basically if you fight erlang, he tell you why wukong has to die to get rid of his headband, the only thing that can shackle him. so in the good ending, you didnt let the old minkey put the headband on to you, complete wukong goal and become the reborn wukong
@@nightx7596 he has his. memories, but the player character is actually wukong mind, as the old monkey claims. erlang simply return his memories, and having someone memories is almost like you inside their mind
i am chinese who like very much. if you do not mind, i give you more infomation about what a lots of chinese players believe. a related video explains the ending has like 10 miliion thumbs up... 1. Erlang is not a bad guy, he had fought the celestrial court to save his mom using that big axe in before (in anothe myth, or say, novel of chinese erlang god.). he somehow is the same as wukong, not trusted by the celestrial court. 2. when erlang saw the headband reappearing from wukong's head(in the beginning of the game), he immediate know wukong is cheated by the celetrial court and immediately know what wukong was trying to do, so he played along and killed wukong as they at that moment kinda shared the mutual understanding: wukong want to " mortal death for undeath for an unbound mind and will(see what erlang says: one one can.....but at last, i see this is the only way, he had no choice and neither did I.01:03). 3. Erlang's trust to the celestrial court has gone after he see the headband, but he decide to keep his thinking to his own due to his unwillingness to fight the the court directly like he once did. so he decide to keep wukong's memory and will in his third eye in secret and then he hide himself in the wall painting (where we fight the erlang in the good ending). [you can read about it, in the decription of erlang and the child budda in the game memo.: the child budda helps erlang to hide in the painting so the court will not find him. ] 4. The bull's son and the black bear, they all wear different headbands given by the west budda world and the court. the court had said to them that their band were removed just like they said the band was removed from wukong. so, those monsters, they kinda know the cheating and know what to do to help wukong. think about this, when they know it is risky to keep wukong's body parts, why they still keep it? they were great monsters nothing lesser than wukong at all. because they do not trust the celestrial court too, they wanna see whether wukong can be successful in taking off the headband. (that is why the bull says: i am scared all my life, scared by my son and my wife. he is implying the court who is controlling his son and his wife according to the .). the bull is playing alone and secret helping wukong, so to help his kind. (p.s. bull's naive son try to use the power of wukong body part to gain strength to fight the court, and his son was so determined to gain that body part of wukong from his father, so he injured his own father. bulk cannot give it out because wukong's reborn is the only chance for his kind as well as his son to survive. so he had to let his son walk to his death, what a pitty and i could not imagine how hard that could be for the monster bulk king. 5. so actually, it is erlang and most of the monsters, who are trying to test the destined one to see whether the one is qualitied as a successor of wukong (see what erlang says in 09:23). because they know they will face the same destiny like wukong when wukong is truely gone. 6. the East celestrial court, the West budda world is actually in potical balance, applying the policy of appeasement between monsters. the fighting between the monsters are somehow proxy war (it is in the game memo too, but very hintful). they love to see the monsters, erlang, and the wukong getting weak, and love to see the destined one being put on the headband again too. 7. the whole story of wukong, in the journey to the west, and in this black myth, are all talking about monsters and those are considered lesser, play alone or fight back to to get freedom from a well centralized and very cruel polictical court. and some budda and some god in the celestrial court are helping wukong because they owe wukong a favor, or they own to wukong's real master, or they have conciousness so they help to see whether there could be the possible changes to that centralized court. 8. when erlang fights the destined one in the game, he often says: "no one can kill the monkey, except himself (01:23)". that is very hintful, saying he is not the one who kill wukong if it was not wukong wants it. after erlang loses to the destined one, he then says: "my brothers tested you at my behest, all for this day" (09:23)...." "mortal death for unbound mind and will" , "may you not fail him... i am now at peace..." (he is not angry at all and give back wukong's memory, again proves that erlang was taking his time to fully understand wukong's suicide, and he was helping but not murdering wukong in the first place. ) 9. remember if it is not erlang who killed wukong, there will be others who will keep fight wukong soon or later, today or another. and wukong will be hunted and eventually be killed because the headband is so powerful in restraining his immortal power. so, wukong had thought about that, then took erlang to the fight and then to a duel, actually means wukong trusted erlang with wukong's memory, mind and will. (they have very closed realtionship in other related chinese myth and related novels) 10. above are some conlusions to the good ending of wukong.
Wait so could you explain to me why did Sun wukong at the beginning of the game include erlang in part of those from the celestial court that was killing his kind? From what I’ve seen like people like you who knows the back story so well Ive seen y’all all explain erlang is actually a protagonist in the story. Thanks for the explanation, i read it all and it helped clear up a lot.
