That's how you design a perfect final boss fight. This one is not extremely hard, at least easier than the last hidden boss Erlang. But the pressure he deliver is just at another level. All these moves are not dealing physical but mental damage. Even you defeat him you feel like a child just passed his teachers test.
The devs could've make the fight insufferable like making the Monkey King does a one shot hit or summons dozens of clones to f players over. I'm so glad they didn't do that.
"Perfect boss" ?? What are you talking about, this guy was insanely hard... I spent more time on it than 3 other hardest bosses combined. Not sure why, but in my game this one was by FAR the hardest. Too many animations that are hard to doge. I play on PS5 + Projector so that might be the reason, but this boss was the reason game dropped HARD for me, and ending (without secret ending) is barebones.
I think that's a reaction a lot of people have because he doesn't just permanently take it away. Takes 1 swig (which from the looks of it actually uses up a use), heals a bit and gives it back. Makes people think "Oh that's pretty funny." instead of "Are you kidding me??" had he just permanently removed it.
I also love how he’ll take your staff and then give it back to you or if you try to do a heavy slam to catch you and start knocking you around like hulk did the Loki
@@FXRainThe AI read your input and does that on the 4-5 sip. The best way to counter is just spam dodge on once you see him do it or hear the sound to dodge completely. Once that’s done you’re free to sips.
Whoever wrote that final boss can steal your health potion during a fight is a genius. Imagine if Sephiroth used Cloud's elixir and they had to restart the entire fight....
This is also a trope in Wuxia novel: sharing a cup of wine with your opponent before a duel to signify you both will not hold hostility with each other no matter who will win. Edit: this is the highest gesture of respect a martial artist can show in Wuxia.
@@Khann_2102 Yes, in the entire boss battle there are few cases like this one where he can just kill you, basically teasing you with his ability. But this is supposed to be the final test from Monkey King himself to see if you're truly the destined one.
This episode fits perfectly with the persona of the Monkey King, who, in Journey to the West, wreaks havoc in the Garden of Peaches, where he freezes the nymphs for the sole purpose of picking peaches
even thought been the great saga, Wukong is still a monkey, so he's very playful and like to mess around, it's like one of his many pranks. characteristicly correct.
@@lx051225 Well he was testing if the Desitined One are truly his successor If it's other, he would definitely drink the whole thing and even pee into it like one of novel chapter XD
Wukong takes the gourd: This thing of yours look good. Let me have a taste Wukong after drinking: This shit takes like horse piss. Take your shit back. This can be accurate because as he was in heaven, he had some of the most palatable food and drinks existed, so he has a very hard side for food.
That might not be it exactly since if you upgrade your brew you can get, for instance, Monkey Brew (and something better, I haven't seen it yet) which Wukong did like very much. Maybe he was jokingly surprised that you would just straight up chug alcohol during combat :D Especially since he doesn't stop you first 4 or 5 times and only after that he finally decides to take a sip himself IIRC
fun fact about the entire fight: normally if you’re in water you can’t use your fire circle, but in this fight not only can you use it, if you’re in wukong’s circle you can also gain focus. he’s actually going easy on the destined one, it’s in all intentions and purposes just a test to see if you can take over the mantle
player wukong: after stopping opponent, furious hitting until stamina bar gone. Chad Wukong: after stopping opponent steal the gourd take a sip and gives it back.. NGL, we are lucky that when he gave it back to us he was not fully healed and the gourd is not empty.....
An interesting piece of knowledge: In “Journey to the West,” Sun Wukong learns the immobilization spell. He uses this spell to freeze many extremely beautiful fairies in place, and while they are immobilized, he quietly eats all the peaches that the fairies were guarding.
I thought it was cool when, after he battered you around and knocked you down so hard you lost your staff, the boss was 'nice' enough to kick your staff back to you and beckons to get back up. Immobilizing you and taking a drink from your gourd, however, is something else. 🤣
There are numerous elements like this. For example. You try the pillar pole slam on him... he can grab the pole and then... while your still clinging to the pole...beat you into the ground with your pole.
@@Motleydoll123 Saw that one recently, and that was hilarious. Also saw the one with the Destined One and Sage have a, uh, pillar measuring contest. Sage won, of course. 🤣
This game is the reason why I bought a Chinese drinking gourd (Black Myth Wukong’s replica) Probably not ideal and probably hard to wash if you put soda or alcoholic drinks in it, but cool to have nonetheless
the dev really put the key input in this boss if you do pillar stance to long the boss will do pillar stance to 🤣but his is higher and with more ridiculous range
The fact that no other game boss in history (or developer) has ever thought of this before is perplexing to say the least. Sure we have bosses that will heal themselves, bosses that will escape, bosses that have a second phase/form/stage; But never a boss that’ll literally steal your own sustainability
Destined One:(Panic drinking) Get Immobilized Sun Wukong: "Gimme that!! Let's see if your wine is some good stuff." Took a sip. Sun Wukong: "Now that some fine wine you got there, you're gonna need it."
Wukong also has another name: the Monkey King! He is the king of all monkeys, and all monkeys are his juniors in his presence. It’s clear that he didn’t use his full strength in battle; he was testing whether the destined one had the ability to earn his respect while also guiding his juniors. From Wukong‘s personality, it’s evident that after taking a few hits, that guy always takes a sip from the gourd. He definitely has to try and see what that thing is!
haha, in the simplified Chinese version. He drink your wine, but spit most of the wine out, then toss it back. But in all your reactions with other language setting, there is no sound of the spitting of the wine. That’s why he don’t heal as much as you. “Not good wine”, I guess that what he really think
I love in all those time you were frozen he could've just swing a few time and you will drop like flies but he decided to humiliates you instead, and keep in mind he can just throw your gourd away for the rest of the game
I honestly can't think of any boss in these types of games that do this. I mean there's bosses that'll hit or start a combo right when you try to heal, there's bosses that'll disable your healing for a bit. But I have never seen a boss that will YOINK your damned potion! That shit is revolutionary I swear.
Wukong is my childhood memory. This action is very good. It perfectly shows Wukong's naughty nature. In the journey to the west, he did the same thing to the seven fairies in order to steal peaches.😂
You know a game has done an incredible job at story telling when the ride on the boat to the final boss gives you a tension and worries you only get when you are about to take an exam
大 圣 爷 I hope westerners now finally get the chance to learn about the real wukong, this is the perfect way to introduce him, cuz he's always about that swag😂
If you already read JTTW this is his iconic character moment. because he was too powerful + nature of monky. every opponant who fough him found out he just toy with them one way or another. and dav want you to know this is how you feel when you fight with real sun wukong look like.
I would say this is the fight where spellbinder works the best as after activating the spell binder all you need to focus on is doing damage building focus and dodging.
We've been getting annoyed when the boss in other games heals themselves to max hp Meanwhile, Sun Wukong: "I'll take a sip on that gourd, thank you. You like that?"
Whoever wrote this, gets the real spirit of the character in the original novel. A monkey though learned and named Budha, still shows his nature from time to time.
Interesting! I didn't know he could do that. He never actually did this to me when I fought him. Through most of the fight used Ring of Fire to heal. But I did use the Gourd on the last phase a couple of times and he didn't stop me
Headphone Warning at 06:14 I thought I turned that clip down low enough, it seems I miscalculated 😂😂😂 sorry in advance if your ears got blasted 🙏
Monke
I love how you thoughtfully give a timestamp so that I can get my earwax cleared😂

