Black Myth: Wukong gives players many different systems to upgrade their character's base stats along with what they can do in combat. While additional options and attacks are useful, it's just as important to upgrade your base stats to survive the various challenges thrown your way.
While using and respecing in the skill trees can be a straightforward process to get stronger, Mind Cores can also be found and used to increase your base stats. Mind Cores can also be respeced as often as the player would like, giving even more freedom to try new builds to find the perfect one.
Black Myth: Wukong - Best Early Game Armor Sets
Wearing full or partial armor sets offers unique bonuses in Black Myth: Wukong; here are the best armor sets to use in Chapters 1 & 2.
How To Find & Use Mind Cores
Mind Cores are rare items that offer great buffs, leading to them being fairly rare. The two main methods for finding Mind Cores are by defeating bosses and purchasing them from Shrine Stores. Shrine Stores have limited stock that is different from chapter to chapter. Not every boss drops Mind Cores, but usually, the major bosses from each Chapter do. Mind Cores also can be found in various chests throughout the world, and will become much more common in this method in later chapters.
Once you have some Mind Cores to spend, find Xu Dog who is used to craft medicine. His icon will appear next to the Shrine he is closest to in that chapter, such as the Cellar in Chapter 2. Talk to him and select Make Medicines, then choose Celestial Medicines. Any of these Medicines can be purchased using Mind Cores to give a boost in stats shown on the right side of the screen.

How To Respec Mind Cores
Should you decide you don't like how your Mind Cores were spent, choose the, "Remake Celestial Medicines" option with Xu Dog to have him refund all your currently spent Mind Cores, just like you can do with Sparks. This will return all your Mind Cores and let them be spent in whatever stats you want.
