How To Reach The Secret Boss In Black Myth: Wukong

The secret boss, Red Loong, can be found during chapter one in Black Wind Mountain, specifically in the Forest of Wolves. Before heading to the secret area, players require a special item called Loong Scales that’s located in chapter two or the Yellow Wind Ridge. Advance in the second chapter until you reach the Sandgate Village. Fight the King of Flowing Sand and His Second Son and unlock the Valley of Despair Keeper’s Shrine.

Move to the left from the Shrine until you reach a cliff where players can throw the Pungent Flesh Chunk to summon the First Rat Prince.

Fight the boss and try to lure him into destroying the patterned wall at one end of the arena. Once the First Rat Prince is dead, go through the crack in the wall and open a chest to find Loong Scales, the item required to reveal the secret area.

Players can make the crack themselves by using a strong attack like summoning the Wandering Wight Spirit if they can't make the boss smash it.

Where To Find Red Loong In Black Myth: Wukong

Red Loong is hiding behind a waterfall in the Forest of Wolves. Interact with any Keeper’s Shrine and travel to the Outside the Forest Shrine in chapter one. From there, stick to the left side and keep going until a waterfall appears that’s surrounded by statues. Players will hear a voice when they are near.

There will be an interaction point, approach it to use the Loong Scales, thus splitting open the waterfall to reveal a secret entrance. Go inside to fight the Red Loong boss.

The fight is not difficult compared to other bosses. Just avoid its electricity attack and keep hitting it with combos until it’s vulnerable on the ground.

Once the three bulbs on the back are exposed, attack them until one explodes, which will deal massive damage. Repeat the same steps until all bulbs are destroyed.

After beating Red Loong, players are rewarded with great loot, including the Loongwreathe Staff and the Boshan Censer Curio, as well as other valuable items.
