Introduction
Welcome to the Black Myth: Wukong Trophy Guide! This game is an Action Hack and Slash similar to God of War. The difficulty settings can’t be adjusted but it’s comparable to God of War on normal difficulty. If you thoroughly explore all areas you’ll have an easier time as you discover more equipment and level up. Attributes can be increased to a limited extent from the skill tree, and also by trading Mind Cores to Xu Dog in Chapter 2 at the Cellar Shrine. The game consists of 6 chapters, which are mostly linear. Each chapter takes place on a different map and lasts around 3-5 hours depending on how thoroughly you explore. There are checkpoints called Keeper’s Shrines, they are used to recover health & mana. You can fast travel between the chapters at any time using the Keeper Shrines. Most of the game consists of boss fights but there are also NPCs with little side quests. After the endboss you are put back into the Title Screen and can choose to continue playing, then it puts you back before the endboss. You can still free-roam to all areas from this point. However, if you go into New Game+ it will overwrite your save and you can’t go back, so clean up everything first before you do this! For Platinum you will need 100% completion. The easiest way to keep track of completion is through the game’s “Journal” menu. Bosses are divided into “Chiefs” for minibosses and “Kings” for main bosses. Most trophies come from bosses or side quests. The best approach is to go for 100% completion, then you’ll get most trophies along the way. Do everything you can during the story to level up. Then clean up any remaining trophies after the story, but before starting New Game+.
Step 1: Finish Story
Focus on finishing the story. The story consists of 6 linear Chapters. There are no difficulty settings, it’s one and the same difficulty for everyone.
Explore all areas thoroughly. If you try to rush the game you will make it harder for yourself, you’d be underleveled and underequipped. If you explore thoroughly it will be much easier. You need 100% completion for Platinum anyway which includes all Bosses, NPC Quests, and Equipment. So do as much side content as you can, it will save you time later.
After the final boss at the end of Chapter 6 you will be put back into the Title Screen. Then you can choose to “Continue Journey” or “Enter a New Cycle”. Choose “Continue Journey“. This puts you back before the final boss and you can keep exploring. All areas of all chapters can be revisited from this point. You can fast travel to previous chapters by using the Keeper’s Shrines (checkpoints where you recharge health). Don’t choose “Enter a New Cycle”, this would start New Game+ and overwrites your existing save, then there’s no way back and you’d have to replay the story!
If you want to do all optional bosses as you go, refer to the Boss Guide. It has strategies for all bosses and also their locations. But you can still clean them up after the story too. If you need any specific upgrades to get stronger, refer to the Collectibles linked in Step 2.
Step 2: 100% Completion Cleanup (Bosses, Equipment, Side Quests)
After the endboss in Chapter 6, choose “Continue Journey” from the Title Screen. You respawn before the endboss and can still go back to all areas/chapters to collect anything you have left. Bosses, NPCs and Side Quests are still accessible.
You need 100% Game Completion for platinum. This includes all Bosses, Equipment, Side Quests. The bosses often drop equipment that you need for other trophies. Many of the hidden bosses have a trophy tied to them. The Side Quests give trophies as well as hidden bosses.

Step 3: New Game+
Some trophies require going into New Game+. This can be started after the story from the Title Screen by choosing “Enter a New Cycle”.
WARNING: Starting New Game+ (“A New Cycle”) will overwrite your existing save file! Make sure you cleaned up any remaining content before doing this, or back up your save to the PS+ Cloud and copy it back after. Once you start New Game+ there’s no way back, you’d have to replay the entire game.
The following trophies require starting New Game+:
Six Senses Secured – for having collected all 6 Relics during the main story. However, the trophy only unlocks when starting New Game+, after the first two cutscenes as soon as you start fighting the tutorial boss.
Master of Magic – unlocks at start of New Game+, after the first two cutscenes as soon as soon as you start fighting the tutorial boss. You may need to have obtained All 10 Spells during the first playthrough for this to unlock (needs further confirmation). So make sure you have all 10 Spells before starting New Game+, refer to Spell Locations.

The Clamor of Frogs
Six frogs, six skills—how intriguing!
(*Unconfirmed – believed to be for killing 6 “Baw” frog bosses found throughout the game)
Baw-Li-Guhh-Lang: Chapter 1 > Bamboo Grove > Snake Trail: when facing this fast travel point, jump over the cliffs on the left to get to the lower area where a river is. Turn left, follow the river to the end to find this boss.

