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.
