It ain't that hard to understand 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@blueor]

Okay. This is going to be a long one, you ready? In the Journey to the West Story, the Black Bear demon was friends with Elder Jinchi (a boss you totally missed, btw). When Wukong and his master San-Zang passed by, Elder Jinchi was obsessed with San-Zang's kasaya (a priceless "blanket", as you called it...). Together with Jinchi's two disciples (the fire blade wolf, and fan-wielding snake) they conspired to set Guanyin Temple on fire and tried to burn Wukong and San-Zang to death. Of course, it didn't work. And Elder Jinchi was so ashamed of his action, he hung himself. But Jinchi's obsession with the kasaya made his spirit unable to move on to the next world, so he became the "Big Head Baby" (the one you fought was just a remnant, you missed the REAL Jinchi Boss fight). The Black Bear demon was tamed and taken away by Guanyin Buddha. This story happens AFTER Journey to the West, the Black Bear Demon escaped Guanyin's watch, and somehow got his paws on Wukong's relic. Now, just to clarify, when they say "Great Sage", it refers to Wukong, because he was once called "Great Sage Equal To Heaven". Also, if you are confused, try to read the codex in the game Edit: thank you so much for all the love! I just commented on Afro’s newest video of CH3 where he just climb out of the pagoda realm, you are welcome to check it out!

51:25 this scene is actually a reference to the journey to the west, this monk had an obsession and collection of kasaya which is a robe that Buddhist monk wear, and one day monkey boy and the group stumbled upon the temple, stop by and wanted to stay over, the monk ask to inspect the robe of monkey boy's master, flabbergasted by it he wanted to steal it for his own, at night when he was stealing it he got caught by wukong, he crash out and burn down the temple, that monk was good friend with the black bear btw, since the bear was interested in Buddhism

[@blurp00]

@AfroSenju XL, to understand the whole story on what you've watched at the end of Chapter, you will need to unlock the secret boss in Guanyin Temple. Plus, there's a recap in the Chapter 1 scroll, if you hover your mouse around. Each one explained how corruption/lust affected the monks. To understand more of the lore, go to the Journal. It's written there on how Sun Wukong, Tang San Zang and their group encountered these monks and so forth they turned into yaoguai

[@GooneyJib]

oh so the wolves and most of the animals that he fought this whole chapter, they were the monks from long ago? is that what you're tryna say? the got corrupted so they turned into yaoguai?

[@nyankosoldier5156]

@@GooneyJib Not necessarilly all the lesser monsters, but the bosses yes, especially the ones with names, they were once monks. Transformations of physical appearance played a very big part in east Asia mythology that, if your heart is corrupted and your soul is wicked, you will eventually take the form of some sort of evil being, most commonly predator animals.

[@BlancheCooperCooper]

no,An animal can become a human through cultivation, and the more it becomes human-like, the more powerful the animal's cultivation is. so someone like furry is mean weak yaoguai. and someone like really human is mean great yaoguai. in this story,bear is friend with boy, but also symbol the "greed"

For the transformation, light and heavy attacks charge the meter in the bottom right. Once it is full you can do an evade and heavy attack during it to do the special attack, which is a big overhead slam for lots of fire damage. Very useful transformation.

[@Chris346logo]

[@apexpredator1699]

The heavy attacks don’t charge the bar. Only the lights. But the heavy can be chained multiple times. Also I think when the bar is full when you dodge heavy. You get different moves. Cause he has an overhead slam as you said. He also has a flurry move. And one where he leapes into the air and charges down. I don’t know how to trigger which move you want tho. Maybe the dodge direction (forward, side, back).

You’re playing as Wukong’s descendant and/or reincarnation in this game, Afro. The journey of the game right now is him resurrecting and becoming Wukong, I think. This all takes place after Journey to the West after the intro, that’s why the current character is a silent protagonist unfortunately.

[@oVRazberryVo]

So there is Sun Wukong and then there is the Black Myth Wukong. Sun Wukong is the incarnation of Wukong before Black Myth Wukong (Sun Wukong is the one you play as at the start of the game vs all the big dudes, he died on impact and reincarnated into you). In this game you are the Black Myth, and it takes you on his journey through earning the title of Wukong again and beyond, following his myth. I got really into Wukong lore a while ago, and he has reincarnated many many times. What happened in the opening has happened on a few occasions. The reason is because one of his previous incarnations ate all of the gods peaches of immortality, all of them. So every time he dies he just reincarnates, and has to earn his memories and title back. Im not gonna go too deep into the myth lore though because it might spoil the game.