Lang-Li-Guhh-Lang: Chapter 3 > Valley of Ecstasy > Forest of Felicity: From this shrine turn around 180°, then enter the cave to your right. Behind it is this frog boss.
Baw-Li-Guhh-Baw: Chapter 4 > Webbed Hollow > Lower Hollow: From this shrine turn left and enter the tunnel. On the left there’s a crack in the wall, squeeze through it with / to find a meditation spot. To the left of it go through the corridor to find this frog boss.
(One in Chapter 5? Currently missing)
Lang-Baw-Baw: Chapter 6 > Foothills > Verdant Path: After you unlock the spell to fly on a cloud, fly down to the big lake in the lower area. Then fly to the back right corner (the corner closest to the cliff where you started, not the corner at other end of lake). This frog boss will spawn there. Looks like a brown area in corner of the lake. Dismount from the cloud to see the boss.
The Sire and Sons
“For what deed, must the four waters they governed roam free?”
Always Accompanied
How odd to encounter this old man at every corner!
Unlocked by talking to the “Old Man” NPC in every location and upgrading your gourd to the maximum of 10 healing charges. Be sure to exhaust all dialogues with him in every location until he repeats the same line.
Old Man Location 1: Chapter 1 > Bamboo Grove > Snake Trail: From this shrine go up the stairs, he will stand on the right and gives you the Blessed Gourd.
Old Man Location 2: Chapter 2 > Crouching Tiger Temple > Cellar: From this shrine go down the sandy path, then turn right and go to the end of the path to find him. He’s looking at the rocks there. A meditation spot is in the same place. Alternatively, you can get here from Yellow Wind Formation > Windseal Gate: Go through the gate and then take the left path to the end.
Old Man Location 3: Chapter 3 > Pagoda Realm > Warding Temple: From this shrine go up the stairs into the temple courtyard to trigger a boss fight against the Macaque Chief. The Old Man is there and unlocks the Ring of Fire spell for you. This is unmissable from story progression so you can’t miss him here.
Old Man Location 4: Chapter 4 > Temple of the Yellow Flower > Temple Entrance: From this shrine go straight ahead into the temple, then slightly to the right through the gate. In this area you find a meditation spot and lots of enemies. In the back of the area go up the stairs to find the NPC, exhaust all dialogue.
Old Man Location 5 + Supreme Gourd Upgrade: Chapter 5 > Furnace Valley > Rakshasa Palace: From this shrine go upstairs and over the bridge. Then take the left path to reach a room with the Old Man NPC. Exhaust all dialogue with him, then interact with the fire in the middle of the same room to upgrade your gourd to the “Supreme Gourd”. It’s the best gourd in the game, Mythical grade (orange color in inventory), and has 10 healing charges. You must have upgraded your regular Gourd to 9 healing charges at the Shen Monkey (Chapter 1 > Bamboo Forest > Marsh of White Mist). For the required upgrade materials refer to Luojia Fragrant Vine locations.
Urge Unfulfilled
“With my life I’ll repay the title he gave me!”
Unlocked by rescuing the horse NPC from the cart in Chapter 5.
First, you must beat Chapter 5.
After reaching Chapter 6, fast travel back to Chapter 5 > Furnace Valley > Valley Entrance: From this shrine walk down the path, then enter the lava pool on the right. Go to the corner of the lava to find a stuck Element Cart surrounded by a bunch of enemies (the cart won’t attack you). Interact with the cart to pull a string. After pulling out the string you unlock this character entry. You can’t pull the string during Chapter 5. You have to beat Chapter 5 first, then come back here. Doing so will unlock this trophy as well as the “Dark Thunder” spell.
Note: it’s currently unconfirmed if you need to talk to the horse NPC at each of his locations throughout the game or if he spawns at the end even if you missed him earlier. I did talk to him at every spot throughout the game which is 100% confirmed to spawn him in Chapter 5. He can be found in every Chapter from Chapter 1 – 5 but when you start a new chapter he disappears from the previous chapter (could be a missable trophy if it’s required).
Horse NPC Locations:
Chapter 1 > Bamboo Grove > Back Hills: From this shrine go down the stairs and then take the path left to find a cave entrance. Inside you find the horse NPC sitting on the side of the cave. Exhaust all dialogues with him. (A meditation spot is also here in the middle of the cave)
Chapter 2 > Sandgate Village > Village Entrance: From this shrine go forward and then to the right to enter the village area. Keep going forward through the village (past rat archers on the cliffs), then take the road left to get to a meadow where the Earth Wolf boss awaits. This is the opposite side of the gate you saw from Village Entrance shrine. After defeating the Earth Wolf, check the pagoda on the side to find the horse NPC. He’s tied-up there. Exhaust all dialogue.
Chapter 3 > New Thunderclap Temple > Temple Entrance > From this shrine go forward, through a temple building, then up the stairs in front of you. Then go down the stairs on the left side and straight ahead into the next building. Inside this building go up the stairs to reach the upper balcony. From here you can go over a wooden bridge on the side of the balcony, the horse NPC stands at the end of it. Exhaust all dialogue.
Chapter 4 > Webbed Hollow > Middle Hollow / Bonevault: On your way to the next shrine called “Cliff of Oblivion” you will automatically run into the horse NPC again. You can’t miss him here, he’s on the main story path and will talk to you automatically. He pops out of a spider cocoon.
Chapter 5 > Furnace Valley > Valley Entrance: Go down the path and enter the lava lake on the right side, in the corner of the lava lake interact with the Element Cart to pull a string from it. The Horse NPC is stuck inside the cart.

Guardian of Gear
You are fully fitted. Now, swing that staff and fight!
Automatic story-related trophy, cannot be missed. Unlocks in Chapter 6, after obtaining the story weapon “Jingubang”.
In Chapter 6 you have to recollect the 4 armor pieces and the weapon you had during the prologue fight against the tutorial boss. You need to do the following steps in Chapter 4 to advance the story:
Collect the 4 Mythical Armor pieces from the 4 main bosses in the area: Gold Armored Rhino on the right on the upper plateau before lake, Cloudtreading Deer where the red trees are in the right corner past the big lake, Feng-Tail General by landing on the big grasshoper and holding onto his feelers (have high health and burn resistance to keep holding onto him in one go until he dies), Emerald-Armed Mantis in the yellow tree in the left corner at the edge of the big lake, if he doesn’t spawn beat the other 3 bosses first.
After collecting the 4 armor pieces, equip them and go to the cave at the end of the map on the upper plateau (behind the Son of Stones boss sitting on cliff). Inside the cave is a golden statue, it will trigger a cutscene. After the cutscene you automatically get the Mythical Weapon “Jingubang”, which unlocks this trophy. All of this is mandatory to advance the story, the only thing that remains after this is the endboss.
