Spirits are the remnants that a boss or a particularly powerful foe leaves behind after you defeat them in Blakc Myth Wukong. You will also get a chance to absorb this spirit to gain additional bonuses and rewards, however, you will not have the option to do this right away.
It’s not a mechanic that the action-adventure does a good job of teaching new players. Hence, there are quite a few in the community who are confused as to what they should be doing with the orb that a boss leaves behind after being defeated.
Here is a guide that goes over everything you need to know about Spirits in Black Myth Wukong and how you can absorb them.
How to Absorb Spirits in Black Myth Wukong
To be able to absorb the Spirit of a boss in Black Myth Wukong, you will first need to have access to the Blessed Gourd upgrade. This is a skill that is unlocked after you have talked to the master in Snake Traik of the Bamboo Grove. This is the second area of the Black Wind Mountain that you reach after defeating a series of bosses.
Once you are in Snake Trail, you will need to:
- Make your way up the main staircase and then head right as soon as you reach the top.
- You will find a master there who is carrying a giant gourd. Speak to him and he will attempt to imbue your healing gourd with a new ability.
- This unlocks the Blessed Gourd upgrade and you will now be able to absorb the spirit of any fallen elite.
- So when you defeat a boss or a strong enemy, they will be dropping a small orb. You can then interact with it and the Destined One will be able to suck the spirit up and take it for himself.
Fortunately, if you feel that you might have missed out on the spirit of a particular foe, you will always be able to go back and collect them as long as you are not moving on to the next chapter.
Interact with the Keeper’s Shrine and at the bottom it will show an option to claim the spirit of all the foes that you might have missed.
