Sun Wukong is Finally Free (True Ending) Black Myth WUKONG

[@keikan0407]

I think the animation at the end is the reverse story of The Journey of the West story. It will be easier to understand if you watch its 1986 TV series. The game developers did it on purpose, in order to briefly explain Sun Wukong’s original journey in the novel.

[@andreiriboli]

Yep. It's supposed to be the Destined One (Wukong's Mind) finally getting all of Wukong's memories in order to not allow the headband to be put on him again.

[@kingpin2731]

This is what Wukong has always wanted since you can’t reach enlightenment and be free, it’s either faithful devotion or spiritual freedom.

[@orale_]

So the moral of the story is there is a wukong inside of all of us trying to get out and that the journey to the west isnt about the distance but about the friends and monke we meet along the way

[@Tau_Aquila]

I mean goofiness aside yes that is the story😂

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="693">11:33</a> OMG, that moment was when the animation transitioned from flashbacks to the present moment. Noticed that right before that there were living people, and right after you only see weapons stuck in the ground. This likely symbolized that his army had fallen. Then Wukong walk out into the world with absolute freedom!

[@konstantinoskatsianis3079]

Sorry, but the whole animation sequence was basically a look backwards in time, from the end to the journey to the west to the beginning and Son Wukong's imprisonment. The discarded weapons were actually the weapons that he was offered, but none fit him before he found his staff that was actually a giant pillar meant to measure the ocean. He then shrinked it and stuffed it in his ear

[@TonyL-q9i]

@konstantinoskatsianis3079nah the first part was JTTW played in reverse as The Destined One regains Wukong’s memory. The last part is where the Destined One drinks a toast to the memory of his fallen brothers before he goes forth to destroy the Celestial Court after the end of the game.

[@brandenmarcum430]

⁠@@brandonbaerga4972Journey to the West was written by a man who satires Chinese bureaucracy. The Celestial Court is like the politicians and nobles of China, and Sun Wukong sought freedom. But in his quest for freedom, he was short tempered, too quick to handle things with his staff rather than his words. Over time, he grew patient and understanding. This game shows that Wukong still desires his freedom, but now he’s going about it the ways that he’s learned in his past life.

[@joshuagarcia6439]

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="69">1:09</a> you can see them clashing, well if you use Earlongs spear you can see the spear point going through the stone monkeys hand a bit it’s pretty cool difference depending on the weapon you use.

[@Ratio429]

Oh wow. Yeah I was wondering if it broke through his hand. Looked just like that.

[@AzureProtagonist]

I like the music because it makes it more epic but it's something about everything being silent while still having the appropriate sound effects that just hits different I don't know why.

[@JeusAlprime108]

I have a theory, since the celestial court would send those mongrel to guard Huaguo mountain, outside of the stone, of course they wouldn't missed out to place someone inside of the stone to keep track of the Wukong resurrection. So who are that old monkey tbh? Judging by how each of Wukong full armor set could took a living form, why wouldn't that headband which is given by Guanyin Bodhisattva took a living form too? Hence my theory is that old monkey is actually the living form of that headband which is given by Guanyin to serve as Lingshan spy to monitor the resurrection progress at the finish line of the journey and bind the new Wukong once again with that headband constraint once he is about to resurrect.

[@j.c1789]

Sadly your theory is not true because we saw the headband fall from wukong broken shell which was his dead body...

[@JeusAlprime108]

@@j.c1789 nah, that sounds like another piece of evident to explain, how can that old monkey enter the stone before everyone does, and also how he can enter the battleground in between Wukong broken shell and the destined one, even tho he told bajie they as third party unable to enter and interupt the process. Because the real form of the old monkey is the headband that sealed on Wukong forehead, that's why the old monkey can't venture any further than Huaguo mountain, just like how most keeper in each chapter can't leave their territory.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="560">9:20</a> Is that a reference to the Six Eared Macaque?

[@Ruanmeiclone]

Yes

[@gethk.gelior4214]

IIRC the four heavenly monkeys or what they were called, the long armed ape, the red assed monkey (yes that was its name), the six eared macaque and the illuminated stone monkey which is wukong himself. The four were friends back in the huaguo mountain era. At least the arm and ass were wukong's advisors. I'd the way six ears gave wukong a lot of trouble but they never talked about back in the day is kinda strange, considering the whole king bull arc.

