PS5
Black Myth: Wukong needs attention to the consequences of progression rather than only its main bosses. Character quests, optional-opponent rewards and equipment collections can change after certain milestones. The most efficient preparation is checking what the next important victory may make unavailable. This roadmap organises the first journey, pre-ending cleanup and New Game+, distinguishing list objectives from collections that only appear complete because the story has ended.
Base-game platinum roadmap. Expansions and additional trophy groups are separate from the main route.
- Required difficulty: The game has no difficulty selection to bypass required fights.
- Missable trophies: Quests, spirits and some rewards can be missed within an individual cycle.
- Online: The base list is single-player, without multiplayer trophies.
Finish conversations before changing chapters
When meeting a recurring character, exhaust conversations and note where the encounter occurred. Urge Unfulfilled and Always Accompanied are not replaced by merely completing chapters. Before fighting a boss that closes a region, compare unresolved characters against your checklist.
- Review recurring characters before the next chapter transition.
Protect spirits and optional-boss rewards
Do not defeat a region’s concluding boss before checking outstanding alternatives. The roadmap flags risks involving Wandering Wight, Daoist Mi and several Chapter Four rewards. The useful question is not only whether you can return to the area, but whether the opponent and reward will still be available.
- Review optional encounters before closing the area.
Track items rather than power alone
Guardian of Gear, Mantled with Might and Staffs and Spears concern different collections. Do not dismiss an item as useless merely because it does not improve your build: it may complete a category. Track missing materials and pieces, then choose the next reward without confusing your equipped set with the full required collection.
- Separate weapons, armour and equipped sets in your checks.
Organise seeds, formulas and curios by category
Seeds to Sow, Page Preserver and A Curious Collection do not share one global counter. Keep separate checklists and update the relevant one when obtaining an item. Before farming a drop, verify that it is actually the missing entry instead of fighting an opponent that does not contribute to the requirement.
- Identify the missing entry before starting a farm.
Choose cleanup before beginning a new cycle
After the ending, do not automatically begin a new journey if your current world still needs review. The continue option lets you check what remains available, but does not restore every missed encounter. Compare cycle mistakes with collections still recoverable before deciding what to postpone to New Game+.
- Review the current world before confirming a new journey.
Enter New Game+ with a precise list
The route needs content obtained through another cycle, so do not treat it as a simple story replay. Bring a list of outstanding characters, spirits and items and consult it before their cutoff points. This prevents repeating the very decision that already cost a reward during the first journey.
- Record first-cycle mistakes before starting New Game+.
