If Black Myth: Wukong players aren’t careful enough, they can easily miss certain bosses and quests without realizing it. This makes it impossible to experience them in your playthrough if you go past the point of no return.
As the Destined One levels up and progresses through each chapter, there are certain points of no return. These will make you miss out on special boss battles, quests, and even unlockables like Transformations.
To ensure you participate in everything Black Myth: Wukong has to offer, we’ll uncover all the possible missables throughout the game.
All missables in Black Myth: Wukong
Here’s everything you can miss during your journey through Black Myth: Wukong:
- Wandering Wight Spirit
- Second Rat Prince Spirit
- Auspicious Lantern
- Apramana Bat Spirit
- Venomous Armguard
- The Scorpionlord Boss Fight
- Daoist Mi Boss Fight
- Purple Talisman Quest
- Horse Guai Quest
- Old Man’s Quest
Old Man’s Quest
You’ll also come across the Old Man in Chapter 1, and then make an appearance in all chapters. Make sure you find him and talk to him and exhaust his dialogues before progressing in future chapters.
Chapter One
Chapter One has one sneaky missable boss if you progress too far ahead. You can entirely miss out on defeating the Wandering Wight if you ignore him and enter the Chapter One secret area and defeat the boss Elder Jinchi.
The Ancient Guanyin Temple is only accessible after ringing three bells, each with an enemy guarding it. Ring all three bells before defeating the Wandering Wight, and the boss will disappear for good.
Chapter Two
You can miss out on a Spirit transformation, the Second Rat Prince Spirit, if you don’t defeat the King of Flowing Sands first in their duo boss battle.
When fighting against these two in Sandgate Village, take down the King first to get the Spirit of the Prince after his demise.
Chapter Three
Another Spirit you can easily miss out on is the Apramana Bat Spirit. This can happen if you unlock the Shrine that comes after you meet Zhu Bajie before defeating the Apramana Bat.

Speaking of this creature in the North Shore of the Bitter Lake, you can accidentally ignore obtaining a unique Soak called Turtle Tear if you don’t interact with the snake bones after the Apramana Bat fight. The giant turtle will cry out a tear you can then pick up and use in your Gourd.
One other thing you can miss in Chapter Three is the Auspicious Lantern, a Rare Curio. You’ll lose this item if you take down Captain Wise-Voice in the Pagoda Realm before defeating the nine Lantern Wardens.
Chapter Four
Chapter Four has a few things you can miss if you’re not careful. Don’t attempt to fight the Duskveil boss of this chapter’s secret area, Purple Cloud Mountain, until you’ve first fought the Scorpionlord and Daoist Mi.
Not only will you miss out on both of these boss fights, but you’ll also fail to gain the Stained Jade Gourd from Scorpionlord and the Violet Hail Transformation from Daoist Mi. You’ll also miss out on a Journal Entry if you don’t fight these bosses beforehand.
Additionally, when you fight the Venom Daoist, make sure to break all its extra arms. If you don’t you’ll miss out on an item called Venomous Armguard. If you fail to get it in the first try, you’ll need to do it again in New Game +.
Chapter Five
In the last chapter of Black Myth: Wukong, you can miss a great Transformation called Dark Thunder. This is lost if you choose to defeat the Keeper of Flaming Mountains before speaking with the Horse Guai.
This friendly NPC, Ma Tianba, will be available to chat with in all five chapters of the game. Horse Guai’s long-stretching side quests will eventually lead you to obtain this Transformation in Chapter Five. Here are the locations where you can find Horse Guai in all five chapters:
- Inside a cave in Black Hills Keeper’s Shrine
- Under a gazebo near the Earth Wolf Arena
- Inside a building near Temple Entrance Keeper’s Shrine
- Inside a cocoon en route to the Cliff of Oblivion Keeper’s Shrine
- Inside a card just beyond the Valley Entrance Keeper’s Shrine
You must exhaust all the dialogues of Horse Guai to progress the quest.
Those are all the easily missed bosses, quests, and items in Black Myth: Wukong. If you’re someone who likes to unlock everything a game has to offer, make sure to check all the achievements.
