Black Myth: Wukong Chapter 6 ramps up the intensity by immersing players into boss fights and getting into the home of Sun Wukong, Mount Huaguo.
As well as leading to the game’s true ending, this chapter sees a rematch with Erlang Shen, a powerful character from Celestial Court. Mount Huaguo is an open world area, and while those are plentiful to engage in battles with, there isn’t much else to do.
The chapter is divided into distinct areas:
- Foothills
- Water Curtain Cave
- Mount Mei (optional)
- Birthstone
It’s necessary to visit Mount Mei, from Chapter 3, in order to unlock the true ending. Chapter 6 begins you heading up Mount Huaguo with your companion Zhu Bajie where you encounter Celestial Court’s minions.

After Erlang is beaten, you will go at it with a kaiju style battle with the Four Heavenly Kings and Erlang Shen’s lion form. Players get the Stone Monkey Transformation, along with Erlang’s Tri Point Double Edged Spear, which yields access to the game true ending, in return.
4. Birthstone Walkthrough
The final boss at the Birthstone is The Stone Monkey. In this two-phase fight of dodging shockwaves and the rings of fire. In the second part of the Stone Monkey, it splinters into two and you have to concentrate on taking on one at a time.
When you defeat the Stone Monkey, you’ll get to battle the Great Sage’s Broken Shell, a tough boss based on Wukong’s powers. Heavy attacks and Wukong’s armor will do the job, but you’ll need to try the process out a few times to get him.
