It's 2026, and Black Myth: Wukong still has me hooked like a monkey on a peach tree. Two years after release, I'm still discovering new corners of this gorgeous nightmare, and honestly? The meditation spots remain one of the most underrated treasures in the game. If you're a completionist like me, or just need to snag that sweet, sweet Spark for your build, you're going to want to track down all 24 of these glowing sanctuaries.

Why Bother with Meditation Spots?

Look, I get it. You've got a staff, a bunch of angry yaoguai, and a serious chip on your shoulder. But trust me, stopping to smell the incense can literally change your gameplay. Every time you interact with a meditation spot (those golden-glowing objects tucked away in the environment), you trigger a serene cutscene of the area and—bam—you instantly gain a Spark. That's a skill point, my friend! Free talent juice. There are 24 of them scattered across the five main chapters, and finding them all unlocks the “Scenic Seeker” achievement, which is basically the game's way of saying, “You have finally touched grass.”

You can track your progress in the Journal page under the meditation tab, so don't worry about taking manual notes. Now, let me walk you through every single spot, from the sunny bamboo groves to the nightmare spider caves. I'll even throw in some tips I wish I'd known before spending hours lost in the Fright Cliff.

Chapter 1: Black Wind Mountain – And So It Begins

Forest of Wolves: Front Hills (Outside the Forest)

This is likely your first taste of tranquility. After beating the Bullguard but before the next shrine, head up the sloping path. It's hard to miss, and honestly, the contrast between the earlier carnage and this quiet cliffside moment sets the tone for the whole game.

Bamboo Grove: Back Hills

Just past Guanyin Temple, take the sloping path down and look left for a small cave opening. Inside you'll find not only the meditation spot but also a horse NPC chilling there. I love how this guy just hangs out in caves, no big deal.

Bamboo Grove: Marsh of White Mist

After the Whiteclad Noble boss fight (pain, I know), go through the small cave and check the vista to your left. There's a Celestial Taiyi Pill upgrade right next to it, which is a lovely two-for-one deal.

Chapter 2: Yellow Wind Ridge – Sand, Boars, and Big Cats

Sandgate Village: Village Entrance

This spot overlooks the Lang-Li-Guhh-Baw frog boss. I love how it's just sitting up there, completely unbothered by the chaos below. Climb up the rocky area and enjoy the view before you drop down to get spat on.

Fright Cliff: Rockcrest Flat

Keep going straight past the Rockcrest Flat shrine. In the open area, you'll spot the Drunk Boar NPC. Behind him, next to a gnarled tree, is the meditation spot. This guy starts a whole secret area quest, so chat him up while you're here!

Fright Cliff: Rock Crash Platform

After the Stone Vanguard, descend the steps and you'll see the spot right on the cliff's edge. It's appropriately dramatic after that arena.

Crouching Tiger Temple: Temple Entrance

Immediately to your left before the Tiger Vanguard boss fight. Use this moment of calm to mentally prepare yourself for the pain.

Crouching Tiger Temple: Cellar

When you reach the cellar, go right instead of left (left takes you to the chapter's final boss). The meditation spot is here, together with another encounter with the hermit NPC, standing in front of some Buddha statues. It's a really atmospheric corner.

Kingdom of Sahali: Sandgate Bound

This is inside the Chapter 2 secret area (the Kingdom of Sahali). On a ridge overlooking that endless desert, you'll find this spot. The golden dunes look stunning in the cutscene.

Chapter 3: The New West – Snow, Ice, and Pagodas

Snowhill Path: Mirrormere

Right next to the huge tree before the frozen lake. I remember arriving here after that crazy turtle ride and just breathing for a second.

Bitter Lake: Precept Corridor

At Bitter Lake, take the middle path into the tunnel system. The spot is near the Precept Corridor waypoint, and the Enhanced Tiger Subduing Pellets formula is also nearby. Don't sleep on those pellets.

