Black Myth: Wukong Players Are Having a Lot of Trouble With One Particular Chapter 1 Boss

Black Myth: Wukong is regarded by many players as one of the best games of 2024; however, several of them have had a lot of trouble with one specific boss from Chapter 1: The Whiteclad Noble. With over 1 million concurrent players on Steam for 11 days in a row and an estimated 14.5-16 million copies sold worldwide, Black Myth: Wukong is taking the gaming world by storm. The game was heavily anticipated since it was announced back in 2020, as it showed players an interesting concept that, while far from being ready at the time, already looked quite polished.

The game has been such a hit that there are even rumors of a couple of Black Myth: Wukong DLCs being already in development. And while there's not a definitive release date yet, players now have something to look forward to after they finish the base game, regardless of how long they might have to wait.

Black Myth: Wukong Reaches New Milestone on Steam

Two weeks after its release, Black Myth: Wukong hits a new milestone on Steam, stealing the crown from another popular dark fantasy title.

However, while both devoted and casual players have broken play time records for Black Myth: Wukong and have had a wonderful time doing so, it's not all roses, as many have been struggling with one specific boss from Chapter 1: The Whiteclad Noble. Although this boss is part of the game's earlier stages, it would seem like he's the first real skill check to test players before they venture further into the story. As a result, players from all over the world have turned to forums like Reddit to discuss strategies and share techniques that can help them prevail over this formidable enemy. Reddit user elmojon1 took to the platform's r/BlackMythWukong subreddit to express their frustration regarding this difficult boss fight, garnering several responses from other players who offered them valuable advice.

The Whiteclad Noble Is Putting Players to the Test

Many players have suggested staying close to the Whiteclad Noble, especially during the second phase of the boss' fight. Others have said that the easiest way to prevail is by defeating Guangzhi (an optional boss from Chapter 1) first. Upon defeating Guangzhi, players will receive a few rewards, including the Transformation Spell: Red Tides, which allows Sun Wukong to transform into Guangzhi, gaining an edge in the battle against the Whiteclad Noble.

Black Myth: Wukong is not only the top new release of 2024 on Twitch due to its challenging boss fights, and stunning graphics, but also due to how much there is to explore. This last element, however, has also had some negative effects, as many players have accidentally skipped the fight against Guangzhi altogether, leaving them somewhat defenseless against the Whiteclad Noble.

At the end of the day, there are many different ways to take on the numerous bosses throughout Black Myth: Wukong, including new strategies and mods. And when all else fails, players can always turn to their favorite online forum to look for answers and tips from those who've already overcome the greatest challenges.