I no their is no next game and I’m fine with that, but I’d like to imagine the second part would be us being the new wukong and going to the heavens to finally take down the jade emperor and buddha, just like in god of war.

[@2Good2BeTrue45]

Why did you think there will be no next game? Game Science had already confirmed they are working on a massive story DLC which takes place after the good ending, which is this one and they have made a very clear intention that they want this to be a franchise, much like God of War, Spiderman, etc. That's why this game takes place AFTER Journey to the West and creates its own story, with Wukong gaining his freedom and going off to finally get revenge against the Heavenly Court after he has regained his memories, thats what the finally scene is when he puts the bowl down and he is alone in the cave. That is the destined one/wukong after he left Old Monkey and rejected the headband

[@sumanamukherjee2423]

Not possible, jade emperor alone is way stronger than both erlang shen and wukong,there's 4 imperials too. And jade is not even the top dogs,there's still 3 pure ones, in the grand scale of themes in Chinese mythology, wukong is really weak

[@PerkasaJob]

meaning wukong died in the end, and his power become the destined one?

[@kush926]

Yep

[@MrDemonKing21]

As the Old Monkey said on the boat : "Yes, and no". Wukong is dead, his power are the relics, but not the 6th. The 6th is Mind, but mind always dissipates and is lost on Death. The Destined One is has his own Mind, his own Will. He's like a hybrid of Dead Wukong's Power, and new Destined Wukong's Mind. The old monkey also stated "The Universe will always bear him a successor." This is because the power of Wukong is actually a Primordial Force of The Universe itself. Hence the Stone Egg that Wukong is "born" from. He is basically Primordial Power given form, and The Universe will always make sure a new "Mind" comes to be in the event the current one dies.

[@PerkasaJob]

@@MrDemonKing21 It hurts to know Wukong is dead, coz he is my favorite character since kid, the game designer should not kill him, so saadd,

[@Marikus_Eternal]

@@MrDemonKing21The old monkey is wrong. He doesn’t know that Erlang secretly kept Wukong‘s mind for all these years. So when you regain the mind and combine it with the relics, Wukong is reborn. That’s the good ending.

@@PerkasaJobWukong is fully revived in the good ending. The old monkey doesn’t know that Erlang secretly kept Wukong‘s mind in his third eye, so when you retrieve it from him and combine it with the other relics, Wukong is reborn

If the six-eared macaque was an enemy why was wukong crying over him?

[@blackmark2899]

Because he's basically a mirror to Wukong and basically his one true peer. Both are Monkey Kings. There were, I think, 4 Monkey Kings in total but Macaque was the only one that could fight Wukong to a stalemate. Wukong respected him.

[@gethk.gelior4214]

@@annerockstar9851 TL;DR: Monke, "you" are stuck with this headband. Hint hint nudge nudge. Try ending life and pass on to someone else to not be "you". The headband was a tool of control. In the original novel, if he disobeys too much, his master uses a chant to constrict the headband causing him great pain and basically instant KO. Otherwise there's just no way a timid soft monk can control a monkey that's this much monke. At the end of the book, his headband was supposed to have been taken off upon ascension. (Btw in the novel the gang literally watched their own corpses get washed down river as they ascended past mortality) In this fight, he lost mainly due to the headband suddenly KOing him out of nowhere. So the gods still have a firm hold over his head, he isn't and cannot be free. It is permanently bound to his stone monkey body and as long as he's not neatly contained in a rock the gods will want to control him. For whatever reason, Erlangshen seems to want or at least not stop Wukong from breaking out of this control. He is reminding him that HE is bound to this curse. Passing his essence to someone who isn't can rectify that.

@@gethk.gelior4214 There's a lot of take why Erlang is siding with wukong in some scenario, (in the series of journey to the west) As we know Wukong has humiliate him, the celestrial, the buddha overlooked wukong's disrespectful manners towards the upper courts, but yet wukong always get out of trouble, as we know Erlang is like the oldest child who always wants everything perfect....
