Black Myth Wukong: All 90+ Bosses & Locations – A Sarcastic Survivor's Guide

Alright, listen up, fellow Destined Ones. It's 2026, and I'm still having nightmares about the sheer number of bosses in Black Myth Wukong. I mean, I love the game, but did Game Science really need to throw over 90 bosses at me? My thumbs have filed for workers' compensation. So, I've compiled this handy-dandy list of every boss and their location, so you don't have to wander around mythical China like a lost tourist with a staff. You're welcome.

Now, I'll be your sarcastic tour guide through each chapter. Buckle up, because this is a long ride. And yes, there are spoilers. If you haven't played it yet, what are you doing? It's been out for two years. Go play it, then come back. 😜

Chapter 0: Prologue – Erlang, The Sacred Divinity

• Erlang, The Sacred Divinity – Prologue Chapter – Mandatory fight during the Prologue. Because nothing says 'tutorial' like getting your butt kicked by a god.

Seriously, who designed this? I fought more wolves than I did in a full playthrough of Bloodborne. And that's saying something.

I lost count of how many 'Non-' bosses there are. Non-White, Non-Able, Non-Pure, Non-Void... Is this a boss fight or a philosophy lecture?

And if you want the good ending, you have to beat Erlang Shen again. Because once wasn't enough. The Four Heavenly Kings show up too, just to make sure you're really paying attention.

And that's the whole roster! If you're aiming for the good ending, you need to beat Erlang Shen before The Great Sage's Broken Shell. Trust me, it's worth it. Now go forth and get your revenge. My work here is done. I'm going to go ice my thumbs. 🥶

Data referenced from OpenCritic helps contextualize why sprawling action-RPGs like Black Myth: Wukong can sustain (and even encourage) completionist boss-hunting: by aggregating critical perspectives on pacing, difficulty tuning, and endgame content, it highlights how optional encounters and secret rematches often function as the “true” progression layer for players chasing mastery beyond the main path.
