Here we will go over all of the Black Myth Wukong Flaming Mountains Spirits of which there are 11 spread through the fifth Chapter in the game, 4 are found from bosses and the remaining Spirits are hidden by challenging enemies who more often than not have a decent amount of back up around them to increase the difficulty of the challenge. Spirits are designed to give you 1 or more passive buffs or boosts to your abilities as well as having a given use case which is more often than not combat based to inflict specific, enemy based damage on your opponent(s).
Once an enemy has been defeated you need to go up to the hovering Spirt and press R2 where your Gourd will absorb the Spirit allowing you to use it. If you are killed before you can retrieve a Spirit or just don’t collect it then a new menu will appear at Shrine for Uncollected Spirits.
Flaming Mountains Spirits
The 11 Spirits you can find in the Flaming Mountains, their locations, abilities, buffs and the order I recommend going for them are:
Father of Stones
Location: Flaming Mountains, Woods of Ember, Height of Ember.
Ability: Brute Force. Qi Cost: High. Passive Effect: Slightly increases Critical Hit Chance and Critical Damage.
The Father of Stones boss will jump over the gate blocking your path through the Flaming Mountains and is one of the easier bosses in the game. Defeat it then absorb the Father of Stones Spirit.
Charface
Location: Flaming Mountains, Woods of Ember, Height of Ember.
Ability: Magma Forged. Qi Cost: Moderate. Passive Effect: Moderately increases charging speed.
Enter the caverns after defeating the Father of Stones boss then follow the path where you will come across a Charface amongst a few self-immolating enemies. Defeat it whilst avoiding the explosions then absorb the Charface Spirit.
Turtle Treasure
Location: Flaming Mountains, Furnace Valley, Valley Entrance.
Ability: Skyward. Qi Cost: High. Passive Effect: Moderately increases Damage dealt by heavy Attacks that cost 3 or 4 Focus Points.
Before you go after the Turtle Treasure Spirit you will firstly need to ensure you have either the Fireproof Mantle Vessel and or the Xiang River Goddess Gourd as you need to head down the path from the Valley Entrance shrine then take a right doubling back on yourself along the lava. At the end of the lava flow will be the Turtle Treasure Spirit. Defeat it then absorb the Spirit.
Flint Chief
Location: Flaming Mountains, Furnace Valley, Valley Entrance.
Ability: Solid Stance. Qi Cost: High. Passive Effect: Slightly increases Four Banes Resistance.
The Flint Chief Spirit will drop from the optional Flint Chief boss who can be found by taking a left onto the lava when you pass the first Earth Rakshasa so ensure you have either the Fireproof Mantle Vessel and or the Xiang River Goddess Gourd equipped to negate the lava damage then defeat the Flint Chief boss whose Spirit can then be absorbed.
Earth Rakshasa
Location: Flaming Mountains, Furnace Valley, Valley Entrance.
Ability: Bulwark Shield. Qi Cost: High. Passive Effect: Moderately increases Damage Resistance for a short duration after being hit.
Follow the path from the Valley Entrance shrine up and pass the 2 Earth Rakshasa enemies. Keep looking left as you go up the hill where you can take a left through an opening in the rocks. Defeat the Flamling who spawns then take down the fairly powerful Earth Rakshasa before absorbing its Spirit.
Cloudy Mist, Misty Cloud
Location: Flaming Mountains, Furnace Valley, Valley Entrance.
Ability: Torch Aloft. Qi Cost: High. Passive Effect: Moderately reduces the Mana cost of Cloud Step.
The Cloudy Mist, Misty Cloud Spirit will drop from the Cloudy Mist, Misty Cloud boss who are mandatory bosses you need to bring down at the same time.
Nine-Capped Lingzhi Guai
Location: Flaming Mountains, Field of Fire, Ashen Pass III.
Ability: Emergence. Qi Cost: High. Passive Effect: Moderately reduces the Mana cost of Mysticism Spells.
Rest at the Ashen Pass III shrine then go into the area behind the shrine and try to harvest the Nine-Capped Lingzhi Mushroom which spawns the Nine-Capped Lingzhi Guai boss, a surprisingly challenging Venom based boss who covers you in mushrooms. Defeat it then absorb the Nine-Capped Lingzhi Guai Spirit.
Top Takes Bottom, Bottom Takes Top
Location: Flaming Mountains, Furnace Valley, The Emerald Hall.
Ability: Two in One. Qi Cost: High. Passive Effect: Significantly increases Defence, but moderately reduces Attack.
As you progress round the Ashen Pass III region you will need to avoid a ball which you can do by entering the cut outs either side of the path. Once at the end of the challenge, Zhu Bajie will knock the ball down into the abyss. Fast travel back to the Emerald Hall shrine then follow the path up to where the first 2 enemies are then then look left to see the ball embedded into the rock. Go up to the ball and absorb the Top Takes Bottom, Bottom Takes Spirit.
Flint Vanguard
Location: Flaming Mountains, Field of Fire, Furnace Valley Crater.
Ability: Flaming Flint. Qi Cost: High. Passive Effect: Moderately increases Scorch Damage and Burn Resistance.
Progress through the story then as per the Chapter 5 walkthrough defeat the Red Boy boss then lose to the Yaksha King boss, this will then give you access to a hidden area previously inaccessible. You can run back down the slope from the Furnace Valley Crater shrine then take a left out into an open area where one of the first enemies you come to will be the optional Flint Vanguard boss. Defeat the boss then absorb the Flint Vanguard Spirit once all enemies in the local area are defeated.
Mother of Flamlings
Location: Flaming Mountains, Field of Fire, Furnace Valley Crater.
Ability: Mother of Flamlings. Qi Cost: High. Passive Effect: Moderately reduces Cooldown for all Spells.
Before you can attempt this fight you will firstly need to acquire 4 Flame Ore which either drop from Flamlings or can be purchased from the Furnace Valley Crater shrine. Either way, once you have 4 Flame Ore go down the hill pass the area where you fought the optional Flint Vanguard boss then look to your left when you’re near the bottom of the hill. You will see a glowing patch of rock which you can offer the 4 Flame Ore to which then spawns the optional Mother of Flamlings boss who once defeated will allow you to absorb its Spirit.
Bull Governor
Location: Flaming Mountains, Bishui Cave, Cave Depths.
Ability: Bull Strength. Qi Cost: High. Passive Effect: Moderately increases Scorch Damage.
The Bull Governor should be the final Spirit you need in the game and it can be found in the Bishui Caves which serves as the secret area for the Flaming Mounts accessible once the Rusty Carts quest has been completed and the Pale-Axe Stalwart has passed away. Full details can be found in the Chapter 5 walkthrough if you are unsure about any of the steps. Work through to the Cave Depths shrine then take out the enclave of Bull Soldiers before bringing the Bull Governor down whose Spirit can then be absorbed.
