Black Myth: Wukong Looks Amazing, But Its Graphics Have A Major Problem

After his health has dropped by roughly 1/3, the Yellow Wind Sage will start to whip up strong winds around himself while boasting about his Samadhi Wind, Green-Capped Martialist Guide whirling his staff overhead. If you have the Wind Tamer , activate it now to stun him and dispel the wind, giving you a huge opening to pummel him with powerful attacks (this is also a great time to use Pluck of Many.) If you don't have the Wind Tamer , you'll have to back off until the whirlwind surrounding him fades. It has a very wide AOE, so back away as far as possible.

The Yellow Wind Sage's most frustrating attack during this phase begins with him running at you and performing a quick kick. If you don't dodge the kick he'll launch you into the air and begin a lengthy and unavoidable combo attack that will usually drain most of your health , if not all of it. Watch for him dashing at you to perform the kick and get out of the way by any means necessary since this attack is a grab and ignores invincibility effects like Rock Solid and Resolute Counterflow .

The most recent Journey to the West video game adaptation as of this writing is Black Myth: Wukong , which provides an alternate epilogue to the tale. Here, Wukong rejects the offer of immortality after his pilgrimage and is punished by Heaven for doing so by being sealed in stone. Since then, monkeys from Mount Huaguo have ventured out to try to revive him by collecting the 6 Relics he divided his spirit into. The latest one, armed with a staff like Wukong, is known only as The Destined

When you're up close, the Yellow Wind Sage uses several melee combos. His most commonly used combo is a single horizontal swing, followed by a back-and-forth double swing, and then an overhead slam that sends out spikes in a line ahead of him. Much like when he uses the overhead slam after firing a wind blade, you can dodge to the side and counterattack while he recovers from the final slam. Stay mobile and dodge the combo until he performs the slam, giving you the perfect opening to counterattack. He will also perform a two-step attack where he stabs his staff into the ground, then jumps and performs a stomping attack. Dodge as he stabs down and again as he stomps, then get in a few hits if you're feeling confident.

The show is also entitled Adventures of the Monkey King and Goku's Great Adventures , depending on the localization. Although it never made it Stateside back in the day, the show is currently available for those interested in classic and vintage an

One standout was Saiyuki: Journey West , a tactical RPG akin to Final Fantasy Tactics , where Wukong, Bajie, and Wujing could use their transformations in battle, with Sanzang as the healer. It didn’t set the world on fire back in the day, being a PS1 game released nearly a year after the PS2's launch. Still, Gamespot liked it enough to nominate it for their ‘Best Game No One Played’ prize at their 2001 awa

These are but a few examples of games asking for over a tenth of a 1TB SSD, which should be a lot of storage, but with the way that gaming is going, file sizes are only going to increase . This seems to be a sacrifice needed for the new era of gaming engines and the graphical fidelity that they now come with. Players are getting spoiled with path tracing, high-poly models, and 4K textures, but will have to spend most of the day hogging the internet to download this new era of games, especially if their internet isn't spectacu

The core of Black Myth: Wukong is combat, and there are plenty of different abilities and items that The Destined One can equip to make every fight different . The one aspect that adds the most variety to combat is the spells, as they each add a new layer to consider when taking on different f

After being transported to the Ancient Guanyin Temple, you have to walk upstairs and open the temple’s door . Elder Jinchi will be waiting inside the temple grounds. Make sure to check out the three chests towards the right side of the Keeper’s Shrine before heading into the boss arena.

After being reduced to around 1/3 of his health, the Yellow Wind Sage will start using some more powerful magic. When he stabs his staff into the ground and begins waving his arms, he will conjure a tornado that slowly follows you around the arena, damaging you and throwing you into the air if you come into contact with it. Since it moves slowly you can avoid it by moving away from it as you continue to fight, remaining aware of its position so you can retreat if it gets too close. Naturally, using the Wind Tamer will dispel the tornado, so use it when it's off cooldown and take advantage of the brief stun to attack the boss.

After you’ve taken out half his HP, Elder Jinchi will start to levitate and meditate. During this moment, you will be unable to deal damage to him. One by one, the pilgrims will start to spawn at the edges of the boss arena and walk toward the levitating boss to heal him.

This attack is easy to avoid because of the small range. You can simply move out of the range or dodge away from the boss, but you’ll have to be wary and not get caught by this attack during one of your combos.
