There are more than 15 bosses in Black Myth: Wukong's Flaming Mountains, the location at the center of Chapter 5. While it is not mandatory that players fight all these bosses, fans who want to complete the in-game Journal must do so. For those players who are interested in securing Journal entries, this guide will assist with that endeavor by detailing the location of every boss in Black Myth: Wukong's fifth chapter.

The majority of the bosses in Chapter 5 appear along the critical path, and Black Myth: Wukong players are guaranteed to encounter them as they work to complete the level. The exceptions are the Flint Chief, Nine-Capped Lingzhi Guai, Flint Vanguard, Mother of Flamlings, Rusty-Gold Cart, Baw-Lang-lang, Top Takes Bottom & Bottom Takes Top, and Bishui Golden-Eyed Beast.

Nine-Capped Lingzhi Guai

While there is no Journal entry for this enemy, it has a boss-style heatlh bar and is thus included in this guide. To find the Nine-Capped Lingzhi Guai, players should make their way to the Ashen Pass III Keeper's Shrine, enter the area to the right of the checkpoint, and gather the mushrooms that are found there.

Flint Vanguard (Chief)

Once players reach the Fallen Furnace Crater Keeper's Shrine, they should backtrack down the slope, keeping their eyes on the left side of the path. Indeed, the metal ball that action RPG fans have been avoiding cleared a path on that side, and it leads to an arena with some large glowing stones. Attacking those objects will initiate a fight with the Flint Vanguard.

Mother of Flamlings (Chief)

After beating the Flint Vanguard, players should exit its arena via the back-right corner and follow the path to enter yet another open area. There is a glowing spot on the ground in this second arena, and fans of games with RPG elements should deliver four Flame Ore to it to summon the Mother of Flamlings.

Players can earn Flame Ore by dispatching the Lesser Yaoguai in the Mother of Flamlings' arena.

Rusty-Gold Cart (Chief)

This Yaoguai Chief is just past the Cooling Slope Keeper's Shrine, which is accessed by exiting the Mother of Flamlings' arena via the back-right corner and following the path. Before visiting the Rusty-Gold Cart, players should follow this guide to completing the Five Element Carts quest in Black Myth: Wukong.

Baw-Lang-lang (Chief)

After completing the Five Element Carts quest, and opening the ice wall in Rusty-Gold Cart's arena, players should return to the Cooling Slope Keeper's Shrine. Fans should then pass through the opening where the ice wall stood, descend the ramp, and enter the water on the left to find Baw-Lang-lang.

Red Boy & Yakasha King (King)

These are the final bosses in Chapter 5, and players will find them in the arena beyond the Fallen Furnace Crater Keeper's Shrine.
