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 .

But **whether this is actually a " good " ending is certainly up for debate ** .

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.
