Learn how to transform into a cicada in Black Myth: Wukong and discover other unique abilities in this action-packed game.
Black Myth: Wukong offers a gameplay experience where you can transform into different creatures. One of the most interesting transformations is turning into a cicada. This ability lets you fly around and avoid enemies easily. But how exactly do you become a cicada in Black Myth: Wukong?
The cicada transformation happens automatically at a specific point in the game. You’ll get this ability when you reach the Outside the Forest Keeper’s Shrine in Chapter 1. The Keeper will turn you into a golden cicada to help you get past the dangerous area ahead.
As a cicada, you can fly freely and ignore the enemies below. This makes it easy to explore the area without fighting. It’s a great way to get past tough spots or just enjoy a bird’s eye view of the game world.

Unfortunately, you can’t turn back into a cicada after the first time. It’s a one-time ability that you get early in the game. Once it’s gone you won’t be able to use it again.
This might seem disappointing but it makes sense for gameplay balance. Being able to fly over everything and skip fights would make the game too easy.
While you can’t become a cicada again there are other cool transformations to unlock:
You usually get new transformations by beating bosses. Each one has unique abilities that can help in combat or exploration.
Even though the cicada form is brief it’s still a memorable part of Black Myth: Wukong. Make the most of it while you have it! And look forward to unlocking other transformations as you progress through the game.
