Legacy Gaming is bringing you all the big secrets in Black Myth Wukong. This is the final secret for Chapter 1 and ties everything together so far. Keep progressing through the zone until you reach the marsh of the white mist keeper shrine. Head down the stairs, defeating the lone enemy in the process. After a quick cutscene, a monkey will scurry off into the cave on your right. This is the home of Shen Monkey, one of the most important NPCs in the entire game. Here you’ll be able to upgrade your gourd, increasing the number of uses you get from it. You’ll also be able to upgrade your drink, increasing its potency. Shen also has a shop that will continue to expand as you reach each new chapter. You’ll want to frequent his hovel throughout your adventure, as upgrading your gourd and drink inside is essential to your long term success. Now at the bottom of the stairs is a small pond. There you’ll confront the white clad noble. This is one of the more challenging bosses in the first chapter and the first two phase encounter you’ll be confronted with. Up until this point you most likely only used Smash Dance, and it’s here that I recommend you start branching out, trying out either pillar or Thrust Dance, which are better suited for the encounter. The boss itself has a relatively complex move set, but he’s far less deadly at range. If you need a breather, just Pull back and get yourself organized before you go in for another attack. You can opt to wait for him to lunge at you, which opens him up for a second. It’s a slower way to approach the boss, but it’s a bit safer. Once defeated, you’ll want to head through the opening on the left side of the arena. This will take you to a small grotto guarded by a number of enemies. Defeat them all and you’ll be able to ring the third bell at the back of the area. Once the third bell has tolled, you’ll enter a short cinematic and be magically transported to the ancient Guanyin Temple. There you’ll encounter Elder Jin Chi, a boss very similar to the wandering white. This time, however, he’s more aggressive and has an army of followers at his back that make him an absolute menace to deal with. One really important tip with this fight is to use his own followers to your advantage. When you kill them, they restore your health, which is a sound tactic to staying in the fight long enough to take out the elder. Once defeated, a cutscene will play and you’ll be teleported back outside to the main world. At this point, you’ll be able to interact with the hanging body and you’ll obtain your first vessel. Fireproof mantle vessels are incredibly rare and powerful items that have both passive unequip effects as well as active on use effects. In the case Of the fireproof mantle. You’ll gain passive burn resistance and you’ll be immune to scorch damage from lava covered terrain. When activated, you’ll gain burn immunity and your focus will steadily increase for a limited time. This is a great enhancement to some of your other spells that increase focus, like a pluck of many and in conjunction can prove to be incredibly effective.
