    I've been playing for (kinda) the first time recently, and I've done pretty good with understanding that things are propably more scared of me than I am of them. But the sparse reef. Oh God the sparse reef. That was the first time I'm my playthrough so far that I felt genuine terror. The PDA telling me that it seems usually sparse didn't help me feel any better, just starting making me think of what could cause it to be that way. Is the area itself dangerous? Or maybe it's sparse, because anything that enters is quickly swooped up by something else. It freaked me out a ton.

    Considering that you said you have no knowledge of JTTW, I can understand why you don't understand the point of the vessels and the cheat code they are. In the Novel, when they came up to facing certain enemies, they didn't succeed without these vessels. The Chinese would have known or even expected these items to be in the game, and understood why you need them. An example is the black wind bear. In the novel, the fire mantle is what saved the Tang monk and his party from the fire caused by Elder Jinchi because he wanted to steal the monk's kasaya. The weavers needle is similar, as was the wind tamer, and even the fan in chapter 5. They were essential to the original story and the only way for Wukong to topple these challenges. So its not necessarily a balancing issue, as its a take of the original story. This may help you understand why these items/secret areas are tied to the secret boss that leads to the good ending, and why only those who explore the games content, or have foreknowledge of the original novel, will succeed in getting that secret ending.

    • @LucidLetsPlay

    OMG, we share such similar experience of Black Myth Wukong. I had also died to similar bosses as you, and found other bosses relatively easy. I found Captain Wise-Voice camera issues was bothering as-well, but not too hard to defeat after five death to him. I came to realize if hitting his leg the HP drop was way too slow, it must not be the correct way to attack. And camera issue didn't bother me since I knew I need only to watch my step. By understanding the core mechanics are save all bursts abilities till phase two, when he went down, I used light attack combos and immobilized him "right after" to extend his weakened phase (if hit with heavy attack he will rise much faster) . I finally defeat him within two rotations, and felt so good about myself of figuring it out. The frustrating thing / awesome parts of this game is the dev's team really puts you in the position to think alike Wukong ( who is extremely smart and always figure out solutions in novel < journey to the west >.

      The game taught me a lesson: You can't complain that the rock is too hard if you keep hitting your head against it. I fought hours against the Wandering Wight, the first real boss that I encountered. After defeating it I learned that you can totally skip it and come back later when you are stronger and better! This game isn't open world but it doesn't have to be linear unless your mindset is linear.

    The explanation for why the juvenile ghost leviathans is actually implied when you find the egg tree in the lost river. Basically it appears as though the lost river doesn’t have enough resources to supplement the adults, and that they go down into the lost river to lay their eggs as to protect their children as there is a lack of leviathan-sized predators in the lost river. As the babies grow up and need more food they venture out into the wider ocean

      Thanks for the feedback! :) In my opinion, I feel like the game is holding itself back in some aspects because of it's focus on completing the run ASAP, ie. if you don't get to the end as soon as you can, you'll die, which then makes all of the long term features like crafting etc feel a little lacklustre. But at the same time, it's designed to feel replayable from it's roguelike elements.