@@joshwilliams9922 thanks for reading. emmm, i received like 100 mails regarding chinese culture...and i understand that you have questions like others because you guys do not live in our cultural background. i lived in both of the cultures so i kinda understand at some point our immediate thoughts can differ. 1. Think in erlang's shoes: Erlang cannot dis-obey the orders from the celestrial court, otherwise the court will hunt him too. so, he had to kill the monkey's kind but not necessarily from his true will. in another word, he had to blend him in and earn trust from celetrial court. 2. then you need to think in monkey's shoes. if monkey know erlang's position he will understand why erlang had killed his kind. What should monkey say at that moment? monkey cannot say: "you from celestrial court are all bastards, oh, sorry, except erlang because i need erlang's help.. " so the monkey includes him, but that's not a blame to erlang. 3. Celetrial court never believes anyone, not erlang, not monkey. they are politicians, as long as erlang is killing then they do not mind what erlang's true thinking. they play powers and force people to kill to maintain their powers. so, all the monsters and erlang himself, they have to obey and lie, to pretend, and to find a twisting, suffering, and a very clever way to help in secret. did i explain it well? i do not know. but keep in mind, this is not just a novel or a game, it shows the darkside of the monarchy system. it happens in reality. in our history, each time when people wanted to destory the king and his system, no matter in what dynasty, they often ends up like wukong (the uprising leader), erlang(some general with good heart) and monsters(anyobe who helps). they all end up dieing until the power of the whole system gets weaker and gets to be eliminated.
In the bad ending, the new monkey is enslaved, gladly and willingly, again by the headband. In the good ending, with the memory from Erlang, he realized the meaning of the headband, so he refused, with his head raising up. It is quite photophysical. People do not know how good something is, until it is lost. And people do not know how evil something is, until they resume it.
What even is good or bad Wukong wasn't ever exactly 'good', rather consider him evil. If we know anything he even managed to attain pretentious buddhahood to potentially save his companions. So would a crazy monkey being free be considered good?
This makes the scene where he sits on wukong’s throne and repeating the lines wukong gave to him back in Journey to the West that much sadder. Somebody did a side by side comparison of it with the old TV show episode. 😭
Lol cause of half of the journey is just them cleaning up bajie mess. And at the end he did not even learn his lesson he just learn to restrained his desire. There is a reason why bajie do not become a buddha.
i mean he legit against Celestial, he did the same thing as Wukong but went deeper, then his mom n sis got hostage by them so he gotta work for them now, but deep inside he are not like them
flashback was to show his memories and to honour journey of the west - makes no sense to do journey when it already happened and the mc here went through similar one - next game will prob be new myth
@@deoa4360 brother u have no idea how different the journey to the west is compared to this game lol. those flashbacks are as if you were to take a 2 hr long movie and compact it into a 10 second summary, they could even have 2 sequals, one for his back story and one for his journey to the west
@@BoogieEmman You complaining for no reason. This story happens AFTER JTTW Wukong has already been given Buddha hood this is his revenge story AFTER becoming the fighting buddha. The art work thru out he game tells the story, THE ART WORK AT THE END is chapter 1-100 of JTTW told from the end to the beginning recapping for the new Wukong who at the end goes to be free like Wukong wanted.
@@Divineant21 thank u, 100+ chapters doing other stories etc for them to make a game it will be compacted - shows that Chinese company didn't want to directly "ruin" or "change" the myth soo they created their own story that takes influence from it instead, so in future they can do the same with another myth
@@deoa4360 Facts like that approach is so better than playing thru JTTW. I've seen so many version of JTTW that playing just wouldn't feel right. JTTW is a timeless title and work of art that this game RESPECTED the hell out of. An yes leaving it space to make its own Myth now which is what games about someone should do. Redoing already told stories is dying in the gaming world, hell in media period. Everyone wants something new and this game as to much potential to be tht. I have so much respect and love for Asian culture and lore, same for Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism and Wukong so this game as a American was a dream come true.
First playthrough and I missed the ENTIRE Erlong boss fight. I beat the game thinking, "so we just not gonna run it back with bro?". Its insane to me how you can just miss KEY fights like this one.
