Quick Info
Black Myth: Wukong has one of the more collectible-heavy routes in the PlayStation trophy guides library. This page contains boss, area, and ending spoilers.
Black Myth: Wukong Trophy Guide and Platinum Roadmap
Phase 1: Complete the Story and Protect Every Missable
I recommend treating the first playthrough as the completion run. Explore side paths, defeat optional bosses, kill each standard enemy type at least once, and exhaust dialogue with the Old Man and Ma Tianba in Chapters 1-5. Check the missable table before each chapter boss because several Spirits, Journal entries, a Curio, armor piece, and Gourd can disappear.
Complete the secret areas in Chapters 1, 2, 4, and 5, plus the Treasure Hunter quest in Chapter 3. These routes provide Vessels, crafting materials, and access to Erlang. Defeat all six frogs, the four Loongs, and every boss shown in the Journal.
In Chapter 6, collect Wukong's armor and Jingubang, then defeat the final boss for A Duel of Destiny. Its free-roam cleanup is less restrictive than the Sekiro trophy route because Continue Journey keeps every chapter accessible.
Phase 2: Continue Journey and Finish First-Run Cleanup
Select Continue Journey after the credits. Do not choose Enter a New Cycle yet. Finish every available Journal entry, Vessel, Curio, Spirit, Transformation, Celestial Pill, Seed, Meditation Spot, formula, brewing item, weapon, and armor piece.
Complete the Great Pagoda route and Erlang's full Mount Mei encounter for Meet the Match. You can then replay the Chapter 6 final boss to view the secret ending, though the Erlang trophy has already unlocked.
Before taking the final item in any collection, disable automatic cloud sync and upload a PlayStation Plus backup. It provides another attempt if the trophy does not unlock.
Phase 3: New Game Plus and Final Crafting
Start New Game Plus only after cleanup. A New Cycle replaces the current world state, though character and inventory progress carry over.
Six Senses Secured and Master of Magic unlock early in the new cycle if their first-run conditions are complete. Buy the Soul Remigration Pill formula from Xu Dog and Guanyin's Willow Leaf from Shen Monkey for Page Preserver and Brewer's Bounty.
Replay the required secret areas and bosses for duplicate crafting materials. Expect to reach the end of Chapter 5 because Bishui Cave supplies the second set of Bull King's Iron Horns. Careful crafting should finish Staffs and Spears, Mantled with Might, and the Platinum without a third run.

Missable Trophies in Black Myth: Wukong
Seven trophies contain missable requirements. Every failure can be repaired in New Game Plus, but a late mistake can add several chapters.
| Chapter | Missable Action | Affected Trophy |
|---|---|---|
| Chapters 1-5 | Exhaust the Old Man's dialogue and bring a nine-charge Gourd to his Chapter 5 fire. | Always Accompanied |
| Chapters 1-5 | Exhaust Ma Tianba's dialogue each chapter, then complete his Element Cart interaction. | Urge Unfulfilled |
| Chapter 1 | Defeat Wandering Wight before finishing the Elder Jinchi route. | Fickle Forms |
| Chapter 2 | Kill the King of Flowing Sands first so Second Rat Prince drops his Spirit. | Fickle Forms |
| Chapter 3 | Kill all nine Lantern Wardens before Captain Wise-Voice. | A Curious Collection |
| Chapter 3 | Defeat Apramana Bat while Zhu Bajie remains at the North Shore. | Portraits Perfected |
| Chapter 4 | Break four rear arms during the first Venom Daoist fight. | Mantled with Might |
| Chapter 4 | Finish all four Purple Talisman altars before the chapter boss. | Portraits Perfected |
| Chapter 4 | Finish Daoist Mi before Duskveil removes him. | Fickle Forms, Portraits Perfected |
| Chapter 4 | Defeat Scorpionlord before Duskveil for Stained Jade Gourd. | Brewer's Bounty, Portraits Perfected |
Clear every named side boss and NPC interaction before the chapter finale. Seeing an enemy is not enough for its portrait, so confirm that each new type appears in the Journal.
