Black Myth Wukong: What Do The Cutscenes After Each Chapter Mean? - Cutscenes Explanation

Posted: Sep 11, 2024

In Black Myth Wukong, which is based on the traditional Chinese legend Journey to the West, the developers use amazing scenery and various link designs to immerse players in this beautiful legend. What is really unforgettable is that there will be a beautiful cutscene after each chapter.

In these unique Chinese cultural cutscenes, different stories are told. If you ignored the storyline in these cutscenes during the game, this guide can fully explain it so that you can have a deeper understanding of the overall storyline of the game.

Black Myth Wukong: What Do The Cutscenes After Each Chapter Mean? - Cutscenes Explanation

Chapter 1

In the cutscenes of Chapter 1 Black Cloud, Red Fire, a lot of traditional Chinese hand-painted animation styles are used, which can be associated with some ancient animation fables. You will experience all the stories as the monk Jinchi in the animation. If you don’t deliberately look for a Black Myth Wukong Item called Vessel in this chapter, you are likely to miss this character.

This Jinchi here differs completely from Jinchi you need to defeat in Chapter 1. He looks very young and innocent, not the clumsy monster in Ancient Guanyin Temple who is wearing a golden body, because he is not yet affected by the cassock.

Black Myth Wukong Chapter 1

In this animation, Jinchi and Black Bear gradually get along well, and Jinchi eventually becomes High Monk of Guanyin Temple with its help. But because of his greed for Sanzang’s beautiful gold Kasaya, he makes a plan to kill Sanzang.

But in the end, his plan was unsuccessful. The fire not only burned his accomplices but also burned himself and the entire temple. So when you face the final boss of this chapter, Black Bear Guai, his body will be covered with flames. The whole animation will end with the conversation between Black Bear and Guanyin, leaving room for players to imagine, and will also make players sigh at Jinchi’s experience and his greed.

Chapter 2

Unlike Chapter 1, the cutscene that appears after Chapter 2 ends is not in the scorching desert that players explore, but a snowy scene, and tells a more thematic story. It is closely related to the core meaning of the entire game and the relationship between the heaven and other creatures in the game world.

In this cutscene, the style of stop-motion animation that has been the favorite of self-media bloggers in recent years is used to tell the story of a wandering scholar and a white fox. He initially rescued the white fox from a trap and let it rest in his hut. When the scholar woke up, the white fox had turned into a beautiful woman.

They lived in harmony and fell in love. Later, they had children and grandchildren, and all family members lived harmoniously in a gorgeous house. But one day when the scholar returned home, the house was covered in blood and the bodies of his family were scattered all over the floor. In the end, he found his wife gnawing at the corpse in a room. She had now turned into a half-human, half-demon monster and looked at him with a predator’s eyes.

He wakes up with a startle, only to find that everything was a dream. He then walks out of the hut with a scarf made of fox fur around his neck - he has killed the white fox that might bring him harm.

As the scholar walks away, the animation ends with the narrator’s contemplation. He discusses the natural order between men, beasts, Buddhas, and YaoGuais, and states that all are given a certain level at birth. This question about the established order of heaven directly reflects Wukong’s challenge to heaven in the game tutorial.

Chapter 3

In the cutscene at the end of Chapter 3, all the scenes and characters do not appear in the player’s exploration, which seems to be a brand-new story, but in fact it also emphasizes the natural order.

At the beginning of the animation, a villager from a poor fishing village fishes out a strange-looking turtle-like creature from the sea. Then, after the creature recovers, it repays the villager by cutting off its own flesh and taking out its own medicine to heal other villagers.

The whole town gradually regards the creature as a religious figure, also called a god. But in the end, they had succumbed to their own greed, constantly attacking the creature they once regarded as a god, and taking as much treasure as possible from its wounds.

Black Myth Wukong Chapter 3

When the creature, which had experienced terrible destruction, died on the beach, a mysterious person named Jinchanzi found it. Jinchanzi angrily denounced the greed and ignorance of all the villagers, but the creature said it didn’t matter because it proved that humans were the lowest creatures.

This cutscene has caused great controversy on many social media and in the player community. Many players believe that humans cannot be regarded as the lowest creatures because humans themselves are nobler than all creatures. This guide does not make any comments here, because different people have different ideas.

Chapter 4

The story of the first few cutscenes is a bit obscure, but the cutscene at the end of Chapter 4 is completely different because it shows some events mentioned in this chapter, and the characters also appear in this chapter, especially Violet Spider can provide you with a lot of useful Black Myth Wukong Items.

In addition, this cutscene also fills in the blanks of Zhu Bajie’s background story in the main storyline, because there are many signs in it that Zhu Bajie and Violet Spider have a special relationship. Unlike Zhu Bajie in the main storyline, Zhu Bajie in the cutscene is more like a human heaven marshal.

Black Myth Wukong Chapter 4

During this period, Zhu Bajie fell in love with Chang’e, and there was another girl who secretly admired him, who later became Violet Spider. In the process of Zhu Bajie’s pursuit of Chang’e, he made a mistake and was sent to the human world.

Violet Spider followed him into the human world, where they showed their true colors to each other and fell in love, and eventually they had a child. This child is also mentioned in Chapter 4, which indirectly proves that Violet Spider and Zhu Bajie have a special relationship.

Chapter 5

The final cutscene in Chapter 5 also adds some background to the main character of this chapter, Bull King. The entire animation begins with Wukong dying in Bull King’s arms and uses a flashback method to the time when they first became sworn brothers in Journey to the West.

Then Bull King and Wukong stand on opposite sides of the heaven, suggesting that they are now on different sides. In the end, they reconcile, and Wukong apologizes for not being able to help Bull King and Red Boy overcome difficulties.

Black Myth Wukong Chapter 5

Besides providing additional background information for Red Boy and Bull King, two key characters in Chapter 5, this scene also further portrays Wukong, who has rarely appeared since the tutorial, suggesting his increasing importance.

The above is the meaning of some cutscenes in Black Myth Wukong. Does it help you understand the background story and the mysteries contained in this game? I hope you can have fun playing this game based on traditional Chinese culture!
