To me that motif represents the journey itself. It makes me feel like I’m experiencing all of his memories of it while staring at his figure in disbelief. It’s like he never left his journey and is still here, alive.
I was playing this right next to my dad and he was more excited than me (he is 66) i shared the game with him and he cannot wait for the next DLC chapters, he even bought the books because the history got him!
When he takes the relics that high pitched ocarina? Just gives Naruto fight vibes haha but love the mythology love the story love the game wukong is the shit
My reaction when experiencing 3:50 during my boss fight: "This man is about style on me in ways I've never seen in my gaming career." And that he did. He yoinked my fucking heals, ragdolled my ass then proceeds to tell me to get the fuck up and grabs my staff just so he can ragdoll me again.
10:00 - 10:52 You know this is it, this is the moment. This is the last minute of the final epic duel, and all your past adventures flash back before your eyes...
"With a golden crown upon my head, clad in gold-made armor, in hand, the powerful Jingubang I wielded, on feet, the Cloudtreaders. Under my command, forty-seven thousand yaogauis strong, all hailed me as the Great Sage, a figure of peerless renown."
3:46 best part because remind me of journey to the west, the sunset and the way great sage broken shell grabbed the jingubang and put it between his shoulders it gave me goosebumps because that pose was so iconic🥶
I truly believe this is one of the greatest final bosses in video game history. Difficulty, interesting combat, music, spectacle, story set-up, general fun factor, it has it all!
I went to check the intro of the 1986 live action series. There are several points where the game theme pays homage to that old series. I can only imagine how the people who grew up with that old series will be shedding some tears of joy
Yes, and it’s actually more than that. It’s not just the series we grow up with, for example I actually never saw that series in full when I grew up, but this theme melody is just everywhere, it’s in the culture, it’s almost in ALL journey to the west or Wukong adapted works, so the moment we hear it our blood burns as we think of the spirit the monkey king represents - a hero, powerful, sass, aims for justice, and a guarantee for victory
Thats one of the best gaming moments ever, at least for us Western players who do not know Wukong as much as you guys. Also his Stage 2 when he takes back relics and does the stance, the hype. 10/10,
If u skip the cutscene this part will play mostly when he grabs u and hit u with his duplicates, it gives u "this is it! this is the end" kinda feeling, you and the final boss are fighting eachother both on your max potencials, so damn good!.
Sorry but I keep repeating the intro in this video reminding me of the 1986 theme but an epic version. When the Great Sage’s Shell and Jingubang just came out like that, I had chills 🔥
God…I remember hearing that music…and seeing that stance…it was like he was just about done warming up and was ready to really test me for his name…No other game in my life made me feel so frustrated, mesmerized, awed, angry, and yet so fulfilled
Bro i love you SO FREAKING MUCH for this !! I was looking for this theme , "the greatest yaoguai" was the boss theme but it didnt have the same impact as it does when you fight the boss , because it didnt have the percussions when the boss reveals himself I guess they remixed some parts for that one ! Thanks for the upload
The first moment when stone monkey became the shell of the great sage had a similar impact of Stephen Chow's "JtTW : conquering the demons" when Sanzeng unwittingly unleashed Wukong from his imprisonment as he transform from a weird ol'dude to his sage battle armor along with "Dagger Society Suite" intro ( stephen likes adding this). Remaking "Cloud Palace Fast Music" into a "Celestrial Symphony" is one thing but into a battle theme? 😮 When you hear a triumphant Opera music playing especially with the Suona blaring, this is going down serious.
the intro with Suona leading in the entrance of wukong's old shell is PEAK, and with the percussion along with stringed instrument as well. 0:00 - 0:50 this is the best final boss fight theme YET once phase 2 comes in after the shell got his relics, this is where the flute comes in. 2:54 - 4:02
You need to play more aggressively for this boss compared to last bosses. You have to time your dodges well enough that you can hit him when he's winding up combos. Dont wait until a chain ends to try and hit him, or he'll immediately jump into another
I like to think that each broken shell is actually the previous destined one. EG: Currently, I'm gonna be facing the 2nd destined one when i get there on my current ng++ run
It's easy getting beat up with a weapon by a Yaoguai or a Wargod who can Split Mountains with his axe. But getting Beat Up by a broken mindless Shell with a glorified measuring Stick is just on a whole new level and deserves the best theme ever
My one gripe. I wish we couldn't get wukongs armour and weapon until we defeated this boss. To solidify that we have taken up the mantle of wukongs legacy.
If you watch the TV series Journey to the West, you should know that this is a remake of the episode “real/fake monkey king” where wukong battles his evil “imposter”(evil side, original sin). The great sage’s broken shell has all of Wukong’s 6 senses, but he is no longer Wukong, because this Wukong no longer has nature of Buddha. So we must defeat him.
Great! Can you do the second fight with Erlang the Sacred Divinity, the secret boss on Mount Mei? I've noticed that the ingame version of the track differs quite a bit from the soundtrack version, so I'd like to hear the ingame version as well.
@@FindingPurposes Nice! I'll keep an eye out for that, then. I've just beaten Erlang myself (after 2 days and 30+ attempts), so his theme is very ingrained in my head atm
I actually find it interesting that many people felt taunted by that … because I felt like he showed some integrity in that, like, “I won’t fight someone without a weapon, stand up and let’s fight again”. That was my natural reaction to that. Maybe it’s a cultural thing? I think many Chinese or Asian people grew up with Wuxia (martial art) stories would feel the same. Also I feel respect and pity to Wukong always even if he’s a boss monster
@Kazeasa it's how he picks your weapon up with his staff and kicks it at you while your getting up, which knocks you on your ass again. Then eggs you on to attack again 😂 but I do see you point.
Black Myth: Wukong playlist:
ua-cam.com/play/PLjt1riIlLJTH-VvFVcyYoBFHO9OKFq0lV.html&si=wZLFxohEDUBHcf6f
3:46 Sends chills down my spine. Feels so wistful like “A Hero once lost, returns one final time”
Through in this case, it's "Will this be the last time?" as the true ending the Destined One and Wukong become one, the latter truly returns
That pose and the music just screams Wukong. That moment really tells the players we’re not fight a mere empty shell here.
The flute, the stance, the framing of the shot... So damn cool. Wish the flute instrument was used more in the track though.
Sun wukong: foolish boy you using it wrong, let me show you how to properly use it.
*wukong using the full potential of the wukong stance on My tail*
To me that motif represents the journey itself. It makes me feel like I’m experiencing all of his memories of it while staring at his figure in disbelief. It’s like he never left his journey and is still here, alive.

