How to Get the True Ending in Black Myth: Wukong (Step-by-Step)

Getting the true ending in Black Myth: Wukong is what separates a regular run from one that actually feels complete. Most of us finish our first playthrough, get the regular ending, and walk away going “...wait, that’s it?” It feels a little empty, right? But the true ending? It drops that extra cutscene and the full story payoff that ties the whole wild journey together perfectly.

To gain access to the true ending in Black Myth: Wukong without missing anything, I have outlined the specific steps required to do so below. If you're after a fresh copy of the game, visit Lootbar. It is a handy platform worth checking for Steam keys that get you playing right away.

Prerequisites To Unlock True Ending in Black Myth: Wukong

To unlock true Ending in Black Myth: Wukong, you don't have to be fully maxed out or rocking god-tier gear, which is a relief. A decent mid-to-late game setup with Cloudstep, Ring of Fire, and a couple of staff stances leveled up will carry you just fine. I pushed through the main story to Chapter 5 first so fast travel didn't feel like a chore, and I'd suggest you do the same.

Save at every Keeper's Shrine before those optional bosses because they will wreck you if you're not ready. And make sure you've poked around enough to zip between chapters without getting lost — that saved me so much time.

Step-by-Step Guide to the True Ending in Black Myth: Wukong

Here is the exact order I followed, with clear actions for each chapter.

Black Myth: Wukong Chapter 1 – Ancient Guanyin Temple

Ring all three bells to open the hidden temple and face Elder Jinchi.

From the Outside the Forest Shrine, head toward the Guangzhi boss arena and ring the first bell right behind it.
In Bamboo Grove, find the second bell near Guangmou.
The third bell sits next to the Whiteclad Noble boss area—look for the narrow wall opening.

After ringing them, the Ancient Guanyin Temple unlocks. Defeat Elder Jinchi inside.

For good measure, return to the third bell area and interact with the dead fox on the tree to close out a small related side bit.

Black Myth: Wukong Chapter 2 – Kingdom of Sahali

Finish the drunken boar (Yellow-Robed Squire) questline to enter this desert secret zone.

Meet the boar near Rockrest Flat and give him a Sobering Stone (found in Windrest Hamlet or buy one).
Locate him again at Crouching Tiger Temple and hand over a Jade Lotus.
Beat the First Prince of Flowing Sands for the Arhat Gold Piece.
Return to the boar for a boss fight as the Yellow-Robed Squire, then step into the Kingdom of Sahali.

Inside, defeat Tiger Vanguard followed by the big secret boss Fuban. That clears the area.

Black Myth: Wukong Chapter 3 – Treasure Hunter Side Quest

This one is the trickiest because the NPC moves around.

Start at the North Shore of the Bitter Lake Shrine. Turn right along the shoreline and rescue the treasure hunter from enemies. Talk until he leaves.
Next, find him near the Towers of Karma Shrine in the Valley of Ecstasy—he complains about the cold. Use Ring of Fire on him to warm him up.
Fast-travel to Forest of Felicity Shrine, head down the hill and drop into the Melon Field area. Defeat the Green-Capped Martialist boss there.

Finishing this quest unlocks full access to the Great Pagoda later.

Black Myth: Wukong Chapter 4 – Purple Cloud Mountain

Beat Venom Daoist twice to open the mountain.

First fight: Pool of Shattered Jade Shrine—go right through cocoons and smack the Odd Cocoon until he appears.
Second fight: Temple of Yellow Flowers, head through the yellow wall gate opposite the Court of Illumination Shrine, drop down the slope.

After the second win, a mural opens Purple Cloud Mountain.

Inside:

Talk to the snake on the path,
Cross the bridge and smash pots to spawn Scorpionlord,
Chat with Daoist Mi,
Collect Violet Hail from yellow-robed monks and give it to him,
Then defeat Duskveil at the top.

Black Myth: Wukong Chapter 5 – Bishui Cave

Follow the Pale-Axe Stalwart bull quest.

At Ashen Pass I, beat the big axe bull and talk to him.
Push forward to Ashen Pass II, defeat Brown-Iron Cart and Gray-Bronze Cart, then return and speak again.
Take out Crimson-Silver Cart on the main path.
From Fallen Furnace Crater, backtrack past the Cooling Slope Shrine and beat Rusty-Gold Cart.
Talk to Pale-Axe one last time, then enter the large door into Bishui Cave.

Defeat the paired boss Top Takes Bottom / Bottom Takes Top, followed by Bishui Golden-Eyed Beast.

Reaching Mount Mei for the True Ending

Once you've cleared all five things, fast-travel straight to the Great Pagoda Shrine in Chapter 3 (Pagoda Realm – New West). From Snow-Veiled Trail Shrine, cross the wooden bridge, head up the slope, and enter the hall. Go to the top room and talk to that little monk or Buddha statue — cutscene hits, and you're off to Mount Mei.

The path is pretty linear, but the Erlang the Sacred Divinity fight is no joke. Multiple phases with spear combos, spins, lasers, and that axe throw around a quarter health. I stayed mobile, popped Cloudstep for his big red smash, and punished every opening.

After him come the Four Heavenly Kings, then Erlang in lion form. Win and you get the Meet the Match achievement plus the road to the true ending in Black Myth: Wukong.

How to Trigger the True Ending in Black Myth: Wukong

Here's the simplest way I did it without restarting:

Push through Black Myth: Wukong Chapter 6 and beat the final bosses (Stone Monkey and Great Sage’s Broken Shell) to see the regular ending.
Back at the main menu, pick CONTINUE — don't start a new cycle.
Load up, head to the Great Pagoda, run through Mount Mei and beat Erlang if you haven't already.
Go back to Chapter 6 and beat those final bosses one more time. The cutscene changes completely and you finally get the true ending in Black Myth: Wukong. Super satisfying after all that work.

Conclusion:

Following these steps will get you the true ending in Black Myth: Wukong without any random detours or missed stuff. The extra exploration really pays off with a deeper story and that “I actually finished everything” feeling that makes the 60-plus-hour journey worth it.
