How to Get the Sterness of Stone in Black Myth: Wukong
The Sterness of Stone is hidden away in the Fright Cliffs area. To get your hands on it you’ll need to defeat a tough boss. Here’s how to find and use this important item:
Locating the Stone Vanguard
Your first step is to make your way to the Rockrest Flat Shrine. If you’re not sure where that is head back to the Valley of Despair Keeper’s Shrine in Sandgate Village.
Look for a wooden rope bridge on the opposite side of the arena. Cross it and follow the path through the gate. You’ll come across some enemies so be ready for a fight.
Keep going until you reach the Squall Hideout Shrine. From there you can go left or right – both paths lead to Rockcrest Flat Shrine. Once there look past the shrine’s rock and you’ll spot a gate in the distance. That’s where you need to go.
Defeating the Stone Vanguard
Passing through the gate brings you to an arena where you’ll face the Stone Vanguard. This massive rock monster is no pushover. It has a large health pool and powerful area-of-effect attacks. Watch out for its ability to summon explosive rock minions too.
The good news is that the Stone Vanguard’s attacks are fairly easy to dodge if you get the timing right. Use the Cloud Step Spell (which you should have picked up from the Black Wind King) to evade attacks and create openings for counterattacks.
Claiming the Sterness of Stone
Once you’ve defeated the Stone Vanguard it will drop the Sterness of Stone. Congratulations – you’ve got your hands on a crucial item for Chapter 2!
How to Use the Sterness of Stone in Black Myth: Wukong
The Sterness of Stone is a key item used alongside the Keeness of Tiger to unlock shortcuts in Chapter 2. Here’s where you can use these keys:
- Behind the arena in Valley of Despair Shrine – Sandgate Village
- In front of the shrine at Windrest Hamlet – Yellow Wind Formation
- Behind the altar in Temple Entrance – Crouching Tiger Temple
Remember you’ll need both the Sterness of Stone and the Keeness of Tiger to open these doors. You can get the Keeness of Tiger by defeating another boss – the Tiger Vanguard – at the Crouching Tiger Temple.
Conclusion
The Sterness of Stone is more than just a collectible. It’s a mandatory item for progressing through Chapter 2. Without it, you won’t be able to access certain areas or move forward in your quest to face the Yellow Wind Sage.
So don’t forget to grab this crucial item as you explore the expanded world of Black Myth: Wukong’s second chapter. It might take a tough boss fight to get it but the Sterness of Stone is well worth the effort. Happy hunting!
