Chapter 3 of Black Myth Wukong can feel like being dropped into a snow globe that someone keeps shaking. One moment you are trudging across a frozen ridge, the next a boss is turning your health bar into confetti. That is why I have grown weirdly attached to the Meditation Spots scattered around the region. They are tiny amber pauses in a churning river: you sit, you breathe, and you earn a skill point for the effort. Chapter 3 has five of these spots, and since each one is essentially a free skill point, hunting them down is like finding loose coins in a blizzard — small on their own, but they add up fast. Below, I will walk through all five Chapter 3 Meditation Spots in Black Myth Wukong and the exact routes I used to reach them.
Quick Overview of Chapter 3 Meditation Spots
| # | Meditation Spot | Nearest Landmark | Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Slanted Tree Platform | Mirrormere Shrine | Stay off the Frozen Lake |
| 2 | Golden Pot Cave | Keeper's Shrine | Break the fence behind the pot |
| 3 | Buddha Statue Front | Shrine path | Easiest one in Chapter 3 |
| 4 | Post-Non-White Boss | Main story route | Use it before Valley of Ecstasy |
| 5 | Thunderclap Right Temple | Thunderclap Temple | Go to the right-side smaller temple |
1. Mirrormere Slanted Tree Meditation Spot
Fast travel to the Shrine in Snowhill Path's Mirrormere. From there, head straight until you see the Frozen Lake. This is where a lot of players get pulled onto the ice, but do not venture onto the lake. Instead, look for a giant slanted tree near the edge. The Meditation Spot is tucked right underneath it on a small platform made of wooden planks. I missed this one on my first run because the tree blends into the snowy background like a gray thread on a white sleeve, so keep your eyes moving.
2. Keeper's Shrine Golden Pot Cave Meditation Spot
From this Keeper's Shrine, climb the broken stairs and follow the cave until you find an opening on your right. Keep following the path until you come across a golden pot. It looks decorative at first, but it is actually a signpost for one of the most hidden Meditation Spots in Black Myth Wukong. Break the fence behind the pot and walk to the end of the path. The whole route feels like finding a secret pocket sewn into the mountain. Once you reach the end, the Meditation Spot will be waiting for you.
3. Buddha Statue by the Shrine Meditation Spot
This is probably the easiest Meditation Spot in Chapter 3. From the shrine, head straight until you see a Buddha statue on your left. The spot is sitting right in front of the statue. There is no complicated path or hidden trigger here. If you are only going to grab one spot quickly before a boss, this is the one I would recommend.
4. Main Story Path After Non-White Boss
This Meditation Spot is tied to the main story route. It unlocks after you defeat the Non-White boss. The key thing here is timing. Make sure you use the Meditation Spot before jumping to Valley of Ecstasy. If you skip it and move on too quickly, you will have to backtrack through a chunk of Chapter 3 just to grab the skill point. I learned this the hard way, and retracing those snowy paths felt like rereading a chapter I had already finished.
5. Thunderclap Temple Right Small Temple Meditation Spot
At the Thunderclap Temple, you will see the main hall with two smaller temples beside it. Go to the smaller temple on the right. Inside, you will find the last Meditation Spot in Chapter 3 in front of a statue of Buddha. It is a calm finish to the chapter, especially after all the chaos leading up to the temple. The whole area feels quieter, as if the game is finally letting you exhale.
Final Tips
Each of these Meditation Spots grants one skill point, so all five together give you a meaningful boost for the bosses ahead. I treat them like compass needles: individually they point you toward a small reward, but together they help steer your entire build. If you have not unlocked a particular shrine yet, push the main route a little further and then double back. Chapter 3 is generous with fast travel, so backtracking is usually less painful than it seems. Just remember to grab the Non-White boss spot before Valley of Ecstasy, and you will leave Chapter 3 with five extra skill points and a much quieter mind.
