Although the exploits of Sun Wukong are only one part of the greater tale in Journey to the West, Black Myth: Wukong focuses mainly on his story.<\/p>    <p>In a Journey to the West, Sun Wukong is &#8220;a monkey born from a stone nourished by the Five Elements&#8221;. He learns the art of the Tao, the ability to polymorph into &#8220;anything that exists&#8221;, and the secret of immortality. His staff, the Ruyi Jingu Bang, is said to weigh 17,550 pounds and was once a pillar that supported the undersea palace of the Dragon King of the East Sea. Sun Wukong is able to transform the staff&#8217;s size at will, shrinking it down to the size of a needle when he&#8217;s not using it. In the story, his power grows so much that it matches all of the Eastern deities, and he eventually earns a spot amongst the gods. However, Sun Wukong is a rebellious force, and his immense pride eventually leads to his downfall after the Buddha traps him underneath a mountain and seals him away for five hundred years. This event is what we see in the introduction of Black Myth: Wukong.<\/p>    <p>The protagonist of Black Myth: Wukong, surprisingly, is not Sun Wukong, but another monkey known as the Destined One. Although not the Monkey King himself, the Destined One&#8217;s story closely follows that of Sun Wukong, and you will often meet characters described in the novel that relate to Wukong in one way or another.<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"> <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-attachment-id=\"276701\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/tips\/black-myth-wukong-save-file-location-on-pc\/attachment\/black-myth-wukong-screenshot\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Black-Myth-Wukong-Screenshot.jpg?fit=1200%2C675\" data-orig-size=\"1200,675\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Black Myth: Wukong Screenshot\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Black Myth: Wukong Screenshot&lt;\/p&gt; \" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Image via Game Science&lt;\/p&gt; \" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Black-Myth-Wukong-Screenshot.jpg?fit=300%2C169\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Black-Myth-Wukong-Screenshot.jpg?fit=640%2C360\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" data-id=\"276701\" src=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Black-Myth-Wukong-Screenshot.jpg?resize=640%2C360\" alt=\"Black Myth: Wukong Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-276701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Black-Myth-Wukong-Screenshot.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Black-Myth-Wukong-Screenshot.jpg?w=300 300w, https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Black-Myth-Wukong-Screenshot.jpg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Black-Myth-Wukong-Screenshot.jpg?w=1024 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image via Game Science<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/figure>    <p>Almost everything in Black Myth: Wukong, from characters, bosses, and even weapons and items, are references to Journey to the West.<\/p>    <p>Since its inception in the 16th century, Journey to the West has gone on to inspire countless stories in all forms of media &#8211; from literature to movies and from manga to anime. One of the biggest and most obvious results of Journey to the West&#8217;s inspiration is the story of Dragon Ball, as Goku (also known as Son Goku) is literally seen with a monkey&#8217;s tail and a staff in earlier iterations. Characters from Journey to the West directly inspire many other characters from the Dragon Ball universe.<\/p>    <p>Each time a new enemy is slain in Black Myth: Wukong, an entry detailing the lore behind them is added to the player&#8217;s journal. Reading these entries is a great way to dive a little deeper into the lore of the characters and their impact on the greater story of Black Myth: Wukong.<\/p>    <p>For more information on this epic tale, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/tips\/how-many-chapters-are-there-in-black-myth-wukong-answered\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how many chapters are in Black Myth Wukong<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A tale as old as time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":277048,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"_article_tier":null},"categories":[13],"tags":[5990],"internal-label":[9323],"invoiceable_action":[9032],"article_type":[8351],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What is Black Myth Wukong Based On?
