You can miss the second transformation in Black Myth Wukong
that lets you turn into a stone monster that can take a ton of damage
and do a very powerful ground pound.
There are multiple steps to get this.
First, go from the Rock Restaurant
that you will eventually get to in Chapter 2
and then enter the cave and immediately go right and run straight here.
We’ll find the boss, the mother of stones,
take it out and then run like this.
Hug the wall to the right,
down the bracing here’s and go right here as well.
Now just go down under the roof
and they will find the squall hideout shrine.
From the shrine,
hug the wall a bit to the left and then go under the tunnel like this.
You will find a cluster of vines who will attack you
after you give them the item that you got from the boss.
Take it out and the transformation is yours.
