No matter how you slice it, Black Myth: Wukong is a challenging action game with no difficulty settings, and while many bosses can be defeated on the first or second attempt by seasoned action RPG players, others are far more punishing. Some encounters require players to spend hours studying boss attack patterns, finding openings, and honing their reflexes. Careful attention must also be given to equipment, active skills, and consumables to increase the odds of success.
