Since Soulslikes make up a sub-genre of the action RPG space, it can be difficult to discern the differences between the two at times. In light of Black Myth: Wukong ‘s technical classification as an action RPG and its constant comparisons to the Soulslike genre, it’s worth examining which aspects of the game cause it to lean more toward the action RPG spectrum and which might justify its unofficial categorization as a true Soulslike g
If you still have mana left at this point in the fight, and you can time the spell right, casting Immobilize while Black Bear Guai is in the mist form will actually interrupt the attack. He’ll be stunned just long enough for you to get a couple of good hits before he starts attacking again. As long as you have the mana, this trick will make Phase Two eas
After ringing each one, you’ll unlock a secret boss fight. For more visual guides on the bells’ locations, check out ConCon ‘s video on YouTube. You’ll be teleported back to the past, facing Elder Jinchi, a Yaoguai King. Defeat him here, and he’ll drop the Fireproof Mantle, which nullifies fire damage when activated. This is super helpful, as Black Bear Guai is a fire-wielding, ursine
This one is another special case, not unlike the Tender Jade Lotus soak in chapter 1. There’s a chance for you to get the Steel Ginseng Soak whenever you harvest Ginseng. One place you can find ginseng is in the narrow crevice where the Man-In-The-Stone can be found. The Ginseng is underneath a bridge, making it fairly easy to drop next to it from above if you head backwards through the area from the Rockcrest Flat Shrine.
The third and final lesser frog is right under the boss’ range and if you attack it, the boss will leap towards you. It’s best to quickly take care of the third lesser frog and then focus on the boss fight.

The Iron Pellet Soak makes it impossible for you to be interrupted while drinking from the gourd and gives you a huge damage reduction boost while doing so, which can be a useful safety net when healing in certain risky situations.
The effects of the Mantle don’t last forever, but they should last long enough to get some good hits before you return to a more defensive playstyle. One other thing to watch out for is an attack you’ll remember from your fight against the Black Wind King. This attack, where he turns to mist and charges you, can only be dodged. That is, unless you Immobilize
Other than the leaping attack, Phase One of this fight will see him mostly just swiping at you with his claws like any other bear would. He’ll sometimes throw a stomp in there, but no matter his attack pattern, your only real window for attack is between his combos. His hits come so quickly that attacking while he’s in a combo will almost always result in an interruption rather than good damage for you, so waiting between combos might be the safer and more consistent cho
In Black Myth: Wukong ‘s normal ending, the Destined One becomes Wukong as he was always intended to do . The Old Monkey monologues about the unreliability of the legends surrounding Sun Wukong: was he truly granted Buddhahood? Did the journey even happen? Either way, a new legend is about to begin, as the Old Monkey plucks Sun Wukong’s golden headband from the water and places it atop the Destined One’s head. A brief scene shows Sun Wukong sitting in a pool of amber, presumably within the stone egg from which he was born. The credits then abruptly begin to roll, signifying that there may be more of the Monkey King’s soul that the Destined One has yet to abs
The Copper Pill Soak can be found after defeating the Tiger Vanguard. You can find it in a container just down the path past the Tiger Vanguard Boss Room. (You can’t miss it, it’s the one with the blood pool) Take out the rat with the shield nearby and pop open the golden container to nab the Copper Pill .
