Inspired by Souls-like mechanics, players may quickly wonder how to parry in Black Myth: Wukong. As you may already know, parrying is a defensive technique where you time a block at the exact moment an enemy attack is coming your way. When done correctly, it deflects the incoming blow, often staggering or countering the enemy, leaving them vulnerable to follow-up attacks. This is an important mechanic that comes in handy during the most challenging boss fights.
How to Parry in Black Myth: Wukong | Rock Solid Spell
Interestingly enough, parrying is something that isn’t available from the start. The ability to deflect incoming attacks comes via a parry spell that you have to unlock by following certain steps. Here’s a rundown of the process.
Parrying in Black Myth: Wukong can be done using a spell called Rock Solid. It is an Alteration spell that turns the caster into a rock. If the opponent attacks the 'rock' while you are transformed into a rock, the blow will be deflected, creating a moment to land a counterattack.
As with parrying in all games, timing is everything. This may not always work either – there are some powerful bosses that can break the rock you’ve turned into.
