The atmosphere in the deserts of Chapter 2 could easily be quite draining during your journey as The Destined One, but that's why it's so great that you have the Headless Monk to add some levity to the chapter's darker mome
The most recent Journey to the West video game adaptation as of this writing is Black Myth: Wukong , which provides an alternate epilogue to the tale. Here, Wukong rejects the offer of immortality after his pilgrimage and is punished by Heaven for doing so by being sealed in stone. Since then, monkeys from Mount Huaguo have ventured out to try to revive him by collecting the 6 Relics he divided his spirit into. The latest one, armed with a staff like Wukong, is known only as The Destined
A simple quest tracker or log to keep track of active side quests would be a helpful addition to Black Myth: Wukong . It would make it easier to follow up on any NPCs worth revisiting and ensure that players don't miss out on crucial rewards. There's really no reason for the game not to have
By holding your Heavy Attack key binding, you can use the Blow Fire ability, spewing scorching flames and dealing Fire-based damage on enemies. What's more, upon De-Transforming, your shapeshifted form will explode, which will deal massive AoE Fire damage. These effects make this Transformation a deadly Spell, even against bosses in Black Myth: Wuko
It turns the story into a Donkey Kong Country -esque platformer with Prince of Persia puzzle-solving, where players can switch between Sanzang, Wukong, Kihong (Bajie), and Sandmonk (Wujing) on the fly. That way, they can switch between their different skills and abilities (gliding, double jumping, etc.) to navigate various obstacles. It’s a fun little game that fell under the radar for many, but it delivers a strong showing through its deep ties to Journey to the We
Sanzang is supposed to be a male monk, but because of the Japanese translation’s ambiguous use of gender, he’s often turned up in their media as a woman, be it as Dragon Ball ’s Bulma, Warriors Orochi 3 ’s Sanzang, or in the 1978 Monkey series. This show actually made it abroad to the West, where Ninja Theory continued the trend for Enslaved: Odyssey to the We
To unlock Sanzang in WO3 , players follow the monkey-ish Hideyoshi Toyotomi and pig-like buffoon, Goemon, as they search for treasure. Instead, they get Sanzang, who aids them against the demonic hordes. Their arguing and clumsy scheming even reminds her of her old adventures with Bajie and Wukong. Nezha also makes his playable debut, though he originally came from an older story before turning up in Journey to the W
Black Myth: Wukong isn't a true soulslike game , but rather an action-RPG that borrows several familiar elements. However, sometimes this borrowing doesn't fully work. FromSoftware's games are known for their cryptic NPC quests that are almost impossible to decipher without a guide. Many games that follow the soulslike formula have adopted a similar approach, Black Myth: Wukong included. Although there aren't too many side quests in the game, the ones that exist are definitely worth completing , as they offer valuable rewards, including new spe
Where it becomes slightly tricky to use, is its self-wounding, self-healing mechanic. The Self-Torment ability allows you to wound yourself, which slightly depletes your HP, but at the same time, this imbues your blade with up to four Larv
Throughout the story of Black Myth: Wukong, we hear a lot about the legendary hero Sun Wukong, to the point that if you weren't paying that much attention, you might assume that you were playing as
It has inspired a wide range of media, from books, shows, and movies to comics and video games — though some games are closer to the legend than others. Whether they let players control Wukong and co. themselves, or pit them against Sanzang’s guardians, these are the best games inspired by Journey to the We
After defeating Lingxuzi , the final boss of the Forest of Wolves region, and crossing through the courtyard, you will encounter another Keeper’s Shrine. This shrine marks the starting point of Bamboo Grove, the second area of Black Wind Mountain (Chapter 1).
When you reach a fork in the path, take the left route to find the third Meditation Spot. Interact with it and open the golden box on the table. The box will reward you with a Celestial Taiyi Pill , which permanently increases your Mana . Now, take the previously ignored right path and continue along the linear route. Eventually, you will reach another Keeper’s Shrine. Congratulations, you have now completed the Bamboo Grove and are at the beginning of Black Wind Cave.
Interact with the Back Hills Keeper’s Shrine and rest to regain your health, mana, and gourd . Afterward, proceed down the stairs, but instead of moving forward, take the narrow path to your left and head into the cave.
It's such a shame, that unless you know where to look, it's actually quite easy to miss Chen Loong in Black Myth: Wukong, but if you have your eyes on the ocean by the Bitter Lake, then you'll run into (as well as aggro) this overwhelmed dra
