How to get the Sterness of Stone and Keeness of Tiger in Black Myth: Wukong

Once you hit Chapter 2 of Black Myth: Wukong, you’re going to have to find the Sterness of Stone and Keeness of Tiger key items to progress toward the final boss. With this area being much more open compared to Chapter 1, you may get lost on where to find them.

Here’s what you need to do to get these two important items.

How to get the Sterness of Stone in Black Myth: Wukong

The Sterness of Stone is the first key item you’ll get to fight the Yellow Wind Sage. You can obtain this item after defeating the Stone Vanguard boss. This is a mandatory fight, so there is no way you can miss this item.

Progress normally through the story until you come across the Crouching Tiger Temple. This is where you’ll have to get the next item of the set.

How to get the Keeness of Tiger in Black Myth: Wukong

The Keeness of Tiger is also another unmissable item as you progress through Chapter 2 of Black Myth: Wukong. You’ll earn this item after defeating the Tiger Vanguard boss. This will be a tough fight, but doing so is necessary to get through in order to have both items in possession. 

What to do with the Keeness of Tiger and Sterness of Stone

Once you have both items in your inventory, you will then have to put them at the statue behind where the Tiger was feasting. It’ll open up its mouth and drain all the blood that was filling up that pool area. 

You can enter that mouth, taking a flight of stairs downward to the intended final area of Chapter 2. Taking this route will eventually lead you to the Cellar Shrine where you will also unlock the medicine crafting mechanic. 

It’ll be useful leading up to the final boss of this chapter because there is a noticeable spike in difficulty when fighting him.
