Black Myth Wukong has shaken the gaming industry with its release. Not only does the game provide players with an immersive storyline but also gives them the difficulty of a souls-like that they need to overcome as the story progresses. With each chapter, the narrative and the combat difficulty take a sharp turn, keeping players in check.
With so many difficult bosses to fight, players will eventually find a foe that will make them feel disheartened. One of these bosses is the final boss, The Great Sage’s Broken Shell. This boss makes all the upgrades and equipment feel irrelevant due to its sheer power and moveset, even going to the length of recreating an iconic scene from The Avengers Movie.
Black Myth Wukong’s Final Boss Makes The Destined One Feel Puny
Black Myth Wukong takes its inspiration from Chinese Mythology and follows the Monkey King, Sun Wukong on his epic journey. During this journey, players will get to know the story of the character and fight various enemies along the way.
These creatures/bosses are also inspired by mythology but it seems like one of the moves from the final boss, The Great Sage’s Broken Shell is inspired by the popular movie The Avengers.
The scene from which the moveset is inspired contains Hulk and Loki. Just like how Hulk dwarfs Loki and thrashes him in the movie, the boss does the same move if the players fail to dodge some of its attacks. Not only is the whole fight the boss is disrespectful to the protagonist but also shows that players need to be careful during battle otherwise they will be squashed like Loki as well.
The fans have been very vocal about this, sharing this on various social media and gaming forums. By simply implementing a recognizable move to the boss, the developers have created a lot of engagement among the community. Players now look forward to fighting and trying their best to not let that happen to them and if it does, it’s a moment to share.
The clips highlight the coolness factor of the boss and how little details can make a huge impression on the players. After playing and watching other players’ reactions to the game, many feel this might just be one of the top contenders for game of the year, if not the best.
Why Do These Small Moments Matter?
Just like how players feel nostalgic about various long-awaited sequels when they see these familiar moves or a moment in video games or even a movie, a sense of connection occurs in most players. This not only increases the player’s engagement in the community but also allows moments like “Oh, I know this” from X or Y movies or video games.
By recreating the Hulk-Loki Scene in Black Myth Wukong, the game pays tribute to the brute strength of the Hulk but also showcases how powerful the final boss is. So if the player was able to defeat the final boss, it is a great feat. This feeling of accomplishment allows players to try out different ways to defeat the boss, increasing the replayability of the game.
This unexpected mashup will serve as a reminder that gaming can be very unexpected. Even though the boss fight is disrespectful it is a testament to the developer’s hard work and dedication that understands the task of what makes the games enjoyable.
In the end, players are enjoying the game, waiting to be tested to their absolute limits and passionately hoping that the game will win the Game of the Year award.
