Black Myth: Wukong All Side Quests

This guide shows all Side Quests in Black Myth: Wukong. The quests aren’t marked in any way in-game. Unless you stumble across them you wouldn’t know they exist. They are all required for trophies & achievements because they lead to secret bosses. Those bosses in turn are needed to obtain 100% Journal Completion, and they drop various pieces of equipment that’s also trophy-related.

Most of the side quests require interacting with an NPC. They don’t give you objectives with waypoints, instead you have to infer from the dialogue what the quest giver wants.

You can fast travel between chapters at any time from Keeper’s Shrines. There’s still free-roam after the story. After the endboss you are put back in the Title Screen, here choose to Continue, it will spawn you before the final boss. You can still revisit all places from this point. Just don’t “Enter a New Cycle” in the Title Screen as this starts New Game+ and overwrites your save with no way back.
