Black Myth Wukong has arrived, featuring around 100 unique bosses, not counting the Elite enemies that drop Spirits. While most of these bosses are relatively straightforward to defeat, only a handful present a real challenge and just a few will push you to the brink of madness. After defeating all the bosses and completing the game with both endings, I’m here to rank the toughest opponents. Without further delay, here are the 10 most challenging bosses in Black Myth Wukong.
Honorable Mentions: A few powerful bosses narrowly missed making the list. Here’s a quick shoutout to them — Wandering Wight, Yellow Wind Sage, and Yellowbrow.
10.Tiger Vanguard
Tiger Vanguard serves as the first significant skill check in Black Myth Wukong and is a crucial boss in Chapter 2.He resides in the Crouching Tiger Temple, guarding a crucial item needed to unlock the path to the Yellow Wind Sage boss fight.
Tiger Vanguard is incredibly fast for an early-game boss, making it a tough challenge for players who haven’t yet mastered dodging. Overcoming this boss also grants the Rock Solid spell, which enables parrying. With that said, let’s dive into the list.
9.Kang-Jin Star
Kang-Jin Star, one of the main bosses in Chapter 3, delivers one of the most exciting boss fights in the game. She unleashes rapid lightning attacks that inflict the Shock bane, causing the player to take increased damage. With a full arsenal of melee, ranged, and AoE attacks, she poses a formidable challenge.
She’s also incredibly fast-paced, making her one of the toughest challenges in Chapter 3. Defeating her not only frees Wukong’s loyal companion, Zhu Bajie, but also unlocks the Kang-Jin Staff weapon in the craftable menu.
8. Mad Tiger
Mad Tiger is the most challenging boss in Chapter 2, making the Tiger Vanguard fight seem like a breeze by comparison. This boss battle is unlocked through the Old Rattle Drum secret quest, which begins after defeating the Tiger’s Acolyte.
Mad Tiger boasts a combination of fast and slow attack patterns designed to disrupt the player’s timing, and employs an unpredictable move set that utilizes stones to surprise and overwhelm. While this fight is notably tough for Chapter 2, it is outmatched by some of the more formidable bosses encountered later in the game.
7.Captain Lotus-Vision
Captain Lotus-Vision’s boss fight epitomizes the frustrations associated with the Pagoda Realm, widely regarded as the least favored area in Black Myth: Wukong. Despite being a side boss, defeating him is necessary to complete the Prisoner questline in Chapter 3, which subsequently unlocks the Chu Bai Spear in the craftable menu.
This boss presents a significant challenge for Chapter 3 due to its reliance on ranged attacks, frequent teleportation, and high damage output. It also possesses a few one-shot attacks that are difficult to dodge. Moreover, the unique life drain mechanic of the Pagoda Realm adds an extra layer of difficulty, making this boss fight even more challenging.
6.Scorpion Lord
Scorpion Lord, a secret boss in Chapter Four, becomes available after advancing the Venom Daoist questline to access the Purple Cloud Mountains. This boss is extremely aggressive, relentlessly attacking with nearly endless combos.
The toughest aspect of this battle is the Scorpion Lord’s delayed poison attacks, which inflict heavy damage while also poisoning the player.
5.Yaksha King
Yaksha King is the second phase of the Red Boy boss fight, marking the final challenge in Chapter 4. Once transformed into Yaksha King, his attacks become significantly faster and more unpredictable, dealing massive damage while frequently inflicting the Burning bane.
The most challenging aspect of this boss fight is his spinning attack, which he unleashes when his health drops to around 50%. If not dodged correctly, this attack can nearly one-shot players, making the Chapter 4 final boss one of the toughest opponents in Black Myth Wukong.
4.Yin Tiger
Yin Tiger is a secret boss in Black Myth Wukong, accessible in Chapter 3. To unlock this fight, you must first obtain the Ruyi Scroll by completing the Chen Loong questline, which includes defeating the formidable Chen Loong. Once you have the Ruyi Scroll, you can visit Zodiac Village, where Yin Tiger awaits, ready for a challenging battle.
Yin Tiger is an extremely challenging boss, known for his relentless parrying abilities and swift teleportation attacks. His aggressive combat style makes it tough for players to keep up. Defeating him grants you the Ebon Flow transformation and the Iron armor set. Additionally, Yin Tiger, being a blacksmith, allows you to upgrade your armors and unlocks a Curio slot upon defeat.
3.Yellow Loong
Yellow Loong is the final boss in the Loong questline and appears after you have defeated all the other Loong bosses in Chapter 4. To unlock the secret ending of Black Myth: Wukong, you need to defeat him. Yellow Loong is one of the toughest opponents in the game, progressively increasing the complexity and frequency of his attacks as his health diminishes.
He also inflicts the Shocked Bane with nearly every attack, causing players to suffer double damage. This boss demands a high level of skill, requiring mastery of his complex attack patterns to overcome him. Defeating Yellow Loong grants the Golden Lining transformation.
2.The Great Sage’s Broken Shell
The Great Sage’s Broken Shell is the final boss in Black Myth: Wukong and serves as the second phase of the Stone Monkey fight. In this encounter, the boss transitions into prime Wukong during the second phase. This battle is widely regarded as the most well-choreographed boss fight in the game.
This boss showcases every skill of Wukong and can make players feel utterly outmatched, with its impressive reactive attacks. For instance, it can effortlessly deflect a Pillar Stance heavy attack and toss it aside or immobilize players attempting to heal, highlighting its formidable prowess.
1.Erlang, the Sacred Divinity
Erlang the Sacred Divinity is the ultimate secret boss in Black Myth Wukong. To unlock this challenging encounter, players must complete the Loong questline, defeat the Stone Monkey, and then return to the Great Pagoda in Chapter 3. Following these steps will reveal the path to Mount Mei, where Erlang awaits.
Erlang is the toughest boss in Black Myth: Wukong, featuring four distinct phases, a massive health pool, and a shield that reduces incoming damage. Additionally, the Transformation spell is ineffective in this battle, and Erlang can even use the Immobilize spell against players.
But that’s not all; Erlang also features an intense chain of attack combos that escalate as the fight goes on. He unleashes nearly one-shot ranged attacks, fires lasers from his eyes, and employs a variety of devastating grab attacks.
Defeating Erlang, the Sacred Divinity, will require you to use every bit of skill and strategy you have mastered. After this grueling battle, players face an epic showdown with the Four Heavenly Kings and a colossal Erlang Shen. Overcoming Erlang Shen unlocks the secret ending cutscene, which is triggered after a second victory over the Stone Monkey. This final boss rewards players with the Azure Dome Transformation spell and the Tri-Point Double-Edged Spear.
