Key Fixes and Enhancements
Smoother Boss Battles
One of the standout changes in the latest patch is an adjustment to the fight with the Hundred-Eyed Daoist Master, the final boss of Chapter Four. Previously regarded as one of the most challenging encounters, players often found themselves struggling against the boss’s brutal final phase, especially if they hadn’t acquired certain key items. The patch notes indicate a “hitbox adjustment,” making it easier for the Destined One’s staff to connect with the boss, particularly targeting his legs. This change aims to alleviate frustrations and make the encounter feel fairer while maintaining its difficulty.
Equipment Buffs
The update also introduces notable buffs to some of the Destined One’s equipment, enhancing mid-game build opportunities:
- Spikeshaft Staff: This staff now increases the maximum mana by 30, allowing for more versatile gameplay strategies.
- Insect Armor Set: Players will benefit from a significant extension of medicine effect durations, improving survivability during intense encounters.
- Relic Perk Adjustment: A relic perk that previously narrowed deflection timing in exchange for reduced spell costs now offers a more forgiving window, making it a less risky choice for upgrades.
Addressing Compatibility Issues
As with many updates, there are some caveats. The patch notes mention potential compatibility issues with pre-installed mods. Players are advised to uninstall any mods and verify the integrity of their game files on Steam before reinstalling to ensure a smooth gaming experience.
Conclusion
The latest update for Black Myth: Wukong showcases the developers’ commitment to enhancing the player experience. With improved boss fights and buffs to equipment, players can look forward to a more refined and balanced journey as the Destined One. As the game continues to evolve, it holds great potential for both new players and returning fans. Keep an eye on future updates for even more enhancements!
