I never realized the mandrill cheif raised wukong for 1,000 of years from the time of his birth throughout his rebellion and imprisonment and death and mourned her adopted son for another 500 years looking for ways to ressurect her son and not knowing his reincarnation son in the form of the destined one beought her to tears and laughter made me emotional.

I’m so fortunate to have found you while playing BMW - I just finished my first play through and your videos greatly enhanced the whole experience. Thank you! Food for thought - I would be a lot more inclined to spend my money on a new game release if I knew that it is accompanied by lore videos like yours.

Thank you very much for your videos. You are very knowledgeable about this book and explain everything very well for us foreigners. I'm from Brazil and I've learned so much about the game and the book and Chinese culture watching your series of video. They are long videos and probably hard for you to produce, but I honestly didn't notice the time passing. Probably will watch them all again soon. Surely most people, myself included, would really appreciate it if you continue to make more videos about the book and the game. Again, thank you very much.

I've spent the last week to finish your whole series about the game, and all I can say is WOW! Finding this channel is the best thing ever, even though I've never watch a C-drama in my whole life. Since the release of the game, I've been playing it and finding content creators who made content about it nonstop, and at least for me right now your channel is the best even without any gameplay showing in the videos. Being a Vietnamese kid, Journey To The West 1986 version and the book version are my whole childhood, and there is nothing better than hearing a true Chinese person telling the story. Your knowledge about the story and everything related to it is just amazing, also the storytelling is top tier level. I got goosebump everytime you use Chinese words, since in Vietnam we have something called "Hán Việt" which is the way we "speak" Mandarin in the old time, so I can imediately recognize what you're refering to. I'll give you a sub even tho I'll not watch dramas, just so you know there is a new fan who is going to wait for your videos until the DLC comes. Thank you for this amazing BMW playlist, see you again soon!!!

Of course, we would love to hear more about your impressions of the game and Game Science's approach to Wukong's story.

Thanks for taking time to post these videos, they were great and informative. Some people interpret the headband as an epitome of discipline, rules, and humanity-after all, Wukong is a monkey, but many believe it is a shackle against freedom. Given that the developers of this game embraced tons of hardships to break free from technical, cultural, financial, and bureaucratic challenges, I think that the true finale of Wukong's story in this game is a superhero who wears no chains. I am very curious about Erlang Shen’s brothers because I read they’re from two books combined. I also curious about the 4 Loong brothers you fight in the game too, maybe a separate video about that.

Hi, AvenueX, one thing that i noticed is that the Broken Shell boss is basically a parallel to the Six-eared Macaque. In both fights the combatants use the same moveset, are identical, and represent a duality of minds, with the one that embarked on the journey having to defeat the embodiment of the six senses to truly become one.

For me, the Moment from this Game that I will ALWAYS cherish is when the Destined One heads towards Water Curtain Cave & see Ruyi Jingu Bang (Comply Gold-Hoop Rod) in ALL of it's Iron-Black & Gold-Ringed Glory! Where we not only get a VERY Heartwarming Moment of Zhu Bajie/Wuneng playfully reenacts a Moment from Chapter 30 (if you know, you know) from the Original 1592 Novel & but seeing the Destined One trying to lift the Gold-Hoop Rod (which to remind you, weights 13,500 Catties) was like seeing a Prince fully accepting his Role as a King & a Warrior!

Thank you for all of the video. I personally think the quality get a bit down after chaper 3 (which is probably the longest and best chapter). Chapter 4 quite okay but you can feel it is going down a bit. Then chapter 5 was very linear and a very huge section of "running" without anything in between chapter 6 was basically just fighting a few bosses.

My high school Chinese teacher specifically shared the method with her students when introducing Journey to the West. I think some Asians should know that because of the chapter arrangement, Wukong's journey is actually like the Ship of Theseus, and also like life. Reading the chapters in reverse will bring you different ideas.

I believe the "lion form" is supposed to be Erlang representing the Wisdom Buddha who is often depicted holding a flaming sword in his right hand while riding or just sitting atop a blue lion and when everyone is saved and he attains perfect enlightenment, will be known as Buddha Clear Sight(possible play on the third eye) and as for the skulls, the same Buddha in some Tibetan schools becomes Yamantaka or "Destroyer of Death".

About the secret armor, I don't think its defence is ever based on your level. It does increase based on the number of relic points you have, so you need three playthroughs to fully max its defence. Thanks for another vid. Equally impressed with your knowledge over both Journey to the West, and Black Myth Wukong's gameplay. Your vid on chapter 5 revealed gimmicks I didn't know existed, and I played the game twice at that point. And, yeah, I killed the whole 'stone' family. Unlocking portraits was more important than sparing a family :p

I will really miss this series. Every week I look forward to watching these videos. I really do hope that they make DLCs for this game to cover all the other great antagonists from the novel like the Shi Tuo Ling trio, the 九靈元聖 (9 spirit saint? He's story is so interesting and he's actually quite a nice guy and revered as the patriarch of a bunch of lion guai). Also the 九頭蟲 (9 headed beast/bird) would be nice to see. He was more than a match for Sun Wukong, Erlang Shen, Zhu Bajie and the Meishan 6 at the same time. He's the only guai that was never killed or tamed and brought back to heaven. Dude only retreated when he got outnumbered and Xiao Tian Quan made him lose a head- truly the Lu Bu of Journey to the West. Also, even though they are dead in the novel, the 6 eared macaque and scorpion demoness were such great antagonists with the latter being the only female guai and one of the few characters that could fight off Sun Wukong without trickery or magical weapons. The other 2 elemental monkeys did not appear in the novel, so maybe one of them can replace the 6 eared macaque in the DLC.

Actually there is a reason why the game has nothing in chapter 6 for you to collect or interact with. Its explained in erlang's lore page. The heavenly soldiers there ranted that they dont get anything of value and think that the real treasures are in water curtain cave. This means that the eastern heaven force is turning every rocks and already take anything of value aside from those bosses we fight and the old armor.
