How to Unlock All Spells

Immobilize

The very first spell you unlock during the tutorial section of the game, Immobilize will likely remain one of the most important spells throughout your journey. You can almost instantly freeze enemies in place and this works on most bosses as well. The spell has a low mana cost and a 50-second cooldown. You unlock it as part of the opening sequence.

All Transformation Spells

Transformations allow you to temporarily transform into another Yaoguai. This is perfect for laying on some damage or to avoid death as the transformation has its own separate HP pool. Here are all 10 Transformations in Black Myth: Wukong and how to unlock them.

Cloud Strike

Cloud Strike is both a stealth tool and an offensive tool. It allows you to create a duplicate and become invisible to enemies for a short time. The first strike outside of stealth hits extra hard and can be buffed with further upgrades. You get this by defeating the Black Wind King during Chapter 1.

Stone Skin

Stone Skin is a spell that allows you to parry or deflect enemy attacks by momentarily turning yourself into a stone. Some enemies cannot be parried but the damage will be negated. This spell has a short cooldown and a low mana cost. It’s quite useful to halt enemy onslaughts or continue your own. You get it by defeating the Tiger Vanguard in the Tiger Temple.

Pluck of Many

The Pluck of Many allows the Destined One to summon several clones that assault the enemy for a short duration. It has a high cooldown and a high mana cost. You unlock it by reaching the Windseal Gate Shrine in Chapter 2. There are several upgrades for this Spell that let you increase the durability, power, number and abilities of the Clones.

Ring of Fire

The Ring of Fire is a spell that creates a safe area in a circle where your recovery and health regen is improved. It can also be improved to grant other buffs. You unlock it by defeating the Macaque Chief in the temple after escaping the prison. It has several upgrades that increase the potency of the buffs it provides and other utility options. In fights where Immobilize is ineffective, Ring of Fire is the way to go.

Spell Binder

The Spell Binder is one of the most interesting and powerful Spells in Black Myth: Wukong. It’s also entirely missable in Chapter 3. The Spell Binder seals away your other spells and consumes all of your mana to give a proportionate buff to your Attack, Crit Rate, and Crit damage. This might seem like a drawback but with the right setup, this spell allows for one of the strongest builds in the game!

Life-Saving Strand

The Life Saving Strand is a powerful spell with a single use that allows you to come back to life after death. You can only unlock it after completing the base game and heading into New Game Plus with the second cycle.
