The level design of “Black Myth: Wukong” is quite complex, with various hidden surprises scattered throughout the map that can easily be missed if you’re not careful. Here, I will create a comprehensive exploration guide for “Black Myth: Wukong,” detailing the hidden NPC side quests, hidden levels, hidden bosses, important collectibles, and more, in conjunction with the main storyline to provide a route planning explanation. I will do my best to guide you through everything, minimizing detours and ensuring a complete narrative experience.
(This article has been streamlined as much as possible, reducing plot descriptions to minimize spoilers. However, it is difficult to avoid some spoilers when mentioning BOSS names and character names. It is recommended that you do not read the following content until you have encountered them in the game.)
Return to the land temple, this time take the dark path on the left.
Before entering, there is a hole under the wooden shelf on the right, where you can collect spiritual essence.
There are three paths after entering.
Turn left and go up to get the fourth 【Buddha Eye Bead】.
There is a treasure chest and a coffin to the right, leading to an area under the sunlight that we have just explored.
After exploring both the left and right sides, return and delve deeper into the cave.
After passing through the cave, you will see the guiding light to the next earth temple. Exit to the right into the sunlight, and that’s the next earth temple. We’ll go there later.
On the left, there are spiritual essences to collect, then take the path on the left to find the stone essence in the cave.
On the way to the Stone Spirit, defeat these stone monsters that emit blue flames to obtain the 【Essence】 Stone Shuangshuang.
The Stone Spirit (Stone Mother) doesn’t move, but be careful, if you hit it, a bunch of stone monsters will come out to interfere with you.
Black Myth: Wukong Boss Battle Strategies – Chapter 2: Stone Mother
After defeating the Stone Mother, you will obtain the 【Essence of Stone】.
After defeating the Stone Mother, don’t rush to leave; go outside to get the fifth 【Buddha’s Eye Pearl】.
Return to the ravine, give the essence of the stone to the person in the stone, and he actually tells you to get lost. Give him a beating and he’ll behave. You will obtain the spell “Azure Dust,” which allows you to transform into a Stone Spirit after equipping it in the Land Temple.
Refresh at the land temple and come back, then you can buy many good things from the Stone Man here.
You can buy 【Brewed Alcohol Item】 Iron Bullets, 【Rare Item】 Golden Flower Jade Petals, and 【Wine Awakening Stone】. It’s recommended to buy the Wine Awakening Stone first as it’s a quest item. Don’t buy the Golden Steady Beast; you’ll find the price drops by half after purchasing, and you’ll feel cheated, haha.
