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
Fast-travel to the 'Outside the Forest' Keeper's Shrine and follow the path, making a left by the two wolf enemies. Continue up this path until you see it split, with one way leading to a wooden bridge and the other veering left. Following the left path, continue past two wolves wielding swords until you reach a lake with a waterfa
Similarly to how players acquire the Boshan Censer Curio, players need the same Loong Scales obtained from the hidden cave in Sandgate Village. You will then be able to face the secret optional Yaoguai King, Black Loong, in the Hidden Loong Cav
In the Yellow Wind Ridge region of Black Myth: Wukong 's second chapter, you'll find the Rockrest Flat at the second fast-travel location under Fright Cliff. Once you teleport to this shrine, you can defeat the enemies and then respawn them using the Shrine. Rinse and repeat these steps until you have the Silk you need to craft the armor you're going
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
Almost every armor set in Black Myth: Wukong takes Silk, so you will almost always need some in your inventory as you play. As mentioned above, these armor sets usually give you an advantage in the area you're in, so crafting new sets as they're unlocked will help you progress a bit easier.

Another feature of Black Myth: Wukong that generally leads to other games being classified as a Soulslike is its enemy respawn mechanics. As it is with any true Soulslike game, when players rest to recover their health at a Keeper's Shrine in Black Myth: Wukong , all the enemies in the world will respawn, meaning players should be strategic with their rest peri
Another great find in Chapter 1, Boshan Censer, is a Curio that many players can miss, as it is only acquired by taking down a secret boss in Black Myth: Wukong . This Curio provides you with considerable Damage Reduction, specifically when your Gourd's use has been deplet
Defeating the warrior with a snake's face and progressing further will lead you to the Guangmou Boss Battle, but to find Baw-Li-Guhh-Lang, you’ll have to go in the opposite direction from the Snake-like warrior until you reach an open pond. Baw-Li-Guhh-Lang will be waiting for you there.
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
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
To reach this area, start from the 'Rockrest Flat' Keeper's Shrine in the Fright Cliff region, and head up the crumbled staircase, towards the waterfall, being mindful of the formidable Spearbone that hides around the corner. Continue up and interact with the waterfall to pass through it, gaining entry to the large boss ar
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 Black 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
