Black Myth: Wukong

In that area, you want to beat Firefox first before taking on the wandering wight. You can sneak past him but I’d definitely suggest putting the time in to beat him.

I use Chrome, can't stand Firefox :o:D

I watched Cohh take on the Wight and Firefox he had the same struggles for a while, so not just me I guess. As I am pretty early into the game I might restart, and put my level up points into a different tree (If I continue to hit a brick wall).

To be fair I haven't even spent a minute to check the HUD, so I guess I must have missed that bit.

**1 Hour 6 Mins playtime according to my Steam page** So not really invested yet for some reason. Was looking forward to it before release.

I definitely think it's worth just putting a decent chunk of time in, especially in the first area to beat those first 3 bosses and to learn dodging at the right time. You'll get some nice rewards after each one that are useful for the next boss, that's sort of the theme that I've noticed from this game.

Beating an optional boss will grant you something to help with either the next optional boss or the main boss, either at the end of that sub-chapter or the main chapter itself.

i.e:
Once you beat Guangzhi you unlock his transformation as part of your skill set, mega useful for essentially getting free damage down without impacting your own mana or HP levels. Use this to take down the wandering wight - and when you defeat him you will eventually unlock his head smash attack as a spirit, super handy for the passive defence buff but also his actual active head smash does a great amount of damage.

I also just recommend playing aggressively all the time, even more so when you've got your abilities up. Using immobilise is great for getting a huge amount of damage down and charging up your focus points, then once you break immobilise you can immediately use your heavy attacks with those focus points for even more damage and building up stagger! Dodge around a bit, trade some damage with light attacks and just build up those focus points.

Deleted the Spoiler as it showed up when I reply. Anyhow no harm done as I didn't read it.

I will definitely stick with it, as I know it is me rather than the game. Also reading the Journal first is probably a good idea, then I might know about focus points :o I get a bit impatient and just want to play the game. What is the saying ? Read the damn manual ?

Thanks for the tips by the way! much appreciated :)

Finally finished it, 58 hours it's taken me, great game, and the bosses are fantastic but a handful of them were just utter BS with dodge timings that require cat like reflexes to even stand a chance, some of the boss attacks are just a relentless assault that cannot be avoided which is also annoying af, I must have spent a good 5+ hours just learning how to avoid the BS patterns, which if you like that sort of thing great, I don't it was just frustrating and an annoyance to me.
 
I'm really struggling with the white snake tail dude in the water. 1st phase is no problem but by the time second stage comes I don't have enough health refills left and he gets really angry. I want my mummy.

Yup, he represents a big step up in difficulty. I beat him last night after about 6 attempts. You pretty much have to try and get through the first phase without using too many of your cooldowns so you can blitz him down with them in the 2nd phase. Make sure you have enough points in staff skills to unlock the second focus point. I switched my spirit to the Wandering Wight as that passively increases your defense plus using his ability deals a ton of damage. I also relied heavily on the transformation and used the immobilise spell every time it came off cooldown. Also, after beating him I wondered if investing points in thrust stance may have been useful particularly for the first phase where he frequently stands back and doesn't engage. The thrust stance allows you to attack enemies at distance.
 
I've decided to level up as much as I can after seeing a reddit post where one guy got to level 25 before fighting any boss lol. Gonna brute force my way around this place :cool:

Also, there is definitely a frame gen bug in that frame time will for a period of time become unstable resulting in motion judder. This seems random when/where it happens.

Update: The frame time bug can happen without Frame Gen too it seems. Just have to continue playing for a bit and it goes away by itself. Rather random. This likely coincides with people experiencing performance drops later in the game too as it's a random bug.


(still processing maybe)

What settings should i use ? im on 3840x2160p using 4090 and 7800X3D. upped the Dlss thing to 100% and it kinda died on its arse. Choose recomended settings and it turns on frame gen.

Definitely don't go with 100% on the render scale if you're using DLSS, I think @mrk can help with DLSS recommendations at 4k.

For 1440p you usually go between 67% and 75% - but for 4k you can reduce it more inline with what DLSS 'Performance' would be.

I spent a long time on this POS and nearly gave up.

What I did to beat him was to stop spamming the dodge button and studied his moves to know when to dodge then strike him back.

Its a waiting game to get it right, and it helps like I did in the end to beat the 1st phase without using any aids.

The second phase, I stayed close to him and then spammed everything I had left.

I do use it, on an RTX card you have Reflex working in the background when using it too.

Yup. So far every time I have tried it I have left it on. Surprised because I did not expect that would be the case at all before trying frame gen.

Best part is it will only keep getting better.
