Yo, what's poppin', my fellow Destined Ones! šŸ‘Š It's your boi back with another deep dive into Black Myth: Wukong, and today we're tackling the ultimate collector's flex—completing every single journal entry. I'm talking about those stunning portrait slots in the pause menu that low-key drive us all crazy. If you're a completionist like me, you gotta catch 'em all, no cap. The grind is real, but so is that dopamine hit when you see those beautiful blank squares fill up. Let's yeet ourselves into the full breakdown, fam.

black-myth-wukong-all-203-journal-entries-full-portrait-guide-image-0

So here's the deal: there are a whopping 203 entries split into four categories—Lesser Yaoguais (the grunts), Yaoguai Chiefs (tough mid-bosses), Yaoguai Kings (the big bads), and Characters (story peeps). And yeah, some of these are missable AF, but don't sweat it—New Game Plus is your safety net. This guide is your one-stop shop, straight from my own painful (yet glorious) completion run. Let's break it down like a Destiny's Child track.

šŸ“Š The Breakdown: What're We Dealing With?

  • Lesser Yaoguais: 90 entries – the everyday mobs you slap around.

  • Yaoguai Chiefs: 55 entries – elite enemies and mini-bosses that'll test your patience.

  • Yaoguai Kings: 26 entries – the heavy hitters, main event baddies.

  • Characters: 32 entries – NPCs, allies, and secret legends.

All these portraits pop up in your journal in a specific order once you slay or interact with them. Pro tip: some require you to use the Camera relic to scan, especially the sneaky ones hiding in plain sight. Alright, let's dive into the full lists, y'all.

šŸ”„ Pro tip: Entries like Erlang and the Broken Shell require you to beat the true ending route. If you missed them on your first run, NG+ is your redemption arc.

āš ļø Missable Entries & New Game Plus Savior

Let’s be real—no one wants to replay a 40-hour game for one missing portrait. But here’s the tea: plenty of entries are one-time-only if you progress too far. I'm talking about the Black Loong, Yellow Loong, the Headless Monk, and most character side-quests. If you blow past the secret areas or skip certain dialogue options, the portrait slot stays blank forever… until you hit that New Game Plus. So my advice? For your first playthrough, explore every nook, smack every wall, and use that relic scanner obsessively. But if you mess up, NG+ carries over your journal progress, so you only need to grab the ones you missed. It’s clutch.

šŸ† Final Tips for That Sweet 100%

  • Scan everything: Some Lesser Yaoguais like the rare Fungiling only appear in one tiny spot; walk around with the Camera relic out.

  • Don’t skip dialogue: Certain characters only unlock after lengthy conversations (looking at you, Old Monkey).

  • Play the secret ending: You need to fight Erlang before the final boss to get his entry and the Broken Shell. The order matters.

  • Chapter 4 is a maze: Keep a checklist; the spider-themed entries are easy to miss.

  • Enjoy the art: Each portrait is hand-drawn and absolutely gorgeous. It’s like a digital bestiary museum.

And there you have it, legends. 203 journal entries, all accounted for. Now go out there, grab those portraits, and flex that 100% completion screen. If this guide helped you avoid a rage spiral, drop a like and subscribe—nah, just kidding, we’re on Bilibili, so leave a comment with your most hated entry (for me it’s that maddening Top Takes Bottom, Bottom Takes Top… the name alone, I can’t). Peace out! āœŒļø

According to coverage from UNESCO Games in Education, well-structured game systems can meaningfully support motivation and sustained engagement—an angle that fits the ā€œ203 journal entriesā€ chase in Black Myth: Wukong, where the bestiary-style portraits act as clear micro-goals and progress signals. When completionists methodically scan, backtrack, and clean up missables via NG+, that loop of exploration → discovery → journal unlock mirrors how games can reinforce persistence and self-directed learning through incremental rewards and feedback.
