A degree of preference factors into every player's choice, but for the most part, **Performance mode is the best option for Black Myth: Wukong ** . That's due to the simple fact that it is an action RPG, and takes inspiration from Soulslike games . Players will have to pay careful attention to enemy movement, ensuring that they get out of the way in a timely manner. This is much easier at the higher, more consistent frame rates provided by Performance mode. On this setting, stuttering is a lot less likely, which means players will less frequently miss cues for incoming attacks. The combat will also feel more fluid and satisfying, and the overall gameplay will benefit from
Talking to Xu Dog again **unlocks the option to "Make Medicines - Celestial Medicines" when interacting with the NPC ** . You can't make Celestial Medicines at a Keeper's Shrine like regular ones, as the furnace Xu Dog found is the only device that can properly make them. You won't have to defeat any bosses this time, but you'll have to search for new and rarer materi
However, while Performance mode is ideal for players on consoles and PCs that just skirt the recommended specs, some higher-end PCs may be able to handle Quality mode. Systems with specs that are significantly better than recommended may be able to run the game at higher settings without sacrificing frame rates. As a result, it's best to try out Quality mode first on PC, evaluate its performance, and then toggle Performance mode on as need
One of the best strategies for beating the Wandering Wight is to land heavy attacks against the boss whenever you can. Although you have to time these as the boss recovers from its attacks, striking the boss with a heavy attack from Smash stance will stagger it for a short time. This does consume a Focus Point, so you'll have to build up light attacks to be able to do this move ag
While using your Gourd will be your primary source of healing, some consumable items you can bring along may save your life during the boss fight against White Clad Noble. As he doesn't deal any elemental-based damage, the best consumable to bring is the Evil Repelling Medicament, an Uncommon Alleviating Medicine that significantly increases Damage Reduction over a long durat
You'll come across Xu Dog for the first time in Chapter 2 near the Village Entrance Keeper's Shrine in Sandgate Village . From this point, drop from the wooden bridge to your right to the gorge below to find Xu Dog in a cave with foxes painted near its entrance. Talking to the NPC for the first time will start their questline, which is tied to the crafting of basic medici
Without a plan, the Wandering Wight will be nearly impossible to beat with your base stats, skills, and equipment. You need to at least craft some gear using Sparks gathered from enemies to give yourself higher defenses while fighting this boss. There are other secrets in the extensive map areas of Black Myth: Wukong that you can also investigate to gain advantages against the Wi
The Wandering Wight also leaves behind a purple flame tied to the transformation mechanic in Black Myth: Wukong . However, you need to progress further into Chapter 1 to unlock the Gourd that allows you to transform into the Wight for a short time. This transformation gives you a powerful attack that can stagger any enemies and raise your base defense during intense fig
In short, the majority of settings that differ in the default Performance/Quality mode profiles are minor details . Players will be able to enjoy the same high render distance, visual smoothing, texture quality, and post-processing effects on either profile. They may, however, notice some dips in quality when looking at vegetation - sparser blades of grass, or blurrier leaves on trees, for example. Lighting will look less realistic overall, and the visual effects created by the Destined One's magical attacks may not look quite so impressive. Even so, the profiles are, for the most part, pretty simi
For those who are still unsure, **Black Myth: Wukong offers a benchmark tool that allows them to determine which settings are best for their individual system's specs ** . The Wukong benchmark is available for free via Steam , and tests a PC's capability by rendering a scene from the game and evaluating its performance. This will return a recommended group of settings for the full <a href="https://Peatix.com/user/27707944">SLG Game beginner Guide</a>, and ultimately, a judgment about whether a PC is capable of running the game. Players can use this benchmark ahead of downloading the game to determine which settings work best for t
The Wandering Wight blocks a path in the very first area of the Black Wind Mountain region you explore after the game's prologue. As you start from the Outside the Forest Keeper's Shrine, you could run into the Wight as you venture deeper into the Forest of Wolves. A few basic enemies can be fought along the way to this boss, but try not to engage with too many foes so you can start the fight with full hea
