You'll find yourself battling many Yaoguai Chief bosses during Black Myth: Wukong, and while they're not as powerful as the main Yaoguai King story bosses, they still pack a punch. They remain some of the most challenging encounters you'll find in Black Myth: Wukong, but the rewards you'll earn from defeating them and hunting them down are well worth the effort, as you'll not only be able to summon many of them as Spirits, but they also drop important crafting items for upgrading your weapons and armour.

Many of Black Myth: Wukong's Yaoguai Chiefs are very well-hidden, though, so for this reason, you'll find our list of all Black Myth: Wukong Yaoguai Chiefs and their locations down below.
