Unlocking Chapter 3 Secret Area: Mount Mei

Discover how to unlock the secret area in Chapter 3, Mount Mei, in Black Myth: Wukong. Follow our step-by-step guide to prepare for the ultimate challenge.

Alright, so you're aiming to unlock that secret area in Chapter 3, Mount Mei, huh? It's a bit of a puzzle, and you can't actually get into it the first time you pass through Chapter 3. The real trick is that you need to have placed all the murals in The Great Pagoda, which only happens after you've progressed pretty far into the game, specifically to Chapter 6. Don't worry, though, it's totally doable! Here's the rundown of what you need to get done before you can step foot into Mount Mei:

Here's the checklist to unlock Mount Mei:

1. Clear the Secret Area in Chapter 1
2. Clear the Secret Area in Chapter 2
3. Complete the Treasure Hunter Quest in Chapter 3
4. Clear the Secret Area in Chapter 4
5. Clear the Secret Area in Chapter 5
6. Reach Chapter 6

Let's break down what each of those entails, because they're not all straightforward:

Once you've ticked all those boxes, you'll need to make your way to Chapter 6. Head back to The Great Pagoda. If you're not sure how to get there, start from the Pagoda Realm - Snow-Veiled Trail Shrine. Instead of going up the stairs, hang a right and cross the bridge. Keep going, and you'll find the Great Pagoda. You might remember it being pretty empty when you were here earlier. Now, though, you'll see murals on all the back walls except for the one smack in the middle. Go up the stairs and interact with that central wall. A scene will play out, and bam! You'll be transported to Mount Mei, Chapter 3's secret area.

There's not a ton to do once you arrive, mostly just head up the mountain to a Shrine. But get ready, because the secret boss is waiting up there, and trust me, it's the toughest fight you'll face in the game. Beat that boss, and you'll have met all the conditions for the true ending. Congrats, you've done it!
