Fun fact: Resolute strike is also a counter that nullifies any damage, which the game refers to as "seeing through the enemy". As long as you have at least one focus charge you can use light attacks, and when enemies swing at you during your combo, right before you get hit, hit your heavy attack button. It's actually really effective for building focus and staying aggressive in fights.

[@WheeledHamster]

Been trying doesn't even work. Already awaken but character doesn't chain into heavy combo.

@@WheeledHamsteryou need to push heavy attack when enemy actually kinda punches you, not like before the punch

[@ninshusensei412]

@@WheeledHamster If you're not getting it to work, your timing is off. You also have to be mid combo since Wukong unlike Soulslike games allows you to combo cancel.

If you wanna get great at perfect dodging use the entire first stamina tree. The extra stamina and the agility you get is amazing. I’ve spent my entire playthrough never using a heavy attack yet but just dodging and using light attacks and spells. Your guide actually taught me how to use heavy attacks, so thank you.

[@thorinhannahs4614]

@degollador3able The way it works is that it will refill a gourd use. So one floaty spirit is one gourd use, and some will, while two floaty spirits will refill two gourd uses and some will. It is something you get in chapter 1 shortly after fighting the big wolf. I think I must of grabbed a spirit with a full gourd so I didn't notice.

[@FrostyFyre]

@@qazz6209 I have returned to say you are in fact correct. Later on you will come across green wisps with 2 or even 3 wisps in one go which awards more will (money) and you get 1 gourd charge (heal) per wisp, so if you have a full gourd and are hurt and come across a wisp, heal, then pick up the wisp!

[@youngfilmmaker9622]

I was today years old when I learned you could just reignite single sparks instead of the all of them at once. Another great video. You explain everything so quickly and concise. You get a sub from me.

[@ArktixOfficial]

[@ankurchakraborty2878]

[@derrickchronicles5627]

Thank you, for the tips just started playing yesterday and beat a few bosses( the guy who has a second form turns into a snake) with barely any upgrades.

[@ericcartman2294]

I think you forgot to mention/maybe didn't know, that in any kind of fights (even some boss special attacks) if you fell down, you can quickly get up or avoid attacks using "dodge" button, even while laying down. Really helpful when you got hit by first of multiple attacks of an enemy.

[@doombga]

I put my first 30 points purely into the light attack tree and stam/crit and immo. i'ts a good way to really focus on basics in the first chapter. there's a skill in the light attack tree that allows you to dodge in the middle of your light attack combo and pick up the combo where you left off, and it trains you very well to look for incoming attacks, and reacting. The "see through" focus ability is safer and easier but if you lean on it too hard you won't build reaction reflexes as good.

[@thorinhannahs4614]

I run smash stance and I slept on Mobile Spin, and it's upgrades for too long. I am in chapter 4 now, and mobile spin allows me to turn bosses into jokes. It gives a lot more focus, and Qi builds up based on hits, which means you get a ton of Qi for transformations and spirits.

[@ANBUxDTAE1]

Here’s a tip for new people use staff spin and max out staff spin in skill tree you will see the last one will give you massive amount to focus points every time the staff hits

[@GhibliHeroine]

I often rely on jump attacks against most smaller enemies to avoid taking damage. The issue is that the damage from jump attacks tends to be low.

I'm at the end of the first stage.... I had no idea how heavy attacks worked this entire time. I thought you HAD to charge them up to use them. So I thought of them as useless in boss battles. The whole time I was like: I don't get what focus charges are exactly. I was relying so heavily on the light attack combo. I'm so dumb. I think you've made the game a lot easier for me. 😂

finally, you will get max 4 focus points, but the last one has to be fuel from hitting monters, not by holding heavy attack charging. and the last one disappears over time if you don't hit monsters to keep it.

