Introduction

Welcome to the Black Myth: Wukong Trophy Guide! This game is an Action Hack and Slash similar to God of War. The difficulty settings can’t be adjusted but it’s comparable to God of War on normal difficulty. If you thoroughly explore all areas you’ll have an easier time as you discover more equipment and level up. Attributes can be increased to a limited extent from the skill tree, and also by trading Mind Cores to Xu Dog in Chapter 2 at the Cellar Shrine. The game consists of 6 chapters, which are mostly linear. Each chapter takes place on a different map and lasts around 3-5 hours depending on how thoroughly you explore. There are checkpoints called Keeper’s Shrines, they are used to recover health & mana. You can fast travel between the chapters at any time using the Keeper Shrines. Most of the game consists of boss fights but there are also NPCs with little side quests. After the endboss you are put back into the Title Screen and can choose to continue playing, then it puts you back before the endboss. You can still free-roam to all areas from this point. However, if you go into New Game+ it will overwrite your save and you can’t go back, so clean up everything first before you do this! For Platinum you will need 100% completion. The easiest way to keep track of completion is through the game’s “Journal” menu. Bosses are divided into “Chiefs” for minibosses and “Kings” for main bosses. Most trophies come from bosses or side quests. The best approach is to go for 100% completion, then you’ll get most trophies along the way. Do everything you can during the story to level up. Then clean up any remaining trophies after the story, but before starting New Game+.

Step 1: Finish Story

Focus on finishing the story. The story consists of 6 linear Chapters. There are no difficulty settings, it’s one and the same difficulty for everyone.

Explore all areas thoroughly. If you try to rush the game you will make it harder for yourself, you’d be underleveled and underequipped. If you explore thoroughly it will be much easier. You need 100% completion for Platinum anyway which includes all Bosses, NPC Quests, and Equipment. So do as much side content as you can, it will save you time later.

After the final boss at the end of Chapter 6 you will be put back into the Title Screen. Then you can choose to “Continue Journey” or “Enter a New Cycle”. Choose “Continue Journey“. This puts you back before the final boss and you can keep exploring. All areas of all chapters can be revisited from this point. You can fast travel to previous chapters by using the Keeper’s Shrines (checkpoints where you recharge health). Don’t choose “Enter a New Cycle”, this would start New Game+ and overwrites your existing save, then there’s no way back and you’d have to redo everything!

If you want to do all optional bosses as you go, refer to the Boss Guide. It has strategies for all bosses and also their locations. But you can still clean them up after the story too. If you need any specific upgrades to get stronger, refer to the Collectibles linked in Step 2.

Step 2: 100% Completion Cleanup (Bosses, Equipment, Side Quests)

After the endboss in Chapter 6, choose “Continue Journey” from the Title Screen. You respawn before the endboss and can still go back to all areas/chapters to collect anything you have left. Bosses, NPCs and Side Quests are still accessible.

You need 100% Game Completion for platinum. This includes all Bosses, Equipment, Side Quests. The bosses often drop equipment that you need for other trophies. Many of the hidden bosses have a trophy tied to them. The Side Quests give trophies as well as hidden bosses.

Refer to the below guides for everything you need:

Bosses & Enemies:

• All Bosses
• All Journal Portraits (100% Completion – All Yaoguai Enemies Checklist)

Side Quests:

• Spells

Step 3: New Game+

Some trophies require going into New Game+. This can be started after the story from the Title Screen by choosing “Enter a New Cycle”.

WARNING: Starting New Game+ (“A New Cycle”) will overwrite your existing save file! Make sure you cleaned up any remaining content before doing this, or back up your save to the PS+ Cloud and copy it back after. Once you start New Game+ there’s no way back, you’d have to replay the entire game.

The following trophies require starting New Game+:

• Six Senses Secured – for having collected all 6 Relics during the main story. However, the trophy only unlocks when starting New Game+, after the first two cutscenes as soon as you start fighting the tutorial boss.
• Master of Magic – unlocks at start of New Game+, after the first two cutscenes as soon as soon as you start fighting the tutorial boss. You may need to have obtained All 10 Spells during the first playthrough for this to unlock (needs further confirmation). So make sure you have all 10 Spells before starting New Game+, refer to Spell Locations.

Collect the 4 Mythical Armor pieces from the 4 main bosses in the area: Gold Armored Rhino on the right on the upper plateau before lake, Cloudtreading Deer where the red trees are in the right corner past the big lake, Feng-Tail General by landing on the big grasshoper and holding onto his feelers (have high health and burn resistance to keep holding onto him in one go until he dies), Emerald-Armed Mantis in the yellow tree in the left corner at the edge of the big lake, if he doesn’t spawn beat the other 3 bosses first.
2. After collecting the 4 armor pieces, equip them and go to the cave at the end of the map on the upper plateau (behind the Son of Stones boss sitting on cliff). Inside the cave is a golden statue, it will trigger a cutscene. After the cutscene you automatically get the Mythical Weapon “Jingubang”, which unlocks this trophy.
