Guides for Black Myth: Wukong
Beyond the main story bosses, players will encounter a variety of opponents, each with distinct traits. Among them are lunar adversaries whose Luna scales appear in this guide and can help in locating these foes.
Why Luna Scales Matter
This essential resource paves the way to battles with the moon bosses. They are not strictly required to finish the campaign, but defeating them yields valuable materials and items that prove useful later on in the game.
How to Obtain Luna Scales and Their Location
The total number of scales needed to satisfy all moon bosses can be collected in a single place. Players should travel to the altar at Sand Gate Village in the Valley of Despair. From there, move southeast into the cave, press forward through the descent and follow the terrain until a distant torch comes into view. When the torch is reached, take a left toward the cliff and jump into the arena below.
If the First Prince of the Flowing Sands has not yet been defeated, a battle will begin upon entry. A notable feature in this arena is an unusual wall that deserves a closer look. Understanding the boss’s patterns helps create openings for easier victories.
If the anticipated attack window proves elusive, the spirit Wandering Peace becomes the key to breaking through the wall. This spirit opens a new route to the hidden space where Luna scales can be claimed.
How to Acquire the Spirit of Wandering Peace
Head to the altar at Wolf Forest, Forest Outside, and take the path to the left until a distinctive stone appears beyond the bridge. After a short sequence of events, the arena with the eponymous boss will be entered. Defeating that foe yields the ghost, which can be used on the wall to reveal the hidden area and grant access to more moon-scale rewards.
Transformation Azure Dust
There are multiple routes to crack the wall and reach the hidden space. One method ties into the quest The Man in the Stone. Start at the Rock of Fear altar in Wind Retreat. Leave the altar and head northeast along the path. A short distance ahead, turn right and pass through an arch. A dead end will reveal a peculiar object that must be interacted with. After this interaction, return to the altar and take the stairs on the left. Continue forward, keeping to the right edge as stairs appear again, guiding the ascent.
Proceed straight, following the road until another staircase shows up on the left. After climbing, move southeast and pass a pillar. The path leads into a cave that sits to the left of an enemy, just beyond a rocky outcrop. There the goal is to reach the other edge connected to the torch-lit road. Follow it to the end where the boss resides. Defeat that opponent and return to the initial search area to confront another foe, finally obtaining the transformation.
With one of these methods, the wall can be broken, a hole entered, and all the moon scales retrieved from the chest inside the hidden space.
