It's no secret that Black Myth: Wukong has taken the gaming world by storm. Three days after its release on August 20, the game sold more than 10 million copies across PC and PS5. At the time of this article, Black Myth: Wukong stands as the No. 1 top seller on Steam , surpassing both Counter-Strike 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, with more than 328,000 positive reviews.

Zhu Bajie is yet another Character in Black Myth: Wukong with a boss-style health bar, and players will fight them twice near the Hut of Immortality Keeper's Shrine , a checkpoint that can be reached by following the path beyond the Lower Hollow Keeper's Shrine . The first encounter occurs in an arena to the right of the Hut of Immortality Keeper's Shrine. The second encounter occurs while following the path to the left of the Hut of Immortality Keeper's Shrine.

Much like how Black Myth: Wukong is rooted in Chinese mythology, 2018's God of War is inspired by Norse mythology. You'll explore six of the nine realms of Norse mythology -- Midgard, Alfheim, Helheim, Jötunheim , Niflheim and Muspelheim -- defeating bosses that range from Ancients to Valkyries along the way.

For anyone who doesn't fall in love with Ring of Fire Immobilize is likely the spell that the Destined One will rely on the most . Immobilize freezes enemies mid-combat, offering a brief window to deal some damage or simply get out of the way of oncoming attacks. As a strong option for both offense and emergency defense, going through a boss fight without using the spell at least once is usually a wasted opportun

As far as river dragon lore goes, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice will take you to Japan's Sengoku period, where you play Wolf, a shinobi whose duty is to protect his lord. Many of the creatures you'll face off against in Sekiro are inspired by yokai -- supernatural creatures and entities in Japanese mythology. There are also multiple locations in Sekiro that pay tribute to historic Japanese landmarks, like the Senpou Temple, based on the Kiyomizu-dera Buddhist temple in Kyoto.

Once you defeat the Stone Vanguard, you will receive the Sterness of Stone, three Silk, a Mind Core, and 1379 Will. You will also now be able to craft the Gale Guard Armor set. Wearing this set will provide you with bonuses for performing a perfect dodge.

Unlike many of the other games on this list, Elden Ring can also be played cooperatively: you can summon friends to help you defeat bosses or engage in PvP combat against other players. If you found yourself playing Black Myth: Wukong and thinking "this would be great to play with friends," then Elden Ring may be the perfect choice.

Players who want to battle this Yaoguai Chief in Black Myth: Wukong should first travel to the Verdure Bridge Keeper's Shrine . Here is a path that fans can use to travel from Pool of Shattered Jade Keeper's Shrine to that checkpoint:

This is a heavily combat-focused action game, but what really sets Nioh 2 apart is that each character is loosely based on a real-life figure from Japan's history. In fact, the main character -- that's the one you play -- is based on Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a warlord who unified the country in the 1500s. We say "loosely" because the history in this game is interwoven with the world of the supernatural.

This game, too, is set from a third-person perspective. In combat, you switch between different stances depending on the type of enemy you're playing against, as well as a "ghost stance" that makes you invincible for a short period of time. Throughout the map, you'll find various Shinto shrines (similar to Black Myth's Keeper's Shrines) that grant you various buff charms and Inari shrines, which will increase the number of buff charms you can have equipped.

Players can battle this boss by climbing the stairs next to the Bounds of Deity’s Abode Keeper's Shrine and breaking the barrels on the ground next to the house that they encounter. Here is a path that fans of games with RPG elements can use to travel from the Valley of Blooms Keeper's Shrine to this checkpoint:

While A Pluck of Many is undoubtedly one of the strongest offensive spells in the game, it comes at a high cost and has a long casting time, so players must be careful to avoid being interrupted during the process. Additionally, the AI controlling the duplicates can be unreliable at times, with some freezing in place instead of attacking. Moreover, not every boss is easily distracted by duplicates; some will continue to target the Destined One unless the player maintains distance. To unlock this spell, players must defeat the Tiger Vanguard boss at the Crouching Tiger Temple in Chapter 2 and then discover a hidden passage beneath a pool of bl

Avoiding the blood darts is easy as you simply have to dodge them repeatedly . Dodging the shockwave is tricky as it requires precise timing. Make sure you’re not standing on any puddle of blood on the ground as the shockwave will cause the blood to explode, dealing additional damage.