[@kingtut4266]

Small correction and if I'm wrong let me know I'm pretty sure the player is trying to collect the relics to revive the real sun wukong

[@OGsabo863]

@@kingtut4266yes and no I’m guess the relics will someone how combine with the player making them one

[@LeoBeastmode]

I doubt the protag is a reincarnation of Sun Wukong. The Monkey King was immortal and Buddha wasn't even able to 'kill' him. He was sealed and the game takes places after Sun Wukong made his Journey to the West with Tang Sanzang. The relics are what Sun Wukong left behind afterwards.

[@kiggerst]

Wu Kong never reincatnate before this. the punishment bestowed upon him for all of his misdeeds like eating the peaches, drinking the celestial wines, only resulted on him became stronger. Wu Kong has immortality x7 + budhahood. He literally can't die and only can be sealed or in this game, broken into six relics.

[@fakepain4145]

To be precise, he has "seven" immortalities? And that eating the gods' peaches of immortality is one of them, right?

However, Wukong saw through his evil plan and protected Xuanzang, elder Jinchi ended up burning down his own temple and killed himself because of the guilt. In the game, he's spirit transferred into a big head golden monk yaoguai, you'll have to hit 3 different bells to reveal the hidden temple and fight him.

To interpret the Bear animation: It seems like the young boy who turned into a priest was very lustful for material objects which is something Buddhism doesn't think highly of because it taints and distracts the spirit. So the priest's lust for material objects turned him into a greedy and wrathful being who I assume was hoarding one of Wukong's relics. Just an interpretation though, not fact.

TLDR; The Bear became a servant of a Buddhist monk who once sheltered Sun Wukong and his master in Journey to the West. The monk, upon seeing the master’s robes ((called a Kasaya) which were given to him by a God) desired it so much that he set his temple on fire to kill them so he could steal it. Wukong discovered the plot, gave his master a fireproof cloak to sleep under, then used trickery to cause the entire temple to catch fire, killing all the monks there

Hey Afro if there’s a secret baby boss, u should interact with three giant bell (u have done 2). For the last bell go to the snake boss and on the left side hit the bell it’ll take u to a different location and there you’ll find the baby boss. Reward: some fire shielding robe.

so the black bear basically is Buddhism , he saved the monke who’s name is called Jing hai, and the in Buddhism to cut tie with the world and reach the highest level of karma he has to wear that cloth which was given by the master of wukong.

I'm not sure if the bear represents Buddhism in this story, I think he's the same bear in JTTW who fought wukong at black wind mountain, and Elder Jinchi wants the kasaya because tripitaka showed him his and then he began to want it. Seeing as Guangmou and Guangzhi are still related to their original character I think it's the same for the Bear.

That big foreheaded baby and wold caught them hands last vid 😂😂😂

[@ShadowUltimate-mc9nr]

I didnt understand what bro said either afro, W chapter tho

[@BudokaiTH]

For that animated scene. Boy loved material luxurious things, and so did the Bear King. The Bear King pretty much was in cahoots with that boy and helped him achieve a high rank among the Buddhist throughout the years, while feeding their greed as a deal, going as far as to make it seem like priest had power over the winds. When the priest got gifted that beautiful and expensive looking silk cloth, the bear wanted it for himself too. The wind that the bear kicked up during the altercation over the cloth, set fire to the temple monastery. And because that priest greed was so potent to his very soul, he became a yaoguai(demon).

[@charlietownsend2826]

Almost right! The Kasaya belonged to the Tang Monk, the monk from Journey to the West. The head of the temple, Jinchi, being greedy wanted it for himself so he conspired to have the room where the Monk slept burnt. Wukong stopped him but in the chaos, fire was set to the whole temple. The bear guai, friend of Jinchi, went in to check on his friend but driven by greed, stole the kasaya instead and ran. Once Jinchi came back to his senses, he took his own life in shame. Wukong tracked the bear, killing his friends and with the help of Guanyin, subdued him and got the kasaya back. The bear became a disciple of Guanyin. This all happens in Journey to the West, in the game, the bear is back, having rebuilt the temple and learnt a new spell to resurrect his friends, though it did not quite pan out.

