In Black Myth: Wukong, numerous hidden quests add depth to the narrative, and one of the more poignant ones involves helping a restless fox spirit. Completing this quest requires exploration, combat, and understanding the spirit’s tragic story. Here’s a detailed guide on how to complete the Fox Quest in Black Myth: Wukong without missing any critical steps.
Finding the Fox Spirit
The quest begins in Chapter 3 of the game, near the Forest of Felicity Shrine. As you walk along a trail, keep an eye out for a wooden structure on the left side of the path. Here, you’ll discover the corpse of the fox spirit. Approach the corpse, and the fox spirit will speak to you, revealing its story and asking for your assistance.
Understanding the Fox Spirit’s Story
The fox spirit shares a tale of betrayal. A kind man once found the fox, injured and helpless, and helped it recover. The fox, grateful, remained with the man until one fateful night when the man had a nightmare. In his fear, he killed the fox and left to become a monk, abandoning the spirit. The fox spirit now seeks to confront this man, who can be found in the left section of Thunderclap Temple.
Transforming into the Fox
As part of the quest, the fox spirit grants you the ability to transform into a fox using an item called the Snow Fox Brush. This transformation is crucial as it allows you to move through areas with less attention from enemies. Should you lose your fox form, you can use the Snow Fox Brush to regain it.
Navigating the Path
Your journey takes you through a lengthy and winding path filled with obstacles and enemies. Continue along the trail, passing through a red wall where two yellow-robed enemies attempt to ambush you. Keep moving forward until you reach a broken wooden arch with a Shrine nearby.
Facing the Boss
Beyond the arch lies a group of enemies and a set of stairs leading to an ominous red glow. Here, you will face Captain Kalpa Wave, a boss guarding the path ahead. Defeating this boss is necessary to progress in the quest. After the battle, proceed into the temple and activate the Temple Entrance Shrine.
Reaching the Monk
Inside the temple, navigate through the building until you encounter a large staircase guarded by caster enemies. Head up the stairs on the left, then circle around the area before descending another set of stairs that leads to a second temple. Inside, you’ll find another staircase on the right. Climb it, turn right at the top, and continue along the walkway until you reach a small door guarded by two casters. These enemies wield lightning powers, so take them out carefully before proceeding.
Beyond this door, you’ll find a large stone staircase slightly to your left. Climb the stairs, and you’ll finally reach the monk that the fox spirit seeks. Before entering, ensure you’re in fox form by using the Snow Fox Brush, as this will trigger a critical cutscene followed by a boss fight.
Concluding the Quest
After the confrontation with the monk, return to the fox spirit’s corpse and speak to it one last time. This action will free the spirit, completing the quest. As a reward, you’ll receive the Snow Fox Brush Curio.
With the Fox Quest completed, you’re one step closer to mastering the secrets of Black Myth: Wukong. Make sure to explore further for more hidden quests and challenges throughout your journey.