Hope he’s enjoying the book 🤙
Is there DLC coming?
@@juanlaise1059yes, but need some time, maybe 2 years later😅
What books?
The entire sequence where Wukong summons his staff is so perfectly synched with the music, it's ecstatic.

I loved that scene, the clasic Wukong stance,, and the combo witch the clones and then basiclaly telling "get Up, i am not done with you"
That same feeling in Sekiro when Owl Mikiri countered you and you realized who you're fighting.
@@silenthero2795 Really "Remember who taught you this, boy."
Sounds like something senza would say 😂😂
@@silenthero2795
Honestly, Owl should've had more moments like that
0:16 gives me goosebumps every time!
5:08 BOSS : hey son, wtf r u doing?
“Clone”
Bro really said: "Nu-uh. You ain't getting a heal from that. You're too young to drink anyways."
They are same as Erlang Shen said only Sun Wukong can defeat Sun Wukong.
This is probably one of the most disrespectful moments I’ve seen in recent gaming 😂 but it’s so on character for him I love it 🔥
Caught u sipping
One of the coolest, most visually appealing final boss fights I've played through in years. Extraordinary soundtrack, too.
Couldn't agree more!
Name of sound track?
The first minute is you finding out you're not the main character this whole time
Or to be more precise, that this battle is about earning the right to get the torch passed to you
A wright of passage from the Great Sage himself .he must make sure you worthy to take on his mantle after all.
10:00 - 10:52 You know this is it, this is the moment. This is the last minute of the final epic duel, and all your past adventures flash back before your eyes...
You know it’s on when you hit this part
One of the best if not my favorite final boss theme ever
This fight alone makes this GOTY
"With a golden crown upon my head, clad in gold-made armor, in hand, the powerful Jingubang I wielded, on feet, the Cloudtreaders. Under my command, forty-seven thousand yaogauis strong, all hailed me as the Great Sage, a figure of peerless renown."

0:20 PEAK
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO APPRECIATES THIS PART.
I love it so much I want to play it at my funeral. The guests will freak out LOL.
My inner kid is screaming my soul to fight him with honour and admired.
Black myth wukong is probably one of the rarest games ive played that i feel like i can replay over 4 times again and again
6:05 holy sh- I'm ascending
Man the stand gives me goosebumps 3:50🔥
I believe this pose pays homage to another Sun Wukong-based film character
When he stands on the staff and the camera tilts so far to the sky you can't even see the ground anymore, he gains +1000 aura

Oh, so I'm not the only one who thinks the bgm is hot af at 10 seconds :3 I've honestly been playing the start of the song over and over again looool
Erlang: I can't kill that monkey, no one can, except HIMSELF.
That's why you can destroy the great sage's broken shell, even Erlang couldn't do that.