@@gokuson2530 he fought Erlang and won, gained past wukong memories saving him from wearing the headband, basically reincarnated version of wukong without any restriction from buddha (without the headband), he is free now
They say that if you read the story of journey to the west in reverse, it ends in a tragedy, it starts with the completion of journey at the western world, the group then forced to go back, and separate, they attempt a rebellion against the heavens after a punishment forced on wukong by the Buddha in an attempt to seal him, only to return to each where they belonged, defeated, wukong breaks his own cultivation as a punishment, never be allowed to cultivate again, then wukong spends the rest of his mortal life with his monkeys on the mountain, until he eventually dies, becoming a rock
For those who don’t know, it was confirmed that the whole entire story mode was basically inside of his head inside of Wukong head, I live in china here the translations are a little different but that’s why at the end the good ending it zooms out and we see that Wukong is still inside the rock But older
Wukong really different.. he got his staff snatched, beat em with it, used his moves against him, froze him, took his heals and drank it. N he still wants to fight this UPGRADED version of himself😭
so ur saying the souless body of the old sun wukong almost beated our A$$ with none of his senses while we got lots of equipments and still almost lost???! thats crazy!!! imagine the old wukong at full power!! unless i aint right about this, someone lmk lol if im wrong or something
@@mrchubzdathird5449 gameplay wise we beat that shell without any relics so I think the new monkey is stronger which is the new worthy mind for Sun Wukong. That’s just my assumption though needs confirmation
@@vc180191 I don’t think it’s relevant since we are in Wukong spiritual realm. The destined one (us) defeat the broken shell seems a metaphor that the chosen mind prove to be worthy by clearing his lungering obsession
Now i feel the theory about wukong and erlang doing something in the back, like their fight actually meaning for something like to find a way to remove the headband. Erlang helping wukong by testing the new wukong like destined one by searching the 6 medal. Erlang spread the medals to all his friends who he believed were suitable test places.
Wu Kong's body is made of stone. The sword wielder needs to exert power and magic in an intentional attack move to actually cut through his skin - just for a bit. During the above moment, the sword might slide against the stone but wouldn't be able to cut into it. But yeah, still a CGI glitch though, they could have made it better.
Ew no bro🤦🏽🤦🏽 I love wukong and all but this game is complete garbage even comparing to warhammer and that’s not even out yet..! There is way to much wrong with this game to consider it game of the year just because it has a good story
@@JahmeirMorris eh i guess thats what ya think and all but to most people and even i, this is absolutely a GOTY lel, keep hatin cuz ya aint doin shi xd.
Real question is, Sekiro or Wukong? Combat/gameplay wise, I give to Sekiro as the parries and combat was extremely satisfying & was more difficult. Graphic wise, Wukong's cinematics especially only for this fight was probably the best I've ever seen. I'll have them on equal terms but for different reasons if that makes sense. 10/10
@@fastnezy8984 yeah, for combat Sekiro >>> Wukong. but cutscenes in Wukong are just beatiful, i dont really like combat system in Wukong but you can just ascend with these cutscenes. just good just beatiful, great music also (Sekiro losing in music so hard for me, i dont really like themes in Sekiro)
@fastnezy8984 sekiro is not a game it's not fun and not supposed to be fun. It's a long azz lesson, you as a student pass through the exams and keep learning. It's also the from softs best product. Elden trash is trash Wukong is fun their first game based and has the better story
@@zomberkay U sound bitter after getting whooped in harder games lol!! Sekiro is by far one of my favorite games just because of the difficulty. It's all personal preference when it comes to games so I can understand why you don't like Sekiro, but calling it not a game is so far from the truth... If you're not a gamer just say that son!!!
@@fastnezy8984 you assumed I got whooped. And my point still stands. I want you to survive bg1 and 2 , fallout 1 and 2 and elder scrolls daggerfall. List goes on with might and magic series and all. If you can beat those hit me up again. I like japanese developers but I don't like their attitude in making games. I never said sekiro is bad or trash. I said it's their best product and only bloodborne may come second. But the game itself is a classroom. It teaches you a lot of stuff like parrying counters grappling hook. And if you don't listen and try to learn You get smacked. Its a big ol classroom with big ol long azz lesson.
If I’m not mistaken if you read the entry on the diary for erlang the sacred divinity it tells a story about two celestial soldiers finding a flower placed near wukongs stone (where he died) and hints at the fact that it was placed by erlang who then kills the two soldiers upon discovering it.
True, but it makes sense since this is essentially a story writing sequel to journey to the west. You get to see some of the characters in the folklore without retelling the same story that's been retold over and over and over again.
from what i understood in the good ending you never put the headband back in the first place, and as we saw in the bad ending wukong is still trapped, you just gained his memories, you turn into the new wukong while the original is still in the stone
@@ivomiguel1537 ok if the memory is back mean he is now the old wukong that was all part of his plan first the destined one is wukong he doesn't have the memory after he get back his power and memory he remembers the his past life and the reason for his death
@@visual_4ids396to be fair the sequence does vaguely resemble that scene. Although the description of this comment is a bit misleading since there was actually no tree involved.
