Once you defeat the Stone Vanguard, you will receive the Sterness of Stone, three Silk, a Mind Core, and 1379 Will. You will also now be able to craft the Gale Guard Armor set. Wearing this set will provide you with bonuses for performing a perfect dodge.
Likely the easiest optional transformation you can unlock is Azure Dust during Chapter 2, but that doesn’t mean that he isn’t hard to miss if you don’t know where you’re looking. After completing a simple fetch quest for the Man-in-Stone, you’ll have an easy boss fight against him and be rewarded with a transformat

Fuming Ears is the Relic players obtain after defeating the final boss in Yellow Wind Ridge in the second chapter of Black Myth: Wukong . This Relic represents the hearing sense of Buddhism, but how that translates into Black Myth: Wukong ‘s gameplay is unclear. The description of the Relic reads, “Echoes of the past can be found where karma lingers.” It could be that, like Craving Eyes, Fuming Ears allows players to hear things they might not have been able to hear otherwise. However, it’s difficult to tell. At the very least, Fuming Ears offers three unique and worthwhile Great Sage Talents, of which players can choose one. They are the follow
There is such a massive variety of different options and abilities for switching up combat in Black Myth: Wukong that it’s easy to forget that one of the simplest ways to get stronger is to upgrade your choice of wea
Defeating Gore-Eye Daoist rewards the Destined One with its Spirit Summon. Using the Spirit Summon allows the Destined One to turn into the Gore-Eye Daoist, smashing his staff on the ground. The staff will remain on the ground, buffing the Destined One’s attack for a short duration, even after the transformation has ended.
Either way, Red Tides is a perfect transformation to learn at the beginning of the game. With the combination of short, quick, firey attacks, combined with the simple charge attack, using Guangzhi is an easy option and one you’ll likely want to keep even when you unlock other choi
Another very easy-to-miss transformation is Golden Lining , which allows you to turn into one of the harder optional boss characters: Yellow Loong. Just to find this boss, you’ll have to put plenty of effort into destroying a mural, locating three other optional bosses, and then finally getting to take on Yellow Loong hims
This is another one of those bosses where the setup is pretty simple. Prioritize armor with the highest defense, and a staff with the highest attack. There are no unique gimmicks that you can take advantage of with other equipment, so focus exclusively on the stats.
As far as lore goes, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice will take you to Japan’s Sengoku period, where you play Wolf, a shinobi whose duty is to protect his lord. Many of the creatures you’ll face off against in Sekiro are inspired by yokai — supernatural creatures and entities in Japanese mythology. There are also multiple locations in Sekiro that pay tribute to historic Japanese landmarks, like the Senpou Temple, based on the Kiyomizu-dera Buddhist temple in Kyoto.
In general, it is better to be close to the Stone Vanguard, than at a distance. Its close-range attacks are all telegraphed, and it is easy enough to side-step them and keep pressing with your own offense.
Prepare for a rocky battle when facing Black Myth: Wukong ‘s Stone Vanguard boss. Not only does this ghastly golem hit hard, not only is it as durable as it looks, but it also has a series of deadly ranged attacks. Nowhere is safe!
From the Windseal Gate Shrine, you have to go left, until you encounter a Lesser Rat . Defeat it and progress ahead. You will encounter the Gore-Eye Daoist shortly, standing in front of a Luojia Fragrant Vine Tree .

History is heavily intertwined throughout the game: in your journey, you visit cities like it Yokohama, Kyoto and Edo as they appeared during this time period, and you fight with weapons that include katanas and authentic Boshin war firearms. You’ll meet the faces of several political factions — including the Sabaku, pro-shogunate; Tobaku, anti-shogunate; and Obei, western forces — and your choices to side with or fight against members of these parties will influence the way your story plays out.
