Mount Mei is the endgame secret area — and the hardest region to unlock in Black Myth: Wukong, with prerequisites stretching across five chapters. In return, its presentation and rewards are top-tier: a weapon and a transformation, both graduation-grade.
Spoiler-free promise: unlock conditions and steps only — nothing about what happens inside Mount Mei.

The Melon Field questline (Chapter 3)
The questgiver is the Green-Capped Martialist; the whole chain plays out inside Chapter 3:
- Start: teleport to the North Shore of the Bitter Lake shrine and find him nearby. Kill the monsters around him, then talk until the dialogue loops;
- Teleport to the Forest of Felicity and equip the Ring of Fire spell;
- Find him again and cast Ring of Fire in front of him to continue the conversation;
- When he starts repeating "melon field", don't leave yet: unlock the shrine ahead. At the far end of that area, among the ginseng plants, the red one is the hidden Old Ginseng Guai boss — it drops a armor piece and a millennium-ginseng seed;
- Teleport back to the Forest of Felicity and head to the Melon Field;
- A boss fight triggers on arrival; win, watch the cutscene, and receive the Spell Binder spell.
Entering Mount Mei
With all three vessels, the Melon Field questline, and Bishui Cave complete, head to the central tower — standing in the middle triggers the cutscene into Mount Mei.
Recommended order
- During Chapters 1, 2, and 4, unlock each secret area alongside the main story and collect the three vessels;
- Mid-Chapter 3, finish the Melon Field questline;
- In Chapter 5, complete Bishui Cave;
- Before the finale, visit the tower and claim Mount Mei's graduation rewards.
