How to complete the Treasure Hunter quest in Black Myth: Wukong

The Treasure Hunter quest is one of the more important side quests in Black Myth: Wukong. It’s required if you want to get the secret ending of the game alongside clearing all the secret areas.

With all that said, here’s how you can start it and what you need to do to complete it.

How to start the Treasure Hunter quest in Black Myth: Wukong

The quest will first start once you reach the Bitter Lake area in Chapter 3. Find the North Shore of the Bitter Lake Shrine as the main starting point. Go back from where you found the shrine to end up at a red gate.

Go through this gate and proceed on this trail until you run into another building at a fork in the road. The Treasure Hunter should be sitting right there. After clearing the enemies, you can talk to him. As always, exhaust his dialogue to progress.

Progress onward through the chapter up until you reach the Towers of Karma Shrine in the Valley of Ecstasy. Here, you should already have the Ring of Fire ability at this time. 

You’ll find the Treasure Hunter again, telling you that he’s cold. It’s implied that you need to use the Ring of Fire ability near him to warm him up. In doing so, you’ll get a new cutscene followed by some dialogue.

You have to get to the Melon Field to complete this quest. We have a whole guide on how to get there from this area, which you can check out here.

The closest shrine to get there is the one in the Forest of Felicity. Staying on the initial right path, then hugging the left side of the path from there will eventually take you there.

In the end, you will have to fight a boss to initiate the last cut scene of the quest, but then you’ll also be given the Spell Binder ability.
