Lore of the Bosses and Story Explained Black Myth Wukong Chapter 3

[@ashishbirlangi5119]

Hey man, I’m usually just a lurker on KZbin never comment, please keep making more of these lore videos for the rest of the chapters. They have been super helpful in understanding what’s going on. No one else is making a no nonsense videos of the lore explanation and taking the subject matter seriously like you are, wonderful work!

[@Williamsweeb]

Thank you! It's truly motivating to receive a comment like this. JTTW is a huge part of my childhood, so I'm really glad to see it reached such a large audience. Your support means a lot!

[@missnorafeng]

I love these videos, but I suggest you also check out AvenueX, a Chinese lady goes in depth on the lore of each chapter and also lots of background on the book journey to the west and its main characters

[@yixuanouyang7676]

just to add to the kangjin star part: out of all 28 constellations, kangjin star is the only person who’s willing to come down to the mortal realm to help our protagonist with his task of gathering wukong’s scattered relics. she however encountered yellowbrow during her journey and was manipulated into serving him instead. i loved her character so much and this is pretty fking sad.

[@Williamsweeb]

True! The dev really embraced the meaning of "Black Myth"

[@spinningstatics]

wow - i didn't know that her initial intention was to aid the Destined One - really adds a layer of sadness after defeating her

This is the only video I've ever watched about chapter 3 that gives a detailed comparison between Sanzang and Yellowbrow along with his disguised disciples. It’s so interesting! Thanks a lot!

Thank you! Such a keen eye for details

[@tharhtet7693]

the storytelling is now so much better than chapter 1 and 2. Amazing work. Thanks for the video.

[@brandonn161]

I can't get over at the fact how good and how high quality this game and it's animated cutscenes are. It's insane

[@mrchildrenen]

Yes, the game is worth 10seasons of the most well written drama series with lots of food for thought to offer. It’s extremely exciting and deeply philosophical.😊

[@ericr7889]

Wow..this is so deep..I was confused about the story until I found your video..great job!

[@robertcolvin5162]

Great explanation. It took me several hours of research to figure out the story of chapter 2. This one video took care of all the questions I had on chapter 3. Will be coming back for chapter 4!

[@Williamsweeb]

Thank you so much! I've finished all 6 chapters explanation videos, please come to check them out.

Dude I’ve been loving these video of yours! I just beat chapter 3 so this timing is amazing. You always help it make sense

[@kenonhinokami6798]

You know, I knew there was other meaning to the ending of chapter 3. At first, I thought it was just humans being greedy, but something was telling me that there was more to that story. Thankfully, I was right and thanks to your video, I have a much clearer understanding. Thank you. 🙏

[@joshuazhang3009]

yeah. from religion perspective, yellow brow represents heresy, wind mouse represents deviation, black bear represents secularism, spider represents 'not devoted enough i have a love life'

[@tonyturner2618]

Awesome work man, love these videos! Excited for ch 4 & 5 the most!

[@ulfberht4431]

I really love the theme of this chapter: validation can lead to greed, anger and delusion. With today’s society and how it’s so focused on validation, you can see how much people crave it through greed (by applying too much ethnic and cultural diversity when it isn’t needed), anger (they cannot handle the argument against their action of over reliance of diversity so they resort to cancelling and sowing seeds of false bigotry) and delusion (the fact they claim so many false narratives and have an ego the size of Mount huaguo).

[@joshL28]

I think cultural diversity is cool only when it is genuine, but corporations and media are only feigning it for virtual signaling, popularity, and for monetary gain.

[@missnorafeng]

Well said !!!

[@shreysom2060]

Thankyou for making such a wonderful video, It must have been very tiring to get all the info gathered and finally make the video. Kudos to you.

Yellowbrow fucking everyone up like a boss

[@Cryptocraze-ic5hp]

thank you so much for lore explanation. This reimagining of Black Myth Wukong's Yellowbrow is so much more evil and chilling compared to the original. I love how the creators and developers made changes but still stayed true to the JTTW lore somewhat and didn't stray too much.

