I still remember the moment I hit that magical number - 900 attack power in Black Myth: Wukong. The journey wasn't easy, but after countless hours battling through the mythical landscapes inspired by Journey to the West, I finally achieved what many players thought impossible. Looking at my Equipment Menu, seeing that yellow number glowing like a badge of honor... it felt surreal.

The Long Road to Power

When Game Science released Black Myth: Wukong back in 2024, I was immediately captivated by its challenging combat system and breathtaking visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5. Now in 2025, with several major updates behind us, the game has evolved but remains as unforgiving as ever.

Most players finish their first playthrough with attack power somewhere between 100-150. I was no different - my first run left me with 127 attack power after about 37 hours of gameplay. I felt accomplished... until I faced certain bosses that humbled me quickly.

That's when my obsession began. Could I push The Destined One to unprecedented levels of strength?

New Game Plus: The Key to Greatness

The New Game Plus system in Black Myth: Wukong is brilliantly designed for players like me who crave continual progression. Each time I completed the game, I carried over:

• All Will points

• Combat stats

• Materials and currencies

• Weapons and armor sets

• Upgrade materials

The only things that reset were key story items - which honestly gave me a good reason to revisit some of my favorite questlines. With each new cycle, enemies hit harder and have more health, creating a satisfying difficulty curve that kept me engaged.

By my third playthrough, I was approaching 400 attack power, and bosses that once seemed impossible were becoming manageable. But I wanted more.

The Strategy Behind 900

Reaching 900 attack power wasn't just about grinding through New Game Plus cycles. It required a deliberate approach:

1. Equipment Optimization: I focused on gear that specifically boosted attack stats

2. Selective Upgrading: Rather than spreading resources across multiple weapons, I channeled everything into my favorite staff

3. Will Point Distribution: Prioritizing attack-enhancing skills in the skill tree

4. Boss Farming: Some bosses drop rare materials needed for the highest-tier upgrades

My typical day involved targeting specific areas that offered the best materials-to-time ratio. The Painted Realm became my second home - I could navigate its treacherous paths blindfolded by my sixth playthrough.

Sometimes I wonder if I've spent too much time in this digital world. My gaming setup has seen more of me than my actual bed in recent months. Energy drinks and late-night gaming sessions became the norm as I pushed through my seventh playthrough.

The Community Reaction

When I posted my achievement on Reddit with the simple caption "900 attack. Somebody top it," I didn't expect the reaction I received. Some players were in awe, others skeptical, and a few veterans noted that even with 900 attack, certain endgame bosses remained challenging.

One comment stuck with me: "Great number, but can you beat the Jade Emperor without taking damage?" Challenge accepted.

The truth is, raw attack power isn't everything in Black Myth: Wukong. The game rewards skill, timing, and strategy above all. My 900 attack certainly makes things easier, but it doesn't make me invincible.

Was It Worth It?

By my calculations, I've spent approximately 245 hours reaching this milestone. That's roughly 7 complete playthroughs, each taking around 35 hours.

Is it accessible to everyone? Absolutely. Does it require dedication? Undoubtedly.

The beauty of Black Myth: Wukong is that it respects player investment. Every hour spent feels rewarding, every stat point earned feels meaningful. The game never artificially caps your growth - it simply asks if you're willing to put in the work.

What's Next?

With the recent January 2025 update adding new endgame content and the rumored expansion on the horizon, my 900 attack power will soon be tested against fresh challenges. There are whispers in the community about hidden bosses that scale to player stats, ensuring even the mightiest warriors face worthy opponents.

Some players have reported reaching 1000+ attack, though verification has been scarce. Perhaps that's my next mountain to climb.

For those inspired to follow this path, remember:

• Focus on consistent progress rather than rushing

• Learn boss patterns thoroughly to minimize deaths

• Join the Discord community for build advice

• Don't neglect defensive stats entirely

The journey to 900 attack power transformed how I play games. It taught me patience, persistence, and the satisfaction of setting seemingly impossible goals. Whether you're just starting your journey as The Destined One or already deep into New Game Plus cycles, remember that every legend begins somewhere.

And as Sun Wukong himself might say, even the mightiest journey begins with a single step... and a really good staff. 🐒✨
