In Black Myth Wukong, there are shimmering spirits everywhere, but you can’t absorb them without guidance. We will show you where to find your guidance so you can collect boss souls.
Where can I find guidance? To obtain guidance and finally absorb nameless souls, you need to travel to the place “Bamboo Grove” at the altar “Snake Path” in Chapter 1 in the Black Wind Mountain. You will reach this location after defeating Lingxuzi – the great white werewolf.
Upon reaching the Snake Path, go up the stairs to the right from the altar. Once at the top, do not walk along the bridge, but keep to the right along the path. There, you will discover an old man with a large drinking gourd on his back.
Approach him and watch the cutscene. He will magically take your small gourd and enchant it so that you can start absorbing souls from bosses and the surroundings.
Everything important about guidance and missed spirits
Why do I need guidance? The wise man enchants your gourd so that you can now absorb green soul fragments in the air, as well as blue spirits after defeating some bosses. If you do not have guidance, you will receive a message that you cannot absorb spirits without guidance.
It’s worth activating guidance because, in addition to strong spirits that can complement your attacks, you will also collect more spirit essences through the green fragments. You can also collect green spirit essences without guidance, but then you will only receive a fraction of the full amount.
Have I lost the soul of the Wandering Shadow? In Chapter 1, you will find the optional boss “Wandering Shadow” at the location “Outside the Forest”. The Wandering Wight can be defeated even without guidance, but if you try to collect his spirit, it will disappear, and you will receive a message that you cannot absorb it.
When you respawn, the soul will be gone, but don’t worry – it is not lost. Go to the old man who grants you guidance and then to an altar.
You can now secure your lost soul under a new menu item and equip it immediately to benefit from it. This way, you expand your build and can use a strong headbutt attack that can stagger even large bosses.
