Apologies for the slight hum in the background of some of the audio, couldn’t quite remove the neighbor’s noise. Hope you still enjoy!

Beautiful vid regardless. Love the commentary 👌🏾

The needle's power comes from the sun.When roost crying in dawn, the sun rise. Dawnstar`s thorat cut by a golden hairpin(not the needle)which belongs to Jade Emperor's wife who use the hairpin create the galaxy. When Sun Wukong failed, dawnstar and his mother whom helped Sun in jornary to the west was murdered by the high court.

hundred eye was hired by the Jade emperor's daughter(his master who gave him two celestial eggs from Konglong Mountain where the Jade emperor's wife live) to collect wills from the ground by transfoming creations in differet species, even the spider sisters are his tools to accomplish his quest

The lore is rebellion. The author of Journey to the West was a bureaucrat who quit his job (very rare in ancient China) to write fantasy. The book was widely considered fantasy/political satire. The game makes it clear that all in game tragedies in the end lead to the play/pride of gods/heaven/high authority, and calls to the players to rebel. That's why the last chapter and true ending animation is about "unfinished business".

[@georgesiew6203]

This is an interpretation that fails to appreciate how Confucian really think. Rebellion is always the least favored choice of Confucians because it is full of unintended consequence and collateral damage. The point of this story is not to tell you that rebellion at the cost of burning down the world is the right thing to do. It is in fact telling you the opposite. The story is dark in that it shows you the real world is full of corruption but it also doesn't mince words in showing you that this corruption can only be fixed through deep moral contemplation and not simple minded emotionally pleasing outbursts. Wukong is the story of the heart without a mind that is self defeating until it undergoes the transformation of moral cultivation.

[@slatealan7082]

aren't it tittle unfinished because the dev original intended to make 11 episode?

[@amberyao6493]

I think rebellion spirit of Wukong is not the core of the original novel but is emphasized by Mao Zedong. Mao related Wukong to the revolution of China and refreshed this figure, so Wukong's is more related to rebellion and revolution today.

[@YouAlreadyKnowBabi]

This is exactly it.

[@MarkMiller304]

@@amberyao6493I think in today’s context is rebellion against the current world order.

Black Wind Bear could fight Sun WuKong himself toe to toe for a whole day and made it to a tie, that is to say he is not uncapable of, simply more clever. He understands the consequences of touching Sun WuKong's relics, thus he only used it as a glowing symbol for attractions to do business, thus he is the only Big YaoGuai King who got a good ending. (He begged for mercy and lived, the other ones either died or family ruined)

[@godzilla4189]

Wukong: "Fuck the Celestial Court." Erlang Shen: "Me Too." Nezha: "Me Three." Jiang Ziya: "Me Four." Asura from Asura's Wrath: "I don't know who they are, but they sound like the gods I killed. Count me in."

[@BDL3035]

Kratos: “This all sounds strangely familiar to me, so count me in too!”

Man fuck the Jade Emperor, all my homies hate him. Put Quan Yin on the throne in his place

[@6Star_Kidd]

Ngl I never got Nezha, so he hates the court but actively fights with them and helps them ?? Is he like an undercover agent or something ??

JTTW was a political satire with deep philosophical and social understanding at the first place. Even 500 years ago, the very first group of readers feel the similar emotion as we do in game.

补充下： 1黄风怪是因变鼠事件而愧疚，离开斯哈里国去了隔壁的黄风邻 2游戏文本并没有证明昴日是有进入黄眉的人种袋，昴日和亢金并不是一起离开，百眼幕后的神仙影射西王母

Damn ... you're almost as good as Vaatividya is with Souls-bourne games. Looking forward to more contents like this. Kinda hope you'd do Black Myth franchise in the far future

[@funivids1995]

you know a game is great when it brings out greatness in people love your work sir

[@sak_69]

the novel is actually very realistic storytelling (almost)no one is pure evil and no one is purely good. everyone has their own motives and morals.

[@Usualsuspect101]

This game should win the GOTY award undoubtedly if sane human beings voted for it!!

[@kestralzoe9310]

Thank you for sharing the lore. This definitely helps to understand the whats and whys behind these stories.

[@miguelaponte8876]

A interesting and depressing outcome for many of the characters from the novel/books. I wonder what the future holds for the game? Like will we see other characters in a possible expansion/DLC? Like Sandy?

[@Zerochilluwu]

Personally like how Wukong kills himself to break free from the cycle of constant enslavement as a nod to the idea of killing your own ego/mind to achieve enlightenment and let go of the meaningless attachments of self.

[@WymondTheWerewolf]

Wukong’s combat skills are impressive, but can he help me dodge my responsibilities like that?"

[@Ottovonostbahnhof]

It's called "BLACK MYTH" Wukong for a reason.

I swear Scorpion Lord was the only boss I didn’t beat in my first playthrough. I just couldn’t beat him so I explored further to try to level up more. Bad idea haha he came in like Falcon from Avenger all “On your Left”

[@lowshuang1592]

A very good video of textual research.

[@dfafdasdfasdsfadsf]

The lore of Black Myth Wukong is deeply influenced by Chinese mythology and Journey to the West. Immersive Translate helped me connect with these elements better.

[@周公来]

大致一致，但是有几点需要补充： 1.毗蓝婆菩萨 的双手被砍，一只在盘丝洞变成佛手虫，一只变成青蛙的舌头。 2.红孩儿在正传中并不清楚自己的身世。

Im just calling the Destined one Son Goku. Wukong and his successor Goku.

[@Siex99]

Son Goku and Son Wukong is one and the same. Goku is just the Japanese translation for Wukong.
