In Black Myth: Wukong, Sparks and Will are the two main resources that sustain your character’s progression and capabilities. Sparks are more like ‘skill points’ that are used to unlock or upgrade abilities and spells from the Self-Advance menu and Skill Tree in Black Myth: Wukong. As you earn more Sparks, you can enhance the Destined One’s combat abilities, get new magical powers, and become more powerful.

Without Sparks, you’ll be limited in your ability to progress, which is why you need to learn how to efficiently farm this resource, especially in the early-game. Read on to learn about all the ways you can get more Sparks in Black Myth: Wukong.

How To Get More Sparks in Black Myth: Wukong

There are two main ways you can get Sparks in Black Myth: Wukong:

Leveling Up

Each time you level up, you’ll instantly earn one Spark. As such, the more you progress and level up, the more Sparks you'll collect over time.

You can easily level up in Black Myth: Wukong by completing the main and side story quests and by defeating enemies and bosses. Taking down powerful bosses, like the Wandering Wight, grants you the most amount of XP and ultimately increases your Spark count.

Moreover, resting at a Keeper’s Shrine will respawn all enemies in the area and give you the chance to farm more XP. This is an effective way to quickly level up and get more Sparks.

Finding Meditation Spots

Another way to get more Sparks in Black Myth: Wukong involves finding Meditation Spots in Black Myth: Wukong. These quiet spots offer the Destined One a moment of peace amidst the chaos. By interacting with a Meditation Spot, you’ll trigger a cutscene, after which you are automatically rewarded with a Spark.

There are a lot of Meditation Spots scattered across all the five main areas in Black Myth: Wukong. Make sure to find and interact with all of them if you want to get more Sparks and unlock new skills.

How To Use Sparks in Black Myth: Wukong

As mentioned earlier, Sparks act as skill points you can use to unlock new abilities and skills for the Destined One. Interestingly, you retain your Sparks even after dying and respawning. To use Sparks, you simply need to open the Self Advance menu.

You can allot Sparks to any ability or spell you prefer. If you don’t like what you’ve selected, you can take back your invested Sparks and reassign them using the “Reignite the Sparks” feature. This means you can experiment with different skills and playstyles without worrying about permanent consequences.
