Here we will go over all of the Black Myth Wukong Yellow Wind Ridge Spirits of which there are 12 spread through the second Chapter in the game, 5 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. The 12 Spirits you can find in Yellow Wind Ridge, their locations, abilities, buffs and the order I recommend going for them are:
Earth Wolf
Location: Yellow Wind Ridge, Sandgate Village, Village Entrace.
Ability: Wild Rapture. Qi Cost: High. Passive Effect: Grants a small amount of additional Focus on hit.
Enter Sandgate Village and go right down the ramp to a large open area following the same path you need to take to go to the Second Prince of Flowing Sands. In this area will be 2 Rat Chiefs who are tough, I recommend taking them both down as they won’t respawn. Rest at the shrine then once you’re back in the same open area go over to your left and jump over the rooftops. In the next are you will be able to fight and defeat the Earth Wolf.
Rat Archer
Location: Yellow Wind Ridge, Sandgate Village, Village Entrance.
Ability: Mighty Release. Qi Cost: High. Passive Effect: Moderately reduces the Stamina cost for Staff Spin.
Once the Earth Wolf boss has been defeated go over to the left wall as you entered and open the gate which will cause a good number of enemies to ambush you. One of these enemies will be the Rat Archer you need to take down to acquire the Spirit.
Second Rat Prince
Highly Missable.
You must defeat the King atop the pillar which can be annoying in order to receive this Spirit. If you defeat the Second Prince of Flowing Sands without defeating the King then you will need to continue your playthrough, roll the credits then go through again on New Game+ to acquire this Spirt.
Location: Yellow Wind Ridge, Sandgate Village, Village Entrance.
Ability: Boulder Crush. Qi Cost: High. Passive Effect: Moderately increases Attack when at low Health.
During the fight against the Second Prince of Flowing Sands you will be pelted with rocks by the King, go over to him and use jumping heavy attacks (press Triangle in the air) to smash him off the pillar. Quickly dispatch the King which will then allow you to collect the Second Rat Prince Spirit. If you defeat the Second Prince of Flowing Sands BEFORE defeating the King you won’t be able to get this Spirit until NG+.
Swift Bat
Location: Yellow Wind Ridge, Sandgate Village, Village of Despair.
Ability: Wing Flapper. Qi Cost: Moderate. Passive Effect: Moderately increases Stamina recovery.
Take the form of Swift Bat. Unfurl your wings and stir up gravel to strike oncoming foes.
Go through the cavern to the left of the Shrine and defeat the First Prince of Flowing Sands. From here go through the cavern to where you will need to go through a small crack in the rock which is on the way to the Tiger Vanguard. Once you’re in the dark room you will be attacked by the Bat who you can defeat to acquire the Spirit.
Poisestone
Location: Yellow Wind Ridge, Fright Cliff, Squall Hideout.
Ability: Strike at Heart. Qi Cost: Low. Passive Effect: Moderately increases the Damage of Jump Light Attacks and reduces the Stamina cost of Sprinting.
Take the form of Poisestone. Leap up and kick the foe in the chest. Even if the kick misses, the following slam on the ground can damage nearby foes with the impact.
Go through the caverns taking the left path from the Squall Hideout Shrine then before going out into the sunlight again stay left following the path up pass the lit torches on your way to the Mother of Stones boss. The Poisestone you need will be coming down the passage from the Mother of Stones area. Defeat it to acquire this Spirit.
