Black Myth: Wukong features a ton of secret areas and optional encounters, making up the overall 50+ hour campaign, which also includes the Wandering Wight – one of the game’s earlier mini bosses.
This particular boss can be encountered in the very first region of the game, and is no pushover – being able to easily take out large chunks of your HP if you remain careless during the encounter.
Where to find the Wandering Wight
The Wandering Wight can be found within the ‘Forest of the Wolves’ in Black Myth Wukong, located near the shrine marked as ‘Outside the Forest’.This is technically in the starter section of the game, and requires players to be atleast Level 12 in order to have a generally easier time dealing with the boss.
There will be quite a few low-level enemies to deal with along the way, who can be safely ignored.
