yahiko7701: “What type of power does wukong have?”

Yes.

icyrazor: I doubt anyone will see this but homeboy in the beginning is "Erlang Shen" aka the other baddest mfer to walk the planet other than Wukong himself.

He is the Jade Emperor's (Zeus equivalent in the Chinese pantheon) go-to headknocker.

Bit more extra context, before Wukong's Journey to the West, that man legitimately wanted ALL the smoke from everybody and WON until the supreme Buddha (creator of the universe more or less) intervened and humbled him along with the Goddess of Mercy who put the famous circlet on him. In short, Wukong was HIM

matthewgordon87: Note Afro: Wukong in the mythology throws hands with all the gods....just to piss them off

yiuhongfung3980: Chinese guy here, the story takes part after the Journey to the west so Wukong has fulfilled his destiny and become the Fighting Buddha. The developer adds a new storyline on how Wukong is bored of becoming a god and wants to get back to his mountain. Not original but certainly make sense. Your character is a brand new monkey who take the road Wukong did once again and search for his relics. Chinese ancient literature is very condensed language so sometimes it is hard to translate/ understand. Even we local people sometime hv difficulty reading it. I am happy to help for any question from this awesome monkey king game.

someguywithoutamustachestw4406: I can already feel the Elden Ring rage already

HalfBoiIed: People don't know how strong Sun Wukong really is. The guy fought Buddha. He tanks hits from literal gods. He is extremely feared and respected.

The voice is very fitting in English. Wukong has always had that kind of voice and tone.

abubakkar4499: Wukong is arguably the strongest fictional character there is. This dude got multiple layers of immortality and every single one of his hair can turn in a clone just as powerful as the original and those clones can make more clones. This just the base, he got even more power so, as much as I love Kratos, he is not winning against Wukong.

-TheRealAnimeFan-: First episode is already 10/10 anime of the year contender

alienstar2088: Some background on Sun Wukong:

He was a monkey who ate from the tree of immortality and obtained godly strength. For awhile he teamed with the other deities in their court and they effectively made Sun Wukong a secret weapon against various demonic threats. Sun Wukong shares Goku's lust for battle so when there wasn't a lot of demonic entities left he kinda just said "Fuck it" and decided to duke it out with the deities. I'm fairly certain that after this point he teams up with a Monk who helps Sun Wukong out and they travel to the West. Also pretty sure that along the way, Sun Wukong get's like.... eight different kinds of immortality so... yeah.

Also, fun fact: Sun Wukong's pole is just a pillar from a Dragon's house that he shrank down into a staff. The Dragon wasn't very happy with him but... not like the Dragon could really do anything against Sun.

Peter_ParkedCar: I don’t see enough people talk about the clouds moving with the characters’ movements and attacks like am I the only one that finds that hard asf?

Patrona054y: Who love AFROSENJI ??

duelangel5318: So the guy fighting wukong in the beginning is who tien is inspire by in dragonball. He has similar power set to wukong and is one of the few people that can best wukong. The head piece that was giving wukong a headache in the cutscene is used by his master in journey to the west to control wukong darker tendencies. Anyone that can recite the mantra for it can give wukong a headache, immobilizing him. Just a little info dump for anyone that wants to read this

Merco81: Afro, it should be pointed out that the prologue featured the OG Sun Wukong. The reason you didn't receive damage is because he's basically invulnerable and immortal. I highly recommend listening to the "Journey to the West" audible, it really is a great listen and won't spoil the story as the events of Black Myth Wukong happen after the story (recall how Wukong reflected that the master was safe and the scriptures are secured).

kennydo2182: The first boss is Erlang Shen, one of the god in heaven. He also has 72 transformation as Wukong. So, Wukong has 2 rivals that can match him are Natra and Erlang Shen

duskyer: This game has adaptive difficulty. Some bosses have a second phase, but they won't trigger unless you're really good and beat their first phase really quickly. Otherwise they'll just die normally. Really interesting way of handling difficulty.

DumboyMikey: Afro: Kratos Vs Sun Wuko-

Me: Don't even finish that sentence

ulrikahaggard9923: 4 YEARS!! I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS!!!!!!

unamusedrowlett6303: Adding some context to Wukong vs Kratos. You remember that part in Ragnarök during the fight with Thor where you get a fake game over? Wukong would've ate that hit 10x over and still take him on no difficulty. Wukong has 7 variations of immortality to the point where fighting him is flat out impossible. The only reason why Erlang Shen was able to best him was because of the circlet on his head that gives him an ear splitting headache when a chant is performed, one of the very few ways the gods in Chinese mythos can take on Sun Wukong without burying him in a mountain.

TheBlackShinigami: “He is challenging Gods!”

[currently watching and paused]

In lore, Wukong bested the entire army of Heaven and its Generals in combat and they had to get Erlang to come and beat him to which he couldn’t but had him on the ropes before Heaven intervened. This Wukong has already become a Budha and has made his journey…He has beaten Gods and demons feared by Gods and is stronger than he has ever been. As for the start of the video Afro! I am reading the novel and I recommend it!

