform Spirits - it's not useful enough on your first playthrough
• Use Transform Spirits to deal with enemies you don't want to waste Gourd uses on
• Learn how to optimally use the Light -> Heavy -> Heavy attack comb in the Smash Stance
• Cloud Step is generally more useful across the board than any other ability in its slot
• Remember to return to the Vendors as you move on to new Chapters: it's easy to forget to upgrade your Gourd later on

That's about all we've got for now, but we're going to keep adding to this list of tips and tricks as we proceed with our Black Myth: Wukong playthroughs. So, stay tuned!
