All Mysticism Skills in Black Myth: Wukong

There are two items that you can assign to your gourds that each offer varying effects. This ultimately provides deeper customization when strategizing your approach toward certain foes. These two items are Drinks and Soaks .

Your initial Gourd can be upgraded with the Shen Monkey vendor in the first region, Black Wind Mountain . When you obtain the proper materials, you can fast-travel to the Marsh of the White Mist rest stop in the Bamboo Grove. The Shen Monkey is just down the path and can upgrade your gourd in exchange for the materials required. For instance, the Old Gourd (which offers 4 uses) can be upgraded to the Medicine Gourd which grants players 5 uses. You'll need the following item in varying quantities in order to upgrade your gourd.

In one-on-one combat scenarios, the Thrust Stance might be the best option. It focuses powerful attacks with precision. As the name implies, you can employ thrusting maneuvers that pinpoint a specific target. While your attacks may not be rapid like the combo available in Smash Stance, the damage inflicted with each strike is more significant.

Stance switching is instantaneous in Black Myth: Wukong , allowing you to quickly shift if you need access to a different heavy attack or variable combo. That said, knowing when to use each stance and how each stance performs against different types of opponent is the key to success, so here's a breakdown of every Stance in an effort to answer the question: "Which Stance is Best?"

Switching to Thrust Stance allows the Destined One to charge by holding Heavy Attack while remaining stationary. Upon releasing Heavy Attack, the Destined One can execute a swift thrust attack at a distant enemy.

This is the earliest spell that you'll obtain in Black Myth: Wukong. This spell enables you to stop and freeze your enemies in their tracks for a brief period. You can then use this time to either heal or inflict enough damage on your foe that the spell "crashes" and they become mobile again. Keep in mind, some more powerful enemies can nullify the spell's effects. When it comes to more imposing hostiles, it's best to use this spell when they are staggered or exhausted.

This spell provides a layer of defensive cover. As its name implies, Ring of Fire conjures a circle of flame on the ground that can not only harm foes but provide boosts while the player is inside the circle. This spell will become available in Chapter 3 once you defeat Macaque Chief in the temple courtyard.

This spell is more offensive in nature. When used Spell Binder enhances the player's attack power for a period. Each of the skills also offer boosts, healing effects, or reduced stamina benefits during this period.

From the get-go, you'll have access to the Smash Stance. This stance prioritizes speed and power. The basic combo enables players to unleash quick, successive attacks that end in a significant final blow. Because of this, it is ideal when there are more than one foe to contend with. Players can bounce between targets mid-combo making it a prime choice for crowd control. Below are the skills available under this stree.

In Black Myth: Wukong , there are many opportunities to upgrade your character's abilities and combat prowess. One of those options is through unlocking skills and talents under the Foundation skill trees. The Foundation skill trees are skills that enhance the core gameplay mechanics. They ultimately enhance your basic combat power, defense, and endurance. They are divided into 3 trees: Stamina , Martial Arts , and Survival .

You can also obtain other gourds throughout your journey that offer other benefits. For instance, you can find the Xiang River Goddess Gourd , which grants players a limited window for burn resistance, inside a chest.
