Ringing the bell in Black Myth Wukong doesn’t do anything -at first.There’s actually three bells spread around the Black Wind Mountain area, and while each of them have no effect individually,ringing all three unlocks a new area - and a new boss encounter.

Ringing the third bellautomatically teleports you to a secret area called the Ancient Guanyin Temple,but don’t worry - there’ll be a checkpoint here you can use to fast travel to-and-from the Temple after this point.

More notably, the Ancient Guanyin Temple has a courtyard of resources that players can pillage, followed by a new boss calledElder Jinchi.Jinchi is a challenging encounter, and - assuming you’re not coming back to this area later on - probably the toughest boss that players have encountered so far. Still, if you can beat Jinchi, you’ll get theFireproof Mantleafterwards - a powerful Vessel that can be triggered for Focus regen and fire immunity.

As mentioned, there are three bells that players have to ring in Black Myth Wukong, all found in Chapter 1 (the Black Wind Mountain). Here are all of their locations:

Whatever order you do them, ringing the final bell will take you to Jinchi. If you missed them the first time around, use the fast travel system to head back to any of the Checkpoints mentioned above and work from there.
