After acquiring the Lotus Pill, exit the building and interact with the Keeper’s Shrine in front of you. Congratulations, you’ve now reached the next subregion of Chapter 1, known as The Bamboo Grove.

When you start the game, you'll be presented with a lengthy cutscene before being thrust into a battle with the game's introductory boss, Erland, The Sacred Divinity . Don’t worry — while he has a wide range of moves and a large health pool, you can easily defeat him, since you can’t die in this fight.

Continue along the path where the boss was located and follow the trail, defeating any enemies in your way. Eventually, you'll reach an area where you can meditate — this is the first of three Meditation Spots in the Black Wind Mountain region.

A lack of a mini-map or compass was lamented by players and suggested as a simple solution to this issue. As was having the barriers glow a particular color when approached to make it clear the area was a no-go zone. Whatever the reason for it, though, this design choice is an odd

After defeating the Whiteclad Noble, there’s a small pathway to the left , leading up to the third bell. You’ll encounter a horde of wolf Yaoguai here. If you’ve rung the previous two bells, you’ll be immediately transported to the Ancient Guanyin Temple Secret Area after ringing the final bell.

Once you've defeated the boss, pick up his staff to be rewarded with the Red Tiles Spell . Afterward, interact with the massive bell in front of you. This is one of the three bells you need to ring in the Black Cloud, Red Fire chapter to unlock a secret.

When selecting spells, both the Red Tides and Azure Dust Transformations are decent choices here. Burning the Sage can cause quite a lot of damage, making Red Tides a good choice, but Azure Dust makes you incredibly tanky and can knock him flat if you manage to land the heavy attack or spell. The new parrying spell you got from the Tiger Vanguard, Rock Solid , is excellent for knocking the Sage off balance and giving you a chance to counterattack. In terms of dishing out damage, Pluck of Many is insanely good at tearing through the Yellow Wind Sage's health bar if you use it right before, or right after, knocking him down.

This item greatly increases your resistance to burn damage and can be activated to gain immunity from burn damage for a short while. Towards the end of Chapter 1, the Fireproof Mantle will be the first vessel you receive in the game.

He gains a new melee combo in this phase too, where he raises his hand glowing with light, before punching down into the ground and then slamming his staff down on the same spot. This is an easy one to dodge due to the wind-up, so just keep an eye on him and roll to either side as he performs each slam. He can also perform a staff swing before swinging a glowing hand upward, conjuring a line of spikes similar to the ones produced by his slam attacks. Dodge towards and around him so he isn't facing you when he summons the spikes.

The Yellow Wind Sage is your final challenge in Chapter 2 of Black Myth: Wukong , with a moveset that makes him dangerous at any distance. You'll have to find every advantage you can to come out on top against this sinister summoner of sandstorms, so let's talk strategy.
