Like most mechanics in Black Myth: WukongSpirits have their own upgrade track and materials. Go to any shrine and choose Cultivate the spirits option in the Self-Advancement menu. This will display a complete list of the Spirits you have collected. Each Spirit, both Rare and Epic, has six levels, and all start at level 1. Each upgrade level increases both their passive bonus and the power of their vigorous ability. However, it also increases the upgrade cost.
At first, most Spirits only require Willpower to upgrade. As their power grows, you will need additional resources, such as Blood of the Iron Bull which you can find from powerful enemies. The final levels require a resource called Knot of Voidness, which is extremely infrequent and can be found in several chests in Chapter 2 and later.
