If you’ve been playing Black Myth: Wukong for quite some time now, then you may have encountered an instance where you got a “X Spirit/Soul” after defeating a certain enemy, boss or miniboss. Basically, it gives you power and ability based on which boss the Spirit or Soul came from. There are lots of Spirits that are spread across all the chapters, and they can be tricky to find. In this guide, I’ll show you all the location of all the Spirit in Chapter 1 to 3, as well as provide directions in order to reach the locations!

All Spirit Locations | Chapter 1-3
For Chapter 1-3 in Black Myth Wukong, there’s a total of 21 Spirits that you can acquire. Of course, you’ll need to defeat certain special enemies, as well as bosses and mini bosses. I’ll provide all the information you’ll need to find, locate and beat the heck out of the bosses from Chapters 1 to 3 (in the order of appearance).
It’s awesome if you complete all the Spirits for the achievement and trophy. But if you’re only interested, or only need help with certain Chapter/s, feel free to use the Table of Contents below for easy navigation!
Chapter 1: Black Wind Mountain
- Wandering Wight: Dropped by the “Wandering Wight” boss – Forest of Wolves > Front Hills: From the shrine, follow the path straight ahead. You’ll find the boss wandering along the path. This creature, with its massive stone head, is hard to miss.
- If you’re interested, here’s a detailed guide which shows you how to beat the Wandering Wight boss, by exploiting its weaknesses and learning its attack patterns!
- IMPORTANT NOTE: This enemy vanishes after defeating the Secret Chapter 1 boss, “Elder Jinchi.”
- However, if you missed him in your first playthrough, don’t worry—he respawns in New Game+. You can reach him again within 10 minutes, and all Spirits carry over between playthroughs, so you’ll have another chance to collect his spirit.
- Baw-Li-Guhh-Lang: Dropped by the “Baw-Li-Guhh-Lang” boss – Bamboo Grove > Snake Trail: From the fast travel point, jump over the cliffs to the left to reach a lower area with a river. Follow the river to its end, where this boss awaits.
- Guangmou: Dropped by the “Guangmou” boss – Bamboo Grove > Snake Trail: Starting from the fast travel point, leap over the cliffs on the left to reach the river area below. Head right, past a snake enemy, and continue through a dense bamboo forest. Stay on the paved path, passing two torches, until you reach this boss.
- Wolf Assassin: Found in Black Wind Cave > Outside the Cave: From the shrine, head forward until you cross a wooden bridge, while dodging arrows from overhead arches. Look to your left for a drop into a side area with a chest. Defeat the Wolf Assassin there to obtain his blue soul.
Chapter 2: Yellow Wind Ridge
- Rat Archer: Found in Sandgate Village > Village Entrance: From the shrine, cross the wooden bridge to your left, then turn right to reach the village entrance. Go through the courtyard, looking for a breakable wall beneath a roof with a Rat Archer.
- Alternatively, follow the left path at the end of the village. Defeating the “Earth Wolf” miniboss here unlocks the village gate from behind. Once the archers fall from the gate, one will drop this spirit.
- Earth Wolf: Miniboss in Sandgate Village > Village Entrance: Follow the same steps as for the Rat Archer to find and defeat this miniboss.
- Swift Bat: Located in Sandgate Village > Valley of Despair: From the shrine, take the right path into a cave. After two encounters, drop down in the next section and head to the left corner. Walk across the broken pillar (under enemy fire) and squeeze through a wall to reach a glowing blue enemy. Defeat it for the spirit.
- Poisestone: Found in Fright Cliff > Squall Hideout: From the shrine, follow the left path until you can ascend to a cave. Continue right, then take the next left. You’ll encounter a glowing blue Poisestone enemy just before the “Rockrest Flat” shrine.
- Spearbone: Located in Fright Cliff > Rockrest Flat: From the shrine, follow the right path to find a blue-glowing Spearbone enemy, resembling a samurai with a shield. Defeat it to obtain its spirit.
- Civet Sergeant: Found in Crouching Tiger Temple > Temple Entrance: After defeating the “Tiger Vanguard” boss, interact with the statue in the arena.
- This triggers a cutscene where the blood drains from the arena, revealing a hidden hatch. Enter the hatch and follow the path to find this glowing blue enemy.
- Rat Governor: Located in Fright Cliff > Rock Clash Platform: From the shrine, follow the main path to find this glowing blue shaman-like enemy.
- Rat Imperial Guard: Found in Yellow Wind Formation > Windrest Bridge: From the shrine, head straight over the bridge and through the village.
- At the village’s end, you’ll find three rat enemies in red robes. One of them, glowing blue, drops this item. Use spells to clear out the enemies one by one.
- Tiger’s Acolyte: Found after defeating the Tiger’s Acolyte boss – Yellow Wind Formation > Windrest Hamlet: Continue on the path after the shrine to the next bridge, where this enemy awaits.
- Gore-Eye Daoist: Located in Yellow Wind Formation > Windseal Gate: From the shrine, take the left path, where the Gore-Eye Daoist boss can be found standing before a tree.
- Mad Tiger: Dropped by the “Mad Tiger” boss – Yellow Wind Formation > Windrest Hamlet: Defeat the “Tiger’s Acolyte” chief to obtain the “Old-Rattle Drum”. Use it at three locations to access the secret Mad Tiger fight:
- Yellow Wind Formation > Windseal Gate: From the shrine, cross the bridge, turn left, and enter a side area where the screen will turn gray. Use the Old-Rattle Drum.
- Yellow Wind Formation > Windrest Hamlet: Turn around from the shrine, head downstairs, and explore the village. Use the Drum near a group of Withered Corpse enemies.
- Sandgate Village > Village Entrance: Inside the village where you fought the “Earth Wolf” chief, explore a corner to use the Drum again. After a cutscene, jump into the well to trigger the Mad Tiger fight.
Chapter 3: The New West
- Mountain Patroller: Found in Snowhill Path > Frost-Clad Path: Follow the linear path past the Macaque Chief boss. When you reach an area with buildings, ascend the stairs on the left, then head straight. At the end of the path, you’ll find a group of enemies, including the Mountain Patroller. Defeat him for the spirit.
- Fungiman: Located in Pagoda Realm > Upper Pagoda: From the shrine, cross the wooden beam with an archer nearby. Enter the first gate on the left, then turn left to see a fungi growing from the ground. It’s a disguised enemy. Defeat it.
- Blade Monk: Found in Pagoda Realm > Outside the Wheel: From the shrine, turn 180° and walk towards the large bell. Turn right and proceed to the cliff’s edge, where a wooden chest is located.
- Drop down one level on the left, then walk to the end of this floor. You’ll find a glowing blue enemy near a golden-glowing keg containing an Awaken Wine Worm used to upgrade Drinks. If you want to learn more about it, here’s a detailed guide which shows All Drink locations in Black Myth Wukong!
- Falcon Hermit: Located in Pagoda Realm > Snow-Veiled Trail: From the shrine, ascend the slope straight ahead, then take the left path. Continue up the slope for about 1-2 minutes until you reach the top, where you’ll find a blue-glowing flying bird enemy. Defeat it for its spirit.
- Apramana Bat: Dropped by the “Apramana Bat” boss – Bitter Lake > North Shore of the Bitter Lake: From the shrine, follow the coastline on the right all the way to the end. A cutscene will trigger with the golden-armored bat boss.
