Many of Black Myth: Wukong 's Yaoguai Chiefs are the game's mini-bosses, so they put up much more of a fight than Lesser Yaoguais. Others may appear in the game but don't technically serve as a boss fight, like the Feng-Tail General. Furthermore, not all of Black Myth: Wukong 's Yaoguai Chiefs are mentioned in Journey to the West , like the Flint Chief and Commander Beetle, and are instead products of Game Science's approach to Eastern mythology. The following make up the majority of Black Myth: Wukong 's 55 Yaoguai Chi
Not every yaoguai in Black Myth: Wukong is pulled straight from Journey to the West , as some were simply inspired by the rich tapestry of Eastern mythology that the game relies on to fill in the holes left by the 500-year time gap between it and the novel. However, almost every major boss in the game is one of the yaoguais that Sun Wukong originally encountered in Journey to the West , and Black Myth: Wukong 's artistic recreation of those yaoguais realizes them in a way that has never been done before. In their appearances, personalities, and skills, each yaoguai boss in Black Myth: Wukong gives players a firsthand look at what it might have been like for Sun Wukong in Journey to the We
This is largely the story for the major yaoguais in Black Myth: Wukong , as each one has been adapted from the novel to become a highly formidable foe and give players a brief and often frustrating glimpse into what the legendary Sun Wukong 's legendary battles might have been like. Many of Black Myth: Wukong 's lesser yaoguais have also been inspired by the whole of Eastern mythology, although some are direct references to those Sun Wukong encounters in Journey to the West . Each of these yaoguais is modeled after their descriptions that have been passed down for thousands of years, and now Game Science has brought them to life in a video game unlike many others availa
Medicines are not to be confused with drinks, consumables, or your Healing Gourd used to recover health during fights. While those items could cure poison in Black Myth: Wukong or help you recover from other ailments, medicines provide stat boosts . There are two types of medicines - normal Medicine which gives you temporary stat increases, and Celestial Medicine which makes those improvements perman
For example, Black Myth: Wukong 's first major boss is the Black Wind King yaoguai, whose features, weapon, and skillset are all inspired by the Black Wind Demon that Sun Wukong battles in Journey to the West . The battle with the red boy black myth wukong Wind King in Black Myth: Wukong takes place in two parts — one against his human form and the next against his bear form. In his human form, the fierce foe wields a large Black Tassel Spear and can summon and control powerful winds that can briefly stun players who get caught in them. He is incredibly fast, and the first boss players may have an unexpectedly difficult time fighting. All of this is reminiscent of the same character from Journey to the West , but never has he been shown in this li
Black Myth: Wukong 's Yaoguai Kings make up the game's most challenging boss fights , although very few are friendly like the Bull King. They are also unique in that almost every one of them is mentioned at some point in Journey to the West . While there are a total of 26 Yaoguai Kings in Black Myth: Wukong , the following comprise the best p
Luckily, the wait is over, as Black Myth: Wukong has finally been released, and it immediately received all kinds of praise from both critics and gamers alike. That said, there are many misconceptions and issues that have arisen since the title's release that should be addressed. As such, here are some things to know before picking up Black Myth: Wuko
However, this title is considerably more lenient with mistakes and dying than any of FromSoftware's games. For one, dying doesn't result in players losing their entire skill point pool. Also, upgrading and leveling up is possible from anywhere in the world, not just at rest spots. On top of that, bosses, while challenging, aren't as frustrating or hard to master as those in the Souls series. Weapon variety also matters when determining whether a game is a Soulslike or not. The Destined One's staff is fun to use, and it's a great weapon once mastered, but unlike the Souls series' games, Black Myth: Wukong has no other weapons to choose fr
Yaoguais toe the line between being human and non-human in their appearance and stature. Generally written into stories as antagonists, their existence is largely inspired by the fear of the unknown. Every enemy and boss in Black Myth: Wukong is a yaoguai that possesses supernatural abilities like shapeshifting , creating illusions, and causing disease or poisoning, and each of them takes on a form that is a blend of both the natural and the unnatural. Very infrequently are they the protagonists of a story, except characters like Sun Wukong, the Monkey King from Journey to the West who Black Myth: Wukong 's Destined One is based on and who is also technically a yaoguai himself — though he is known to use the term in a derogatory manner to insult his f
