Black Myth: Wukong – How to Absorb Wandering Wight’s Dropped Spirits

Black Myth: Wukong has over 80 bosses that players encounter throughout the journey and each boss is designed uniquely requiring players to learn and counter their attacks. Alongside the main boss encounters in the main journey pathway, players can also encounter side bosses hidden around the areas.

One of the initial side-bosses in the main journey is Wandering Wight found inside the Forest of Wolves. Although the encounter isn’t that difficult, the confusing thing is the absorption of its dropped Spirits. This guide will provide you with information on how to get the guidance to absorb Wandering Wight’s Spirits.

Wandering Wight Encounter in Black Myth: Wukong

Wandering Wight is a side boss in Black Myth: Wukong and the game will primarily tell you to fly by it in a bee form. As players reach the ‘Outside the Forest’ Keeper’s Shrine in the Forest of Wolves area, a cutscene will transform them into a bee. Now, you can obviously transform back to the primary state or come back to this location to encounter the Wandering Wight.

‘Cannot Absorb Spirits Without Guidance’, Solution

Upon encountering Wandering Wight and defeating it, it will drop purple Spirits on the ground. It will have a prompt to ‘take’ the Spirits, but it will not let you without ‘guidance’. Now, to get the guidance, you have to progress further into the main story and reach the Snake Trail Keeper’s Shrine in the Bamboo Grove area by defeating ‘Lingxuzi’.

Once there, head up the staircase and go to the right to initiate a cutscene. In the cutscene, an NPC will take your Gourd (Healing Flask) and bless it with Guidance. With the guidance blessing on your side, you can now absorb the spirits (of any enemy/boss that drops them).

After getting the guidance, the next step is to absorb the spirits you left behind. However, the Spirits will not be there so don’t waste your time traveling back to the Forest of Wolves. Instead, interact with the Keeper’s Shrine and you will see the ‘Retrieve Spirits’ option. Select the Retrieve Spirits option and then hold the respective key to retrieve all of the missed spirits.

How to Upgrade the Spirits in Black Myth: Wukong

Moreover, as you acquire a Spirit Skill, you can upgrade it at the Keeper’s Shrine. Interact with the Keeper’s Shrine and navigate to the Self-Advance option to see the ‘Cultivate Spirits’ option. Select the Cultivate Spirits option and it will show you the cost of Will required to upgrade the acquired Spirit Skill. Hold the respective key to upgrade the Spirit Skill.
