The transformation system in Black Myth is inspired by the renowned shape-shifting capabilities of Sun Wukong, allowing the Chosen One to access a variety of formidable forms, each equipped with its own health bar and distinctive set of moves.
Choosing the perfect Transformation Spell out of the nine available options can be overwhelming. That’s why we’ve carefully chosen five top transformations to elevate your gameplay to the next level.
Top 5 Transformations to Unlock in Black Myth: Wukong
To access Transformations, simply visit a Shrine and navigate to the ‘Self-Advance > Set Spells’ section. From there, click on the Transformations tab, which is the fourth category, and select your preferred form from the available options. Some of the most powerful transformations in Black Myth: Wukong include Umbral Abyss, Violet Hail, Hoarfrost, Red Tides, and Azure Dome.
Transformations stand out due to their unique capability to access new forms using the Might meter. Once activated, your health and Stamina bars will be substituted, and the transformation will persist until either bar runs out.
By upgrading your skills, you significantly enhance their effectiveness, making them both thrilling to utilize and crucial for conquering Black Myth Wukong’s most formidable foes.
Umbral Abyss
Surprisingly, the Macaque Chief transformation known as Umbral Abyss is unlocked after defeating Yellowbrow in the final boss fight of Chapter 3. This powerful Transformation offers players a combination of exceptional combat skills and enhanced mobility.
- This mid-game Transformation enables players to utilize a long blade for quick slashes and powerful attacks that provide Focus.
- Its Spell, Cold-Hearted, amplifies blade attacks and turns the player into mist upon dodging, granting temporary invincibility. This ability enables evasive maneuvers without taking damage.
- Additionally, the Cold Resolution Spell quickly closes the distance to enemies, setting up devastating strikes.
4. Violet Hail
To gain access to Violet Hail, one must first defeat Venom Daoist twice and then defeat Daoist Mi in the hidden ‘Purple Cloud Mountain’ region within Chapter 4. Afterwards, the Transformation Spell will be taught by the Snake Lady.
- As the Worm Guai, you become immune to Poison and gain increased Poison Damage and infliction capabilities, making it ideal for a Poison build. However, its self-wounding and self-healing mechanics can be complex.
- Using Self-Torment, you imbue your blade with Larvae, which are transferred to enemies through Light Attacks.
- The precise execution required for the Hive Mind Spell results in the detonation of these Larvae, causing significant damage. While the process is rewarding, it must be carried out with precision.
Hoarfrost
To acquire Hoarfrost, one must defeat the Monk of the Sea boss in Chapter 3 of the New Thunderclap Temple. This Transformation enables the player to hurl snowballs at their foes, providing a fun and “cool”method for defeating bosses.
- Despite its underwhelming Light Attacks, the Hoarfrost Transformation is still a solid choice. Its powerful Spell makes it a valuable asset in any battle.
- The Tentacle Sweep, a powerful Heavy Attack, generates Focus which can be harnessed to create a freezing area of effect that deals extra frost damage to foes. This makes it particularly effective for defeating multiple enemies simultaneously.
2. Red Tides
The powerful Red Tides Transformation can be acquired by defeating Guangzhi, the optional Wolf Guai boss in Chapter 1’s Forest of Wolves. This makes it an ideal early-game Transformation with a versatile and user-friendly set of skills. Its usefulness will continue even after unlocking other Transformations.
- This Transformation grants players the ability to build Scorch Bane and Focus points through swift slashes and dash attacks with a fiery double-sided blade.
- When Focus is at maximum, its Unique Talent enhances damage following a Perfect Dodge, in line with the game’s emphasis on evasiveness.
Top Tourist Destination: Azure Dome
The Azure Dome Transformation remains unmatched in its ability to bestow unparalleled power. This elusive and potent form can only be attained by completing the secret ending and defeating the final boss. To unlock the secret ending, one must vanquish Erlang, the Sacred Divinity, and the four Heavenly Kings.
- The Unique Talent, Indestructible, provides a significant boost in resistance to the Four Banes, but it can only be activated with six points. The Transformation Trait grants immunity to shock and poison, as well as the ability to convert frost and scorch elements for self-empowerment and the ability to cast Spells.
- The Primal Punch, a Light Attack, is a quick succession of punches that helps to accumulate Focus. On the other hand, the Earthshatter Slam, a Heavy Attack, requires jumping into the air and landing forcefully on the enemy, which also partially replenishes your Health.
- The Monkey Mind Spell enables you to use Spells that correspond to your currently equipped Spells, such as Rock Solid, Cloud Step, and A Pluck of Many. If faced with the choice between Immobilize or Ring of Fire, you have the option to infuse your fists with either Ice or Fire, granting them additional elemental strength.
The destiny of the world is in your control, Chosen One – make careful decisions about your Transformations, courageous fighter, and may your adventure be legendary!
