Chapter 2, in particular, offers an expansive landscape where secrets lie waiting to be discovered, making the experience feel even richer. In this article, we’ll navigate through the various major secrets, rewards, and strategies that you need to know to master Chapter 2 of this compelling game.
Introduction to Yellow Wind Ridge
Once you conquer Chapter 1, your journey in Black Myth Wukong will bring you to Yellow Wind Ridge. This chapter emphasizes exploration and rewards players with various secrets scattered throughout the desert landscape. Every player will find this chapter a treasure trove, filled with unique items and vital boss encounters.
Exploring the Freight Cliff Area
Your adventure begins at the Freight Cliff area, a pivotal region filled with opportunities for discovery. In order to unlock this area fully, you must first defeat two significant bosses: The Second Rat Prince and The King of Flowing Sands. Here’s how to navigate:
- Defeat the mentioned bosses to unlock various pathways.
- After the arena, proceed right and cross the makeshift bridge.
- As you explore, seek out a small canyon where you’ll encounter a talking rock structure known as the Man in Stone. He will guide you to find the Mother of Stone in a nearby cave.
Encountering the Mother of Stone
Once you locate the Mother of Stone in the cave, defeat her to obtain the Stone Essence. Returning to the Man in Stone with this item allows you to free him from his earthen prison. Upon his defeat, you will unlock the Azure Dust, a transformational spell, which, while clunky for some players, is a valuable addition to your arsenal.
Shopping and Upgrades
After freeing the Man in Stone, interact with him to access his shop:
- Sobering Stone – Needed for a later quest.
- Epic Gold Flora Hairpin – Increases the will gained from defeated enemies.
- Iron Pellet – Grants immunity to stagger when using your gourd.
Special Interactions
Around the Freight Cliff area, players can also discover six large Stone Heads. Interacting with each head grants you Buddha’s Eyeball, leading to a secret boss battle:
- Head 1: Located at the entrance before entering the keeper shrine.
- Head 2: Inside a large cave area in the mountains.
- Heads 3-6: Continue around the area with specific coordinates mentioned in initial explorations.
Collecting all six Buddha’s Eyeballs enables you to fight the Stone Vanguard, ultimately leading you to activate a higher-tier boss, Shing, providing you with the Heart of Stone material for crafting.
Multi-Art Quest
Heading toward the Rock Rest Flat, you may encounter an NPC who needs to sober up. Deliver the Sobering Stone and continue the quest through the Crouching Tiger Temple to discover powerful items like the Snout Mask Headpiece and the Tiger Tally Curio.

Secrets of the Crouching Tiger Temple
Once you have finished your engagements, return to the Crouching Tiger Temple to tackle another boss, gather insights, and prepare for the conclusions of Chapter 2.
The Final Bosses
- Tiger Acolyte Boss: Assured combat engagements here will provide you with the Old Rattle Drum for later use.
An exciting set of challenges awaits upon return to the Valley of Despair, offering players a chance to tackle the hidden passageway that leads to further secret battles against Red Long and Black Long, each leaving behind valuable crafting materials.
