<br>Much like how Black Myth: Wukong is rooted in Chinese mythology, 2018's God of War is inspired by Norse mythology. You'll explore six of the nine realms of Norse mythology -- Midgard, Alfheim, Helheim, Jötunheim , Niflheim and Muspelheim -- defeating bosses that range from Ancients to Valkyries along the way.<br><br>Nioh 2, the prequel to 2017's Nioh, takes us back to the Sengoku period of Japan. This time, you play as Hidechiyo, a half-yokai (demon) whose appearance and gender is up to you. After customizing your character to your liking, you set off on a journey across Japan, honing your yokai skills and defeating hostile yokai.

However, you can obtain more potent staves, some with unique passive effects, that'll help you with progression in the game's largely linear questline. Some staves can simply be upgraded with the right materials. Other times, rare weapons or materials for crafting weapons can be obtained through secret side questlines such as the case of collecting Buddha's eyes from statues in Chapter 2 .<br><br> <br>Wukong originates from Journey to the West , a Chinese novel from the 16th century.

When activated, the Destined One transforms into a rock, which can completely negate the damage of an incoming attack, deflect it, and stagger the opponent, leaving them open for a counterattack. Timing is crucial for using this spell effectively, so it requires practice. One of the advantages of Rock Solid is its quick cooldown and low mana cost, allowing players to use it frequently during difficult encounters.
