The secret area of Chapter 5 in Black Myth: Wukong is quite literally off the beaten path and thereās a lot of build-up just to get there. If youāre confused about how to get there, you need to know this.
How to get to the secret area of Chapter 5 in Black Myth: Wukong
The secret area of Chapter 5 can be accessed if you follow the Pale-Axe Stalwartās quest from the beginning. After you defeat him in that initial invasion, you can talk to him. As always, exhaust his dialogue just to be safe.
Progress through the chapter until you encounter the first two Elemental Carts. Upon defeating the Gray Bronze cart in the narrow canyon area, return to the Camp of Seasons Shrine. Talk to him again and exhaust his dialogue.
Once thatās all done, continue the story like normal until you fight the Keeper of Flaming Mountains. After this boss, progress onward to encounter the Crimson Silver Cart.
The Stalwart should be fighting it. However, this would be a solo fight if you had not spoken to him earlier. Either way, you still have to defeat this boss to progress the journey to the secret area.
Upon defeating this, go back to the nearest Shrine, preferably the Emerald Hall. Depending on whether you fought the Cart with the Stalwart or not, this will help progress the quest. Heāll have his eyes set on one last location that you can access after.
After clearing the Field of Fire area, all the way up to the final boss of the chapter, thereās an alternate path to the right. You can find an additional Shrine called the Cooling Slope. If you keep following the path, youāll find this giant icy wall guarded by the final Elemental Cart.
Upon defeating the Rusty Gold Cart, talk to the Stalwart one more time to initiate the cutscene and any additional dialogue. Finally, you can enter the secret area of Chapter 5.
Luckily, the area canāt be missed if you defeat the final boss of the chapter or miss certain dialogues with the Pale-Axe Stalwart.
