Players are getting “bodied” by one of the first mini-bosses in Black Myth Wukong but refuse to back down. Black Myth Wukong has already taken the video game world by storm despite only releasing on August 20, 2024. Within 24 hours of its release, the game rocketed up the Steam’s charts and even broke player count records .

Part of what has made Black Myth Wukong an instant hit is its immersive gameplay and difficulty; the title is already drawing major comparisons to FromSoftware’s Elden Ring and Dark Souls. While the challenge may be enjoyable for some gamers, others are already struggling to battle their way through the game, with one early boss particularly drawing out frustration from players. Just outside the Forest of the Wolves, a location players will encounter in the early hours of the run-through, a mini-boss battle will be available.

The enemy in question is known within the game as the Wandering Wight, a small creature that is identifiable thanks to its large head. The Wandering Wight is a particularly tough optional boss early on. I've died to this thing at least 10 times.

You can bypass him, of course, but advanced players will want to challenge themselves here. #BlackMythWukong #wukong pic.twitter.