Xelofrost: Hello people! Here to give some context on the beguinong of the game for whoever feels a bit lost, including Afro. This game is supposed to be after journey to the west, we don't play as Wukong, but a random monkey that is destined to bring Sun Wukong back, that's why we start like fodder after fighting Erlang (the other most powerfull warrior on the whole universe besides Wukong) If anyone wants to know more about the monkey king, please, feel free to ask.

And to answer the question about Kratos vs Wukong, yeah, Wukong would fold Kratos like and omelette so hard it wouldn't even be funny

AngelinaHickman-p8h: This game is legit. Stellar blade, shadow of the erd tree, and now this. We are winning

justgolden2808: This is the future Afro the monkey king has been sealed and his kin is on a quest to unleash him

chaoslord6957: To those who are out of the loop, we're playing as a "random" monkey who will "revive" or awake the OG Monkey King Sun Wukong.

From what I know this game takes place after the Journey of the West wherein Sun Wukong became buddha which is why there's no hp bar since he technically have multiple layers of immortality after his quest.

mello_blue8756: “Give me a health bar, I’m ready for the difficulty”. Famous last words

plp.expdus1465: In the story (journey to the west) the staff is a pillar that can change in size and he is the only one strong enough to pick it up. He shrinks it and puts it behind his ear

snowmon9214: Kratos has literally zero ways to get around Wukong’s MULTIPLE layers of immortality.

Wukong takes it

i_am_dusky113: People rly don’t realize how many anime’s have a character with inspiration from wukong, goku, 3rd hogake and his weapon, Luffy from one piece. So cool we can finally get a game that goes over wukong mythology

silentjunior1351: By the way Afro, after the tutorial it does take place in the future because the mountain is still in the same destroyed state that wukongs brother left it in.

maximillianoorosco-randhaw9336: The reason why Sun Wukong is confident is because he was able to beat the Divine Army no problem the first time they attacked him. When they attacked him a second time, that’s the three-eyed god(who Tien from Dragon Ball is inspired from) who is the Jade Emperor’s nephew, joined in along with his squad and dog. Sun Wukong would beaten the nephew as well, but TLDR, the nephew was just barely able to subdue the Monkey King with help due to luck.

MarkzKenji: Black myth wukong is finally here!

tangledfish: "All this because of a headache?" Bro that's like half the story of Journey To The West right there.

noelanicruz1929: The funny thing is, the invincible fighting Buddha a.k.a. the protagonist is multiple times immortal even after being hit with the furnace of immortality removal that’s not the official title. I just couldn’t think of the right term.

Maxjuliann: So many references in that beginning fight . And how the game gives you a glimpse of wukong at his strongest is very similar to god of war 2 when we start off as the god of war and Kratos then loses all his powers

chenchenwang-y7g: I think if people are willing to learn more about the Chinese history of Wukong, they will find this game more amazing.

Charmaine.D-rt7se: Bro is gonna have Rahdan flashbacks the moment he gets stuck on any boss

natoriousthehopeful2786: So the Promised Crashout begins his Journey to the West: this is gonna be good

S.CDRONE: It’s the future after wukong died but his mind reincarnated into the character you play has. And you go on the journey to take the title of son wukong. If I’m not wrong

JAS44404: Journey to the west is essentially the first mainstream anime, they have side characters (the pig Wukong references being one who inspired oolong in dragon ball) they fight a baddie every week to deliver buddas scrolls to India. The story capitalized on somehow subduing wukong and the side characters fight the baddies then wukong sweeps in the fight the main baddie (like many mainstream anime) there’s a point the characters split ways but ultimately if you look at it from an anime that’s wukong a story one piece, DBZ, so much. This is his tale after he achieved buddahood, after him and Tang Sanzang (really the main character but he’s boring just a monk that demons want to eat because he’s holy but he has to deliver Buddha scrolls to India and Sun Wokong was trapped in a stone for fighting all of heaven and being a lil rascal by Buddha EDIT also the headband is a something Buddha put on wukongs head after he trapped him, since wukong is immortal it’s the only thing that can hurt him when a certain prayer is said that Tang and Buddha know.) and other side character’s achieve buddahood by delivering his scrolls to India’s mythology, this is wukong’s black myth.

hapythots: in lore, wukong is him. basically does what he wants and bodies anyone that doesnt let him. if he cant body them he finesses them. if he cant do either, he plays jokes on them and leaves. and as he goes, he just goes up. the only thing that messes him up is his pride. but it always ends up working out for him in the end. dude is untamable.

abdalla8558: “Black myth wukong is a bad game” if this happens, these series would be fire guaranteed!

Raivon: People think Goku was a broken ass dude? Wukong was his inspiration, and Wukong was the guy that literally challenged all of heaven and almost won

pandoraswatcher9637: Missed a boss that gives you a transformation ability. Go left of the area you fought the baby boss.

thelukygamer17: I had some problems on that mini boss too, strangely enough it was harder than all the others and even the final boss (at least on that level, I just finished the first chapter in the woods). You should go back, you left one of the most useful powers behind, if you go right from the area of the mini boss you should find another zone with a bell and a guardian there
