Completing the epic journey of Black Myth: Wukong is only the beginning. For true disciples seeking greater challenges and hidden power, New Game+ beckons. By simply selecting 'Continue Journey' from the main menu, players retain their hard-earned arsenal – every weapon scraped from demon hides, every piece of armor imbued with ancient power, every curious trinket, and every life-saving gourd. This headstart is crucial, but choosing the right weapon for the amplified threats of NG+ is absolutely paramount. Honestly, stepping back into that world with your full power feels like finally unlocking your true potential; the enemies might hit harder, but so do you, and that power trip is real.

Unlocking God-Tier Power: NG+ Weapon Deep Dive

The Golden Loong Staff

• Acquisition: Crafted after defeating Cyan Loong in the New West.

• Stats: 108 Attack. Doesn't boost Critical Hit Chance.

• Unique Ability: Enhances damage from Pillar Stance moves. Consuming 3 or 4 Focus Points for a Heavy Attack in Pillar Stance summons a devastating Loong dealing Thunder damage.

• Synergy: Perfect for aggressive Pillar Stance users.

• NG+ Viability: A solid workhorse for your first NG+ run. Feels incredibly satisfying to unleash the Loong, like calling down divine wrath. However, its raw power starts feeling a bit lackluster by NG+2, where enemies become absolute tanks.

The Stormflash Loong Staff

• Acquisition: Crafted materials.

• Stats: Highest base Attack in the game. Boosts Critical Hit Chance by 9%.

• Unique Ability: Deals Thunder damage... but only while the player character is in the Shocked State.

• Synergy: Requires builds centered around self-inflicting Shock or exploiting environmental hazards. High risk, potentially high reward... emphasis on potentially.

• NG+ Viability: Honestly? This prerequisite is a major buzzkill and a total dealbreaker in NG+. Getting caught in Shocked State against beefed-up bosses is basically asking for a one-way trip back to the last save point. The raw damage is tempting, sure, but it's simply not worth the hassle in tough fights. Save yourself the frustration.

The Adept Spine-Shooting Fuban Staff (NG+ Exclusive!)

• Acquisition: Crafted exclusively in NG+ using Kun Steel, Sky-Piercing Horn (limited to 3 per run!), and Gold Tree Core. Requires defeating Fuban (Chapter 2 secret boss) and the missable Scorpionlord in Purple Cloud Mountain.

• Unique Ability: Successfully landing a Charged Heavy Attack shoots spines at nearby enemies and recovers Health based on the Focus Points consumed.

• Synergy: An absolute dream weapon when paired with the Centipede Armor set. The health recovery on heavy hits turns you into a surprisingly tanky dps monster.

• NG+ Viability: Top-tier. Farming the Sky-Piercing Horn is a grind, no cap, but the payoff is immense. This staff offers both offense and sustain, making it incredibly versatile for the grueling NG+ challenges.

The Tri-Point Double-Edged Spear

• Acquisition: Reward for defeating the incredibly powerful secret boss, Erlang Shen, atop Mount Mei.

• Unique Ability: Enhances Thrust Stance attacks. Forceful Thrusts release multiple swords to attack the enemy.

• Synergy: Tailor-made for Thrust Stance enthusiasts.

• NG+ Viability: Very strong and surprisingly easy to master. Its combination of good stats and a powerful, straightforward ability makes it a reliable and devastating choice. Taking down Erlang Shen is no joke, but wielding his spear feels like claiming a true trophy.

The Legendary Jingubang Staff

• Acquisition: Found in Chapter 6. Requires collecting all four pieces of Sun Wukong's armor set. Without the full set, the Destined One simply cannot pick it up!

• Unique Ability: Prevents the fourth Focus Point from depleting over time. Its true power is unlocked as the "fifth piece" of the Monkey King armor set.

• Synergy: Mandatory with the full Monkey King armor set.

• NG+ Viability: Solid on its own due to the Focus Point perk. However, pairing it with the Monkey King armor transforms it into a cornerstone of one of the game's most iconic and powerful builds. Finding all the armor pieces feels like uncovering sacred relics, and the payoff is divine.

The Dark Iron Staff (NG+ Exclusive Mythic!)

• Acquisition: Crafted in NG+ using the Bull King's Iron Horn (Mythic), Kun Steel (Mythic), and Golden Tree Core. Mythic resources are scarce, requiring dedicated foraging.

• Stats: 110 Attack.

• Unique Ability: Attack power scales based on the Destined One's Defense stat.

• Synergy: Becomes utterly god-tier when equipped with the Bull King's Armor Set, which massively boosts Defense.

• NG+ Viability: Don't let the base Attack fool you! This is the definition of a sleeper hit. The Bull King Armor + Dark Iron Staff combo creates an absolute powerhouse build where your Attack stat goes through the roof – seriously, off the charts! The trade-off? Kiss Perfect Dodges goodbye; you'll be tanking hits like a fortress. Farming for those Mythic mats is a slog, but oh boy, when you finally craft it and pair it up... the sheer power gave me chills. It's a different playstyle, but man is it effective.
