Inspired by the 16th century novel Journey to the West, Black Myth: Wukong really took the gaming world by storm in 2024 thanks to its extremely engaging and interesting storyline.
The most prominent character in Black Myth: Wukong is Yang Jian – Er Lang Shen, also known by the nickname “Brother Liem” that Vietnamese gamers gave him after completing the game's content. And it turns out, Yang Jian still has countless mysteries in the game that we have never discovered.
Basically, Yang Jian is one of the hidden bosses of Black Myth: Wukong and is a necessary character that gamers must defeat to get the true ending.
After encountering him in the opening of the game, gamers will need to finish Yang Jian once more. Erlang Shen himself is also famous for his diverse and difficult-to-understand moves and is also one of the levels that consumes a lot of gamers' time. However, many die-hard fans of Black Myth: Wukong were surprised to realize that Yang Jian's moves are related to the real-life legend of this character.
According to Chinese legend, Yang Jian has the ability to transform into 73 different forms, making him virtually unstoppable. And in Black Myth: Wukong, this hidden boss also has 73 different attacks, each corresponding to one of the transformations mentioned earlier. Yang Jian even has his own lines for each of these changes. This discovery has been verified by many people and received admiration from the Black Myth: Wukong community as it is clear that the effort put into finding Yang Jian's secret is enormous. In addition, it is also a compliment to the sophistication of Game Science.
According to legend, Yang Jian had to endure harsh treatment from Heaven and had to cut down mountains to save his mother, so perhaps this character sympathizes with the situation that Sun Wukong had to endure. After defeating Yang Jian, we will realize that this character is not as “evil” as we thought at the beginning of the game. Instead, the battle with Wukong was arranged, and Yang Jian also contributed to helping Sun Wukong break the golden circle that had been restraining him for so long.
