Black Myth: Wukong is a new, somewhat soulslike RPG inspired by the Chinese myth of Sun Wukong, the main character of the 16th-century novel " A Journey to the West ." In both the novel and the game, Wukong is a martial artist and hero of incredible skill, and in the game is tasked with retrieving lost relics. Black Bear Guai is one of many adversaries that stand in your way in this task , and defeating him will take more than just l

Other than the leaping attack, Phase One of this fight will see him mostly just swiping at you with his claws like any other bear would. He'll sometimes throw a stomp in there, but no matter his attack pattern, your only real window for attack is between his combos. His hits come so quickly that attacking while he's in a combo will almost always result in an interruption rather than good damage for you, so waiting between combos might be the safer and more consistent cho

Another, perhaps even better, ranged Spirit option is Rat Archer, which also allows players to deal damage from a safe distance . By defeating a Rat Archer in Chapter 2, you will gain the attack that is most frustrating to ev

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