[@Williamsweeb]

Thank you! The dev really embraced the meaning of blending tradition with innovation.

regarding ending shortfilm, i saw another really good explanation - which adds on a few key points. human started out as good. thanking the god and erecting temples and devout prayers. governments form and organize proper distribution of wealth - assigning both accountants and guards for this. even when one person was tempted and pulled, guards tried to stop the frenzy, but is overwhelmed by the chaos -- this depicted weakness of man, spread of chaos, and inability to handle extreme human challenges.

Man I’m fairly familiar with journey to the west watching the 1986 series multiple times and a lot of the other movies and tv shows reading the novel as well and there’s still plenty of things in this games themes I missed that these videos cleared up

[@Williamsweeb]

Thank you! JTTW is truly a profound work. I also find some layers of meaning and connections each time I read it.

What about the green capped martialist? Poor dude was left out.

Ep 19, my friend. Here's the Eng-sub version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZatoqmuf9Wsl68

[@renojable]

@@Williamsweeb Omg ! Thanks so much dude!

[@spinningstatics]

So good ! Thank you for making these videos !! I felt that the turtle Yagoai at the end was a parallel to Yellowbrow but besides the false worshipping from the villagers, i couldnt see the bigger picture that he was enticing envy and greed in their hearts - remarkable story telling

[@Williamsweeb]

Thank you! Glad you like them!

[@MinkDaddy]

Okay, so I think I get it now. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong: I was thinking that one of the lessons learned in chapter 2 conflicted with the fox yaoguai's quest. Simply put, the overall idea is that it's understandable to not trust a yaoguai because of their nature potentially taking over. However, killing one out of fear for the unknown or potential outcome is unnecessary and wrong.

[@MyHandle4455]

Was the story of Black Myth written out in the game somewhere? How did you put all of this together with the original lore? Amazing work.

[@Williamsweeb]

Thank you and sorry for the late reply. There are characters descriptions in English on Fandom.com which I believe they translate from a Chinese site about Black Myth Encyclopedia

[@Williamsweeb]

Watching the classic TV series was a big help too.

[@joshuazhang3009]

in the game,press Esc, where there's a sector of background stories, every boss charactor and goon have a little piece of short story, putting up these pieces you can learn a relatively awhole story. and there's novel journey to the west, its settings are admit into black myth storyline by default

Are u gonna do lore on the lesser bosses like mad tiger non able monk from the sea or that fox chick ?

[@Williamsweeb]

Thank you! I'll try to cover as much noteworthy characters as possible.

[@ronaldchristian4313]

I think there's a lot of potential for improvement in your videos. I know you’re capable of creating something really great. First off, I think the music editing could use a little more attention. There are several instances where the music cuts off or changes abruptly, and it’s quite jarring. It really disrupts the flow of the video and makes it harder to stay immersed in what you’re presenting. Smoother transitions would go a long way in making the videos feel more polished. Another thing I noticed is with the pronunciation of certain terms. For example, it’s “Yellowbrow,” not “Yellowbrows,” and hearing the extra “S” added repeatedly was honestly a bit distracting. It’s a small detail, but it’s important to get these things right, especially when the audience is likely familiar with the lore and will notice mistakes like that. Speaking of pronunciation, I think enunciation is another area to focus on. There were a few moments where your words were mumbled or unclear, and it made it difficult to fully understand what you were saying. Being more deliberate and clear in your delivery would make a huge difference. One thing that really stood out to me was the long pause between “Black Myth... Wukong.” It felt oddly placed and disrupted the pacing of the video. I think tightening moments like that could make your content feel much more professional and engaging.Lastly, and this is probably the biggest point for me, I feel like the lore of this game is incredibly dense and rich, but it seems like you’re speeding through it. Instead of taking the time to delve into the details and really connect with the audience, the explanations feel rushed, almost like you’re just trying to get through them. This is such a fascinating subject, and I think slowing down and really exploring the material could make a world of difference. Right now, it feels a little phoned in, and that’s a shame because there’s so much potential here. Overall, I think your videos have a lot of promise, but they could benefit from a bit more care and attention to these areas. I’m sharing this because I enjoy your content and see the potential for it to be even better. I hope you take this as constructive feedback and keep working to improve.

