Looking for all Three Bells in Black Myth Wukong? If you’re wondering whether to ring the curious Bell you’ve just found in Chapter 1 of Black Myth Wukong - go ahead and do it. There are in fact Three Bells to find in this early section of the game, and ringing each of them in turn allows you to unlock a hidden boss fight.

In the guide below, we’ll show you exactly where to go to find all Three Bell locations in Black Myth Wukong. After that, we’ll walk you through what awaits you in the hidden area you unlock, and how to beat the hidden boss within.

All Bell locations in Black Myth Wukong

The Three Bells are unique to Chapter 1, so you won’t find them in any of the later Chapters of Black Myth: Wukong. Ringing just one or two will do nothing - you need to find all three Bell locations and ring each of them to unlock one of the hidden regions of the game - the first of many , in fact!

Below we’ll walk you through how to find each of the Three Bells in greater detail, but here are their locations at a glance:

• First Bell: Past Guangzhi’s arena (Outside the Forest)
• Second Bell: Past Guangmou’s arena (Snake Trail)
• Third Bell: Past Whiteclad Noble’s arena (Marsh of White Mist)

You can use this video walkthrough to pinpoint all three Bell locations, courtesy of our friends at IGN.Watch on YouTube

Where to find the First Bell

The first Bell location is inside the Guangzhi boss arena. Starting from the Outside the Forest Keeper’s Shrine (in the Forest of Wolves area of Chapter 1), follow the path ahead, past some minor enemies. Cross the small wooden bridge, then pass the Wandering Wight on your right (you don’t need to engage with this blue bobblehead boss if you don’t want to), and follow the flame-lit road as it leads to a gate with the Guangzhi boss arena behind it.

As the Bell is on the other side of the arena, behind Guangzhi, you must defeat this boss first. Guanzhi uses a double-bladed spear imbued by flames, try to wait out his attack combos to avoid burn damage and strike immediately after. You’ll find the Bell inside the small shrine building - interact with it to ‘ring the bell’.

Where to find the Second Bell

The second Black Myth Wukong Bell is located in the Guangmou boss arena, which is near the Snake Trail shrine in the Bamboo Grove region. Starting from this Shrine, go upstairs, cross the wooden bridge, and follow the path as it leads down again. Take the road to the left, leading underneath the bridge you just crossed, and stick to the right as you walk through the bamboo grove.

There’s a narrow opening in the rock wall decorated with a statue and candle on the left side. Pass through this opening to find the Guangmou boss and defeat him to access the Bell on the other side of the arena. Beware that Guangmou may inflict poison damage, so best bring an antidote!

Where to find the Third Bell

The third Bell location is found near the Marsh of White Mist Shrine. It’s also in the Bamboo Forest region of Chapter 1, on the path leading away from the Guangmou boss arena.

Starting from the shrine, follow the path downwards (past the old monkey’s store), and walk into the shallow pond. If you haven’t done so already, you must defeat the Whiteclad Noble boss here. Beware that there are two phases to this battle!

Once you’ve won the fight, take the path leading through the rocks on the left , and find the third Bell at the end of this road. Beware of the wolf soldiers guarding it.

How to complete the Three Bells quest

After ringing the Three Bells, you’ll be transported to the Ancient Guanyin Temple . Be sure to unlock the Grand Chamber Keeper’s Shrine and collect the loot before entering the boss arena behind the closed door where you must fight the Elder Jinchi .

This boss fight isn’t extremely difficult but be sure to avoid damage from the orange, spirit-like minions, as they’ll explode when they get close to you. When the Elder Jinchi flies up, defeat the incoming waves of spirit minions as they will try to heal him.

When Elder Jinchi is no more, you’ll be returned to the location of the third bell, where you have the option to examine the corpse hanging from the nearby tree. Doing so will complete the three bells side quest and reward you with the Fireproof Mantle Vessel , which protects against burn damage and allows you to walk across lava.

That concludes this guide on the Black Myth Wukong Bell locations. Now that Elder Jinchi is no more, we can point you to the next boss fight and help you unlock every Keeper’s Shrine along the way. Let’s get you some of the best skills as well!

Looking for more Arc Raiders Blueprints? It’s a special day when you find a Blueprint, as they’re among the most valuable items in Arc Raiders. If you find a Blueprint that you haven’t already found, then you must make sure you hold onto it at all costs, because Blueprints are the key to one of the most important and powerful systems of meta-progression in the game.

This guide aims to be the very best guide on Blueprints you can find, starting with a primer on what exactly they are and how they work in Arc Raiders, before delving into exactly where to get Blueprints and the very best farming spots for you to take in your search.