Not sure if you just saved it for another video, but you didnt mention here the main point of Resolute Strike, which is to 'see through' the enemy. If you time the heavy attack just as the enemy is attacking, you will 'see through' which means completely avoiding any damage from that attack. It also lets you restart the light attack chain from the 3rd/4th (cant remember which off hand) light attack in the usual chain so you get back to the 5th attack finisher quicker.

Another tip - the areas are WAY bigger than you think. There’s actually so many quests and side missions I went back and did after each chapter and it made the experience 100x more fun imo.

[@乾淨核能]

07:35 actually if you doing light then heavy with more than 1 focus point and your stafff/crudgel isn't glowing red, you are not performing resolve resolution at the right timing, and it won't trigger the follow skills:invigoration ,Vantage Point the right timing to do the heavy attack is when the foe's attack is about to hit you.

[@ArktixOfficial]

Yes, that’s the Resolute Strike.

[@siddesman5607]

This is why I really wish BMW had a physical disc with a booklet inside. So many times I wished I had a guide or a booklet for small information while playing the game :/

[@bigheadrhino]

I like your vid but I disagree about the early sparks, probably more important to investing a bit in rolling and light attacks first since they will be what you do the most. And for stance, in the beginning only invest in one stance at a time so you get as far down the skill tree as possible because they get so much better that way, and just respark when you want to play with a different stance.

[@Real_Bates]

It’s a bit frustrating with the lack of tutorials and vague explanations this game has. It could be just bad translation from Chinese but having to google everything to figure out what some stuff even is kinda gets annoying

Resolute strike acts as a parry when you press the heavy attack right before the enemy attacks you

[@NavAK_86]

One major tip you forgot to mention, under Smash Stance if you choose the resolute column, it allows you to parry attacks if you press the heavy attack button just as an enemy is about to strike

[@ArktixOfficial]

I did discuss Resolute Strike actually. Personally, wouldn’t call it a parry because it doesn’t cancel the enemy’s attack, but it does allow you to avoid/minimize damage.

[@NavAK_86]

@@ArktixOfficial If you Google it, Resolute Strike in Wukong is considered a parry mechanic. When you time it correctly, it nullifies all damage. Another mechanic that allows parrying is Rock Formation.

[@NavAK_86]

@@ArktixOfficial It is a parry mechanic, you have to time it right with heavy attack and it cancels all damage against you. Same for rock formation.

[@ArktixOfficial]

Yes, cancels damage against you, but resolute strike does not cancel the enemy’s attack. Personally I would call rock solid a parry or “parry-like” because it cancels the enemy’s attack and staggers them. I would not call Resolute Strike a parry because, while it does mitigate damage to you, it does not actually cancel the enemy’s attack or stagger them. Only the actual hit from your attack can stagger them and that can happen at any time, not just when they’re attacking you. And usually you need to go all the way to Skyfall Strike to get a stagger.

[@NavAK_86]

@@ArktixOfficial technically by definition a parry is just deflecting an attack, whether they stagger or not isn't necessary towards being a parry although it does help. I do agree Rock Formation is a better parry overall but it's limited, resolute strike is great for side enemies throughout the world rather than having to dodge every time you hit them with a few light attacks.

This may seem common sense, but you can also reset your relic abilities that you get from completing a chapter.

Each spirit is one charge sometimes you can get up to three charges at once

[@FallenOne669]

Please talk about "seeing through" enemies. The Skill Descriptions in this game are unnecessarily vague.

[@chasemarsh5202]

Its a counter, if you time it right you will negate the hit, then you can use heavy again if you have skyfall strike to combo it together

Black Myth Wukong is not for noobs, normies or casual gamers. It is really difficult and things are not fully explained to you. Unless you are a souls game vet or a really seasoned all round arpg player, you will struggle with this game and lose interest quickly. Honestly, I know a lot of people who wasted 60 bucks because they are not ready for it. The game itself is an absolute masterpiece, but its just not for everybody...and I like that. Not everything should be for everybody.
