Erlang will then transform into a giant, leonine beast, and the Destined One will need to defeat him in a one-on-one duel. Finishing this secret boss fight unlocks a new ending cinematic that opens with the Destined One kneeling before the Old Monkey, immediately after having defeated Sun Wukong. His eyes open widely as an animated scene begins, recapping highlights from Journey to the West in reverse order. This signifies the Destined One gaining Sun Wukong's memories , becoming the Monkey King in more than just n

Black Myth: Wukong may have some of the most defining characteristics of the Soulslike genre , but, at the end of the day, it is an action RPG through and through. The Soulslike genre is very strict with its set of rules, and if any of those rules are broken by a game, that game may lose its chance of being properly classified as a Soulslike. Even so, Black Myth: Wukong is just as difficult as a Soulslike game should be, so the tendency some have to refer to it as such makes perfect se

For instance, the Fireproof Mantle that you receive after defeating Elder Jinchi in the secret " Three Bells" quest in chapter one allows you to nullify all fire damage for a short time, giving you a distinct advantage when fighting Black Bear Guai at the chapter's end. Each area has a few armor sets to unlock, so make sure you explore as much as you can so you don't miss anything. As you play, take note of the enemies you fight, as they may come in handy when gathering materi

Dodging this attack from his front is difficult as you must dodge at the perfect time. However, if you manage to avoid the first attack and quickly sprint to its side , the boss will miss the entire combo.

Black Myth: Wukong _ 's story can be confusing right up to the very end. It's a reimagined version of the 16th-century Chinese novel _Journey to the West , which follows a ragtag group of misfits who escort the monk Tan Sanzang to the Buddhist heartlands in order to retrieve a series of sacred texts. Black Myth: Wukong picks up long after simian protagonist Sun Wukong has completed his journey and become a Buddha. He rejects his newfound status and returns to the mountain of his birth. Sun Wukong duels the god Erlang, who would force his return to the Celestial Court, and is once again sealed in a stone as punishm

If you’ve equipped some Legendary Gear Farming, such as the Pilgrim’s armor set which can be crafted at the Keeper's Shrine , you’ll be able to tank most of the attacks easily. Most attacks leave this boss completely open for your offense, if you’ve managed to successfully evade them, such as the Tongue Sweep Combo.

But **whether this is actually a " good " ending is certainly up for debate ** . In Journey to the West , Sun Wukong represents unrestrained desire, and his headband represents the temperance preached by Buddhism. To imperfectly equate them to Western concepts of psychology, Sun Wukong is the id, and the headband is the superego. It's thrust upon the Monkey King after a murderous rampage. For the Destined One, it symbolizes achievement, power, Buddhahood - but also a loss of free will. The previous Sun Wukong rejected this fate for a reason, and the reality may not be all too pleasant for the new one, eit

If you don't feel like fighting, you can always find Silk in shops, but it'll set you back 600 Will per piece. This cost makes buying Silk less worth your time, as your Will is better saved for other things. Don't waste your money on Silk when getting started. It is pretty easy to find as you can head to the Rockrest Flat to find Silk in the early hours of the g

The Copper Pill Soak can be found after defeating the Tiger Vanguard. You can find it in a container just down the path past the Tiger Vanguard Boss Room. (You can't miss it, it's the one with the blood pool) Take out the rat with the shield nearby and pop open the golden container to nab the Copper Pill .

The Laurel Buds are the first new soak in Chapter 2 and can be found in a container, in front of a statue on an altar, in Sandgate Village. A Rat Governor is guarding it , but that shouldn't be much of a problem as long as you get in close before it can start shooting lightning at you. Cloud Step will make it easy to get close. The closest Shrine to the soak is the Village Entrance Shrine. You can drop off the bridge just ahead of the shrine and head into the cave on the right, then up the stairs on the left side of the cave and follow the path into the village to find the Governor and the container with the soak inside.

Additionally, Black Myth: Wukong 's Cloud Step spell is a combat skill that can be useful outside of combat as well. If players feel like skipping enemy mobs or need to find a way past an otherwise impassable group of foes, Cloud Step will cause the Destined One to temporarily cloak himself so he can pass by without being seen. Finally, each of Black Myth: Wukong 's regions has a separate store from the rest, and players should revisit them, as well as any merchants in the world, regularly throughout the playthrough to take advantage of any new items they may be offer
