In Black Myth Wukong, the Journal acts as a 100% Completion Tracker. It lists all Yaoguai enemies and bosses you have encountered. Bosses are dividend into Chiefs for minibosses, and Kings for main bosses. Lesser Yaoguais are the other non-boss mobs. Completing all Journal portraits unlocks the Portraits Perfected trophy & achievement. It’s recommended to kill one of each enemy to make sure it tracks properly (for them to appear in the journal it’s enough to walk past the enemy).

This guide lists the location of every single enemy that appears in the Journal. There are even more enemies that don’t appear in the Journal, those aren’t needed.

It’s recommended to play through the story first, then compare what you are missing. The order here is the same as in-game AFTER finishing the story (order will be different during the story).

You can fast travel between chapters at any time from Keeper’s Shrines. There’s still free-roam after the story. After the endboss you are put back in the Title Screen, here choose to Continue, it will spawn you before the final boss. You can still revisit all places from this point and clean up what you missed. Just don’t “Enter a New Cycle” in the Title Screen as this starts New Game and overwrites your save with no way back.

IMPORTANT: This page lists everything in the same order as the in-game journal AFTER finishing the story (after Chapter 6). The numbering of some entries changes throughout the story, especially for characters. Each chapter adds new entries which changes the order. It’s recommended to use this list after the story to compare against your Journal and clean up missing entries from there.

45. Mother of Flamlings – Chapter 5 > Field of Fire > Fallen Furnace Crater: Just down the path from Flint Vanguard boss. From Fallen Furnace Crater turn around, backtrack down the path where the big ball was rolling earlier. Halfway down the path, on the left, the rolling ball will have destroyed a barrier. You can now go down the left, follow that new path to reach Flint Vanguard boss. After him go down further until you see a red glowing magma spot on the floor. You can deliver 4 Flame More to summon the Mother of Flamlings from this spot. If you die you must deliver it 4 Flame Ore again. Flame Ore is dropped by the enemies in the surrounding enemies such as the worms shooting fire at you.

47. Son of Stones – Chapter 6 > Foothills > Verdant Path: After you unlock the spell to fly on a cloud, fly straight forward to the cliffs at the end of the area past the big lake. On the cliff sits a big monster, its head is glowing green which makes it easy to see from afar, it’s this boss.
48. Poison Chief – Chapter 6 > Foothills > Verdant Path: After you unlock the spell to fly on a cloud, stay on the upper plateau and fly left until you reach a small pond area with a quadratic rock sitting on a meadow. Dismount the cloud and go near the rock, it’s a boss. Looks like a rock that throws poison balls after you go near it (initially just looks like a quadratic rock). This is on the left/west of the upper plateau, BEFORE flying down to the big lake area.
49. Water-Wood Beast – Chapter 6 > Foothills > Verdant Path: After you unlock the spell to fly on a cloud, you find green hippos throughout the big lake at the bottom of the area. The regular version also gets logged as a chief. But the proper boss version is found in the back left corner of the lower lake area (the side from where you come from Verdant Path, not the far corner in the distance). Fly to the left/west of the area and you will see a disturbance in the water, the boss pops out of there.
50. ??? – MISSING (Chapter 6?)
51. Lang-Baw-Baw – Chapter 6 > Foothills > Verdant Path: After you unlock the spell to fly on a cloud, fly down to the big lake in the lower area. Then fly to the back right corner (the corner closest to the cliff where you started, not the corner at other end of lake). This frog boss will spawn there. Looks like a brown area in corner of the lake. Dismount from the cloud to see the boss.
52. Gold Armored Rhino – Chapter 6 > Foothills > Rhino Watch Slope: After you unlock the spell to fly on a cloud, stay on the upper plateau and fly right until you reach the edge of the area, looks like a brown area without trees. When you approach you automatically get a cutscene, this is one of the mandatory story bosses that you must defeat to collect all armor pieces, so can’t miss him. This is BEFORE flying down to the big lake area. It looks like a big rhino with gold armor on its back, has a lot of health.
53. Cloudtreading Deer – Chapter 6 > Foothills > Deer Sight Forest: after unlocking the flying cloud, fly forward over the big lake and to the right, where you see red trees.
54. Feng-Tail General – Chapter 6 > Foothills > Mantis-Catching Swamp: After you unlock the spell to fly on a cloud, you can find a big grasshopper jumping through the lake area. Fly to its head with the cloud, then dismount and press / to hold on to its feelers. You need enough stamina to keep holding on until it stops jumping, I had 350 stamina when I did it. After it stops jumping, hold onto it again to burn its feelers. For this you need high burn resistance and a lot of health. I had 765 health and over 50 burn resistance (you can visit Xu Dog at the Chapter 2 shrine “Cellar” to reset your Celestial Blessings and redistribute your Mind Cores to Burn Resistance & Health). You can also consume the medicine “Body-Cooling Powder” to increase burn resistance for a short duration. There is no actual boss fight here, it’s just a test that you have enough health & burn resistance to qualify for the remaining bosses.
55. Emerald-Armed Mantis – Chapter 6 > Foothills > Mantis-Catching Swamp: After you unlock the spell to fly on a cloud, fly to the top left corner of the lower lake area. There is a big yellow tree. When you approach you get a cutscene that triggers this boss fight. If it doesn’t spawn, make sure you defeated the other 3 story bosses in the area for their mythical armor pieces (Gold Armored Rhino, Cloudtreading Deer, Feng-Tail General).
