I was originally motivated to post this due to the missable content beginning in Chapter 3, but I decided to throw up some of my Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 saves while I was at it, just in case someone needs them. Chapter 3 has one missable boss fight and a missable item. I had to go back hours to get them because I am a bit obsessive about collecting everything I reasonably can in a single playthrough.

The files available are organized into folders by chapter; each chapter contains a folder of bosses and a save file that will load you straight into the ending video of the chapter, where you receive rewards and then decide to begin the next section of the story. I have included many boss saves for the purposes of letting people easily replay bosses, but I have not ensured that all boss saves have 100% of unlockable content up to the point of any given boss save, because it's too many saves for me to want to manually edit them all, so please use the "Ending" save folders if you want to ensure that you have all unlockable content when you enter any chapter or begin a New Game Plus run. Saves for immediately before and after beginning New Game Plus are also available (they are respectively titled "Reincarnation" and "Reborn").

The save files can be found here on the Nexus: https://www.nexusmods.com/blackmythwukong/mods/139?tab=files

Enjoy monkeying around. Sorry to those of you who cannot resist replaying a bunch of content obsessively like I did.

Note: While these saves have their journals on track for completion and I've discovered every secret I could via legitimate gameplay, I have not acquired 100% of the game's secrets naturally. I missed the Second Rat Prince as a summon from Chapter 2 because I didn't attack his father first (which seems like lame game design to me, but, oh well), and I missed the Auspicious Lantern because I didn't find all the lantern minions before I found their boss, so I have edited both of these back into my files. If you use the Ending save file for any chapter available in this upload, you will have 100% of the unlockable secrets and journal entries available up to that point in the game, including all missable content, as far as I know.

Also, be aware that these save files are for the deluxe version of the game. I have not tested it, but I have been told that deluxe save files do not work completely correctly with the standard version of the game. Use at your own risk, and of course always back-up your original files before doing file replacements of this sort, just in case you want to revert for any reason!

Whichever save you choose, you will be looking for a folder in the provided zip file. That folder needs to be placed in a numbered folder that will be found in the following location (you can find BlackMythWukong below by right-clicking the game in your Steam library, selecting Manage, and then selecting Browse Local Files):


The number is a user ID that Steam uses for saving your content locally, among other things. If you have multiple Steam users on your PC, you may have to use trial and error to figure out which one is you.

For example's sake, imagine your number were 12345678901234567, which is approximately the real length of the number you'll see used on these folders. Then you would unzip the linked folder and move the desired save data from there to following location:


Note that you can delete or move the corresponding backup saves folder (Saved\SaveGamesBackup), and Steam will recreate it.

Don't want to use my saves? Simply move one of the aforementioned back-up saves into the main SaveGames folder exactly as described above.
