Smash Stance also allows you to move around freely while charging a heavy attack and can even be used to charge while sprinting if you purchase the appropriate upgrade, making it a great stance with which to initiate fights. Running in with a fully-charged heavy attack can shave tons of health off an enemy or crush weaker foes in a single blow. That said, Smash Stance's attacks aren't great at hitting multiple targets unless they're standing in a straight line when you go for a Skyfall Strike, so you'll probably want to swap to Pillar Stance for that.

Red Loong should also be your excuse to finally reset your Sparks and look into Bane Mitigation under Survival in the Foundation skill tree if you haven't done so yet. This talent reduces the lasting effect of the Four Banes, including Shock.

Each chapter of Black Myth: Wukong pits the Destined One against many bosses, some of which are tucked away in hidden locations. Reaching these secret adversaries requires more than just following a straight path, and taking them down will demand far more than just base skills.

As a variable combo, once unlocked, Pillar Stance allows you to use Sweeping Gale. This has the destined one plant the staff ahead of them and spin around it, performing a multi-hit kick in the process. This can strike multiple enemies around you, which can help clear some space if you're being swarmed by weaker foes. After purchasing the Gale's Blessing upgrade you'll take considerably less damage while performing the spin, making it less risky to use. After unlocking Churning Gale, you can hit heavy attack again after using Sweeping Gale to perform a wide swing with an extended staff, which deals a ton of damage and tends to stagger anything it hits.

Upon returning to a Keeper's Shrine, you'll also notice a powerful new weapon available in the crafting menu – the Epic Loongwreath Staff . However, you may find yourself missing the key ingredients, a Thunderbone and four Refined Iron Sand , to craft it.

Whenever the boss has the sword in his hand, be ready for this offense. The final hit is difficult to avoid due to the delay. Be wary while attacking once you successfully dodge the final hit, because of the follow-up combo . All slashes can be avoided by dodging in any direction .

It takes no more than three staggers to slay this beast completely. So keep the aggression going and rely on every tool at your disposal, including charged heavies from your Stances and the Red Tide transformation.

As you've likely gleaned from the information above, Pillar Stance is the ideal method of dealing with groups of foes, and can also be used to dish out great damage against your target(s.) With the exception of Perching to avoid attacks on the ground, Pillar Stance is lacking in defensive options and can be risky to use against enemies that strike hard and fast. When keeping your distance is preferable but you still want to put out some huge damage, you might consider Thrust Stance instead.

In Black Myth: Wukong , there are many opportunities to upgrade your character's abilities and combat prowess. One of those options is through unlocking skills and talents under the Foundation skill trees. The Foundation skill trees are skills that enhance the core gameplay mechanics. They ultimately enhance your basic combat power, defense, and endurance. They are divided into 3 trees: Stamina , Martial Arts , and Survival .

Tiger Vanguard is one of the mandatory bosses that you will encounter in Chapter 2. It is one of the most challenging bosses to deal with and uses a varied set of attacks that keep the Destined One on their toes. It might take a few tries to fully understand the boss' moveset.
