Are you ready to embark on a journey into the fantastical world of Black Myth: Wukong? In addition to the engaging main storyline, the game also hides countless secrets waiting for brave gamers to discover. One of them is the secret area right in Chapter 1 – Ancient Guanyin Temple. Unlocking this area not only brings a sense of satisfaction from conquering the challenge, but also brings extremely valuable rewards, especially the Fireproof Mantle – a useful equipment for the later journey.
Location of the Three Large Bells
Bell 1: Forest of Wolves
The journey begins at Outside the Forest Shrine, in the Forest of Wolves area. From here, go straight and “clear out” two wolves, or skip them if you want.
At the fork, turn right towards the bridge with a wolf guarding it.
Cross the bridge, go around the right side of the large rock. Behind it is a small path, with fire on both sides. Follow this path to the arena gate of Yaoguai Chief Guangzhi (boss). Warning: You must defeat Guangzhi. He uses a long-handled sword that deals fire damage, and is especially dangerous with his combos. Be patient, dodge, and wait for him to finish his combo to counterattack. Take advantage of parrying if you can. Don’t forget Pills.
After winning, go to the back of the arena, the bell is in a small shrine.
Bell 2: Bamboo Grove
The second bell is located in the Bamboo Grove area. Start from the Snake Trail Shrine. Go up the stairs, cross the bridge, and then go down.
Turn left, go under the bridge you just crossed, and go straight into the bamboo forest.
Find a narrow pathway between the rocks, with a statue and candles on the left. Go through this pathway, and you will reach the arena of Yaoguai Chief – Guangmou. Note: You can come back here later if you miss it. To get the bell, you have to defeat Guangmou. He can inflict poison, so be prepared with Antidote.
After the battle, go up the stairs behind the arena, and you will see the bell.
Bell 3: Marsh of the White Mist
The last bell is located in the Marsh of the White Mist. Follow the main path, avoid going towards Black Wind Cave. Go to the left and into a small cave, and you will find the bell at the end of the path, near where a wolf is hanging. Warning: There will be a few wolf soldiers guarding, deal with them first!
How to Enter the Secret Area of Chapter 1
As soon as you ring the third bell, regardless of which bell it is, you will be instantly teleported to Ancient Guanyin Temple. Don’t forget to interact with the Keeper’s Shrine here to save the game and recover. Then, go inside the temple…
Inside Ancient Guanyin Temple, you will face a final challenge: the hidden boss Elder Jinchi. This is a powerful sorcerer, capable of summoning corpses and using powerful magical attacks. Defeating him not only proves your skills, but also unlocks a worthy reward.
After defeating Elder Jinchi, you not only complete the secret area. But you are teleported back to the Marsh of the White Mists, interact with the hanging wolf, and you will receive the Fireproof Mantle, an important Vessel.
So you have successfully conquered the secret area Ancient Guanyin Temple in Black Myth: Wukong! Not easy, is it? You have overcome many challenges, from following the trail of the three ancient bells, facing “tough” bosses like Guangzhi, Guangmou, Whiteclad Noble, to the final battle with the sorcerer Elder Jinchi. Now, you not only own the precious Fireproof Mantle, but also accumulate more combat experience, understand the game world better, and can confidently move forward on the path to conquering Black Myth: Wukong.