My fav thing about this game is how it slaps in the face the open world players. Oh you want to go around trees? Invisible wall! Go to where you are supposed to go weirdo, story is more important
What’s?. I didn’t get that cinematic cut scene where he takes the gourd. I did get one where he beats me up and throws me on the floor and with his hand tells me to get up. Mofo was like “nah, I ain’t gona finish you just yet, get up, ima play with you a little more”. 🤣🤣🤣
haha that thing with wrinkled face is wild terrifying like looks like my cousin that pushed his skin together on his face as kids looked like one of the cat monster movie people from the 80's 90s or something from Buffy the vampire slayer i've never heard of the concept of kill it will fire as a kid kid though I tried to burn that cousin to death with a can of aerosol spray and a lighter before it was cool n I haven't really talked to or seen my cousin much after that =[ he was a cousin too we had like a bevis and butthead relationship to where he was the bevis that would do anything for my approval or acceptance to tell him that's cool your cool rad.
I did the same, but its fine the game actually gives you more progression, right up until the end of chapter 5 in NG+, so there is still stuff to do/collect and get stronger. I had a blast playing on NG+
how can we get the bad ending ? with the video ? i hat that one with the old wukong in the stone and afterwards i beat erlang for the good ending. befor startet ng+
@@vonbuxks3017but have none of you even played the game except watch it on RUclips🤦🏽🤦🏽 THE wukong we all know and love at the beginning of the game IS GONE his mind the monkey king HE was will never return just some new to take his place with his memories to be a better version of himself THE DESTINED ONE tho the monkey king will forever live eternity again the WUKONG we all want is gone it’s like saying you have a kid but when you die you bless him with all your memories and everything you ever were your kids still not going to be YOU even with everything you ever stood for still exist with in him all his choices are still his not your it’s you anymore he is now the chosen one
So the gods manipulate the events so that Wukong's allies all betray him and get him killed, then lead "the destined one" to gather all of Wukong's gear, power, five senses, etc, creating a loyal version of Wukong. In the bad ending, this plan works out and you let the old monk put the golden headband on you, becoming a puppet. In the good ending, you most importantly meet Erlang Shen(Wukong's friend) and learn about Wukong's counter plan. His golden headband(causes him extreme headaches if the gods recite a curse) prevents his freedom. He first lets Erlang Shen kill him(he is way harder to kill in Journey To The West) to escape from the golden headband so that one day, a destined one with the same motive to be free, will rise and take his place. Erlang Shen also hid Wukong's memory in his third eye just before he died and gave it to you in a side quest so that in the good ending, you truly share the will of Wukong, fusing with his five senses into the old Wukong, now free from the headband's curse.
@DuyNguyen-zg5or thx for telling me but the how the hell could he die isn't he 7 times immortal like he is unkillable and second does the monkey king get revived or something?
@@Mohammad_Altaweel In the story of this game, as Erlang said, no one can kill him unless he wants to die. And he chose to die in freedom instead of living with the headband.
@@lordyoda9382 not just that you need to find the majority of the hidden quests to trigger the fight if a player only b line the game it can only end with the bad one
No I literally fought the stone monkey got my ass kicked by the great sage broken shell and found out that erlang wasn’t the final boss and that I was on the actual last mission. So I went back and did all the side quest before going back. You have to do a lot basically the quest for spell binder, all the secret bosses from chapter 1 3 4 and 5, then collect all the scandas, the last scanda for conscience is in chapter 6 huago where you go to this area where you beat the large rock sitting on the edge, you have to fly though the canyon and there will be this huge ass giant rock boss, biggest boss ive seen in the game, beat him then after that I think it gives you the ability to the great pogada secret area and the baby Buddha will grant you the ability to go to Mt mei a secret area on a painting to confront erlang. I beat erlang, then after beating him, I went back to fight the broken shell and got the good ending, so I had already half way finished the final battle and still was able to go back and obtain the good ending with out losing progress
@@joshwilliams9922I'm on my 3rd new game plus right now, pretty sure once you beat the bosses in the 4 secret areas and finish the treasure hunter quest Buddha will tell you to go back to the Great Pagoda to fight Erlang without having to get the Skandas. I'll double check it on the next playthrough and update though
@@seanydoggo473 ummm yeah the game isn’t even that hard like mfs keep saying it is and have played NG+ just because your too slow and not good enough to beat the first boss in less then 3 hours don’t mean I can run the whole game In less then a week🤦🏽🤦🏽 hell I’ll give this an example WARHAMMER SPACE MARINES 2 hasn’t even been out for a week and I’m already 80% through all trophies BECAUSE THATS A GAME not this lame souls garbage so yeah you don’t know me mf so don’t come at me with your clueless assumptions
@@seanydoggo473 I’m probably not going to be able to new game plus wukong because I’m still trying to finish horizon forbidden west, and I have like 7 plus other games I’m trying to finish, but is the new cycles easier or harder than the first play through?