I thought he was the third wukong
Fun fact about this you can actually doge the freeze if you use gourd then dodge right after
That's how you design a perfect final boss fight. This one is not extremely hard, at least easier than the last hidden boss Erlang. But the pressure he deliver is just at another level.

Yes, more like he's trying to teach us not to defeat us

I'm on my first play through, trying to beat Erlang so I can eventually get the good ending. He's so difficult I had to take a break from the game.
@@_sky_3123same bro was harder than erlang for me
That was one of the only times ever a game has screwed me over and my reaction was “Damn, that was cool.”
This and god of war ragnaroks one where thor kills you and revives you are the best ones ever made
real
same reaction as well.

Potential option for harder difficulties in the next game perhaps.
Well Wukong is the biggest troll that ever trolled 🐵
that's also so authentic for that character. Wukong is famous for stealing food and wine.
Well! The thing is that it fit wukong’s characteristics, he does things like that 😂
The only game where I felt awesome being humiliated.😂
Shit would have been diabolical if he kept it for himself😭
Nah, he just wants to see if your wine is good stuff or not.
@@ringring8938Also he's just testing us
That would have been bad manners from a Wuxia perspective.
No gourd challenge
No one will be able to defeat him except ONGBAK
Atleast he didn't empty the gourd and just healed a little as well.
actually wouldve loved if he wasted one use
He takes your capri sun wukong.
Oh you are lucky he didn't piss in it before give it back at ya. I know for sure Wukong with his full mind intact would do it
来给你一点😂
He is just curious about what you've been drinking all this time and wants to taste it.
Player: im gonna heal
Wukong: OUR HEAL
Make sense cuz china communist party xD
Soviet WuKong:
🫡
This is in line with Wukong's character. He is very naughty and his weapons were also snatched from others.😂😂😂
To this day, Dragon King from East Sea still wishing to have the 金剛棒(Golden Staff) back XD

