Black Myth: Wukong parry – How to get the Rock Solid spell

When you begin your journey in Black Myth: Wukong, you’re taught a bunch of different mechanics to get you by.

However, parrying is not one of them and that’s because it’s not something you have, it’s something you learn – a spell.

This is called the Rock Solid spell and to get it, you’ll have to progress through the game a little.

You will receive the Rock Solid spell in Chapter 2 from the headless bard after beating the Tiger Vanguard boss in the Crouching Tiger Temple. This is a mandatory boss so technically you can’t miss the chance to learn the parry spell.

You’ll then need to equip and use it but since it is an Alteration spell, you will have to sacrifice another in that slot such as Cloud Step, so keep that in mind.

One other thing to note is that since it is a spell it costs 30 Mana to use and has a cooldown of 15 seconds, meaning you can’t exactly spam it and instead, you’ll have to use parrying somewhat sparingly.

It can be upgraded though, with perks such as Rapid Return and Rock Mastery which allow the spell to be canceled when you like as well as reducing the cooldown, benefitting its usage greatly.
