With Black Myth Wukong now out in the wild and breaking records left and right on Steam, players are finally getting to grips with its sort of soulslike gameplay, and running up against its spectacular and often tough boss fights.
While Black Myth Wukong is more easy-going than FromSoftware’s games, for example, with no meaningful punishment upon death, there’s one mini-boss encountered very early in the game that’s ripping unsuspecting players to shreds.
Warning! Black Myth Wukong spoilers follow:
In the Outside the Forest area of the Forest of the Wolves, which you’ll get to about half an hour or so into the game, you’ll hear an odd noise coming from across the way. It’s an extremely tough and, we must stress very optional, mini-boss with a giant head.THE WANDERING WIGHT IN BLACK MYTH WUKONG.
This is the Wandering Wight, which Black Myth Wukong players are already singling out as one of the toughest mini-bosses in Chapter One. Some fans have already given it various nicknames (‘Blue Bobblehead Thanos’ made me laugh).
Across Discords, subreddits, and social media, Black Myth Wukong players are reporting that they have spent or are still spending hours dying to the Wandering Wight before they either emerged victorious or moved on. And here’s something I can relate to: some are saying they’re too stubborn to move on until they’ve defeated the Wandering Wight, even though it’s entirely optional, encountered very early in the game, and would be a much easier fight later on once you’ve improved your character’s abilities and stats a bit.

The Wandering Wight is a particularly tough optional boss early on.
I’ve died to this thing at least 10 times. You can bypass him, of course, but advanced players will want to challenge themselves here.#BlackMythWukong #wukong pic.twitter.com/lUEDdJOHE5

The Wandering Wight is causing so much trouble because its fast, hard to avoid attacks do a huge amount of damage to early game players who are yet to increase their health pool. Similarly, it has loads of health itself, making it a bruising fight to take on.
If you’re currently banging your head against the Wandering Wight, be sure to check out IGN’s Wandering Wight Boss Fight and Guide. While you’re here, IGN has plenty more Black Myth Wukong guides to help you out, including Essential Tips and Tricks, Things Black Myth Wukong Doesn’t Tell You, and our Boss List and Guides.
Meanwhile, developer Game Science has apologized for any tech or performance issues players have encountered since the game went on sale earlier this week. Game Science took to Black Myth: Wukong’s Steam page to issue a statement promising patches aimed at these performance issues.
IGN’s Black Myth: Wukong review returned an 8/10. We said: “Despite some frustrating technical issues, Black Myth: Wukong is a great action game with fantastic combat, exciting bosses, tantalizing secrets, and a beautiful world.”
This week, IGN verified an email sent from the Black Myth: Wukong marketing team that told content creators who were granted a Steam key that they must not include “feminist propaganda” or use what are called “trigger words” such as COVID-19 in their coverage.
Chinese studio Game Science has yet to respond to IGN’s previous report compiling numerous sexist comments made by the studio’s founders and other developers spanning the last decade.