I love how he gives it back after he takes a swig
At least he has some heart to not humiliate us further 😂
He also gives the staff back after disarming us. He just testing us bro. 😂
"Take it back you'll need it"
Because he's testing us
The disrespect 😂
This episode fits perfectly with the persona of the Monkey King, who, in Journey to the West, wreaks havoc in the Garden of Peaches, where he freezes the nymphs for the sole purpose of picking peaches
Yes all those beautiful peaches.
The dude's a freaking troll. lol
对啊，仙女被定住了，他去吃桃子，可能因为不是母猴子
Or bro just loves to troll
Weren't those peaches one of the reasons he has one of his many layers of immortality?
the final fight is all about teaching, not killing. he shaked the bottle after he drank it to make sure you still have a bit left.
even thought been the great saga, Wukong is still a monkey, so he's very playful and like to mess around, it's like one of his many pranks. characteristicly correct.
Ultimate troll 😭
@@FXRain this is just his empty shell 😂 the real one will stole, empty it completely and laugh in player face.
@@hardonobong2190 even its a empty shell the instinct of the trickster never disappeared
@@hardonobong2190and you need to make sure he won't pee in your gourd before drinking it😂
@@AmazingLoop fact this whole fight he could casually do that and we couldn't do anything about it makes it even better 😂
This fight is the first moment that players getting disrespected but they are enjoyed it 🤣
Because this direspect is actually fun and kinda in character
Basically you’d do the same if you could)
Lol, amazing setup by the Devs. What a character!
Wukong is infamous for just taking people's things. This was so perfect for him
The difference is that this time he actually returned it
@@lx051225
Well he was testing if the Desitined One are truly his successor
If it's other, he would definitely drink the whole thing and even pee into it like one of novel chapter XD
Wukong takes the gourd: This thing of yours look good. Let me have a taste
Wukong after drinking: This shit takes like horse piss. Take your shit back.
This can be accurate because as he was in heaven, he had some of the most palatable food and drinks existed, so he has a very hard side for food.
LOL
Yeah I can see that he was disgusted with the wine 😂 look how he grunts and shakes his head. Definitely not worthy to his taste bud 🤣
That might not be it exactly since if you upgrade your brew you can get, for instance, Monkey Brew (and something better, I haven't seen it yet) which Wukong did like very much.

I like this part. Because although only the broken shell, Wukong is still Wukong
Wukong or not, a prankster is a prankster, and he damn well will get a swig of that while flexing at our flabbergasted arse 😂
Aura so great it transcends mind and body
*Destined one stuck in time*
Wukong: I'm taking that shii
😭
😂😂
It's too funny to see every player's shocked behaviour when it was taken away. No other game done it before🤣🤣🤣
There's a secret boss in Birth By Sleep where if you use a heal spell the boss also heals.
Wukong really show everyone that he was just playing around while Training our character.
This what I called “Eeeeeeeeeemoooooootioooonaaal Daaaaaaaamage~!”
This.. and When he countered the charging pole stances.. I wheezed so hard. Oh and one time he cancelled our charging attack by throwing a peach..
that’s not even the peach, it’s just the core of that peach he chomped on lmaoooooo
“Hold your beer”
Literally 😭
lol
"Our beer"🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
Wukong entire fight: "make sure you watch and learn kiddo~"
fun fact about the entire fight: normally if you’re in water you can’t use your fire circle, but in this fight not only can you use it, if you’re in wukong’s circle you can also gain focus. he’s actually going easy on the destined one, it’s in all intentions and purposes just a test to see if you can take over the mantle

This studio, man. This was only their first game and they have made these awesome moments... Can't wait to see what they do next.
Least he didn’t destroy the gourd but tossed it back 😂😂😂
Shell or not, this is coming from a monkey who has the ball to spite at heaven several times to know the unwritten rule about drinking😂
You don't need to be too nervous to fight with Wukong. You can feel him and learn from him.

