I'm battling an anthropomorphic tiger. He resides, of course, in the Crouching Tiger temple, the steps leading up to it…
The blood drips from his face, a face formed of the most gloriously realistic wet fur texture. He taunts my silly little monkey protagonist - no, not The Tarnished but the Destined One - and battle commences.
Perhaps the most memorable part of the Souls series are its bosses, the true test of your skills and - more importantly - patience. Sensibly, this Black Myth: Wukong demo focuses on a handful of boss encounters to provide a sense of these one on one battles, all selectable on a menu without overworld continuity.The first is the giant and poisonous Elite Centipede Guai, which acted as something of a tutorial.
For melee, the monkey uses a staff in three different stances, like the Nioh series: Smash form, Pillar form, and Thrust form. Pillar feels particularly monkey-esque as the character scurries to perch on top before slamming down a heavy attack or spins around in a tornado flurry. I was especially fond, however, of using Thrust to cheekily poke away at bosses from a distance and whittle down their health.Poking proved effective against the second boss, Elite Macaque Chief.
Whittle its health down fast enough and it triggers a hidden, second phase of this boss. Alas, I was not quick enough. That said, difficulty is well-pitched in Black Myth: Wukong - the encounters were certainly challenging, but victory always felt achievable.
