All Missables In Black Myth: Wukong

All Chapter 1 Missables In Black Myth: Wukong

"The first chapter of Black Myth: Wukong has only one missable encounter and that's the fight with the boss Wandering Wight. In case the player happened to find a secret area and defeated the Elder Jinchi, they will not be able to fight the Wandering Wight. This shy guy can be found just over the Outside the Forest Keeper's Shrine."

All Chapter 2 Missables In Black Myth: Wukong

Chapter 2, much like the first chapter, contains a single missable encounter. This time, it is with a Spirit. Related: During the fight with the King of the Flowing Sands and the Second Rat Prince, players will want to make sure that they kill the King first. Should the player kill off the Second Rat Prince before the King, then the Spirit will be missed.

All Chapter 3 Missables In Black Myth: Wukong

Once inside the Pagoda Realm, players will be introduced to the many dangers: nine towering enemies with luminescent lanterns for heads. Each of these guardians needs to be defeated so that the player can have an audience with the mysterious Captain Wise-Voice. Defeating this captain proves to be quite costly since the players won't be in a position to get highly desirable Auspicious Lantern, one of those rare Curios.

The Apramāṇa Bat Spirit is another missable collectible. This rare bat hides just over the North Shore of the Bitter Lake Keeper's Shrine. To track it down, stick to the right of the water until you see a giant snake skeleton, and then proceed past it a little way, out of sight of the snake. A cinematic will play as the Apramāṇa bat circles around. Defeating this bat before Yellowbrow will give access to his very helpful Spirit.

All Chapter 4 Missables In Black Myth: Wukong

The first missable in Chapter 4, the Venomous Armguard, is obtained by destroying Venom Daoist's extra arms when he first becomes aggressive. This is easier with a weaker weapon since that allows for lighter strikes.

Failure in breaking each and every one of them, will result in not being able to obtain the Venomous Armguard or its accompanying trophy. You can only correct this by performing a New Game+ cycle.

The other missables occur in Purple Cloud Mountain, a secret place accessible only after defeating Venom Daoist a second time. Defeat him a second time and you will be able to talk to the wall behind Venom Daoist to access the hidden realm.

Daoist Mi Quest

Daoist Mi, near the Petalfall Hamlet Keeper's Shrine, is the person in whom you can learn this transformation. First of all, you will need to have a chat with him, then start the Violet Hail (Spell) quest for searching. You can get such a rare item by killing yellow-robed enemies that hide around the area. When you finally obtain the Violet Hail, go back to Daoist Mi and initiate a conversation. This will be followed by a cutscene that ends in his defeat, a battle against the Daoist himself. The defeat of Daoist Mi will grant you the highly coveted Violet Hail transformation.

Scorpionlord And The Stained Jade Gourd

To encounter him, one would have to go up the stairs leading to the hut near the Bounds of Deity's Abode. Smash the jars below to trigger the fight. Defeating him will of course entails great proficiency and technique. Of course, defeating him will net a player his much-needed Stained Jade Gourd.

Note that you'll want to defeat the Scorpionlord before the Duskveil in order to obtain a certain journal entry and a gourd. Another missable element is the Crane Immortal's journal entry, which requires you to have finished the Purple Talismans quest. Here is a detailed guide on how to do this quest: [link to guide].

All Missables In Chapter 5 Of Black Myth: Wukong

The penultimate missable quest in Black Myth: Wukong is attached to the elusive Horse Guai and requires diligence from the players. Horse Guai will pop up in every chapter but the last, meaning that at any moment a player has the opportunity to speak with him, they should do so, lest he become locked out for the quest. Horse Guai moves around through most of the game:

• Chapter 1 & 2: Inside the cave near the Back Hills Keeper's Shrine.

• Chapter 3: Under a gazebo near the Earth Wolf's arena.

• Chapter 4: In a building next to the Temple Entrance Keeper's Shrine.

• Chapter 5: In a cocoon en route to the Cliff of Oblivion Keeper's Shrine.

Once Chapter 5 is complete, head back to the cart, next to the Valley Entrance Keeper's Shrine to finish up the quest. Note that each of Horse Guai's appearances requires speaking with him in detail to complete the quest.

Old Man's Quest

Here, Black Myth: Wukong incorporates a missable aspect that most would uncover only through diligent exploration and interaction. Actually, this whole hidden content is revealed by having prolonged conversations with the bearded old man available within every chapter of the game. These types of dialogues incorporate detailed information and clues that are crucial for story development and using the potential of the game fully.

If players do not exhaust these conversations during their first playthrough, they'll miss the opportunity to access this missable content-to say nothing of having to start another new game on New Game+ mode just to see it. That's the mechanic that urges players to leave no leaf unturned in the world of the game, to interact with all its characters, and delve deep into the narrative.

This concludes all that can be known about All That Can Be Lost in Black Myth Wukong, and hopefully, that told you everything you wanted to know.