Dude the people like you and also the ones that compare him to goku are funny asf💀💀 none of them mfs would exist if it wasn’t for the monkey king myth he literally has so much influence on today it’s not even funny
All, the trials, only to grow up into him self and continue and even surpas your last self. This will destroy my pc Well he wasn't invited to feast because he was menace :D BUT thats right, young people should be maybe forgiven young mistakes :D not without punishment tough! :D something like... encourage cheating in exams and stuff, because it teaches things,... but also punish it... because it is "not right" :D
Na verdade não percebemos, na mitologia Wukong é do mal, nos estamos sendo vilão no jogo. e não é só o Ending é um leão isso arremete a o que pra vcs, e outra o Wukong não anda que nem um macaco nem fodendo, e macacos não nascem de um ovo, isso ai quem estuda a mitologia Chinesa, sabe que é o próprio capeta mesmo, rabudo, poucos pelos no rosto, poder de morfismo, tenta estar em todos os lugares com clone de bosta, e pra finalizar escondem o chifre dele que tem...
If they do a sequel which I hope they do. Then we need a CAC system to let us make our own monkey character. But instead of bringing Wukong back this is his son and whose potential is more than his own. So he sends his son and wife to mortal human realm disguised as humans. And now you have to learn from many human martial arts masters and more. I honestly would love to see a game about that the rise of the new gods
@@KIRA_93 Fighting Loong without sitting on your staff makes the games flaws VERY obvious. He is right, its closer to an 8 than a 10. Its beautiful, its got a great story, and it has tons of hidden areas and events. But again, it has its flaws. So much of the game is about changing your build, or building for each boss that it becomes a chore when you literaly cannot even hit some of the bosses without a work around.

right , He's been helping Sun Wukong 。
I am confused, which one is the good and which is the bad basically?
i am chinese who like very much. if you do not mind, i give you more infomation about what a lots of chinese players believe. a related video explains the ending has like 10 miliion thumbs up...
1. Erlang is not a bad guy, he had fought the celestrial court to save his mom using that big axe in before (in anothe myth, or say, novel of chinese erlang god.). he somehow is the same as wukong, not trusted by the celestrial court.
2. when erlang saw the headband reappearing from wukong's head(in the beginning of the game), he immediate know wukong is cheated by the celetrial court and immediately know what wukong was trying to do, so he played along and killed wukong as they at that moment kinda shared the mutual understanding: wukong want to " mortal death for undeath for an unbound mind and will(see what erlang says: one one can.....but at last, i see this is the only way, he had no choice and neither did I.01:03).
3. Erlang's trust to the celestrial court has gone after he see the headband, but he decide to keep his thinking to his own due to his unwillingness to fight the the court directly like he once did. so he decide to keep wukong's memory and will in his third eye in secret and then he hide himself in the wall painting (where we fight the erlang in the good ending). [you can read about it, in the decription of erlang and the child budda in the game memo.: the child budda helps erlang to hide in the painting so the court will not find him. ]
4. The bull's son and the black bear, they all wear different headbands given by the west budda world and the court. the court had said to them that their band were removed just like they said the band was removed from wukong. so, those monsters, they kinda know the cheating and know what to do to help wukong. think about this, when they know it is risky to keep wukong's body parts, why they still keep it? they were great monsters nothing lesser than wukong at all. because they do not trust the celestrial court too, they wanna see whether wukong can be successful in taking off the headband. (that is why the bull says: i am scared all my life, scared by my son and my wife. he is implying the court who is controlling his son and his wife according to the .). the bull is playing alone and secret helping wukong, so to help his kind.

5. so actually, it is erlang and most of the monsters, who are trying to test the destined one to see whether the one is qualitied as a successor of wukong (see what erlang says in 09:23). because they know they will face the same destiny like wukong when wukong is truely gone.
6. the East celestrial court, the West budda world is actually in potical balance, applying the policy of appeasement between monsters. the fighting between the monsters are somehow proxy war (it is in the game memo too, but very hintful). they love to see the monsters, erlang, and the wukong getting weak, and love to see the destined one being put on the headband again too.
7. the whole story of wukong, in the journey to the west, and in this black myth, are all talking about monsters and those are considered lesser, play alone or fight back to to get freedom from a well centralized and very cruel polictical court. and some budda and some god in the celestrial court are helping wukong because they owe wukong a favor, or they own to wukong's real master, or they have conciousness so they help to see whether there could be the possible changes to that centralized court.
