How to get to the secret area of Chapter 3 in Black Myth: Wukong

In Black Myth: Wukong, there is a secret area in every chapter, but Chapter 3, in particular, isn’t so straightforward. Where is it, and how do you get to it? Here’s what you need to know below. 

Where is the secret area of Chapter 3 in Black Myth: Wukong?

When you cross the bridge and get into the big snowy valley at the Snow-Veiled Trail, you may see this giant icy wall you can go into. This place is called The Great Pagoda, which is the key to finding the secret area of Chapter 3. Just get the Shrine for this area and move on.

However, this secret can only be explored once you complete the main story of the game, the secret areas of every other chapter in the game, and the Treasure Hunter quest.

With that said, if you’re only at the third chapter in the game, you have some ways to go before this becomes relevant to you. 

As for the other secret areas of the game, you want to make sure you get to them and beat the main boss of each before progressing to the next chapter. These are the places as follows:

• Chapter 1 – Ancient Guanyin Temple
• Chapter 2 – Kingdom of Sahali
• Chapter 4 – Purple Cloud Mountain
• Chapter 5 – Bishui Cave

What to do in the secret area of Chapter 3?

Make sure that after getting the end credits for the final boss, you select “Continue Journey” instead of “Enter a New Cycle”. Selecting the “New Cycle” is basically New Game Plus, so you can’t go back to your first run. It’ll lock you out of anything you haven’t completed.

Once you go back into your current journey, return to The Great Pagoda. Go up the stairs to the highest point of this area to initiate a new cutscene with the kid Buddha. He’ll open up a new path into a snowy area called Mount Mei.

Upon reaching this area, you’ll only really have the true final boss to fight and defeat. They are a familiar, formidable foe, so be prepared to use your best build because this is not an easy fight.
