Unlocking the Bishui Cave Secret Area in Black Myth Wukong Chapter 5

Black Myth Wukong is a game full of hidden secrets, and one of the most exciting areas to discover is the Bishui Cave secret area in Chapter 5. However, getting to this hidden location requires some work, including defeating four bosses and completing an NPC's quest.

Location of Bishui Cave in Black Myth Wukong (Chapter 5 secret area)

The secret area in Chapter 5 unlocks after reaching a certain point in the game, specifically when you encounter the rolling giant spiked ball. Progress ahead by following the road and staying on the sides to avoid the incoming giant spiked metal ball. After reaching the end of the road, a cutscene will trigger, showing Zhu Bajie knocking the giant ball off the cliff.

The cutscene also shows Pingpong extinguishing the flames that blocked the path leading to the secret area of Chapter 5 in Black Myth Wukong.

Pale-Axe Stalwart Five Carts Quest

To access the Bishui Cave secret area, you need to complete the Pale-Axe Stalwart's quest to destroy all five element carts. You'll encounter Pale-Axe Stalwart as a boss at the start of Chapter 5, but after depleting his health, he'll transform into a friendly NPC.

Exhaust all of his dialogues to learn about his quest for destroying all five element carts.

Carts to Destroy

• Brown-Iron Cart
• Gray-Bronze Cart
• Crimson-Silver Cart

The first three carts are part of the Chapter 5 story and are not missable. You'll encounter each of these bosses as you progress through the chapter.

Defeating the Last Two Carts

The last two carts, Azure-Steel Cart and Rusty-Gold Cart, require additional steps. To find the Rusty-Gold Cart:

1. Teleport to the Fallen Furnace Crater Keeper's Shrine in Field of Fire.
2. Go down the hill and follow the path, keeping an eye on the left side for a new road leading to an area previously blocked by debris and fire.
3. Defeat the Flint Vanguard boss and continue progressing ahead to reach the 'Cooling Slope' Keeper's Shrine.

Frozen Door and the Rusty-Gold Cart

From the 'Cooling Slope' Keeper's Shrine, you'll see a frozen door in the distance. As you approach, a cutscene will trigger, showing the Rusty-Gold Cart critically injuring Pale-Axe Stalwart. This will spawn the Rusty-Gold Cart boss.

Entering Chapter 5 Secret Area Bishui Cave

After defeating the Rusty-Gold Cart, you'll be able to enter the Bishui Cave secret area. The frozen door will teleport you to a dark and eerie linear level, and then again to another location called Bishui Cave.
