Summary
Black Myth: Wukonghas over 50 Spirits, each of which offers a different combative advantage. Finding and capturing all of them is a Herculean task, but it is tied to the Fickle Forms trophy. So, players looking to earn the Platinum trophy will have to collect all the spirits.
Aside from their importance to the trophy, Spirits are important to the combat inBlack Myth: Wukong. Equipping the Destined One with the right Spirit can significantly improve the odds of winning the fight. The sheer variety also has a downside, as it can confuse players and make them wonder which are the best Spirits.
7Earth Wolf
Rarity: Epic
TheEarth Wolfisfound in Yellow Wind Ridgenear the Sandgate Village Entrance Keeper’s Shrine. The Earth Wolf is rather agile, so it might give players some trouble initially. After it has been conquered, players will be able to use its Spirit in combat. The Earth Wolf’s equipped ability will allow players to gain more focus with every attack.
So players will be able to use more Heavy Attacks increasing the damage dealt to enemies. When players transform into the Earth Wolf, it will charge in a linear direction towards the foes. It doesn’t do much against the bosses, but it’s effective for dealing with small fry.
6Falcon Hermit
Rarity: Rare
The Spirit ofFalcon Hermitcan be obtained in the New West. Players might have a hard time locating it, but it is well worth the effect. This particular Spirit falls in the Rare category, which might put off some gamers. However, there is no denying that it is much better than some Epic Spirits.
Whenever the Falcon Hermit Spirit is used, it will generate a gust of wind targeting enemies in the vicinity. It deals Frost damage so it has a good chance of freezing foes. This should give players ample time to land hits and vanquish their enemies. The passive ability of the spirit moderately increases Frost damage.
5Puppet Tick
ThePuppet Tickis a Rare Spirit that has the capability to drastically influence the outcome of a battle. When summoned in battle, the Puppet Tick will summon stone spiders that attack nearby enemies. The spiders release venom when defeated, which can potentially poison foes.
The equipped effect of the Puppet Tick is quite ridiculous. It reduces the cost ofA Pluck of Many. This is a game changer, considering how powerful the spell can be. This alone is enough to make the Puppet Tick one of the best Spirits in the game.
4Verdant Glow
TheVerdant Glowis a Rare Spirit that has excellent passive ability. When it has been selected, the Verdant Glow will regenerate Health over time. Of course, it is not going to recover large amounts of HP, but this can be extremely useful in boss fights, which can last for several minutes.
Verdant Glow’s main skill is not half bad either. Upon activation, it will initiate continuous recovery for a limited time period. If it is used on water, the effect is enhanced. Considering so many fights inBlack Myth: Wukongtake place on water, Verdant Glow can come in handy. So, if there is a particular fight where playersrun out of Gourd charges, equipping Verdant Glow will do the trick.
3Gore-Eye Daoist
TheGore-Eye Daoistis an excellent Spirit for players to increase their damage output and their Mana level. The combination of the two makes the Gore-Eye Daoist one of the few Spirits to have good passive and main skills.
The enhancement of the Mana gauge allows players touse more Spells in combat, which can significantly impact the result of a fight. As the Spirit is activated, a staff will be summoned. Players' attacks will be improved as long as they stay within the staff’s glow. The staff will remain active for a limited time, so gamers should take full advantage of it.
2Baw-Baw-Lang-Lang
Rarity: Mythical
Baw-Baw-Lang-Langis the only Spirit that can reach the Mythical tier. Players can find Baw-Baw-Lang-Lang in the Black Wind Mountain region. The Spirit’s equipped effect is rather average, as it only reduces the Stamina cost for jumps and jump attacks, which is useless in most situations.
When the Spirit is fully upgraded, players will be able to summon any of the frog bosses and use their special abilities. For instance, players can getBaw-Li-Guhh-Baw on one useand Baw-Lang-lang on the second. This randomization has its pros and cons, which prevents the Spirit from challenging for the top spot.
1Wandering Wight
Players will encounter theWandering Wightin Chapter 1. The Wandering Wight is an optional boss, so it ispossible to miss him entirely. Players need to make sure that they don’t fight Elder Jinchi before beating the Wandering Wight.
When equipped, Wandering Wight’s Spirit will increase the defense of the Destined One. It is an excellent bonus, especially considering how tough the enemies are inBlack Myth: Wukong. The best thing about Wandering Wight’s Spirit is it can actually stun enemies momentarily. This comes in handy, especially against bigger enemies, as it gives players some breathing room and a few seconds to strategize. The Spirit also deals a decent amount of damage to enemies, making it viable in all kinds of situations.
