Find out how you can unlock and reach Secret: Bishui Cave in Black Myth: Wukong Chapter 5 to unlock the game’s true ending.
Bishui Cave is the secret region in Chapter 5 of Black Myth: Wukong. Akin to all other hidden areas, you will find new bosses to defeat here. If you want to reach Mount Mei and unlock the game’s true ending, then completing this area and defeating the final boss is necessary.
Unlike other secret areas, the Bishui Cave in Black Myth: Wukong does not offer any key item that aids in the final boss battle of the chapter. Instead, it reveals a piece of the past, a dark story that will make sense once you complete Chapter 5. Read on to discover how to unlock and reach Bishui Cave in Black Myth: Wukong.
Steps to Unlock and Reach Bishui Cave in Black Myth: Wukong
Bishui Cave is a secret region located at the far end of Chapter 5 of Black Myth: Wukong. To reach this region, you will have to talk to the Pale-Axe Stalwart and start his quest line first.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to unlock and reach Bishui Cave in Black Myth: Wukong:
Step 1: Find and defeat Pale-Axe Stalwart
You need to find and defeat the Pale-Axe Stalwart to start the quest to reach Bishui Cave in Black Myth: Wukong. Fast Travel to the Ashen Pass 1 Keeper’s Shrine and take the path to your right. There will be countless mobs fighting here, and you need to defeat them all. Be aware of raining fireballs. After you clear the mob, you will have to beat the Pale-Axe Stalwart, who was also a part of the mass fight here.
Step 2: Talk to Pale-Axe Stalwart
Talk to the Pale-Axe Stalwart after you defeat him. The NPC will identify himself as an ally of the Bull King and request that you clear the Element Carts blocking the roads. Your task now is to find and defeat all the Element Carts.
These fire-breathing carts are simple to fight. Equip the Fire Mantle that you get after defeating Elder Jinchi to have an easier time.
Step 3: Defeat all the Element Carts
There are four Element Carts that you will need to defeat. You can see the first Element Cart on a high ledge opposite the Pale-Axe Stalwart. You will automatically encounter the second and third carts on your mission progressions and as you explore Chapter 5. There is a fifth Element Cart as well, but that one is automatically defeated by someone else.
The last Rusty-Gold Cart can easily be missed since it is on the far end of Chapter 5’s map. It guards the door to the secret Bishui Cave in Black Myth: Wukong.
Here are the locations of all the four Element Carts in Black Myth: Wukong Chapter 5:
| Cart | Keeper’s Shrine | Region |
| Brown-Iron Cart | Ashen Pass 1 | Woods of Ember |
| Gray-Bronze Cart | Height of Ember | Woods of Ember |
| Crimson-Silver Cart | The Emerald Hall | Furnace Valley |
| Rusty-Gold Cart | Cooling Slope | Field of Fire |
Step 4: Talk to the Pale-Axe Stalwart
You will find the Pale-Axe Stalwart heavily injured when you approach the Rusty-Gold Cart. During your fight, you will notice a huge silver mirror-like structure behind the boss. After you have defeated the boss, go and talk to the gravely injured Bull, and he will tell you that the truth lies beyond the door (mirror). With this, the Pale-Axe Stalwart will perish.
Interact with this mirror to shatter it and enter the cave that it reveals. This is the entrance to the Bishui Cave region in Black Myth: Wukong. After a short distance, you will see a gigantic pillar-like structure that will trigger a cutscene and automatically take you to the secret Bishui Cave. The first Keeper’s Shrine in Bishui Cave is the Purge Pit, but it is not at the entrance of this regionr. You must delve deeper into the cave to find this Shrine.
