How to Complete the Venom Daoist Quest in Black Myth: Wukong

The Venom Daoist is a hidden boss that appears twice in Chapter 4. You’ll need to defeat him in both locations to access the Purple Cloud Mountain. Here’s how to track him down:

First Venom Daoist Encounter: Webbed Hollow

Your first fight with the Venom Daoist takes place in an area called the Pool of Shattered Jade. Follow these steps to get there:

1. Start at the Upper Hollow shrine
2. Look for a platform with spider sacs
3. Find a ledge to drop down from
4. Go through the tunnel avoiding enemies and spider sacs
5. At the end, you’ll see scaffolding leading to Middle Hollow
6. Instead of going down look for a cliffside area
7. You’ll find the Pool of Shattered Jade shrine nearby

Once you’re at the Pool of Shattered Jade look for a yard full of spider sacs. In the center, you’ll see a large cocoon called Old Cocoon. Hit it to make the Venom Daoist appear.

This first fight isn’t too tough. The boss uses fast melee attacks and dashes around a lot. Beat him and he’ll run away promising to show his “true power” next time.

Second Venom Daoist Encounter: Temple of Yellow Flowers

The Venom Daoist doesn’t tell you where he’s going next. Keep playing through Chapter 4 normally until you reach the Temple of Yellow Flowers. Here’s how to find him:

1. Go to the Court of Illumination shrine
2. Turn around and look for a tunnel
3. Follow it to an open area
4. Take the downward path on your left
5. Enter the dark cavern at the end

The second fight is much harder. The Venom Daoist keeps his old moves but gets new ones too. Watch out for faster attacks and unpredictable combos. The dark cave makes it hard to see so try to stay near the edges.

After beating the Venom Daoist he’ll show you a drawing on the cavern wall. Interact with it to enter Purple Cloud Mountain. This secret area has lots to explore:

• Meet the Snake Lady who tells you to bring Antimiasma Powder
• Find spirit forms like Verdant Glow and Snake Herbalist
• Discover a Meditation Spot near the Bounds of Deity’s Abode shrine
• Fight the Scorpionlord to get the Deathstinger (used for crafting armor)
• Collect curios like the Celestial Registry Tablet and Gold Sun Crow

Daoist Mi’s Quest

At Petalfall Hamlet you’ll meet Daoist Mi. He asks for help with his corrupted fellow priests.

Be careful – after giving him the Violet Hail item he turns hostile. Defeat him to learn the Violet Hail spell from the Snake Lady.

Final Boss: The Duskveil

The last challenge in Purple Cloud Mountain is the Duskveil boss at Cloudnest Peak. It’s a two-phase fight against a calf-buzzard hybrid. Phase one is straightforward, but watch out for cursed blood attacks in phase two.

Beating the Duskveil completes the Chapter 4 secret area. You’ll get the following rewards:

• Weaver’s Needle Vessel (a homing projectile weapon)
• Iron-Tough armor set materials
• Double-Combed Rooster Blood soak (removes poison and boosts stats)

That’s everything you need to know about the Venom Daoist quest in Black Myth Wukong.

Finding this hidden boss twice unlocks a secret area full of unique encounters and valuable loot. Good luck exploring Purple Cloud Mountain in Black Myth: Wukong!
