The Secret Area of Chapter 1 in Black Myth: Wukong is behind the waterfall. To reach the waterfall, players must travel to the ‘Outside the Forest’ shrine in the Forest of Wolves. After spawning in, travel in a straight path while taking left turns. Players will face some normal enemies that are not difficult to deal with as they make their way through this part of the game.

After walking for a while, players will step into a pond. In the middle of the pond, there will be a waterfall that unlocks the secret area. However, to unlock the secret area players must progress through Chapter 2 of the game. Unlocking it requires an item called “Loong Scales” which are available in chapter 2 of the game. The waterfall unlocks a secret boss fight against the boss called “Red Loong”.

How To Find Loong Scales

Players must progress through Chapter 2 of Black Myth: Wukong until they beat the boss fight of King of Flowing Sand and the Second Rat Prince. This boss fight has two outcomes. If you defeat the King of Flowing Sand first, the Second Prince will grow stronger and will drop a piece of pungent flesh upon defeat. If you defeat the Second Prince first, then the King will run away and in the next arena, the First Prince will spawn.

Players can also use the piece of pungent flesh to spawn the First Prince as well. In the arena, where the First Prince spawns, there is a wall with symbols and statues on it. Players want the First Prince to slam on the wall to break it or players can use their powerful abilities as well. Once players go through the broken wall, they will come across a chest. Open the chest and players will be rewarded with Loong Scales.

Red Loong Boss Fight

Once players have obtained the Loong Scales, they should head back to the waterfall. Once there, they will be presented with a prompt “Examine”. Interact with it and the waterfall will open. Once through the waterfall, players will come into a brand-new arena and will be greeted with a cutscene. The cutscene features a Thunder Dragon called “Red Loong” which is the secret boss fight. It is a decent boss fight and not challenging. After defeating it players will be rewarded with a material called Loong Pearl. There will also be a chest present. It will reward players with material that they can use to craft a new weapon in Black Myth: Wukong.