Valley of Ecstasy: Mindfulness Cliff

You can only interact with this spot after completing the second boss encounter against Non-White, which also unlocks a new spirit skill. So don't panic if it's not active at first.

Pagoda Realm: Outside the Wheel

This one is sneaky. Continue along the cave and ravine until you see a Celestial Medicine container. Behind it, there's a bamboo fence you can actually destroy. Inside that chamber, you'll fight a Monk from the Sea elite. Defeat him to claim the meditation spot. It's like the game is rewarding your destructive curiosity.

New Thunderclap Temple: Mahavira Hall

Guarded by the Non-Pure spirit boss in a small building on the right-hand side of the Mahavira Hall grounds. You need to clear him out first, but then you get to meditate in a temple courtyard. Worth it.

Chapter 4: The Webbed Ridge – Spiders Everywhere

This region is where my arachnophobia flared up, but I powered through for the Sparks. Here's what you're looking for:

Webbed Hollow: Pool of Shattered Jade

This is the most complicated to reach. From the Upper Hollow Shrine, go to the area with insect sacs. Look for a ledge to drop down into a tunnel system full of spider sacs that attack when you get close. At the end of the tunnel, a sloping path leads to the Pool of Shattered Jade waypoint. The meditation spot is literally in the middle of the pond. Note that the Venom Daoist boss here is part of the secret side quest for this chapter.

Webbed Hollow: Middle Hollow

Continue past the Verdure Bridge village and you'll stumble upon the Middle Hollow shrine. The spot is nearby, so you can't miss it.

Webbed Hollow: Lower Hollow

Just before the Lower Hollow shrine, there's a narrow opening in the tunnel. Crawl through to tag this one.

Temple of Yellow Flowers: Forest of Ferocity

At the Forest of Ferocity waypoint, go left to find the spot on the cliff's edge. I remember the lighting here being absolutely gorgeous.

Temple of Yellow Flowers: Temple Entrance

Enter the temple grounds and check the right-hand side for a yard with snake monks. The Snake Sheriff spirit elite, the hermit NPC, and an Awaken Wine Worm are all in this area, so it's a bustling little neighborhood.

Purple Cloud Mountain: Bounds of Deity's Abode

You need access to the Chapter 4 secret area. From the Bounds of Deity's Abode shrine, turn around and defeat the Snake Herbalist mob. From the torii gate, follow the sloping, bush-filled path to find the spot on the cliff's edge.

Chapter 5: Flaming Mountains – Hot and Heavy

Woods of Ember: Camp of Seasons

Right after you defeat the Brown-Iron Cart (the first of the Five Element Carts), you'll find this meditation spot on a scaffolding. It's a quick breather before the next fiery nightmare.

Furnace Valley: The Emerald Hall

Facing the throne in the Emerald Hall, go to the far-left section overlooking the lava flows. The spot is in front of a Buddha statue, which feels like a joke about accepting your fate in a pool of lava.

Field of Fire: Ashen Pass III

At the Ashen Pass III shrine, there's a metal ball that rolls around and one-shots you if you're not careful. But wait! That same ball can destroy the wall behind the shrine. Let it roll, break the wall, and you'll find a small clearing with the meditation spot. This is the kind of environmental interaction I live for.

Bishui Cave: Purge Pit

You need to access the Chapter 5 secret area first. After defeating the initial bull mobs, check the next chamber and look to your right. The Purge Pit shrine is also nearby.

Final Thoughts: Zen and the Art of Skill Points

Collecting all 24 meditation spots took me through every nook and cranny of this stunning world, and tbh, it forced me to appreciate the art design even more. Each one is like a little postcard from hell, and the free Sparks are the cherry on top. If you're hunting the “Scenic Seeker” achievement in 2026 (maybe because you're replaying before the rumored DLC?), this guide should have you covered.

For even more secrets, I've got guides on Celestial Medicines upgrades, curios and accessories, and gourd drinks and soaks coming up. But for now, go forth and meditate, monkey. You've earned it. 🐒✨
