After completing a chapter in Black Myth: Wukong, players will obtain one of the six relics of Wukong and obtain some of his power. Upon getting the relic, you'll have to choose between which bonus from the relic to set as active, giving a permanent buff.

While it may not seem clear at first, these buffs can be changed between the various options for that relic. This is just one of the many ways players can change the build of their character, letting you try out any build you can think of easily without any in-game cost to respec.

How To Change A Relic Buff In Black Myth: Wukong

Once you have a relic equipped and the buff activated, it can be found anytime in your main menu under the relics section. To change which buff is active, head to the nearest Shrine and select Self-Advance, then Reignite The Spark to open the respec menu. Now that you have a relic, a new menu will be available along the top of the screen under, "Relics".

Here you can hold the reignite button to undo all the current buffs of your relic and select a new option. This process is free and can be done at any Shrine, giving players complete freedom to try each buff out and find their favorites.

What Can Be Respeced In Black Myth: Wukong

Black Myth: Wukong lets players respec and try different builds for just about all aspects of their character. While spent resources in crafting can't be brought back, you can still undo Staff upgrades to follow a different path if you want. Everything that can be undone or respeced is below, with armor being left off as it can be equipped and unequipped anytime after being crafted:

Staff Upgrades

Staff upgrades aren't permanent, though they will require you to craft the base version of the staff again before purchasing the upgrades of whatever other path you wish to follow. This process is expensive but lets players try out every staff should they want.

Skills In Skill Trees

In the Reignite menu, players can get all the spent sparks back to invest them in whatever skills their current level allows.

Relics

It may be a slow process to get new relics, but you can use that time to try out each buff available to find the best one.
