If you’ve been grinding your way through Black Myth: Wukong, then by now, you probably understand that this action RPG pulls no punches. Inspired by the legendary tale of Journey to the West, this game fuses breathtaking mythology, jaw-dropping visuals, and some seriously tough gameplay. By the time you reach Chapter 6, you know you’re in for something big – like, boss-fight, last-stretch, world-on-fire big.
But don’t worry; I’ve got you covered. This guide is designed to walk you through Chapter 6, exploring all the hidden content, the big (and sometimes optional) bosses, and that secret ending you’ve probably heard whispers about. Ready to take your journey with Sun Wukong to the next level? Let’s dive in!
Chapter 6: The Final Frontier
Alright, so when you first step into Chapter 6, you’re probably thinking, “Oh great, another chapter packed with puzzles and collectibles, right?” Well, not exactly. Chapter 6 is more of a stage setter for the grand finale, serving as the prelude to the last epic battles of the game. And the landscape? Wow. It’s massive and designed to make you feel like you’re truly in the final stages of this mythical adventure.
What makes Chapter 6 stand out is that it finally grants players a new, game-changing mechanic: the ability to fly. Yep, you heard me right. No more hoofing it across the map like before. Once you defeat the Supreme Inspector, you get the Somersault Cloud – and not just any cloud, but one that allows you to soar across the map like a mythical boss. Now, you’ve got true flight at your disposal, which not only helps with movement but also unlocks new strategies for combat. Let’s just say that this chapter literally takes things to new heights.
Optional Bosses: A Test of Skill
Even though the map in Chapter 6 is vast and gorgeous, there’s not as much in the way of secrets or side quests. But don’t let that fool you – there’s still plenty of action, especially when it comes to the six optional bosses that are scattered across this chapter. Each one tests your skills, patience, and willpower. Here’s what you’re up against:
- Xiao Long of Waves: This feral water dragon isn’t just there to look pretty. Defeating Xiao Long will score you the Water W orb, which gives you a solid defense boost when you’re in water-based environments. Handy, right?
- Lang Ba Ba: This frog boss is not only the final one of its kind, but also one of the toughest. Take him down, and you’ll be rewarded with the Celestial Birthstone Fragment and materials for the Spirit of Bao Gang cultivation. Trust me, it’s worth the pain.
- Son of Stones: This guy is more rock than flesh, and once you beat him, you’ll collect valuable crafting materials. It’s not the flashiest reward, but if you’re a completionist, you’ll want it for that post-game crafting.
- Poison Chief: Remember the recurring rock bosses from earlier in the game? Well, he’s back, and he’s just as annoying. But once you defeat him (again), you’ll walk away with some handy loot.
- Waterwood Beast: Imagine a hippo, but make it huge, aggressive, and terrifying. That’s the Waterwood Beast. It lives in a large body of water and is tough to defeat, but it’s a necessary challenge for those looking to finish every boss.
- Giant Shing An Dong: The most complex of the optional bosses in Chapter 6, this encounter requires some extra effort. You’ll need items from previous chapters to even activate the fight. It’s a bit of a throwback challenge, and the rewards are worth the extra legwork.
These optional bosses aren’t for the faint of heart. They provide a satisfying (and frustrating) challenge for anyone looking to test their skills before the grand finale.
Hidden Armor: The Fortune Favor Set
Let’s be honest: who doesn’t love some shiny new armor, especially when it’s a secret hidden gem? The Fortune Favor armor set, while not the most powerful gear in the game, offers a cool bonus for those who specialize in great stage talents. It’s tucked away in a thicket of trees on an otherwise unremarkable plateau in Chapter 6.
While it’s not as strong as the main storyline’s Golden Armor, it has a unique charm that makes it worth seeking out for the dedicated explorer.
The Path to the Secret Ending
Alright, now we’re getting to the juicy stuff. What’s cooler than unlocking a secret ending in a game that’s already packed with mythical creatures and epic boss fights? Black Myth: Wukong has you covered, but it’s not going to be easy. To get that elusive secret ending, you’ll need to go back through the earlier chapters and defeat some key bosses and complete specific quests. Here’s the step-by-step guide:
- Defeat Elder Jinchi in Chapter 1: Head back to the Ancient Guan Temple and take down Elder Jinchi. It’s a tough fight, but it sets the wheels in motion for the secret ending.
- Beat Fuan, the Giant Beetle in Chapter 2: In the Kingdom of Sahali, you’ll come across Fuan, the Giant Beetle. Defeating him is another key step toward the secret ending.
- Complete the Treasure Hunter Questline in Chapter 3: You know that treasure hunter quest that seemed like a minor side gig? Yeah, it’s more important than you thought. Complete it in full.
- Best the Dusk Veil in Chapter 4: Over at Purple Cloud Mountain, you’ll face off against the Dusk Veil. It’s a tough encounter, but absolutely essential for the secret ending.
- Conquer the Beway Golden-Eyed Beast in Chapter 5: The Beway Cave houses this final piece of the puzzle. Defeat the Golden-Eyed Beast, and you’re almost there.
Once you’ve completed all of these tasks, return to the Great Pagoda from Chapter 3. There, a new encounter with Buddha will transport you to Mayon Peak, where you’ll face Erlong the Sacred Divinity – a nod to the game’s tutorial boss.