8. when erlang fights the destined one in the game, he often says: "no one can kill the monkey, except himself (01:23)". that is very hintful, saying he is not the one who kill wukong if it was not wukong wants it. after erlang loses to the destined one, he then says: "my brothers tested you at my behest, all for this day" (09:23)...." "mortal death for unbound mind and will" , "may you not fail him... i am now at peace..." (he is not angry at all and give back wukong's memory, again proves that erlang was taking his time to fully understand wukong's suicide, and he was helping but not murdering wukong in the first place. )
9. remember if it is not erlang who killed wukong, there will be others who will keep fight wukong soon or later, today or another. and wukong will be hunted and eventually be killed because the headband is so powerful in restraining his immortal power. so, wukong had thought about that, then took erlang to the fight and then to a duel, actually means wukong trusted erlang with wukong's memory, mind and will. (they have very closed realtionship in other related chinese myth and related novels)

did i explain it well? i do not know. but keep in mind, this is not just a novel or a game, it shows the darkside of the monarchy system. it happens in reality. in our history, each time when people wanted to destory the king and his system, no matter in what dynasty, they often ends up like wukong (the uprising leader), erlang(some general with good heart) and monsters(anyobe who helps). they all end up dieing until the power of the whole system gets weaker and gets to be eliminated.
In the bad ending, the new monkey is enslaved, gladly and willingly, again by the headband.
In the good ending, with the memory from Erlang, he realized the meaning of the headband, so he refused, with his head raising up.
It is quite photophysical. People do not know how good something is, until it is lost. And people do not know how evil something is, until they resume it.
YT auto-completed the word philosophical to photophysical. I don't even know there is such a term. LOL
@@jimkuan8493 ding dong
What even is good or bad
Wukong wasn't ever exactly 'good', rather consider him evil. If we know anything he even managed to attain pretentious buddhahood to potentially save his companions.
So would a crazy monkey being free be considered good?
Bajie seems to miss Wukong a lot, huh?
Bajie kept giving excuses to Wukong's mistakes is very wholesome.
This makes the scene where he sits on wukong’s throne and repeating the lines wukong gave to him back in Journey to the West that much sadder. Somebody did a side by side comparison of it with the old TV show episode. 😭
@@TheBullethead1988where can i watch that
Lol cause of half of the journey is just them cleaning up bajie mess. And at the end he did not even learn his lesson he just learn to restrained his desire. There is a reason why bajie do not become a buddha.
First time a boss, steals and drinks your healing potions 😂😂😂😂
Not only the boss have all the player's skill + more, but still be able to Yoink our heal
Wukong basically said : nuh uh, you are not going to heal, i am!!!
The boss doesn't get any HP but u lose a bit of ur gourd
The fact that the final boss is yourself already proves you're the strongest.
I found out you can dodge the immobilization and wukong cant drink your gourd lol
People who don't know anything about Erlang Shen getting surprised that the most merciful and miraculous sage of the red city WASN'T a bad guy😂😂😂
i mean he legit against Celestial, he did the same thing as Wukong but went deeper, then his mom n sis got hostage by them so he gotta work for them now, but deep inside he are not like them
@@Sylvie69069 + the Court killed his mom too
I love the fact that Shen and Wukong's weapons are the same amount of strength, showing just how much of equals they truly were in the story.
The flashback literally recaps Wukong's story backward, if it will be a sequel it should be the journey to the west.
flashback was to show his memories and to honour journey of the west - makes no sense to do journey when it already happened and the mc here went through similar one - next game will prob be new myth
@@deoa4360 brother u have no idea how different the journey to the west is compared to this game lol. those flashbacks are as if you were to take a 2 hr long movie and compact it into a 10 second summary, they could even have 2 sequals, one for his back story and one for his journey to the west
@@BoogieEmman You complaining for no reason. This story happens AFTER JTTW Wukong has already been given Buddha hood this is his revenge story AFTER becoming the fighting buddha. The art work thru out he game tells the story, THE ART WORK AT THE END is chapter 1-100 of JTTW told from the end to the beginning recapping for the new Wukong who at the end goes to be free like Wukong wanted.
@@Divineant21 thank u, 100+ chapters doing other stories etc for them to make a game it will be compacted - shows that Chinese company didn't want to directly "ruin" or "change" the myth soo they created their own story that takes influence from it instead, so in future they can do the same with another myth
@@deoa4360 Facts like that approach is so better than playing thru JTTW. I've seen so many version of JTTW that playing just wouldn't feel right. JTTW is a timeless title and work of art that this game RESPECTED the hell out of. An yes leaving it space to make its own Myth now which is what games about someone should do. Redoing already told stories is dying in the gaming world, hell in media period. Everyone wants something new and this game as to much potential to be tht. I have so much respect and love for Asian culture and lore, same for Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism and Wukong so this game as a American was a dream come true.

In the end, Erlang is the one friend we don't like, but we actually need..
Wht ia the true ending ?
