Black Myth: Wukong version 1.0.13.16669 added the post-completion Challenge feature, with two ways to revisit bosses: one-on-one duels in Return of Rivals and consecutive fights in Gauntlet of Legends. The update also introduced new gauntlet rewards and the four-piece Armor Set of Opulence. Challenge unlocks after you complete the game once and is available at any Keeper’s Shrine.

What is the Black Myth: Wukong boss rush update?

Version 1.0.13.16669 introduced Challenge alongside the Journeyer’s Chart, the Armor Set of Opulence, new soundtrack-library functions, bug fixes, and performance changes. Game Science posted the Steam announcement on December 13, 2024; its stated update time was December 14, 2024 at 10:00 UTC+8. Read the official version 1.0.13.16669 patch announcement.

The Challenge feature has two modes, and each revisits opponents from the main game. Their fight structures and difficulty controls differ:

Mode Fight structure Difficulty control Eligibility restriction
Return of Rivals Duel a former opponent. Choose one of three difficulty levels. The rematch is unavailable while the opponent remains undefeated in the main game.
Gauntlet of Legends Fight multiple opponents in succession. Use customized curses to tailor the difficulty. A gauntlet is unavailable while its associated opponent remains undefeated in the main game.

How do you unlock and access Challenge?

  1. Complete the game at least once. Challenge is a post-completion feature.
  2. Visit any Keeper’s Shrine.
  3. Choose “Challenge” to access Return of Rivals or Gauntlet of Legends.

Defeating an opponent in the main game matters: the corresponding rematch or gauntlet will not be available if that opponent is still undefeated. Gauntlet fights may also include new moves from familiar opponents, so a previous victory may not prepare you for every attack.
