A handful of habits that smooth out the whole game — exploration, economy and combat shortcuts that make even the hardest Yaoguai Kings feel fair.
Exploration & economy
- Explore every branch — Wukong hides upgrades and bosses off the critical path.
- Don't hoard Sparks; a respec is free, so experiment with stances and spells.
- Craft the newest staff and armour whenever a boss drops the materials.
- Read Curio and Spirit descriptions — some combos trivialise specific fights.
Combat
- Immobilize + charged Heavy is your bread and butter — practise the timing.
- Keep a transformation and a full gourd banked before entering a boss arena.
- Perfect-dodge the big wind-ups for the largest counter windows.
- Stay aggressive — passivity gives bosses time to chain their worst combos.
Quality of life
- Fast-travel between shrines rather than backtracking on foot.
- Respec is free — reshape your build for any wall boss without guilt.
- Top up the gourd and re-equip at the shrine before every boss arena.
- Read new Curio, Spirit and staff descriptions; some combos trivialise a fight.