@@gokuson2530 he fought Erlang and won, gained past wukong memories saving him from wearing the headband, basically reincarnated version of wukong without any restriction from buddha (without the headband), he is free now
They say that if you read the story of journey to the west in reverse, it ends in a tragedy, it starts with the completion of journey at the western world, the group then forced to go back, and separate, they attempt a rebellion against the heavens after a punishment forced on wukong by the Buddha in an attempt to seal him, only to return to each where they belonged, defeated, wukong breaks his own cultivation as a punishment, never be allowed to cultivate again, then wukong spends the rest of his mortal life with his monkeys on the mountain, until he eventually dies, becoming a rock
yes, if you read that in reverse, it is exactly like what you said.
Is that not every story? reading in reverse is just the oposite
Let ingore all the lesson and time event
@@BananaPieWithAnxietyyea, unless the ending is infinitely worse. Can u even read this story in reverse?
For those who don’t know, it was confirmed that the whole entire story mode was basically inside of his head inside of Wukong head, I live in china here the translations are a little different but that’s why at the end the good ending it zooms out and we see that Wukong is still inside the rock
But older
bruh im confused 😂 if he still have the golden headband on his head afterward how is it a good ending
Dude that's the bad ending. This entire operation is to remove the headband, and in the ending you were referring to, he failed.
就是无尽轮回? 他找天命人不就是为了解除紧箍咒吗 可以解释解释吗哥们
nice misi
That’s the bad ending and confirmed out of your ass?
Wukong really different.. he got his staff snatched, beat em with it, used his moves against him, froze him, took his heals and drank it. N he still wants to fight this UPGRADED version of himself😭
As somebody who beat Elden Ring and Wukong 3 times...never in my entire life have I ever been so disrespected by a boss 😆
For a moment the game turned into mortal kombat while monke fight the heavenly kings
18:35 Original bgm of JTTW
so ur saying the souless body of the old sun wukong almost beated our A$$ with none of his senses while we got lots of equipments and still almost lost???! thats crazy!!! imagine the old wukong at full power!! unless i aint right about this, someone lmk lol if im wrong or something
it's Wukong's lingering obsession so you can safely say his capabilities are as equal as the old one
@@nguyenkhoa9710so who’s stronger 😭
@@mrchubzdathird5449 gameplay wise we beat that shell without any relics so I think the new monkey is stronger which is the new worthy mind for Sun Wukong. That’s just my assumption though needs confirmation
25:34 the soulless body takes back the relics part way through the fight, and the new monkey still won.
@@vc180191 I don’t think it’s relevant since we are in Wukong spiritual realm. The destined one (us) defeat the broken shell seems a metaphor that the chosen mind prove to be worthy by clearing his lungering obsession
dude just murdered the 4 cardinal directions
Now i feel the theory about wukong and erlang doing something in the back, like their fight actually meaning for something like to find a way to remove the headband. Erlang helping wukong by testing the new wukong like destined one by searching the 6 medal. Erlang spread the medals to all his friends who he believed were suitable test places.
Wukong’s combat skills are impressive, but can he help me dodge my responsibilities like that?"
This cutscene itself is alr so much better than pacific rim uprising
6:16 I thought that fire sword already sliced Wu Kong body. CGI glitch?
Wu Kong's body is made of stone. The sword wielder needs to exert power and magic in an intentional attack move to actually cut through his skin - just for a bit.
During the above moment, the sword might slide against the stone but wouldn't be able to cut into it. But yeah, still a CGI glitch though, they could have made it better.
Just animation glitch.

the grahpics makes me flashbacks playing sekiro
Real question is, Sekiro or Wukong? Combat/gameplay wise, I give to Sekiro as the parries and combat was extremely satisfying & was more difficult. Graphic wise, Wukong's cinematics especially only for this fight was probably the best I've ever seen. I'll have them on equal terms but for different reasons if that makes sense. 10/10
@@fastnezy8984 yeah, for combat Sekiro >>> Wukong. but cutscenes in Wukong are just beatiful, i dont really like combat system in Wukong but you can just ascend with these cutscenes. just good just beatiful, great music also (Sekiro losing in music so hard for me, i dont really like themes in Sekiro)
@fastnezy8984 sekiro is not a game it's not fun and not supposed to be fun.
It's a long azz lesson, you as a student pass through the exams and keep learning.
It's also the from softs best product.

Wukong is fun their first game based and has the better story
@@zomberkay U sound bitter after getting whooped in harder games lol!! Sekiro is by far one of my favorite games just because of the difficulty.

I like japanese developers but I don't like their attitude in making games.

LOL
is it just me or the sound is muted in this part?
@@dapidminiAikiyes it is muted maybe bcs the copyright
If I’m not mistaken if you read the entry on the diary for erlang the sacred divinity it tells a story about two celestial soldiers finding a flower placed near wukongs stone (where he died) and hints at the fact that it was placed by erlang who then kills the two soldiers upon discovering it.
