Black Myth Wukong: 5 Gameplay Tips You MUST Know Before Playing

Black Myth: Wukong has been lauded for being more forgiving than traditional Soulslike games. One key aspect that contributes to this is the game's treatment of death.

Black Myth: Wukong is out now and it's getting largely favourable reviews from critics and gamers alike. While some are confounded by the lack of a map (which is a pain during fast travels), others are appreciating the fact that the game is much more approachable and sort of easier than other souls-like titles. In case you have decided to dive staff-first into the action RPG, here are five top gameplay tips from leading publications like Gamespot and Polygon

Will You Die Many Times?

Despite its challenging bosses and fast-paced combat, Black Myth: Wukong has been lauded for being more forgiving than traditional Soulslike games. One key aspect that contributes to this is the game's treatment of death.

Players control a character known as the Destined One, who retains all in-game resources upon dying. This design choice allows players to focus on jumping back into the action without the stress of losing valuable currency.

Fast Travel Is Available (But No Map)

Fast travel in the game is possible from one shrine to another, provided the shrine has already been visited. However, the lack of a detailed map means that players must rely on the descriptive names of the shrines and regions.

Fortunately, glowing embers are strategically placed to guide players toward the next Keeper's Shrine, acting as waypoints throughout the game.

No Medicine Crafting Until Chapter 2

Newcomers to Black Myth: Wukong should note that the ability to craft medicine is not available until Chapter 2, which is several hours into the game. Although players will collect ingredients early on, the crafting mechanic remains locked until this point.

For those looking to learn more about this feature, guides are available to help with the process once it becomes accessible.

Shrines Are Your Main Hubs

The game's Keeper's Shrines serve as multifunctional hubs for players. These shrines allow players to rest, fast travel, allocate skill points, craft weapons, brew potions, and purchase items.

You Can Reassign Skill Points

The flexibility offered by the ability to reallocate skill points is another highlight, enabling players to adjust their character's abilities as needed for upcoming challenges.

Overall, Black Myth: Wukong is being celebrated for its balance of difficulty and approachability, making it an exciting addition to the action RPG genre.