[@Williamsweeb]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback. I really appreciate comments like this because they help me see what viewers want for improvement. You're right about the abrupt transitions. I have used remixes music theme of the TV series from chapter 5 lore video and will pay more attention to this in future videos to ensure smoother editing. How depth the lore should be include in the videos is something I’ve gone back and forth on a lot. The lore of JTTW is vast, many fan theories among other depictions and not as familiar to many in a Western audience. My current approach is creating short videos under 30 minutes that provide digestible insights into the moral stories and wisdom connecting the game to the novel. Your feedback makes me realize there’s a real opportunity to explore the details more thoroughly in longer video just focus on one aspect at a time, like a video just about yaoguais aspire to become immortality i'm making. Ultimately, I want my videos to resonate with viewers who share a passion for the story and the game, so feedback like yours is invaluable. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts, and I’ll keep working to make my content better! 😊

[@ronaldchristian4313]

@@Williamsweeb You're very welcome! I'm glad my feedback could help, and I want to say how much I appreciate the effort you put into your content. It’s clear that you’re passionate about the game and the story, and that passion comes through in the videos you create. The fact that you’re open to feedback and always looking to improve really sets you apart. I love your idea of diving deeper into specific aspects of the lore, like the video you mentioned about yaoguais aspiring to immortality. That sounds absolutely fascinating, and I can’t wait to see how you approach it. I wanted to share a little about how I play this game because I think it might give you some insight into why your videos resonate with me so much. I’ve got a very unique approach-I take my time with every chapter. I just finished Chapter 3, and I mean just finished. While most people I know rushed through the game and beat it long ago, I’ve been pacing myself deliberately. For me, it’s about savoring the experience. I’ve been waiting for this game since it was announced in 2020, and it was my most anticipated release for all those years. So, when it finally came out, I knew I wasn’t going to just rush through it. I wanted to take my time and soak in every detail, every conversation, every cutscene. What I do is play a chapter very slowly-sometimes it takes me weeks to get through one. I record all the important story cutscenes, conversations, and boss fights as I go. But even with all that, I often find myself confused by certain things in the story or the lore. That’s when I turn to KZbin for help, and this is where your videos come in. After finishing a chapter, I start devouring lore videos. I watch as many as I can, often rewatching them to really absorb the details. Then, I go back to the story cutscenes, boss fights, and conversations I recorded and revisit them with all the context I’ve gained from the lore videos. It’s like everything suddenly clicks into place, and it all makes sense. That moment when the pieces come together is so satisfying-it’s honestly one of the most rewarding parts of playing this game for me. It’s a long and slow process, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Taking my time lets me really appreciate the depth of the story and the world, and it feels like I’m giving the game the respect it deserves. The way I see it, I’ve been waiting for this game for years, so why rush through it in a matter of weeks? This approach means that I’m only now finishing Chapter 3, but I feel so much more connected to the story because of it. And your videos have been a huge part of that. They’ve helped me bridge the gaps in my understanding and made me appreciate the lore on a much deeper level. I think you’re doing something really important by making these videos accessible to a Western audience. The lore of JTTW is so vast, and there’s so much depth to explore that a lot of people might not even realize. I love that you’re providing digestible insights while still staying true to the moral stories and wisdom behind the source material. And I totally get the challenge of balancing depth with accessibility-it’s not easy, but you’re doing a fantastic job. That said, I’d definitely love to see some longer videos where you really dive deep into specific topics, like the yaoguais or other fascinating aspects of the lore. For someone like me, who enjoys analyzing and revisiting every detail, those kinds of videos would be a dream. Thank you again for all the hard work you put into your channel. Your content has genuinely made my experience with this game so much richer and more rewarding. I’m excited to see what you come up with next, and I’ll definitely be watching (and probably rewatching) your future videos. Keep up the amazing work-you’re making a real difference for fans like me!

Better put more in game videos or just lore history photos and not the weird old movie, it kinda ruins everything. Apart from that amazing work and much appreciation for all the effort you put into these videos

[@hellbunniez3]

nah, the 1986 tv show is a vital part of it that further explains the story. it’s an essential additional aid when it comes to explaining the game itself. it doesn’t ruin it, and instead adds a visual guide on what happened since it delves into the history of the bosses before they came to be in black myth wukong (which essentially places the game after the main story.)
