  Which one was your favorite boss from Chapter 3? Mine was either Yin Tiger, or Kang-Jin :_banditLove:

  Bro my favourite part of playing this game is completing each chapter and immediately watching these videos after. It’s so much fun connecting the dots.

  Another interesting detail, is that in the chapter 3 cinematic, when yellowbrow gives fish to all the people by using a water tornado thing, he also simultaneously destroys all of their boats, which made the villagers almost exclusively rely on him, which feeds back into yellowbrow "rigging" his bet.

  Good Job with the explanations. One minor detail Yin Tiger is not named after Yin-Yang. Yin for Yin Tiger is this word: 寅, Yin for Yin-Yang is this word: 阴. Instead, the Yin for Yin Tiger came from 天干地支, literal translation: Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, 10 Heavenly Stems and 12 Earthly Branches, each of the 12 Earthly Branches corresponds to an animal. The Earthly Branch "Yin" corresponds to tiger, hence Yin Tiger, just as the Earthly Branch "Chen" corresponds to dragon, hence Chen Dragon. Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches are used in combination for astrology as well as labeling and counting years.

  Man, Non-Able is kind of a gigachad in his backstory, bro was so morally righteous that he managed to stump Non-Void and literally the big bad guy himself. Like, they literally could not find a way to refute the guy and could only resort to physical torture.<br><br>Sad that his body wasn&apos;t as strong as his spirit, but imagine if he did make it, he would be quite a funny ally if I do say so myself lol.

  I didn&apos;t even notice Chen Loong threw the pill away! It&apos;s okay, I still love my farming dragon grandpa

  Something to add, the more monks you kill as the Macaque Chief spirit, the harder it gets to break Yellowbrow&apos;s golden form. Hence, being a butcher does have its consequences. And you CAN just dodge through all of them without even hurting a single one.

  Finally someone points out that Chen Loong just fucking throws the pill away when you give it to him :D What a guy. One of my favorite characters in the game for sure.

  The sack with Wukong&apos;s relic gains the ability to brainwash anyone entering it, so Kang-jin star was brainwashed, also she just fainted after the battle

  I think there&apos;s a heavy implication that Yellowbrow has some kind of brainwashing ability, possibly involving The Bag which was enhanced by the Hubris Nose. Combined with his natural persuasiveness, it&apos;s probably why Kang Jin Star ended up in his service, possibly convinced that all deities were actually just as self-serving and were just less honest than Yellowbrow about it. It would also explain why two of the Third Prince&apos;s captains ended up joining him, and also the pre-final battle sequence of the Destined One turning into the Macaque Chief that he just killed, with Yellowbrow trying to convince him to embrace bloodlust and become his new Macaque Chief.<br><br>Personally I&apos;m also unsure if the Third Prince&apos;s captains always looked like those eldritch abominations or if Yellowbrow twisted them into their current forms. I remember the journal entry talking about how Yellowbrow chopped off Kalpa Wave&apos;s head, how his spiked mace caused countless eyes to grow from Lotus Vision&apos;s body, and how he mutiliated and attached countless arms to Void Illusion. Feels like he has something to do with it, especially since I don&apos;t recall any other characters in the game looking as bizarre as them. Their forms feel downright artificial.

  There actually is one more boss in chapter 3 that you didn&apos;t cover which can be missed easily (and doesn&apos;t even have an English name). Back in chapter 2, right before the fight with the King and 2nd prince, there are two two-headed rat generals who are looking for a traitor. In that same area, there are a couple of abandoned houses, inside of which a third two-headed rat general is hiding. if you talk to them enough, they mention the ills of their kingdom and that their kingdom&apos;s only hope is to find the 3rd prince and bring him back.<br>Now, if you talk to the rat general before finishing chapter two, their body will be found in the same cage as the third prince, and you can collect their sword and its transformation spell right then and there, but if you go through chapter three and liberate the 4 generals before talking to the rat general, instead you will find them lamenting the loss of their homeland&apos;s prosperity, and the presumed death of the 3rd prince, and they will fight the destined one (for some reason) and only after defeating them will they drive their weapon through themselves dying and letting the destined one collect their weapon and transformation spell.<br><br>In the most recent update for the game (at the time of this comment) they only have their Chinese name which just translates as &apos;Rat General&apos;, but they are still a boss if you ask me since they do have a boss health bar.<br><br>Also, one cool little detail about the 3rd prince is that he mentioned having removed his eye(s?) to avoid the beguiling chant that the Mani wheel periodically releases, and when you look at his feet when the chanting begins, there is a singular glowing red orb on the ground in front of him, and notably no glow coming from where his eyes would be on his face.

  One additional titbit: Chen Loong and Xu Dog have known each other for a while, and they&apos;re familiar with each other&apos;s personality and mannerisms. Xu Dog knows the old Loong is fine and just hankers for a pill (specifically the Soul Remigration Pill), which is why Xu just gives Chen a much less powerful pill that simply strengthens bones, hence Chen Loong just hucks it away. Also, this pill acts as a sort of message/signal, basically Chen Loong telling Xu that the destined one passed the test and they can all relocate to the RuYi Scroll
