A Black Myth: Wukong player recently caused a stir in the community by sharing their experience of returning to the game after a long hiatus.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What surprised him wasn’t the new content or major gameplay changes, but the feeling that the difficulty of a series of matches seemed to have decreased significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n

According to the player’s account, they conquered Black Myth: Wukong<\/a> right when the game launched and reached Chapter 3 before having to pause.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Back then, he faced considerable difficulties against the game’s famous bosses. Many battles required dozens of attempts, and some bosses even took him an entire evening to defeat. “Very few bosses can be beaten on the first try. The White Robed Scholar took an entire evening, the Tiger Vanguard also took an entire evening, and the Yellow Eyebrow was almost impossible to beat without using the Forbidden Spell,” he shared. After a long break from the game, this gamer unexpectedly returned and found the experience completely different. He even likened it to playing a brand new game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his replay, except for a few opponents like the Vanguard Tiger, the Tiger Tiger, or the Lone King, which still took him a long time, most of the remaining bosses were defeated in no more than three attempts. This led gamers to question whether the developers had secretly adjusted the difficulty of Black Myth: Wukong. Notably, some battles that once made him sweat were now resolved relatively quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n

The player currently primarily uses a transformation-based playstyle combined with counter-attacks using a staff, while also leveraging stat advantages to overcome difficult battles. With some bosses, he doesn’t even need to thoroughly study the mechanics to directly overwhelm his opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The battle with Yang Jian was handled quite smoothly, while the Little Yellow Dragon was quickly subdued after the player acquired the Ruyi Staff and turned the tables, taking advantage of their superior strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, the gamer also mentioned that they had previously heard about the “Great Sage’s Remnant Realm” mechanism involving snatching wine bottles, but this situation did not appear when they replayed the game.<\/p>\n\n\n

However, there is no evidence to suggest that the developer has secretly reduced the game’s overall difficulty. The publisher has also never announced a large-scale adjustment in this direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, the simpler explanation is that the gamer themselves has become stronger after accumulating experience over a long period. A thorough understanding of the combat mechanics, character build, and how to deal with each boss can make once daunting challenges much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the real reason, this story has delighted the Black Myth: Wukong community: has the game quietly become too easy, or have we ourselves become too powerful after a break?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
