Parrying in a game can significantly enhance its combat mechanics when executed effectively. “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice” is a prime example of this, setting a high standard for parry mechanics. Similarly, “Black Myth: Wukong” has taken inspiration from FromSoftware’s hit title, incorporating its own version of parrying, though it operates differently. If you’re looking to master parrying in “Black Myth: Wukong,” our comprehensive guide will help you refine this essential skill.
Unlike the parry mechanics in action RPGs like “Sekiro” or “Lies of P,” “Black Myth: Wukong” introduces a unique approach to parrying. Here’s how you can effectively utilize this feature.
1. Leveraging the Rock Solid Parrying Spell
You might already be familiar with the “Rock Solid” spell, an altercation spell you likely encountered during the epic opening sequence where Wukong battles the Celestial Gods. This spell becomes available after defeating the Tiger Vanguard boss in Chapter 2, thanks to a gift from a Headless Musician.
To parry using the Rock Solid spell, cast it just before an enemy’s melee attack lands. The spell temporarily turns Wukong into a solid rock, effectively absorbing the blow and resulting in a successful parry that will stagger your opponent.
Remember, the Rock Solid spell has a cooldown of 15 seconds, so it’s not a tool you can rely on for every incoming attack. Use it strategically, especially against those attacks that are challenging to dodge. Mastering this spell as part of your combat strategy can significantly enhance your effectiveness in battle.
2. Parrying with Your Staff
While the primary method of parrying in Black Myth: Wukong revolves around the “Rock Solid” spell, many players have wondered if it’s possible to use Wukong’s staff to parry attacks. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t feature a traditional parry system that allows you to deflect all attacks with your staff. However, there are a few techniques that come close to achieving a similar effect.
One option is to unlock the “Mobile Spin” skill within the Martial Arts skill tree. This ability allows Wukong to spin his staff in a stylish manner, deflecting and blocking all incoming projectiles. While this move is useful for dealing with ranged attacks, it doesn’t function as a conventional parry for melee strikes.
Additionally, there are other ways to mitigate damage in the game. For example, performing a heavy attack in the smash stance or transforming into certain spirit forms can help block incoming attacks. However, these techniques are more akin to blocking rather than parrying.
While these alternatives don’t technically count as parrying, they are still valuable tools for avoiding damage in combat. So, what do you think of the unique parry mechanics in Black Myth: Wukong? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
