How to Unlock All Endings

Discover how to unlock both the regular and secret true endings in Black Myth: Wukong. Follow our step-by-step guide to complete secret areas, quests, and boss challenges.

Alright, so you want to see everything Black Myth: Wukong has to offer, huh? That means diving into both the regular ending and the super-secret true ending. It's definitely doable, but the true ending takes some extra legwork, especially with some tough boss fights. Most of the steps can be done in any order, but try to get them done before you hit the point of no return late in Chapter 6.

First things first: Get the Regular Ending

Before you even think about the secret stuff, you should play through the game and get the regular ending. It's a good way to experience the story without spoilers and to make sure you don't accidentally jump into New Game+ before you're ready. Just progress through the six chapters, beat the final boss (The Great Sage’s Broken Shell), and once you're back at the title screen, select Continue the Journey.

Now, for the Secret Ending Steps:

1. Complete Secret Areas in Chapters 1, 2, 4, and 5

You might have noticed that Chapter 3 is a bit of an outlier when it comes to secret areas. That's because you actually unlock it *after* you've found and completed the secret areas in Chapters 1, 2, 4, and 5. These are key to unlocking the murals in the back of The Great Pagoda Shrine. You'll find links to guides for each of these specific secret areas within the main game's chapters.

2. Tackle the Treasure Hunter Quest and Chapter 3 Secret Area (Mount Wei)

Next up, you'll need to finish the Treasure Hunter Quest. If you're a completionist, you've probably already done this, but if not, make sure you track it down. Once that's sorted, head back to The Great Pagoda Shrine. You know, the place to the right of the Snow-Veiled Trail Shrine? Every time you finish a main chapter, a new mural pops up on the back wall there. Once all the main chapter murals are filled, the Treasure Hunter will reappear. Chat with him, and he'll send you straight to the Chapter 3 Secret Area: Mount Wei.

3. Conquer Erlang Shen and the Four Heavenly Kings

Mount Wei is where things get serious. You're going to face some of the game's hardest bosses, and they come at you back-to-back. First, you'll fight Erlang, the Sacred Divinity. Then, it's on to The Four Heavenly Kings. Finally, you'll have a brutal rematch against a transformed Erlang Shen. Once you've survived all that, you've basically done everything required for the secret ending. Just beat the final regular boss one more time, and you'll witness the true ending!

The Regular Ending: Quick and Simple

Honestly, the regular ending is pretty much what you'd expect. Just play through the game's six chapters, beat the final boss, and you're done. You don't need to worry about any side content for this one. That's why we suggest going for this ending first – it's a nice, straightforward way to finish the game before you dive into the more complex requirements for the secret ending.