Collectibles Overview
Track each trophy set separately because the inventory does not provide one complete Platinum checklist.
| Collection | Requirement | Main Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Journal | 90 Lesser Yaoguai, 55 Chiefs, 26 Kings, and 32 Characters | Timed bosses, NPCs, and enemies that must be killed once |
| Vessels | 4 | Secret-route completion |
| Curios | 36 | Auspicious Lantern cutoff |
| Spells | 18 including Life-Saving Strand | Missable quest spells and NG+ |
| Spirits and Transformations | 54 Spirits and 10 Transformations | Several timed encounters |
| Weapons | 20 | NG+ recipes and boss materials |
| Armor | 78 base-set pieces | Venomous Armguard and Bull King materials |
| Celestial Pills | 15 world pickups | Crafted pills do not count |
| Medicine Formulas | 14 | One is NG+ only |
| Seeds | 15 | Random plant and enemy drops |
| Meditation Spots | 24 | Spread across Chapters 1-5 |
| Frogs | 6 | One per chapter |
| Brewing Items | All required Gourds, Drinks, and Soaks | Stained Jade Gourd and an NG+ Soak |
Harvest plants throughout both runs instead of leaving every random Seed for the end. Pick up Spirits immediately, since Retrieve Spirits cannot restore enemies removed by story progression.
Does New Game Plus Affect Trophies?
Yes. Four objectives are directly NG+ gated: Six Senses Secured, Master of Magic, Page Preserver, and Brewer's Bounty. Staffs and Spears and Mantled with Might also normally finish there because one cycle lacks enough unique crafting materials.
Levels, equipment, skills, spells, Spirits, Curios, and collection progress carry over. Shrines, bosses, quests, and world pickups reset. Completing every first-run secret area prevents a third cycle for missing materials.
A prepared second cycle also keeps the Stellar Blade trophy route focused by moving first-run cleanup out of New Game Plus.
General Tips for the Platinum
- Respec Sparks for free at any Keeper's Shrine and rebuild around the next boss.
- Use Mind Cores with Xu Dog to strengthen the stat causing the most trouble.
- Collect Meditation Spots early for free Sparks without grinding.
- Save rare crafting materials for unowned trophy equipment.
- Match Vessels to their intended bosses because they remove major mechanics.
- Kill each unfamiliar enemy once and confirm its Journal entry.
- Farm random Seeds and equipment while completing other objectives.
The same preparation-first style works throughout Wo Long's trophy route, where the correct tool often matters more than extra levels.
Boss Strategies
Yellow Wind Sage
Obtain Wind Tamer from Fuban before the fight. Activate it during the wind phase, then use the stagger for Immobilize and a charged heavy attack. Dodge through delayed staff swings and avoid being trapped at the arena edge.
Hundred-Eyed Daoist Master
Defeat Duskveil for Weaver's Needle. Save it for the golden-domain phase, where it cancels the boss's strongest advantage. Keep enough mana for Cloud Step or Immobilize after his extended combinations.
Yaksha King
His red blade arcs are wider and later than they appear. Dodge inward through the sweeps, reserve Cloud Step for long sequences, and use a Transformation as an extra health bar near the end.
Erlang, the Sacred Divinity
Plantain Fan rapidly damages Erlang's shield and creates the safest burst window. Save A Pluck of Many, Immobilize, and heavy attacks until that defense breaks. Qi recovery helps reuse the Fan during later shield cycles.
Glitched-Trophy Safety Notes
No trophy is consistently confirmed as broken, but collection trophies can fail to unlock after the final item. The one-autosave system makes backups important.
Disable automatic PS Plus synchronization, close the game, and upload a save before the final Curio, Spirit, Transformation, Seed, formula, weapon, armor piece, or brewing item. Collect it and wait for the trophy plus autosave notification. If nothing unlocks, restore the backup, verify the category, and repeat the pickup.
Make another backup before Enter a New Cycle because NG+ replaces the previous world state.
Hardest Trophies and How to Get Them
Portraits Perfected
Use the Journal as the master tracker. Kill every enemy type, clear every secret area, and prioritize Apramana Bat, Purple Talismans, Daoist Mi, and Scorpionlord before their cutoffs. Compare all four Journal tabs before NG+.
Staffs and Spears and Mantled with Might
Complete Bishui Cave in both cycles and spend rare materials only on unowned recipes. Venomous Armguard is the critical missable, while Bull King's Iron Horns are the main reason the route reaches Chapter 5 again.
Meet the Match
Clear the four secret areas and Chapter 3 Treasure Hunter quest, then visit the Great Pagoda. Use Plantain Fan to control Erlang's shield and commit the strongest spells only after it breaks.
