There are ten different spells that let you change into different creatures in Black Myth: Wukong. Some of these spells are hard to find, and you need to do special things to unlock them. Each creature has its own strengths and weaknesses, and it takes practice to learn how to use them well. Some creatures have special abilities that you can activate by building up Focus.
