Black Myth: Wukong launched earlier this week and quickly became one of the biggest games of the year.
Less than 24 hours after Black Myth: Wukong was released, over 2million people were playing it concurrently on Steam, topping peaks set by Elden Ring, Palworld and Counter-Strike 2. There are a lot of people playing on PS5 as well, so the number of players could be even higher.
The action-adventure game is inspired by the classic Chinese novel Journey To The West and sees players take on the role of The Destined One as they head out into the world to retrieve a series of Lost Relics. Set across six different chapters, players also have to best a number of different enemies and come out on top of several boss fights to achieve their goal.
Defeating Yaoguai King bosses and the Chief mini-bosses can unlock secret areas and new equipment, but since players are free to make their own way through the chain of non-linear areas that make up Black Myth: Wukong, it can be easy to miss some of the enemies. Others will only be unlocked after completing mini quests.
Below, you’ll find a list of every Yaoguai King and Chief boss in Black Myth: Wukong – and where to find them.

In a four-star review, NME wrote: “Black Myth: Wukong delivers on the spectacle and satisfying combat that caught everyone’s eye during its trailers. Discovering secrets and boss fights are the highlights here, but overall level design and some of the upgrade systems feel messy. Despite that, Black Myth: Wukong is still an incredibly fun time.”
