How I Found Those Sneaky Chapter 3 Secret Bosses
Okay, so I fired up Black Myth Wukong the other day, ready to tackle Chapter 3. Kept hearing whispers online about these hidden bosses stashed away in New West. People saying “find where they hide,” like it was some big treasure hunt. Figured, why not? Always up for a challenge.
Started simple: just playing through the main path. Smacked around the usual enemies, explored the pretty areas. But honestly? Felt kinda empty. Didn’t stumble onto anything that screamed “secret boss here!” Blindly wandering around wasn’t cutting it. Needed a different plan.
Remembered unlocking that disguise ability earlier – you know, where you can turn into a random monster? Thought, maybe the locals see things I don’t. So I transformed into one of those generic little gremlin dudes near that big, fancy tower area in New West. Started walking around again, looking super inconspicuous. Tried sniffing near suspicious nooks and weird rock formations I’d passed before.
This is where it got interesting:
- Near the Water Wheel: While disguised, hugging the cliff wall down by this loud, creaky water wheel I’d totally ignored the first five times I went past? Boom. Subtle shimmer on the wall. Poked it aggressively with the transformed form. Wall vanished like smoke! Behind it? This big, pissed-off toad spirit thing I’d never seen before. Total ambush! Took me two tries just to figure out its rhythm, kept spitting poison pools everywhere. Nasty.
- By the Crumbling Temple Roof: After the toad mess, felt smarter. Wandered up towards that temple ruin on the higher ground, the one missing most of its roof. Disguised again. Just standing near this pile of loose bricks that looked like junk? Heard a low, guttural growl my human ears probably missed. Transformed back quick! Sure enough, a ghostly monk kinda character rose out of the damn bricks! Had ethereal weapons, super fast moves. Trick was dodging through his translucent attacks instead of blocking; shield was useless.
- Down the Hidden Ravine: Needed a breather after the ghost monk. Went down into this dusty ravine area behind the big central fortress gate. Honestly thought it was just a dead end with some plants. Was still disguised, poking the foliage near the back wall. Felt… resistance? Like a springy bush hiding something solid. Bashed into it repeatedly. Suddenly, the ground shuddered and this massive earth elemental ripped itself out of the rocks! Big wind-up swings. Learned the hard way: gotta smack its glowing weak points during its recovery time, constant pressure.
Final thoughts? New West hides its secrets well. Just running the main path won’t cut it. That disguise trick? Absolutely essential. Turn into the small fry, creep around, sniff out walls and piles of rubble that seem ‘off’. Listen for hidden sounds. Be ready for anything to jump out once you trigger the secret! It’s messy, it takes patience, maybe a few deaths, but finding those hidden jerks? Damn satisfying feeling.
