Spirit Guardian Brute Talisman (召将符)

The Spirit Guardian Brute Talisman (召将符 – Zhào Jiàng Fú) is Zhong Kui’s most powerful summoning art in Black Myth: Zhong Kui. By drawing a yellow cinnabar paper seal in mid-air, Zhong Kui tears open a dimensional underworld rift to manifest an armored spiritual brute into active combat.

Unlike automated pets in other ARPGs, this summon features Direct Spirit Possession (附身代控). Players can seamlessly transfer Zhong Kui’s consciousness into the monster’s body to execute crushing overhead hammer strikes and break boss poise.

Talisman Invocation: Calling Forth Underworld Spirits

Activating the seal channels Qi into the earth, manifesting the guardian entity with full combat aggression:

1. Talisman Activation

Consumes 3 Spirit Qi to inscribe the summoning seal in mid-air, opening a dimensional rift to the underworld.

2. Spirit Materialization

The summoned spirit manifests with its own independent health bar and combat aggression parameters.
