In Black Myth: Wukong, parrying isn’t an option, but that doesn’t mean you can’t skillfully evade enemy attacks. The key lies in the Rock Solid Spell, your trusty ally in many battles.
Here’s how it works:
- Defeat the Tiger Vanguard at the Crouching Tiger Temple in Chapter 2 to learn the Rock Solid Spell.
- Visit a Keeper’s Shrine and equip the Spell in the Self-Advance option.
- When an enemy starts their attack animation, activate the Rock Solid Spell.
- If timed perfectly, sparks will appear instead of damage, stunning the enemy briefly for a counterattack.
Mastering the Rock Solid Spell takes practice and familiarity with each enemy’s unique attack patterns and timing. Stronger or bigger enemies may be less affected by the Spell, so keep that in mind.
To truly excel with Rock Solid, consider investing Sparks in these Skill Tree upgrades:
- Rapid Return: Cancel Rock Solid.
- Rock Mastery: Reduces the cooldown.
- Nick of Time: Gain Focus when making a perfect parry.
- Upperhand: Increases Light Start Attack damage after a perfect parry.
- Ironclad: Damage Reduction after a parry.
- Bold Venture: Recover Mana after a perfect parry.
With dedication and discipline, you’ll soon be deflecting attacks like a pro, combining the Rock Solid Spell with other abilities to create a combat style that even the Gods will envy. Embrace the challenge and rise above your foes in Black Myth: Wukong.
