Chapter 3 of Black Myth: Wukong is teeming with secrets, and the Treasure Hunter side quest is one you won’t want to miss, especially after you end the game. This seemingly harmless NPC leads you on a journey that culminates in an unexpected boss fight and a hidden area crucial to unlocking the game’s true ending. So this is just part one of unlocking the secret ending of Black Myth Wukong. Let’s get to it!
How To Find The Treasure Hunter in Black Myth Wukong
Your first encounter with the Treasure Hunter is likely to be near Bitter Lake, just outside a temple besieged by tree spirits. Dispatch these foes, and you’ll find the Hunter in need of rescue. However, this NPC has a penchant for wandering. If you’ve progressed too far in the main story, they might have already relocated to the Valley of Ecstasy. Keep an eye out near the Forest of Felicity Keeper’s Shrine – they tend to linger around the Towers of Karma Shrine.
How To Help The Treasure Hunter in Black Myth Wukong (Warm Up To Him)
Your initial interactions with the Treasure Hunter involve warming them up with the Ring of Fire spell and exhausting their dialogue. It’s a bit of a tedious process, but it eventually leads to a revelation: a hidden shrine somewhere in the Valley of Ecstasy. The hunt is on!
From the Forest of Felicity Shrine, head right and descend into the snowy slopes. You’ll encounter plenty of enemies along the way, but don’t feel obligated to engage them all. Your goal is the Melon Field Keeper’s Shrine, marked by a giant golden Buddha statue.
How To Defeat The Green-Capped Martialist Black Myth Wukong
Approaching the Buddha statue triggers a cutscene that reveals the Treasure Hunter’s true identity: the Green-Capped Martialist, a formidable secret boss. This fight is a true test of your reflexes and dodging skills. The Martialist’s relentless combos and fire attacks will keep you on your toes.
Tips to Defeat Green Cap Martialist
- Dodge: The Martialist’s attacks are swift and unforgiving. Timing your dodges perfectly is crucial for survival.
- Beware the Burn: The Martialist’s fire attacks inflict the Burn status, which drains your health rapidly. Equip the Fireproof Mantle or keep healing items handy to counteract this effect.
- Patience is Key: Don’t rush your attacks. Wait for openings in the Martialist’s combos to strike back.
Spell Binder Tool Unlocked + Secret
Defeating the Green-Capped Martialist grants you the Spell Binder magic, a powerful tool that enhances your vessels, transformations, and soul skills. But perhaps the most significant reward is access to a secret area tied to the game’s hidden ending.
