A Boss Fight Like No Other in Black Myth Wukong
In Black Myth Wukong, players face off against The Great Sage’s Broken Shell, a boss that evolves from the Stone Monkey after being defeated in the second phase of the fight. This evolution isn’t just a change in appearance, it also brings with it a whole new set of challenges.
Stealing your potion IS WILD LMAO

The Broken Shell, mimicking the former glory of Sun Wukong, comes equipped with fast, long combos that are difficult to counter, along with challenging attacks that can easily catch even the most seasoned players off guard.
But what really stands out about this boss fight, and what has players feeling disrespected, is the fact that the boss has the ability to steal the player’s potions. This isn’t just a minor inconvenience but also a game-changer that can turn the tide of the fight pretty quick.
Game is awesome, but Great Sage’s Broken Shell is pure BS!

Players have taken to both X and Reddit to express their frustration, with one user even saying they have never felt so disrespected by a game before. The combination of the boss’s long combos, unpredictable attacks, and the ability to steal potions has left many players feeling like they’re up against an unfair challenge.
But still, it’s not as bad as Demon’s Souls final boss, Old King Allant, who rips away a few levels of experience from the player, making them a lot weaker.
The Boss Is a True Test of Patience and Skill
As if the first two phases of the fight weren’t challenging enough, this boss fight takes things to a whole new level in its final phase. After absorbing the five Relics collected throughout the player’s journey, the boss reaches nearly the full power of the Great Sage, Sun Wukong.
This phase of the fight has been described as pure frustration by some players, with two random events that can feel impossible to counter or dodge. These include the boss stealing the player’s flask so that the player can’t restore their health, and blocking heavy attacks, making it feel like every move is met with a counter.
The boss’s health also becomes a major issue, as it turns into a bullet sponge that takes ages to bring down. Players have shared their strategies for dealing with this phase, with some suggesting using spells like Pluck of Many combined with Immobilize or Wind Tamer to stun the boss and slowly chip away at its health.
However, even with these strategies, the final phase remains a true test of patience and skill, leaving many players questioning whether the challenge is worth the reward.
Black Myth Wukong’s boss fights are some of the most memorable and challenging in recent gaming history, but this final boss has left a mark on players in a way that few other bosses have
