Four Banes

The Four Banes are the four elemental status effects in Black Myth: Wukong. They are Thunder, Scorch, Frost and Poison. When their gauges max out, corresponding damage will be taken. Players can fortify their resistance against the Four Banes to withstand Thunder, Scorch, Frost, and Poison Damage, reducing the damage taken when in these states.

Frost

Frost will cause the Frost gauge to build up. When maxed out, you will be in a Chilled state, rigid, and suffer frostbite. If shattered by an enemy, you'll take extra damage. Rolling (Dodging) or struggling can help you break free faster.

Scorch

Suffering from Scorch builds up on the Scorch gauge. When the gauge is maxed out, you will be in a Burnt state, leading to continuous health loss. Roll (dodge) on the ground multiple times to extinguish the fire, or roll into water or snow for an immediate effect.

Poison

Being exposed to Poison will cause the Poison gauge to build up. When the gauge is maxed out, you will be in a Poison state, causing internal distress and continuous Health loss. Using specific antidote pills can detoxify you and save your life.

Thunder

Being struck by Thunder attacks will cause the Thunder gauge to build up. When the gauge is maxed out, you will be in a Shocked state, with weakened bones and numbed muscles, increasing the damage received. This effect is 20% when applied to enemies. Consume shock-appeasing medicines to relieve its effects.
