In Black Myth: Wukong, Spirits are powerful abilities you can absorb from many fallen bosses. They transform you into that boss for a very limited time, giving you access to their abilities and powers. However, you can only use one at a time, so it’s important you pick the right one for your current combat situation.
Because Black Myth: Wukong has plenty of optional bosses, it can be easy to miss some of these Spirits throughout your adventure. Considering the unique abilities of each one, you want to avoid this happening as much as possible. If you do happen to miss one, you can always fast travel back to the areas later in the game, so don’t worry too much.
