All bosses in Black Myth: Wukong & where to find them
Game ScienceBlack Myth: Wukong may not be a Soulslike game, but it does feature the same emphasis on mechanic-heavy bosses.
Sure, there’s exploration, powerful spells, weapons and armor upgrades, and potion-brewing, but at its heart, Black Myth: Wukong is all about its bosses, or Yaoguai’s. Players must defeat certain ones to progress through the game, while others grant some powerful rewards, or are just satisfying to kill.
All bosses
There are 91 bosses to defeat in Black Myth: Wukong and some can be much harder to find (and defeat) than others. Especially if you’re looking to get all the game’s achievements.
So, here’s all the bosses you can find and take down, as well as all the characters you can meet, and benefit from. Some grant spells, others grant new resources, and a few will have you coming back every time you can, just to buff your stats.