@@deathsmile3668Celestial symphony
Tell us the specific song name please

This part really makes me ascend
The intro cutscene sounds ABSOLUTELY legendary
Bro i love you SO FREAKING MUCH for this !! I was looking for this theme , "the greatest yaoguai" was the boss theme but it didnt have the same impact as it does when you fight the boss , because it didnt have the percussions when the boss reveals himself
I guess they remixed some parts for that one ! Thanks for the upload
Thanks for watching! Yeah, some bgm for ingame library music and ingame boss fight ver have few differences.
Thank you i've been waiting for this track
Enjoy!
Everytime he hit me with a spell or charged attack I went, "That's bullshit! But I guess that's how all the bosses felt..."
You get a taste of how 妖怪 in 西遊記 felt, when they tried to eat Tang Monk and have the misfortune ever facing Wukong
"You must have heard stories about him."
"Some say he helped Tang Monk fetch the scriptures, was granted Buddhahood, and stayed at Mount Lingshan thereafter."
My GOAT
Absolutely peak boss music
0:42 to 0:50 is the best thing ive ever heard in a while.
I can't stop watching this video.
I just love gameplay whit music its making me having flash back to this boss and how many problems i had beating him,its such well done boss
Well said!
0:20 is cold bruh

Remaking "Cloud Palace Fast Music" into a "Celestrial Symphony" is one thing but into a battle theme? 😮
When you hear a triumphant Opera music playing especially with the Suona blaring, this is going down serious.
I’m really impressed by the storytelling in Black Myth: Wukong.
Anyone else using this legendary theme to fuel them to incredible pain and suffering but overcoming it all and achieving new levels at the gym!
This was the first time ever I didnt mind dying and replaying to a worthy boss and worthy music
Damnnnn! This is the best soundtrack I have been looking for! You da best
That instrument is so badass. The one that sounds like a horn but isn't. cuz it have such an rough edge to it.
The instrument that you mention might be the suona.
@@FindingPurposes Awesome!
suona is a "too sharp" instrument
This is one of the greatest boss fights in gaming history imo

Thank you so much for this video!! I think many people searched for this video after completing chapter 6, truly top notch music, masterpiece!!!!
Doing Gods work. Thanks
is he called broken shell cause hes like a husk of wukong? Damn a dead body that still can fight thats cool.
Well the fight doesn't take place in a physical realm so not exactly
Correct. The player is Wukong's mind. The broken shell is Wukong's body, moving on instinct alone.
And disrespectful on us player he freaking disrespect
@@jimmytuplano3843 Which is completely in-character for Sun Wukong. If the guy could teabag you, you know he absolutely would.
@@aRandomFox00so that disrespect is ingrained into his instinct? Shiet😂

Enjoy! 👍
0:16 when I realized I'm the bad guy now.
Nope, you are the newbie, and he is your senior
No good or evil, just a rite of passage.
you are not his replacement you are his successor ,he need to make sure you past this final trial with flying colour.
0:17 someone NEEDS to make a cover that empathizes on this specific part
This boss did what I thought was impossible: be a boss as masterfully done as Isshin Ashina
The ENTIRE phase 3 section…Im fucking ascending
Time to be stuck on this boss for 5 months
Eventually you start seeing his patterns & are able to predict what he's going to do
You need to play more aggressively for this boss compared to last bosses. You have to time your dodges well enough that you can hit him when he's winding up combos. Dont wait until a chain ends to try and hit him, or he'll immediately jump into another
11:00 realizing this is your future destiny if you finshe the game without fighting erlang is pretty intense.
Guy sure has a lot of sass for a souless husk.
Evidently Great Sage’s Broken Shell may have been soulless but not swagless
pure art right there
phase 3 ost is my fav... for me that just so perfect every sound 😮
I like to think that each broken shell is actually the previous destined one. EG: Currently, I'm gonna be facing the 2nd destined one when i get there on my current ng++ run
That’s a very good point. I don’t know if that’s canon but, honestly sounds cool to me.
That would be dope, but this is Wukongs empty body
Much love ! 🥰

We are all like Wukong, because we all have an evil side (心魔）. Only after subduing our evil version can we achieve buddhahood (sainthood).
