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 Game Awards Controversy 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
Unlike the Whiteclad Noble boss in Black Myth: Wukong , the Wandering Wight can be skipped for a time until you grow stronger. The first time you see the Wandering Wight , you might be transformed into a cicada and can easily pass the Yaoguai without it noticing you. However, you’ll want to return to this enemy before reaching Chapter 2 due to the rewards it drops when defea
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

Yaoguai is more of a concept than anything else, with its origins tracing back to ancient China where belief in supernatural beings was a significant part of religion and culture. For thousands of years, yaoguais have infiltrated various Eastern mythology-inspired media, with Black Myth: Wukong being the most recent. As the yaoguais play such an important role in the story and world of Black Myth: Wukong , it’s worth diving into what they truly are and how Game Science has realized the concept in its highly anticipated game based on the journey of the Monkey K
After defeating the Black Wind King, you’ll be able to complete some other stuff before heading up the mountain to defeat him in his final form as Black Bear Guai.

While yaoguais have been written into many stories throughout the lifespan of Eastern mythology, their most notable appearance is perhaps in Journey to the West . However, this also means that they take on a prominent role in Black Myth: Wukong , since the game is based on the events, characters, and locations found in the novel. As players go on this familiar yet fresh journey with the Destined One to discover his true purpose and identity, they will come face-to-face with countless fearsome yaoguais, many of whom fill the role of Black Myth: Wukong ‘s challenging boss
