Since Soulslikes make up a sub-genre of the action RPG space, it can be difficult to discern the differences between the two at times. iconic Antagonists in gaminglight of Black Myth: Wukong 's technical classification as an action RPG and its constant comparisons to the Soulslike genre, it's worth examining which aspects of the game cause it to lean more toward the action RPG spectrum and which might justify its unofficial categorization as a true Soulslike g

Although rumors abound of additional, secret, even truer endings to the Destined One's journey, these are the only two to have been discovered thus far.

While you're in the crevice with the Man-In-The-Stone, you can also get the Iron Pellet Soak.
