Chitin Staff
Rarity | Attack | Critical Hit Chance | Unique Effects |
Epic | 80 | 5% | Upon a successful hit with charged Heavy Attack, each Focus Point cost slightly recovers health. |
The Chitin Staff, though classified as an Epic weapon, can be more practical than some rarer weapons in Black Myth: Wukong. It doesn’t require players to complete complex side quests; instead, they just need to upgrade their Staff, a process that’s hard to miss as it’s part of crafting new weapons.
With an Attack power of 85 and a 7% increase in Critical Hit chance, the Chitin Staff is highly effective, particularly in the early chapters of the game. Players can equip it and proceed with confidence.
Golden Loong Staff
Rarity | Attack | Critical Hit Chance | Unique Effects |
Mythical | 109 | N/A | Moderately increases the Damage dealt by all Pillar Stance moves. A loong can be summoned to execute Thunder at the enemy at Pillar Stance Heavy Attacks that cost 3 or 4 Focus Points. |
The Golden Loong Staff is a powerful and highly sought-after weapon that players can acquire after encountering one of the secret bosses in the game. To obtain it, players must defeat the Yellow Loong, the fourth and final Loong boss, in Chapter 4.
After the challenging battle, the Yellow Loong drops the Golden Loong Staff, which has an Attack stat of 108. Its unique effect enhances the Pillar Stance by summoning a Loong to deal with thunder damage whenever multiple Focus Points are used. This can be particularly useful for inflicting the Shock status on enemies.
Spider Celestial Staff
Rarity | Attack | Critical Hit Chance | Unique Effects |
Legendary | 85 | 12% | Upon a successful hit with charged Heavy Attack, each Focus Point cost slightly recovers Health. In Poisoned State, hits inflict the enemy with Poison Bane. |
The Spider Celestial Staff is a Legendary weapon that players can craft at a Keeper’s Shrine. While it’s a powerful weapon, unlocking its full potential can be challenging. It boasts 85 Attack and a 12% Critical Hit Chance.
Its unique effect lets players regain some health when using a Charged Heavy Attack. Additionally, if the player is poisoned, their attacks will transfer the Poison effect to enemies. Although this ability is useful, relying on being poisoned makes it less practical during prolonged battles.
Tri-Point Double-Edged Spear
Rarity | Attack | Critical Hit Chance | Unique Effects |
Mythical | 135 | 6% | Integrate spear techniques into Light Attack Combo and increases the Damage dealt by Thrust Stance moves; Upon performing Forceful Thrust shoots swords from the staff to attack. |
The Tri-Point Double-Edged Spear is a Mythical weapon that players can acquire by defeating Erlang Shen and the four Heavenly Kings. To trigger this fight, players must complete the secret areas in Chapters 1, 2, 4, and 5, along with finishing the Treasure Hunter’s side quest.
After completing these tasks and defeating the enemies, players can obtain the spear, which boasts an Attack stat of 135 and boosts Critical Hit chance by 6%. It also lets players shoot swords at enemies when performing a Forceful Thrust and enhances damage from Thrust-type moves. This weapon is available without needing to start New Game+.
Chu-Bai Spear
Rarity | Attack | Critical Hit Chance | Unique Effects |
Epic | 75 | N/A | Integrate spear techniques into Light Attack Combo and increases the Damage dealt by Thrust Stance moves. |

The spear boasts strong attack power and can be used at a distance, giving players an advantage in fights.
It also generates seismic shockwaves with charged attacks, hitting multiple enemies in a line—making it great for crowd control. Additionally, each successful hit boosts the player’s focus, enabling quicker spellcasting and enhanced abilities.
Visionary Centipede
Rarity | Attack | Critical Hit Chance | Unique Effects |
Epic | 90 | 10% | Upon a successful hit with charged Heavy Attack, each Focus Point cost slightly recovers health. |
The Visionary Centipede Staff can be crafted after advancing through the story and unlocking it as an upgrade to the Chitin Staff. To craft it, players should head to the Keeper’s Shrine and check the “Craft Weapons” section to ensure they meet the necessary requirements.
This weapon boasts a strong Attack of 90 and boosts Critical Hit chances by 10%. Additionally, landing a Charged Heavy Attack restores some health, with even more recovery if the enemy is poisoned.
Spikeshaft Staff
Rarity | Attack | Critical Hit Chance | Unique Effects |
Legendary | 80 | N/A | Continuously gains Focus for a brief moment after Seeing Through the enemy. |
The Spikeshaft Staff is ideal for players seeking a focus-based build in Black Myth: Wukong. As a legendary weapon, it allows you to continuously gain focus for a short period after “seeing through” an enemy.
This staff also enables fast charging, boosting your combat abilities. Focus points are essential for activating skills and tactics, and with the Spikeshaft Staff, you can maintain focus by consistently hitting, charging, dodging perfectly, and seeing through enemies, ensuring you never run low on focus.
Staff of Blazing Karma
Rarity | Attack | Critical Hit Chance | Unique Effects |
Legendary | 100 | N/A | Charged Heavy Attacks in Smash Stance that cost over 3 Focus Points inflict a bursting lava effect on the ground. |
The Staff of Blazing Karma may not hit as hard as the Bishui Staff or other weapons, but it has a unique feature that makes it useful even in the late game. Along with its base damage, its charged attacks can cause Burn damage, which, like Poison, gradually reduces a boss’s health over time. Additionally, the Staff provides a passive boost to the Destined One’s Defense and Burn Resistance.
You can craft the Staff of Blazing Karma in Black Myth: Wukong’s Chapter 5 (Flaming Mountain), after defeating the Keeper of Flaming Mountains and the Yin-Yang Fish.
Stormflash Loong Staff
Rarity | Attack | Critical Hit Chance | Unique Effects |
Mythical | 140 | 9% | Draws Thunder while charging, and inflicts Thunder Damage with every staff attack when in Shocked State. |
The Stormflash Loong Staff stands out as the most powerful weapon in Black Myth: Wukong, primarily due to its immense damage potential and exceptionally high Critical Chance. This staff is particularly effective because a majority of your attacks will result in Critical Hits, making it a go-to weapon for maximizing damage output. Most attacks with this staff result in Critical Hits, especially when paired with the Yakshasa armor set, unlocked after Chapter 5 (Flaming Mountain). It also deals Thunder damage, which reduces enemy Qi and staggers them easily, though this effect only occurs with charged-heavy attacks.
Once fully charged, the staff temporarily gains Thunder, allowing elemental attacks with light strikes or combos. The only drawback is that it becomes available only in New Game+ after defeating the 3 secret Loongs in the early chapters.
Jingubang Staff
Rarity | Attack | Critical Hit Chance | Unique Effects |
Mythical | 135 | 6% |
The gauge of the 4th Focus Point no longer depletes over time Heaven’s Equal:
|
In Black Myth: Wukong, one of the most iconic and powerful weapons, Sun Wukong’s very own Jingubang Staff, remains unobtainable until the final chapter of the game. This legendary weapon holds significant importance in the lore and gameplay, but players will need to traverse the dangerous landscapes and overcome numerous challenges before they can wield it. To obtain the staff, players must defeat four bosses in Chapter 6: Gold Armored Rhino, Cloudtreading Deer, Feng-Tail General, and Emerald-Armed Mantis.
The Jingubang has an Attack power of 135 and boosts Critical Hit Chance by 6%. When paired with Sun Wukong’s Armor, landing a critical hit reduces spell cooldowns, and the fourth Focus Point gauge remains stable without depleting over time.
