Black Myth: Wukong Golden Cudgel — Reawakening Sun Wukong’s Power
Black Myth: Wukong Edition Golden Cudgel Ruyi Jingu Bang — Reawakening the Mythical Power of Sun Wukong
As one of the most anticipated action role-playing games in recent years, Black Myth: Wukong has captured global attention with its top-tier graphics and rich Eastern mythological backdrop. Among its many iconic elements, the legendary weapon — the Ruyi Jingu Bang — has once again taken center stage. Now, with the release of the Black Myth: Wukong Edition Golden Cudgel, players can finally own this symbolic weapon of the Monkey King that represents divine strength and legendary honor.
Sun Wukong and the Myth of the Ruyi Jingu Bang
Within ancient Chinese mythology, Sun Wukong is undoubtedly one of the most iconic heroes. Born from a stone, he trained under the great sage Patriarch Subodhi, mastering the 72 transformations, cloud somersaults, fiery eyes, and other supernatural powers. Wielding the all-powerful Ruyi Jingu Bang, he rampaged across the three realms and ultimately attained the title of Fighting Buddha (Dou Zhan Sheng Fo).
The Ruyi Jingu Bang, also referred to as the Monkey King Bo Staff, was originally the 'Pillar of the Sea' — a stabilizing iron rod housed in the Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea. Capable of changing size at will, it could shrink to the size of a sewing needle to be hidden behind Wukong’s ear, or expand to tower between heaven and earth. It weighs 13,500 jin (~8 tons), yet Sun Wukong could swing it with ease — showcasing his godlike strength and resilience. In the Monkey King Story, this magical staff is not only a divine weapon but also a symbol of identity and immense power.
The Ruyi Jingu Bang can be seen as an early representation of an 'intelligent weapon' in Chinese mythology. Its ability to transform at will signifies mastery over self and rebellion against fate. Whether wreaking havoc in heaven or protecting Tang Sanzang on the pilgrimage to the West, the staff never left Wukong’s side — becoming his ultimate shield in the fight against demons and injustice.
The staff’s visual design varies across different adaptations — from golden dragon engravings and glowing red patterns to modern, industrial-style interpretations. In Black Myth: Wukong, the staff receives a stunning modern makeover while preserving its mythological roots. It’s a fan-favorite and one of the most anticipated weapons in the game.
Ultimately, the Ruyi Jingu Bang is more than a weapon — it is the embodiment of loyalty, courage, defiance, and fearlessness. Through it, the spirit of Sun Wukong — the rebellious hero challenging the heavens — continues to captivate audiences and influence Chinese cultural identity.
What Was Ruyi Jingu Bang Used For?
In traditional Chinese mythology and literature, the Ruyi Jingu Bang is Sun Wukong’s most powerful artifact. Originally known as the Pillar of the Sea, it weighed 13,500 jin and could transform and resize at will, symbolizing Sun Wukong’s immense magic and indomitable spirit.
Its primary uses include:
-
✅ Battle Weapon: Used by Sun Wukong to defeat heavenly armies during the Havoc in Heaven and slay demons on the journey to the West. It is the most destructive weapon in the Monkey King Story.
-
✅ Magical Symbol: Its size-changing ability demonstrates Wukong’s mastery of transformation magic and celestial power.
-
✅ Portable Artifact: The staff could shrink into a needle-sized object and be stored behind his ear — a classic example of the spiritual tools found in ancient Chinese fantasy.
-
✅ Cultural Totem: The staff symbolizes rebellion against authority and the protection of justice, becoming a universal symbol of freedom and struggle in Chinese mythology.
-
✅ Game & Film Adaptation: In works like Black Myth: Wukong, the staff is reimagined with shockwaves, combos, and morphing abilities, making it a beloved and dynamic weapon choice in modern storytelling.
In short, the Ruyi Jingu Bang is not just a tool of war — it is a vessel of divine strength and a cornerstone of mythological identity. Whether in classical texts or contemporary games, it remains one of the most iconic Chinese mythological weapons.

Who Can Beat Sun Wukong?
In the original Journey to the West, who was able to defeat Sun Wukong?

-
The Supreme Lord Laozi (Taishang Laojun): Although they never fought directly, Laozi imprisoned Wukong in a furnace for 49 days, giving him the Fiery Eyes. This indicates Laozi’s high magical capabilities.

Can Wukong Beat Buddha?
This question — 'Can Wukong Beat Buddha?' — is a fan-favorite debate.
