Wukong is a character inspired by the Chinese mythological figure from the epic 'Journey to the West'. Just like his mythical counterpart, the game's Wukong is fast, nimble, and hard-hitting. The secret to mastering the game's difficulty is getting the hang of Wukong's speed and nimbleness. Then, you can literally run circles around the enemies.

The main damage in the game comes from Wukong's staff, which is just as flexible as the Monkey King. On top of this, the game also features an extensive arsenal of spells that can provide an edge over enemies. If you are just starting out, going through the beginner's tips for Black Myth Wukong is a good idea.

Although spells are great, the best strategy for the game is to tailor your build before each of the bosses. Black Myth Wukong lets you rebuild your loadout at each of the checkpoints. It is best to get an idea of the boss and then rebuild to exploit its weaknesses and make the encounter easier.

The game is quite generous when it comes to death penalties. You won't lose any of your items when you die, and neither does the game take exp points or impose any other penalties. Every time you die, you only have to restart from the nearest checkpoint. That is why trial and error is a big part of mastering the game and defeating the bosses.
