Forest Of Wolves

The only trouble you might find is with theWandering Wightboss a small distance into the “OutsideThe Forest” area. This powerhouse is tuned quite high for players just starting out, but you can feel free to either battle him now or just run past him and return later when you’re stronger. Besides that, make sure you visitGuangzhi’sarena - both to defeat him and obtain your first Transformation Spell, Red Tides; and to ring the first of three Bells in Chapter 1 which will unlock the Chapter’s secret area (more on this below).

Bamboo Grove

Once you’ve progressed beyond Guanyin Temple and its furry denizen Yaoguai King,Lingxuzi, you’ll arrive in the Bamboo Grove. The foes here are slightly tougher but will only really become a threat in open areas where many enemies can attack you at once. There are several NPCs to meet in this region, including:

The second and third bells can also be found here, adjoining the boss arenas ofGuangmouand theWhiteclad Noble. Ring all three to unlock the Ancient Guanyin Temple region.

Secret: Ancient Guanyin Temple

This secret area is well worth completing, not only because it’s part of a long series of steps required to completeBlack Myth: Wukong’s secret ending, but also because defeating Elder Jinchi gives you the Fireproof Mantle - a powerful item which will greatly help you against the final boss of Chapter 1.

Black Wind Cave

The final region of Chapter 1 is Black Wind Cave, which can be entered from just beyond the Whiteclad Noble’s boss arena in the Marsh Of White Mist. A very short distance into the region you’ll face the first of two tests - against theBlack Wind King. This boss will give you the incredibly handy Cloud Step Spell upon defeating him.

After that, it’s a fairly straight path to the end of the Chapter (although keep an eye out for an area you can drop down on the left side of the path to defeat a Wolf Assassin and earn another Spirit for your collection). Once you reach the “Bodhi Cave” Shrine, head up the steps for the final boss fight against theBlack Bear Guai.
