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

Black Myth: Wukong is packed full of over 170 interesting yaoguais for players to encounter, many of which have been adapted from Journey to the West while others are inspired by Eastern mythology. Exploring every nook and cranny in Black Myth: Wukong can lead to the discovery of each of these fascinating yaoguais, where players can get a firsthand look at Game Science’s representation of ancient Chinese cult

While this isn’t the best option against enemies that use ranged attacks, most opponents in Black Myth: Wukong deal damage close up, so this is one of the best Spirits to cultivate. If you can keep enemies or bosses close to you by staying near your staff and not moving too much, other than when you need to dodge, you can deal devastating damage, all while your maximum Mana is increa

The Old Monkey explains that this is the shell of Sun Wukong, and that the Destined One will need to defeat his body and inherit his soul in order to become his successor, after which the journey will begin anew. The implication here seems to be that, in the world of Black Myth: Wukong , there is no one Monkey King, and Sun Wukong is repeatedly killed and reincarnated by his successors . The entirety of Journey to the West and Black Sun: Wukong seem to repeat themselves in a kind of time loop. The Destined One will become the new Sun Wukong, rule over the monkeys of Mount Huaguo, and eventually die so another Destined One can take o

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
