How to Find Loong Scales & Enter Waterfalls in Black Myth Wukong

Black Myth: Wukong has secrets hiding at every turn. The Loong Scales is a key item in unlocking some of the most challenging and rewarding boss fights in Black Myth Wukong, not to mention the most obviously overlooked. This guide will walk you through how to obtain the Loong Scales and where to use them to access three epic dragon boss encounters.

How to Get Loong Scales in Black Myth Wukong

The Loong Scales are found within the First Prince of Flowing Sands’ boss arena in Sandgate Village. To reach the arena, enter the cave beside the Valley of Despair Keeper’s Shrine. Once inside, defeat the First Prince.

After defeating the boss, you can obtain the Loong Scales in one of three ways:

• If you are lucky, the First Prince may crash into the arena wall during the fight, creating a crack that you can slip through to collect the scales.
• Alternatively, you can use the Wandering Wight Spirit Skill to break the wall and access the scales. However, this skill may not be available if you missed the Wandering Wight encounter in Chapter 1. Check our full list of all spirit locations.

• Another option is to use the Azure Dust Transformation Spell. To obtain this spell, complete the Man-in-Stone quest by defeating the Mother of Stones and retrieving the Stone Essence. After defeating the Man-in-Stone, you will receive the Azure Dust spell. Use the spell’s outro attack to crack the wall and obtain the Loong Scales.

Where to Use Loong Scales

Once you have obtained the Loong Scales, you can use them to access three hidden dragon boss fights and pass through some waterfalls:

• Red Loong: Found in the Forest of Wolves, to the left of the ‘Outside the Forest’ Keeper’s Shrine. Head left and look for a waterfall where you can now interact with it and reveal a secret door.

• Black Loong: Located in Yellow Wind Ridge, near the Rockrest Flat Keeper’s Shrine. Head right and find a sandy waterfall to stop it and enter a new area with the Black Loong.

• Cyan Loong: Defeating Black Loong Boss will activate the Cyan Loong statue on Bitter Lake, unlocking access to the Cyan Loong fight. Look for a waterfall near the Bitter Lake area at Turtle Island in The New West to use the Loong Scales and access the Cyan Loong boss battle.

These boss fights are incredibly challenging and offer Loong Pearls and new weapon crafting materials as rewards for your efforts. Be prepared for a tough battle, but the sense of accomplishment upon defeating these powerful dragons is unmatched.
