Black Myth: Wukong - Top 10 Hardest Bosses Tier List

Black Myth: Wukong is the next big thing in gaming. Aside from the amazing storytelling and graphics, fans are raving about the variety of boss fights the game offers in each chapter. In this article, we will take a look at the hardest bosses to defeat in Black Myth: Wukong.

10. Tiger Vanguard

Location: Crouching Tiger Temple

Black Myth: Wukong players will run into the Tiger Vanguard in Chapter 2. Some say this is when the game really starts to get challenging. This boss can be found in the Crouching Tiger Temple, and it's known for its quick and powerful attacks. You'll need to polish your dodging mechanics for this one. Defeating the Tiger Vanguard not only progresses the story but also rewards players with the Rock Solid spell, which introduces the parrying mechanic. The Tiger Vanguard is the first significant challenge, but there are even harder bosses on this list.

9. The Mad Tiger

Location: Sandgate Village

The Mad Tiger is another Chapter 2 boss that is actually harder to beat than the Tiger Vanguard. You'll encounter this creature during the Rattle Drum secret quest. While the Tiger Vanguard focuses on dodging, the Mad Tiger demands precise timing and concentration.

8. Captain Lotus-Vision

Location: Pagoda Realm

Moving to Chapter 3, you'll stumble upon the side boss Captain Lotus-Vision in the Pagoda Realm. You'll need to be cautious of his ranged attacks and teleportation, which make it extremely difficult to land hits and get close. Captain Lotus-Vision also has several one-shot attacks that can be frustrating to dodge. The fight is further complicated by the life drain mechanic of the Pagoda Realm, making this battle a true endurance test.

7. Kang Jin Star

Location: Bitter Lake

The main boss of Chapter 3 earns the 7th place in our list of hardest boss fights. She has 2 phases, the second one offering evolved attacks, and she can transform into a stunning dragon. The combination of AoE, ranged, and melee attacks is quite difficult to handle. However, the fight is worth the effort, as you'll free Wukong’s companion, Zhu Bajie, and unlock the Kang-Jin Staff weapon.

6. Yellow Wind Sage

Location: Crouching Tiger Temple

The Yellow Wind Sage is definitely one of the toughest bosses to defeat in Black Myth: Wukong, being the final boss of Chapter 2. He uses both melee and wind magic attacks, making him a challenging foe. The speed at which you're attacked is insane, giving you no time to rest. Stay close to this boss, because his long-ranged attacks are very accurate and deadly!

5. Wandering Wight

Location: Forest of Wolves

This is the first optional boss in Black Myth: Wukong, and it's clear why—this challenge is insane for Chapter 1. Many players simply skip this boss fight due to his powerful AoE attacks. Here's a tip, if you manage to beat the Wandering Wight early in the game, before being able to absorb spirits, you can collect its spirit at the nearby shrine after obtaining that ability.

4. Yin Tiger

Location: Zodiac village

The Yin Tiger is a secret boss encountered in Black Myth: Wukong after unlocking the Ruyi Scroll in Chapter 3. This fight requires quick reflexes as the Yin Tiger uses teleportation and fast-paced parrying attacks. He also has an aggressive offensive style, making it difficult to keep up. Defeating the Yin Tiger grants players the Ebon Flow transformation and Iron armor set, along with access to upgrades from this blacksmith boss.

3. Yellow Loong

Location: Relief of the Fallen Loong

Yellow Loong is the final boss of the Loong questline and a gatekeeper to the game’s secret ending. This boss ramps up the difficulty with powerful chain attacks that increase in intensity as his health diminishes. He uses really powerful lightning attacks against you and can double the damage taken by players, making this fight one of the toughest in the game. Mastering Yellow Loong’s patterns is essential for victory.

2. Erlang, the Sacred Divinity

Location: Mount Mei

We've almost reached the end of our Black Myth: Wukong hardest bosses list. Erlang, the Sacred Divinity, takes second place. You'll unlock him after completing the Loong questline and defeating the Stone Monkey. Once you're done with that task, Erlang will be waiting for you in Mount Mei. This boss fight is intense, featuring four phases. Erlang's massive health bar, insane combos, and shield don't make it any easier. Adding to the difficulty, Erlang can turn the Immobilize spell against players and has a chain of nearly unstoppable attack combos. Defeating Erlang rewards players with the Azure Dome Transformation spell and the Tri-Point Double-Edged Spear.

1. Stone Monkey / The Great Sage’s Broken Shell

Location: Birthstone

We have a winner! As the final boss of the game, The Great Sage’s Broken Shell is one of the toughest challenges Black Myth: Wukong has to offer. This boss fight has two phases, with the second phase featuring a restored Sun Wukong, who can replicate all the player’s moves. The combos just keep coming your way! A beautiful ending to a beautiful game.