We’ll also go over how to get Blueprints from other unlikely activities, such as destroying Surveyors and completing specific quests. And you’ll also find the full list of all 75 Blueprints in Arc Raiders on this page (including the newest Blueprints added with the Cold Snap update , such as the Deadline Blueprint and Firework Box Blueprint), giving you all the information you need to expand your own crafting repertoire.

In this guide:

• Full Blueprint list: All crafting recipes

What are Blueprints in Arc Raiders?

Blueprints in Arc Raiders are special items which, if you manage to extract with them, you can expend to permanently unlock a new crafting recipe in your Workshop. If you manage to extract from a raid with an Anvil Blueprint, for example, you can unlock the ability to craft your very own Anvil Pistol, as many times as you like (as long as you have the crafting materials).

To use a Blueprint, simply open your Inventory while in the lobby, then right-click on the Blueprint and click “Learn And Consume” . This will permanently unlock the recipe for that item in your Workshop. As of the Stella Montis update, there are allegedly 75 different Blueprints to unlock - although only 68 are confirmed to be in the game so far. You can see all the Blueprints you’ve found and unlocked by going to the Workshop menu, and hitting “R” to bring up the Blueprint screen.

It’s possible to find duplicates of past Blueprints you’ve already unlocked. If you find these, then you can either sell them, or - if you like to play with friends - you can take it into a match and gift it to your friend so they can unlock that recipe for themselves. Another option is to keep hold of them until the time comes to donate them to the Expedition.

Full Blueprint list: All crafting recipes

Below is the full list of all the Blueprints that are currently available to find in Arc Raiders, and the crafting recipe required for each item:

Note: The missing Blueprints in this list likely have not actually been added to the game at the time of writing, because none of the playerbase has managed to find any of them. As they are added to the game, I will update this page with the most relevant information so you know exactly how to get all 75 Arc Raiders Blueprints.

Where to find Blueprints in Arc Raiders

Below is a list of all containers, modifiers, and events which maximise your chances of finding Blueprints:

• Certain quests reward you with specific Blueprints .
• Completing Trials has a high chance of offering Blueprints as rewards.
• Surveyors have a decent chance of dropping Blueprints on death.
• High loot value areas tend to have a greater chance of spawning Blueprints.
• Night Raids and Storms may increase rare Blueprint spawn chances in containers.
• Containers with higher numbers of items may have a higher tendency to spawn Blueprints. As a result, Blue Gate (which has many “large” containers containing multiple items) may give you a higher chance of spawning Blueprints.
• Raider containers (Raider Caches, Weapon Boxes, Medical Bags, Grenade Tubes) have increased Blueprint drop rates. As a result, the Uncovered Caches event gives you a high chance of finding Blueprints.
• Security Lockers have a higher than average chance of containing Blueprints.
• Certain Blueprints only seem to spawn under specific circumstances: Tempest Blueprint only spawns during Night Raid events. Vulcano Blueprint only spawns during Hidden Bunker events. Jupiter and Equaliser Blueprints only spawn during Harvester events.

Blueprints have a very low chance of spawning in any container in Arc Raiders, around 1-2% on average. However, there is a higher chance of finding Blueprints in particular container types. Specifically, you can find more Blueprints in Raider containers and security lockers.

Beyond this, if you’re looking for Blueprints you should focus on regions of the map which are marked as having particularly high-value loot. Areas such as the Control Tower in Dam Battlegrounds, the Arrival and Departure Buildings in Spaceport, and Pilgrim’s Peak in Blue Gate all have a better-than-average chance of spawning Blueprints somewhere amongst all their containers. Night Raids and Electromagnetic Storm events also increase the drop chances of certain Blueprints .

In addition to these containers, you can often loot Blueprints from destroyed Surveyors - the largest of the rolling ball ARC. Surveyors are more commonly found on the later maps - Spaceport and Blue Gate - and if one spawns in your match, you’ll likely see it by the blue laser beam that it casts into the sky while “surveying”.

Surveyors are quite well-armoured and will very speedily run away from you once it notices you, but if you can take one down then make sure you loot all its parts for a chance of obtaining certain unusual Blueprints.

Blueprints obtained from quests

One way in which you can get Blueprints is by completing certain quests for the vendors in Speranza. Some quests will reward you with a specific item Blueprint upon completion, so as long as you work through all the quests in Arc Raiders, you are guaranteed those Blueprints.

