What is Mount Mei in Black Myth: Wukong?
Mount Mei is a hidden secret area in Chapter 3 of the game, which can only be accessed by completing certain conditions in earlier chapters. The area isn’t a traditional open-world zone, and, instead, it's scripted to function in a specific way.
Once you fulfill the requirements and unlock the secret area, you are teleported to Mount Mei. The main boss of Mount Mei is Erlang, but you will also fight the Four Heavenly Kings. If you are ready to find Mount Mei, but don’t have the game, you can get Black Myth: Wukong from LootBar.

How to progress in Mount Mei
Mount Mei isn’t designed for exploration, and instead, it's a combat-heavy location.
Overview of the structure
The path is basically an ascent towards the mountain top
There isn’t much to explore
The final boss will be at the summit
Boss encounter in Mount Mei
Making the mountain ascent will bring you to Erlang Shen, the main boss of Mount Mei. The boss is substantially challenging to defeat, so don’t go in unprepared.
How to defeat Erlang in Black Myth: Wukong
Erlang, The Sacred Divinity
Erlang, The Sacred Divinity, is tough to defeat because he has both a health and shield bar. You will need to first deplete his shield bar and then take down his health. You can use the Plantain Fan to make quick work of his shield. Erlang then becomes vulnerable, and you can follow up with heavy attacks.
You can also try to attack him using spells, but the boss is good at countering them, so keep that in mind. If you transform, Erlang typically also transforms or removes your transformation. Spellbinder is a good option against Erlang , but make sure you have medicine equipped, as the boss isn’t easy to take down.
The Four Heavenly Kings
The Four Heavenly Kings are easier to defeat, as they share one health bar, and your Stone Monkey form will help you significantly. Use the Primal Punch or Earthshatter Slam and continue attacking. Use Rock Solid to deflect attacks, and once you take down The Four Heavenly Kings, you will have to fight Erlang Shen.
Erlang Shen
This fight will also be done with your Stone Monkey form, and you can fight Erlang Shen using powerful attacks. His sword will turn into a fiery whip mid-fight when his health drops to 70%, and he will also breathe fire on you, but continue fighting. When you defeat him, you will return to The Great Pagoda after a cutscene plays.
Tips to survive Mount Mei
Here are some tips you can use while progressing through Mount Mei.
Dodge: Blocking may not be as optimal as dodging enemy attacks
Combos: Use short combos rather than long chain attacks
Observe: Analyze how enemies fight, rather than trying to overpower them
Stamina: Avoid draining stamina completely so you have the option to dodge attacks if needed
Patience: Wait for enemies to give openings rather than trying to rush attacks
Ranged attacks: Try to avoid melee attacks if possible
Common mistakes players make
Here are some common mistakes players make and how to avoid them.
Rushing into combat: Plan your fights, and don’t rush into combat
Complicating combat: React to the fight, and don’t overcomplicate things
Not analyzing enemies: The best way to retaliate in the game is by seeing how enemies fight

Conslusion
Mount Mei is a more important secret area compared to others, and Erlang isn’t easy to defeat. You must plan your fight against him to ensure you come up with the winning hand. Unlocking Mount Mei isn’t challenging, but it does require substantial effort, especially with the bosses you must fight to clear the other secret areas. If you are ready to find Mount Mei and defeat Erlang, but don’t have the game, you can get the Black Myth: Wukong Steam key from LootBar.
