Black Myth: Wukong | How to Unlock the Secret Player Hub in Chapter 3

The Chen Loong Questline is found in Chapter 3, a bit further from the Prince Questline. This questline doesn’t just unlock a player hub that features all the NPCs and vendors in one place, but it also unlocks a secret boss fight, which further unlocks a very strong legendary armor set—one of the best in the game. It also includes a new transformation and armor upgrades.

 You can unlock this in the first half of Chapter 3 by reaching the North Shore of The Bitter Lake. From the shrine, head over beneath the giant turtle's head, where you will see Chen Loong in a body of water for the first time.

At first, he will be hostile immediately. You should prepare for a rather difficult fight. But the Ayer form, assuming that you unlocked it earlier, will make the fight a lot easier. Once defeated, he's going to want to speak with you. He'll tell you about a special item he needs from Xu Dog.

 Xu Dog also helps you with unlocking Celestial Medicine. When you first meet Xu Dog at the start of Chapter 2 from the Village Entrance Waypoint. From this point on, simply head right through a road down into the smaller cave, where you will find Xu Dog for the first time. He will request some help with the electric frog boss in the water below, so simply go ahead, defeat the boss, and then return to him. Once you're done, he will thank you and then proceed to his second location.

That location will be at the cellar beneath the Temple of the Crouching Tiger. For this, you must have defeated the Crouching Tiger boss in the area and activated the statue behind him, opening up a secret tiger passage in the middle of the boss arena.

If you follow this to the end, you will eventually reach that cellar. Once here, simply proceed to the cauldron in the back, and you'll notice that Xu Dog spawns once again, thanking you, unlocking the medicine crafting, and having the dialogue options active.

If you’ve already done all of this, you just need to interact with him and then choose the option to talk to him. He will have some new dialogue about Chen Loong, and at the end of it, he'll provide you with a Specially Made Bone Strengthening Pellet, which you can then bring back to Chen Loong.

Simply head back to the North Shore of the Bitter Lake, where you will find him near this house. Once given the pellets, he will give you a Ruyi Scroll, which is how you unlock and teleport to this new player village, Habia.

I love that they added such a secret player hub in this game. It straight-up gathers all the NPCs that you met along the way up until now, making them easily accessible. And it's not just that—they also feature new mechanics.

For example, Xu Dog gives you medicine every now and then as a reward, and if you speak to Chan Long, he can grow plants for you from the seeds that you collect along the way, so you don’t need to gather them from the environment.
