In an impressive gaming feat, one Black Myth: Wukong player has achieved the maximum level in the game, while completing nearly 100% of its vast and challenging content. For a game as difficult and ambitious as Black Myth: Wukong, reaching such milestones is no small accomplishment.
Since its global launch in August 2024, Black Myth: Wukong has been a massive hit, selling over 20 million units in just a few weeks. Developed by Chinese studio Game Science, the action RPG captured attention worldwide with its stunning trailers and unique blend of fast-paced combat and Chinese mythology, based on the classic Journey to the West tale. Although Game Science had little AAA development experience before this project, Black Myth: Wukong managed to become a global phenomenon, with roughly 70% of sales coming from outside of China.
A Player’s Epic Journey to Max Level
One player, known by the handle Pyr0pigGy1, recently shared their impressive achievement of reaching level 342—the maximum level in Black Myth: Wukong. Accompanied by a series of screenshots, Pyr0pigGy1’s character is shown wearing the Bull King set, with all defensive stats maxed out. According to the player, it took three playthroughs and about 90 hours to hit this milestone.
Interestingly, when they first started playing, Pyr0pigGy1 admitted they didn’t have high expectations, but the captivating story and well-designed gameplay drew them in. Eventually, their passion for the game led them to not only finish the main story but also conquer every optional boss and side challenge available.
The Near 100% Completion
While Pyr0pigGy1 achieved the max level and completed most of the content, they fell short of a perfect 100% completion, with 79 out of 81 Steam achievements unlocked. The elusive final two achievements were blocked by a missable curio in the Pagoda Realm, which requires killing all the lantern heads before facing the boss. This oversight prevented them from earning the “A Curious Collection” achievement, which is necessary to unlock the “Final Fulfillment” achievement, requiring the completion of all other in-game achievements.
Rumored DLC on the Horizon
For those who can’t get enough of Black Myth: Wukong, there are rumors that Game Science is already hard at work on two DLC expansions. A source suggests that one of these DLCs could arrive near the Chinese New Year on January 29, 2025. However, specifics on the DLC’s content and story are still tightly under wraps, and fans should temper their expectations until more concrete details emerge.
Despite the lack of official information, the community remains excited. Given the scale and success of the base game, there’s a strong anticipation that the upcoming DLC will expand on the Black Myth universe with new challenges, regions, and storylines.
Final Thoughts
The journey of Black Myth: Wukong continues to captivate its global player base, with dedicated fans like Pyr0pigGy1 pushing the limits of what’s possible within the game. Their remarkable achievement of reaching max level and near-100% completion showcases not only the game’s depth but also the dedication of its community. As rumors of new DLC circulate, anticipation for the future of Black Myth: Wukong only continues to grow. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the game, there’s never been a better time to dive into this beautifully crafted action RPG.