This game is the reason why I bought a Chinese drinking gourd (Black Myth Wukong’s replica)
Probably not ideal and probably hard to wash if you put soda or alcoholic drinks in it, but cool to have nonetheless
Stealing gourd is definitely a Wukong thing, so iconic. It's in the JTTW.
Even as a shell of the original Sun Wukong. It still keeps his sense of humor and his love for good booze.
This is one of the greatest games of the year
Hahaha, this is Chinese humor. And，it's really not surprising at all that the Monkey King would do something like this.
It's actually quite on brand for Sun Wukong.
Imagine a challenge mode where he just doesn't give the gourd back.
the dev really put the key input in this boss if you do pillar stance to long the boss will do pillar stance to 🤣but his is higher and with more ridiculous range
He can also grab your staff in a have slam and slam you like the hulk😭
The fact that no other game boss in history (or developer) has ever thought of this before is perplexing to say the least.
Sure we have bosses that will heal themselves, bosses that will escape, bosses that have a second phase/form/stage;
But never a boss that’ll literally steal your own sustainability
Kingdom Hearts 3 secret boss could steal your elixirs, revives and weapon and this was 5 years ago
The technology was never there before. We had reach a point where gameplay and cutscenes are nearly the same now.
Destined One:(Panic drinking)
Get Immobilized
Sun Wukong: "Gimme that!! Let's see if your wine is some good stuff."
Took a sip.
Sun Wukong: "Now that some fine wine you got there, you're gonna need it."
I was upset he didn't get poisoned since I had the death stinger in my drink xd
I like how Wukong toys with you the entire fight. Leans into the fact that the Monkey King is by all else, a trickster.
Grandpa want to taste our handmade brew & He kind of.... approved the taste👌50/50😅

broke 4th wall there
Wukong is my childhood memory. This action is very good. It perfectly shows Wukong's naughty nature. In the journey to the west, he did the same thing to the seven fairies in order to steal peaches.😂
There was another game where the final boss prevented you from using the pause menu. Final Bosses like this are simply the best!!
Good to see Knekro in this reactions ❤

Remember, sharing is caring. Oh wait…
I can't wait for AfroSenju to get to this part
Facts he’s definitely gonna go insane especially bc he thinks kratos is beating sun wukong
This battle has a master - discipline vibe to it. Kinda cute tbh.
Ok lesson learned, One extra sip in my gourd for the boss.
大 圣 爷
I hope westerners now finally get the chance to learn about the real wukong, this is the perfect way to introduce him, cuz he's always about that swag😂
Imagine if you have the thing that poisons you whenever you drink and then he steals it and poisons himself 😂
Actually the game has soaks that poisons you.
Yes that is literally what I was referring to
I tried, it didnt work 😂 the description says poisons the "destined one" so that's probably why it didn't work
13:08 Next level disrespect right here.
That was so badass ngl
I wish more games had final bosses with little moments in the battle like this that gave the boss even more character.
damn i was so scared that wukong boss get full hp back after that sip😂
Game science played a joke with us. But I love the detailed and surprising design thinking
Most respectful final boss fight in gaming history.
Yep. That's Wukong alright.
"You come into my house, dressing like me. And don't have the dignity to fight me like a monkey."
I was AGHAST. Lol
Clearly we are very attached to our gourds.
If you already read JTTW this is his iconic character moment.
because he was too powerful + nature of monky.
every opponant who fough him found out he just toy with them one way or another.
and dav want you to know this is how you feel when you fight with real sun wukong look like.
He loves to toy with them.
Until he gets too cocky. And need Guanyin to save his ass multiple times.
My favorite disrespect is when he catches your heavy and slams you around.
I would say this is the fight where spellbinder works the best as after activating the spell binder all you need to focus on is doing damage building focus and dodging.
We've been getting annoyed when the boss in other games heals themselves to max hp
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong: "I'll take a sip on that gourd, thank you. You like that?"
Listening to that Spaniard say JE-AL was wild, he read HEAL in Spanish, who does that LMAO
at least wukong doesn’t drink it all up and give it back😂
bro really said "my heal now" then proceeds to give the gourd back lmfao😂
The way he hold his staff behind his neck, so classy
Sage: you need this to heal? Ah
“I don't have that shit before.”
Whoever wrote this, gets the real spirit of the character in the original novel. A monkey though learned and named Budha, still shows his nature from time to time.
The god of yoink
Interesting! I didn't know he could do that. He never actually did this to me when I fought him. Through most of the fight used Ring of Fire to heal. But I did use the Gourd on the last phase a couple of times and he didn't stop me
All I have to say is, be lucky your Gourd’s healing ability and the soaks do not register when he drinks from it; would’ve been a hell of a punish
I wonder, Imagine if there's a different ending if you beat wukong without using anything else than your stick
some might say Wukong know what this will end and decide to take a last sip.
I wasnt even mad when this happened, i was like damn.....yeah that was bad ass
Yoink! Oh,nice wine eh? *Throws back*
That level of trolling for mere shell of himself🤣
