The wife of a Black Myth: Wukong player recently defeated Yin Tiger, a powerful optional boss, surprising her partner with her skills. Inspired by the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, Black Myth: Wukong is one of the most popular games released in 2024, widely praised for its world, combat, and incredibly daunting boss fights.

Following its release in August 2024, Black Myth: Wukong sold over 10 million copies in its first three days. This number shocked the gaming world, as Black Myth: Wukong was the first premium title developed by the Chinese studio Game Science, with the company previously working exclusively on mobile games.

Captain Kalpa-Wave is a boss in the third chapter of Black Myth: Wukong. Here is how players can find it and defeat it to advance the story.

While the bosses in Black Myth: Wukong typically signal a tough time for players, one gamer recently shared an unusual story regarding one of the title’s most powerful opponents. According to the Reddit user, his wife was watching him play one day, prompting him to ask her to try the game, as she was a large fan of Journey to the West. The gamer’s wife then fought Yin Tiger, considered one of the hardest bosses found in Black Myth: Wukong. Unsurprisingly, she was completely destroyed on her first attempt, but to her husband's surprise, she managed to defeat the boss after just a few attempts. As she had little experience with games like Black Myth: Wukong, the internet was quick to applaud her incredible win.

Black Myth: Wukong Player's Wife Beats Yin Tiger

In the comments of the player's post, most fans of the game were amused by the situation, trying to guess how the boss was defeated. Some proposed that, if she was watching her husband play, she may have learned what to do by seeing his previous mistakes. Others guessed that not caring so much was the secret to victory, as getting too stressed while playing can make difficult fights harder. It’s also relevant that Tiger Yin is an optional boss in Black Myth: Wukong, and if a player is overleveled, it can be much easier to defeat this savage opponent.

Gamers who loved Black Myth: Wukong may have some good news on the horizon. A new rumor indicates that Black Myth: Wukong may get two DLCs in the future, as well as a sequel. The information comes from a leaker, so it should be taken with a grain of salt, but it could mean more fun for those eager for more of this massively popular title.
