Black Myth: Wukong - A Deep Dive Into The Yaoguai

From WarhammerWorkshop


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


Black Myth: Wukong 's respecification feature is free for a reason — it's often a player's only option for finally defeating an otherwise insurmountable boss. In light of that, players shouldn't shy away from respecifying their skill points, or, as the game calls it, "Reignite the Sparks." This can be done at any Keeper's Shrine via the "Self-Advance" tab, either Spark-by-Spark or a complete reset of all skill poi

Black Myth Wukong Crafting Guide Myth: Wukong has a ton of different mechanics, some of which can be overwhelming for players who are new to such a kind of game. So, this part of the guide hub will help players get the hang of the basic things in the game.

The Steel Ginseng Soak grants you focus whenever you take a sip, helping you to pull out variable combos and heavy attacks more frequently. That said, you're pretty unlikely to need this in most situations since the Destined One gains focus pretty quickly anyway, as long as you're dodging with good timing and landing some light combos.

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
