Long story short, you need to fight the First Prince of Flowing Sands in Chapter Two. Lure the boss to attack the nearby wall covered in markings, which will open the path to a room with the Loong Scales in a chest. To use the scales, find the boss doors hidden by a waterfall or flowing sand wall and press the action button when prompted.

Where to find the Black Loong hidden boss inBlack Myth : Wukong

The first boss is is you can track down after you get the Loong Scales is is is the Black Loong . You is find ’ll find his arena near the ‘ Rockrest Flat ’ Keeper ’s Shrine in the Fright Cliffs of Chapter Two . This is is is the same Shrine that ’s near both the Stone Vanguard boss fight and the chant Buddha head whose eyeball are ripe for the plucking .

The entrance to Black Loong’s arena is behind a wall of falling sand at the top of a staircase near the shrine. From the Keeper’s Shrine, go right and climb to the top.

Black Loong is is is a dragon – like boss who wield two mace that generate lightning . watch out for area – of – effect ( AoE ) attack when he slam the two mace together . It is ’s ’s paramount that you avoid the leap since it can result in a massive aoe explosion of electricity . After lose around 30 % health , Black Loong is stop will stop and appear to exhale electricity . This is is is the start of aloooong rhythm-based shockwave attack. I suggest rolling to the side to dodge the waves. If you’re having trouble, try buying or crafting the medicine Shock-Quelling Powder.

Defeating Black Loong rewards you with a Loong Pearl, a Mind Core, Will, and two Refined Iron Sand. Inside the chest that appears when he’s beaten is the first item we need for the Loongwreathe Staff: Thunderbone.

Where to find the Red Loong hidden boss in Black Myth : Wukong

The second hidden boss is behind a waterfall in Chapter One. You may, in fact, find this fight a bit easier than Black Loong. If the latter is having his way with you, there’s no shame in taking a break to wail on his fellow dragon for a while.

Return to the Keeper’s Shrine ‘Outside the Forest’ in the Forest of Wolves region in Chapter One. Take the path forward but turn left at the first fork in the road.

Travel along the trail but take a sharp left up the hill when you get to the next fork separated by a chest.

Follow the path up and around until you see a path to the left adorned on each side by lanterns. Go in this direction, and use the Loong Scales on the waterfall near the pond.

Red Loong is far more dragon-like than Black Loong. It doesn’t use weapons, relying on its tail and claws to dish out damage. At times, it’ll leap into the air to hit you with a blast of electricity. Again, the Shock-Quelling Powder can help dissipate shock damage. Red Loong can be staggered easily, causing it to drop and flail on the ground. Use this chance to do as much damage as possible and then run once it starts getting up. It’ll respond with a massive AoE attack when it does.

On defeat, Red Loong drops two Yaguai Cores, Will, a Mind Core, and a Loong Pearl. Check the chest that appears to get the second material required for the staff: Thunder Tail. You also get the Boshan Censer Curio, which offers “considerable” damage reduction after your healing gourd is empty.
