Black Myth: Wukong, arguably the game of the year, features a unique system of collectible spirits that enhance your combat abilities. Our quick, but comprehensive guide reveals all Wukong Spirits and their locations, providing an essential resource for completionists and strategists alike.
What Are Wukong Spirits?
Imagine you're in the heat of battle, surrounded by fearsome foes, when suddenly you summon the spirit of a defeated enemy to turn the tide. That's the magic of Wukong Spirits in a nutshell.
Early in your adventure, you'll stumble upon the Blessed Gourd, a mystical item that allows you to absorb the spirits of vanquished enemies. Not every enemy will drop a spirit, though. Keep your eyes peeled for enemies shrouded in a mesmerizing blue flame-like aura, as they're your ticket to spiritual power.
