Nothing is more frustrating than when you’re stuck in a game and unable to progress further because your character isn't strong enough. However, there is one thing you can do to change this.
Black Myth: Wukong is all about leveling up efficiently and getting Sun Wukong to the level cap so that you can achieve its full power and beat down high-level bosses. This guide will teach you to do just that. Read on to learn more.
Understanding the max level cap
The max level cap in Black Myth: Wukong is set at 342, and this number is not random—it’s deeply tied to the mythology of Sun Wukong. According to the classic tale Journey to the West, he was destined to live 342 years.
The fact that players earn Sparks at each level, to the point of unlocking every skill in the game, also helps a lot. These Sparks are vital to increasing key attributes, including HP, Stamina, Mana, Focus, and more, which are important for surviving the game’s most challenging encounters.
Efficient strategies for leveling up
To reach the maximum level, you must employ effective strategies for earning Experience Points (XP) and Sparks efficiently in Black Myth: Wukong.
This includes strategies like XP Farming, which allows you to quickly gain huge amounts of Experience Points without much grinding. One of the best locations to farm XP, especially in the game's early stages, is the Bamboo Grove Snake Trail because it allows you to repeatedly defeat numerous enemies in a straight path.
As you progress, places like Rockrest Flat in Yellow Wind Ridge or the region outside the Forest of Wolves are great spots to level up quickly.
You can also use items that boost or multiply your overall XP. The Incense Trail Talisman is an excellent example, allowing you to earn around 1000 XP every 60 – 80 seconds. Furthermore, resting at the shrine allows you to reset and defeat the same enemies for quick XP gains.
Other Methods for Gaining Sparks
Beyond farming XP, other effective ways exist to gain Sparks and level up.
Meditation Spots deserve a mention here. The best part? They can be located at numerous locations throughout the game. These spots give you an extra Spark and a place to rest. They’re also helpful for players looking to maximize their character’s potential.
Last but not least—the boss fights. Successfully defeating the main villains in the game naturally grants you more XP and Sparks than defeating mere henchmen-like characters.
