The final Relic, Freed Mind, in Black Myth Wukong is unlocked after you complete the base game and proceed into a freshJourney, i.e., New Game+. However, you can get the Freed Mind Relic if you complete the game with thetrueending. Much like the other five Relics that you have collected in your previous playthrough, the sixth and final Relic – Freed Mind, offers three distinct perks to choose from, each offering a significant advantage that helps a lot with the increased difficulty of the New Game+ mode.
It’s currently unclear whether there’s any special ending or story-related sequence tied to the six Relic or not, but it does offer an insight into some of the lingering questions that players might be left with at the end of their first playthrough. Although the Freed Mind is unlocked automatically upon starting New Game+, getting the true ending isn’t nearly as straightforward. To get the true ending, you need to meet certain prerequisites, which can be a bit troublesome to figure out, especially on your first playthrough.
Here’s a look at all the prerequisites for the true ending, as well as the easiest way to get the sixth and final Relic in Black Myth Wukong – Freed Mind.
How to get the true ending in Black Myth Wukong?
To get the true ending, there are essentially three prerequisites that you need to meet – Complete the Yellow Loong questline, Reach the finale of Chapter 6 (Mount Huaguo), and uncover theGreat Pagodain Chapter 3 (The New West). Upon completing all the prerequisites, you will get passage to the secret area in Chapter 3 –Mei-Jian Peak, via a portal in the Great Pagoda. At the Mei-Jian Peak, you willagain faceErlang Shen(from the prologue), and only afterdefeating him as well as theFour Heavenly Kings, can you get the true ending of Black Myth Wukong.
It should be noted that even if you get the normal ending once, you can still work your way towards the true ending, without having to startNew Game+. You can fight the final boss of Black Myth Wukong –Stone MoneyandThe Great Sage’s Broken Shellas many times as you want, simply by interacting with the stone egg in Chapter 6 (Mount Huaguo).
How to complete the Yellow Loong questline in Black Myth Wukong
The Yellow Loong questline can be completed by finding theLoong Scalesand defeating allfour Loong brothersacross Chapter 1 (Black Wind Mountain), Chapter 2 (Yellow Wind Ridge), Chapter 3 (The New West), and Chapter 4 (The Webbed Hollow). You can obtain the Loong Scales key item from theFirst Rat Princeboss arena in Chapter 2 (Yellow Wind Ridge). Once you have the Long Scales, you will need to find the first three Loongs across the game’s opening chapters.
Once you defeat the three Loongs, you will find the fourth and final Loong brother – theYellow Loongnear theRelief of the Fallen LoongKeeper’s Shrine in Chapter 4 (The Webbed Hollow). After defeating the Yellow Loong, you will obtain theGolden LiningTransformation Spell and a passage to the great Pagoda in Chapter 3 (The New West).
How to reach the finale of Chapter 6 (Mount Huaguo)
Chapter 6 (Mount Huaguo) is straightforward, with five main story bosses –Supreme Inspector,Cludtreading Deer,Gold Armored Rhino,Feng-Tail General, andEmerald-Armed Mantis, that you need to defeat before reaching the finale. Furthermore, the entire Chapter is a boss rush, meaning there is very minimal exploration, as such it won’t take too long to reach the finale. Once you reach the finale of Chapter 6 (Mount Huaguo), you must go back to theGreat Pagodato complete the final step of the true ending.
How to reach the Great Pagoda in Black Myth Wukong
The Great Pagoda can be found near theSnow-Veiled TrailKeeper’s Shrine in Chapter 3 (The New West). Once you reach the Snow-Veiled Trail Keeper’s Shrine, simply proceed east until you reach a bridge. Across the bridge, you will find a trail of frozen zombified monks. Follow the trail and arrive at a massive snow-covered area resembling a boss arena. Across the arena, you will find a frost-covered gate with which to interact to reach the Great Pagoda. If you have completed the other requirements for the true ending, reaching the Great Pagoda should trigger a cutscene that will teleport you to theMei-Jian Peak.
Mei-Jian Peak is a small area with only one boss fight – Erlang, the Sacred Divinity. Defeating Erlang, the Sacred Divinity, is necessary to get the true ending of Black Myth Wukong. Once you defeat Erlang, he will return from the battle and transform into his beast form. At this point, the Destined One will also transform into theStone Monkeyand have to spar against theFour Heavenly Kings.
After defeating the Four Heavenly Kings, you must fight Erlang Shen in his beast form. And once you defeat Erlang Shen, you will obtain the Azure Dome Transformation Spell. Furthermore, after defeating Erlang, you must travel back to Mount Huaguo and defeat the final boss of Black Myth Wukong –Stone Monkeyand theGreat Sage’s Broken Shell. Upon defeating the final boss after defeating the Yellow Loong and Erlang Shen, you will get the game’s true ending.
How to obtain the Freed Mind Relic in New Game+
You get the Freed Mind Relic after starting New Game+ following the true ending of Balck Myth Wukong. It should be noted that if you did get the true ending, you still will be able to see the Freed Mind Relic in your Relics inventory, but won’t be able to activate its perks. Freed Mind is essentially the crown that was used by the Celestial Court to bind Sun Wukong to their will. Much like the other Relics in the game, the Freed Mind offers three distinct perks to choose from:
In addition to the Freed Mind, New Game+ adds a new Spell, theLife-Saving Strand. This spell revives the Destined One once during the battle. The Life-Saving Strand replaces the A Pluck of Many. Furthermore, New Game+ also adds a few new weapons for you to craft that offer higher attack power as well as critical damage. These new weapons are available to craft after completing a main story chapter or certain side quests.
