So, you’ve made it to The New West in Black Myth: Wukong. Congrats! You’re about to uncover one of the game’s coolest secrets—the elusive Great Pagoda. But when you first arrive, it might feel like you’ve stumbled into an art gallery rather than an action-packed adventure.
All you see are murals and no obvious way to interact. Frustrating, right?
Don’t worry, it’s all part of the plan.
When you’re in The Great Pagoda, and instead of a flashy entrance or a grand reveal, you’re met with some quiet wall art.
But hang tight, because if you’re a fan of games with a touch of Chinese mythology, this little spot is going to blow your mind by the end.
How To Reach The Great Pagoda
If you don’t know Here’s are the steps get there:
- After you’ve tackled Captain Wise-Voice (props to you—seriously, that’s no easy task) and unlocked the Outside the Wheel Keeper’s Shrine, the real adventure begins.
- Head over to the Snow-Veiled Trail.
- Carefully make your way down a slope towards a wooden bridge—one that creaks under your weight and makes you wonder if it’s about to give way.
- Cross it, dodge the statues that look like they’re just waiting for a reason to come to life, and keep heading toward the Pagoda Realm.
Eventually, you’ll find something you can interact with—finally!
After a brief cutscene, you’ll be standing in The Great Pagoda with a Keeper’s Shrine on your left, almost as if the game’s saying, “Well done! Here’s your reward.”
But What Is Its Importance?
Now, what’s the deal with The Great Pagoda? After activating the Shrine during the third chapter, take a moment to look up.
Those murals on the left wall aren’t just for show. They’re like a visual diary of your journey.
As you progress through the chapters, these murals expand and tell more of your story. It’s like watching your adventure unfold right before your eyes.
After you’ve beaten the final boss and the game is wrapped up, you get a choice—start a New Game+ or keep exploring.
If you choose to continue, you’ll find yourself right before the final boss again.
Head back to the Keeper’s Shrine and check out the middle mural.
If you’ve been thorough—unlocking all the secret areas and completing the Treasure Hunter quest—an NPC will be waiting for you.
What follows? A series of thrilling boss fights and—drumroll, please—the secret ending of the game.
