Black Myth Wukong Drunken Boar

In Black Myth: Wukong, one of the most intriguing and layered side quests is tied to the Drunken Boar, a pig-like yaoguai encountered in Chapter 2 near Fright Cliff. This questchain blends exploration, item gathering, and boss fights with lore-rich storytelling and secret rewards. When completed correctly, players can access a secret area known as the Kingdom of Sahali and challenge two formidable bosses. Understanding the precise steps and triggers is key to unlocking this hidden content.

Where to Find the Drunken Boar

The Drunken Boar first appears just past the Rockrest Flat Shrine in Fright Cliff during Chapter 2. Players walking north from the shrine will reach a small gate and an open area populated by a boar sitting on the ground. Interact with it to trigger the first stage of the quest.

Initial Interaction

Talking to the boar initiates a brief cutscene. He expresses a need to sober up, launching the search for the Sobering Stone. At this point, the Drunken Boar will remain in this location until the required item is delivered.

Collect the Sobering Stone

Two possible Sobering Stone sources exist:

• Windrest Bridge, Yellow Wind Formation: Past the Crouching Tiger Temple, break a glowing jar in a small alcove.
• Man‘in‘Stone merchant: Purchase it (around 6480 Will) after completing the Mother-in-Stone boss quest.

Once you have the stone, return to the boar near the shrine and give it to him. He will then announce hunger and express a desire for Jade Lotus.

Obtain and Provide Jade Lotus

After sobering the boar, he relocates to the Crouching Tiger Temple area. Head to the Tiger Temple Shrine, then take the right-hand path before entering the boss arena. Here, the boar waits and asks specifically for a Jade Lotus.

• Lotuses can be gathered near bodies of water, especially around Chapter 1 areas.
• They are also sometimes stocked by shrine vendors.

Once given, the boar thanks you and mentions a gold coin tied to his brother, prompting you to uncover that next piece.

Retrieve the Arhat Gold Piece

Your next task is to defeat the First Prince of Flowing Sands, a boss located near the Valley of Despair Shrine. After claiming the Arhat Gold Piece dropped by him, return to the boar’s original spot by Rockrest Flat.

Triggering the Boss Fight

Giving the gold piece to the boar is critical. If dialogue doesn’t advance, try resting at a nearby shrine or restarting the game. Reddit and Steam forums confirm this resolves soft-lock issues.

Fight the Yellow‘Robed Squire

Once you give him the gold, the boar transforms or summons the Yellow‘Robed Squire. A mini-boss battle ensues. This agile warthog-man hybrid uses fast melee and sand-based attacks.

Tips for the Encounter

• Lock-on is crucial to avoid missing attacks during evasive dashes.
• Tank hits when necessary and counterattack quickly.
• Use spells like Azure Dust or Immobilize to stagger and create openings.

After defeating the Squire, you’re granted the Snout Mask and access to the Kingdom of Sahali secret area.

Enter the Kingdom of Sahali

Interact with the sealed door near the Squire’s location to proceed. You’ll enter the ancient realm, unlock two shrine checkpoints, and face two boss challenges:

• Tiger Vanguard: A variant of the Chapter 2 miniboss; clearing it grants the Tiger Tally Curio.
• Fuban: A giant beetle boss fought alongside the past Yellow Wind Sage; victory grants the Wind Tamer Vessel and Sky-Piercing Horn materials.

Rewards and Lore Significance

The Drunken Boar quest is more than just a side challenge. The Snout Mask provides cosmetic flair, while the Wind Tamer Vessel enhances defensive capabilities, especially useful in later boss fights. Defeating Fuban deepens the game’s mythological storytelling and rewards players with eye-catching gear and rare crafting items.

Why This Quest Matters

• Uncovers hidden lore tied to the Yellow Wind Sage and the ancient Sahali kingdom.
• Grants powerful items to aid both early players and seasoned vets.
• Offers a richly layered experience with exploration, puzzle-solving, dialogue, and combat.

Common Quest Glitches and Fixes

Players have reported soft-locks where the boar repeats lines or won’t turn hostile. Community posts suggest two main fixes:

• Rest at a shrine near Rockrest Flat or restart the game entirely.
• Ensure the Arhat Gold Piece is properly obtained after beating the First Prince.

These simple steps usually restore quest progression.

The Black Myth: Wukong Drunken Boar quest offers one of the most memorable mini-adventures in Chapter 2.