Tip 1: always check around boss areas. They hide stuff in them sometimes Tip 2: transformation has the big move when focus bar is full

[@iStayReddy]

YOU MISSED A SECRET BOSS. You needed to check the left path after you beat the white noble snake dude. There’s another bell there.

[@Chris346logo]

He’s rushing the game obviously bro is too hype he can’t even read descriptions and gets upset he can’t deflect

[@jinn1923]

[@yminkai]

[@Slater6977]

[@REYFERNZ]

[@takashi2103]

watching you play games makes me feel like I'm just in a discord with you watching you play the game. your so funny and chill and I'm not gay but... anyways love the content keep it up ❤

[@reach769]

Bro, are you ever going to use your sparks? Lol

[@Chris346logo]

He intentionally didn’t look at the column about deflecting and also doesn’t understand items idky he went baby brain w this game it’s a rpg

[@EscanorChi]

How you figured out you can use freeze to take bear out of that mist form was cold!

[@kkgg-e5y]

The prequel to this chapter is: In Journey to the West, the four master and apprentices arrived at Black Wind Mountain. The elder of the temple at that time, who is also the person in the last film, coveted Tang Monk's cassock and wanted to set fire to the four master and apprentices. As a result, the plot was discovered by Sun Wukong, and the whole temple was burned down instead. Regarding the bear and the elder Jinchi, the bear actually had good intentions. In the film, when the elder was still a young monk, he was so hungry in the forest that he wanted to eat frogs and was about to break the monks' precept of killing. The black bear gave him coins to save him, but it aroused his greed and he embarked on a road of no return.

[@kkgg-e5y]

In Journey to the West, Elder Jin Chi has died, but the Black Bear Demon has deep feelings for him, so the Elder Jin Chi in the game is actually the Black Bear Demon who resurrected him. All of this happened after the end of Journey to the West. There are many dialectical thoughts in Buddhism, such as what kind of kindness can truly save a person, and why a person is still so greedy after becoming the most respected person?

[@rockqueen13]

Once this game was released I didn't know which streamer playthrough to watch. Thankfully Afro's vids dont disappoint

[@sagelink2]

game's lore takes place AFTER the main canon novel

[@avian7971]

The long form videos for the animes are great. The one-off videos are good length, but these 40+ minute playthroughs I AM HERE for

[@YSPKAY]

Completely missing the deflect at the start had me screaming 😭

[@Chris346logo]

It’s insane like is he a child? Does he do it on purpose

[@eazzycheesy6642]

Chapter one pretty much tells the aftermath of the episode took place in original Journey to the West, where an old monk who tried to murder Master Sanzang, who was Wukong’s master at the time, for the kasaya he carried. But later the plan backfired, which got that old monk killed and black bear tamed.

[@lostsouls7186]

You’re not play as Wukong. You’re playing as another monkey called The Destined One who is tasked with recovering relics so that Sun Wukong can be brought back. This takes place after the journey to the west.

[@miguelherrera6312]

He dont be paying attention 😂

[@Decolnow]

It’s so interesting to see somebody struggle much more with some bosses and much less with others compared to my own experience

[@isthatjsmoove2383]

And he gotta figure the deflect thing out 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Chris346logo]

It’s not difficult tbh I think he’s rage baiting he doesn’t even try to switch stances

[@harvir6167]

u are so good, literally the best streamer at this game, so natural and quick to learn.

[@niko7626]

He only rang one bell, im kinda mad… one was at the snake guy and the other was at the poison snake guy

[@apexpredator1699]

He rang the poison snake bell. Did bro even watch the video

[@niko7626]

@@apexpredator1699 i just realised it was exactly when i went to grab some snacks and water -.- my bad

[@Pnthrx]

What I found good in the bear fight is if you Burn him early on, he transforms into phase 2, if you don't then he waits till half health.

[@HashiramaSells]

I scrolled so far to see if anyone else was gonna tell him that 😂😂😂 he still beat it tho at least

[@ShirouBrando]

Man Afro is missing every hint that we are not Wukong the game is basically out right telling him

[@TyeJoiner-w8x]

[@powerfulstaraptor3906]