And the only real thing that came into the actual Chinese myth is the little animation we see at the end of the game
True, but it makes sense since this is essentially a story writing sequel to journey to the west. You get to see some of the characters in the folklore without retelling the same story that's been retold over and over and over again.
I guess but the game's a banger you have to admit
So in the good ending wukong regain his memory and plans of freeing head band from head is that correct
from what i understood in the good ending you never put the headband back in the first place, and as we saw in the bad ending wukong is still trapped, you just gained his memories, you turn into the new wukong while the original is still in the stone
@@ivomiguel1537 ok if the memory is back mean he is now the old wukong that was all part of his plan first the destined one is wukong he doesn't have the memory after he get back his power and memory he remembers the his past life and the reason for his death
If he could just jump 108000 li in an instant why bother transforming into a bird
It's only for traveling, not for fighting or chasing. He couldn't catch Erlang in his bird form - flying in zigzag - with a 108000 li jump.
Unless u sure where ur enemies going using teleport against dash is not exactly good options
Real answer: it looks cool
@@haihuynh8337 even so why dont use the cloud 觔斗云. being in a bird form would be far more vulnerable?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think he can jump that much, it's the summersault cloud that can travel 108000 li
I love how we are just hanging out with Oolong and krillen
I love rhat in the first minutes, you are getting mugged by the memory of wukong and drank your stuff.

Why was the bad ending more entertaining than the good one?
I thought that was the true ending ?
bruh this video IS the "good/true" one, the other one where he put on the "crown" was the bad one
the good one is the one with the animation, the bad one is the one with headband

What’s?. I didn’t get that cinematic cut scene where he takes the gourd. I did get one where he beats me up and throws me on the floor and with his hand tells me to get up. Mofo was like “nah, I ain’t gona finish you just yet, get up, ima play with you a little more”. 🤣🤣🤣
Wukong became the new Kratos...
haha that thing with wrinkled face is wild terrifying like looks like my cousin that pushed his skin together on his face as kids looked like one of the cat monster movie people from the 80's 90s or something from Buffy the vampire slayer i've never heard of the concept of kill it will fire as a kid kid though I tried to burn that cousin to death with a can of aerosol spray and a lighter before it was cool n I haven't really talked to or seen my cousin much after that =[ he was a cousin too we had like a bevis and butthead relationship to where he was the bevis that would do anything for my approval or acceptance to tell him that's cool your cool rad.

I'm so confused. Did Wukong come back again when the player gets the good ending? Or is he gone forever in this game?
He cant be gone forever, he’s immortal. One ending shows he reborn with the crown, the second he reborn without the crown.

Got old wukong from erlang third eye after defeating him@@JahmeirMorris
SEASON 2 OF THE GAME IT SHOULD BE RELEASE SOON
WE ARE MONKE
Can someone explain the ending for me?
So the gods manipulate the events so that Wukong's allies all betray him and get him killed, then lead "the destined one" to gather all of Wukong's gear, power, five senses, etc, creating a loyal version of Wukong. In the bad ending, this plan works out and you let the old monk put the golden headband on you, becoming a puppet. In the good ending, you most importantly meet Erlang Shen(Wukong's friend) and learn about Wukong's counter plan. His golden headband(causes him extreme headaches if the gods recite a curse) prevents his freedom. He first lets Erlang Shen kill him(he is way harder to kill in Journey To The West) to escape from the golden headband so that one day, a destined one with the same motive to be free, will rise and take his place. Erlang Shen also hid Wukong's memory in his third eye just before he died and gave it to you in a side quest so that in the good ending, you truly share the will of Wukong, fusing with his five senses into the old Wukong, now free from the headband's curse.
Wait what happened now to the real sun wokung can somewhon explain
He's dead. But he left all of his memories (hidden secrets) to main character.
@DuyNguyen-zg5or thx for telling me but the how the hell could he die isn't he 7 times immortal like he is unkillable and second does the monkey king get revived or something?

No I literally fought the stone monkey got my ass kicked by the great sage broken shell and found out that erlang wasn’t the final boss and that I was on the actual last mission. So I went back and did all the side quest before going back. You have to do a lot basically the quest for spell binder, all the secret bosses from chapter 1 3 4 and 5, then collect all the scandas, the last scanda for conscience is in chapter 6 huago where you go to this area where you beat the large rock sitting on the edge, you have to fly though the canyon and there will be this huge ass giant rock boss, biggest boss ive seen in the game, beat him then after that I think it gives you the ability to the great pogada secret area and the baby Buddha will grant you the ability to go to Mt mei a secret area on a painting to confront erlang. I beat erlang, then after beating him, I went back to fight the broken shell and got the good ending, so I had already half way finished the final battle and still was able to go back and obtain the good ending with out losing progress