Here is the full list of all Blueprints you can get from quest rewards:

• Trigger Nade Blueprint: Rewarded after completing “Sparks Fly”.
• Lure Grenade Blueprint: Rewarded after completing “Greasing Her Palms”.
• Burletta Blueprint: Rewarded after completing “Industrial Espionage”.
• Hullcracker Blueprint (and Launcher Ammo Blueprint): Rewarded after completing “The Major’s Footlocker”.

Alas, that’s only 4 Blueprints out of a total of 75 to unlock, so for the vast majority you will need to find them yourself during a raid. If you’re intent on farming Blueprints, then it’s best to equip yourself with cheap gear in case you lose it, but don’t use a free loadout because then you won’t get a safe pocket to stash any new Blueprint you find. No pain in Arc Raiders is sharper than failing to extract with a new Blueprint you’ve been after for a dozen hours already.

Blueprints obtained from Trials

One of the very best ways to get Blueprints is as rewards for completing Trials in Arc Raiders. Trials are unlocked from Level 15 onwards, and allow you to earn rewards by focusing on certain tasks over the course of several raids. For example, one Trial might task you with dealing damage to Hornets, while another might challenge you to loot Supply Drops.

Trials refresh on a weekly basis, with a new week bringing five new Trials. Each Trial can offer up to three rewards after passing certain score milestones, and it’s possible to receive very high level loot from these reward crates - including Blueprints. So if you want to unlock as many Blueprints as possible, you should make a point of completing as many Trials as possible each week.

Best Blueprint farming locations

The very best way to get Blueprints is to frequent specific areas of the maps which combine high-tier loot pools with the right types of containers to search. Here are my recommendations for where to find Blueprints on every map, so you can always keep the search going for new crafting recipes to unlock.

Dam Battlegrounds

The best places to farm Blueprints on Dam Battlegrounds are the Control Tower, Power Generation Complex, Ruby Residence, and Pale Apartments . The first two regions, despite only being marked on the map as mid-tier loot, contain a phenomenal number of containers to loot. The Control Tower can also contain a couple of high-tier Security Lockers - though of course, you’ll need to have unlocked the Security Breach skill at the end of the Survival tree.

There’s also a lot of reporting amongst the playerbase that the Residential areas in the top-left of the map - Pale Apartments and Ruby Residence - give you a comparatively strong chance of finding Blueprints. Considering their size, there’s a high density of containers to loot in both locations, and they also have the benefit of being fairly out of the way. So you’re more likely to have all the containers to yourself.

Buried City

The best Blueprint farming locations on Buried City are the Santa Maria Houses, Grandioso Apartments, Town Hall, and the various buildings of the New District . Grandioso Apartments has a lower number of containers than the rest, but a high chance of spawning weapon cases - which have good Blueprint drop rates. The others are high-tier loot areas, with plenty of lootable containers - including Security Lockers.

Spaceport

The best places to find Blueprints on Spaceport are the Arrival and Departure Buildings, as well as Control Tower A6 and the Launch Towers . All these areas are labelled as high-value loot regions, and many of them are also very handily connected to one another by the Spaceport wall, which you can use to quickly run from one area to the next. At the tops of most of these buildings you’ll find at least one Security Locker, so this is an excellent farming route for players looking to find Blueprints.

The downside to looting Blueprints on Spaceport is that all these areas are hotly contested, particularly in Duos and Squads. You’ll need to be very focused and fast in order to complete the full farming route.

Blue Gate

Blue Gate tends to have a good chance of dropping Blueprints, potentially because it generally has a high number of containers which can hold lots of items; so there’s a higher chance of a Blueprint spawning in each container. In my experience, the best Blueprint farming spots on Blue Gate are Pilgrim’s Peak, Raider’s Refuge, the Ancient Fort, and the Underground Complex beneath the Warehouse .

All of these areas contain a wealth of containers to loot. Raider’s Refuge has less to loot, but the majority of the containers in and around the Refuge are raider containers, which have a high chance of containing Blueprints - particularly during major events.

Stella Montis

On the whole, Stella Montis seems to have a very low drop rate for Blueprints (though a high chance of dropping other high-tier loot). If you do want to try farming Blueprints on this map, the best places to find Blueprints in Stella Montis are Medical Research, Assembly Workshop, and the Business Center . These areas have the highest density of containers to loot on the map.

In addition to this, the Western Tunnel has a few different Security Lockers to loot, so while there’s very little to loot elsewhere in this area of the map, it’s worth hitting those Security Lockers if you spawn there at the start of a match.

That wraps up this primer on how to get all the Blueprints in Arc Raiders as quickly as possible. With the Expedition system constantly resetting a large number of players’ Blueprints, it’s more important than ever to have the most up-to-date information on where to find all these Blueprints.
