To find the Man-In-Stone inBlack Myth: Wukong, fight through Sand Gate Village toreach the Fright Cliff area in Chapter Two. Make sure to activate the Keeper’s Shrine in Squall Hideout, near the location of Man-In-Stone. The path right of the shrine will lead you to a ravine guarded by palestones. The ravine can be crossed by a natural land bridge formation. Instead of crossing, drop into the ravine from the bridge. At the end of the lower path, you’ll come across an NPC.Talk to Man-In-Stone to initiate the quest.
If struggling to find the Man-In-Stone, listen for the NPC’s voice queues. He is trapped and, thus, calling for help.
The quest has three straightforward phases. First,recover the Stone Essence. Man-In-Stone claims, “Some bastard has got me trapped in this rock with his spell!” He prompts the Sun Wukong to journey to a cave where, “There’s a rock guai lurkin’, holdin’ secrets,” he suggests.
Fight your way through more rock guai, including poisestones. Continue along the path above the ravine to reach Rockrest Flats, where the cave is located. In the cave, the Destined One must defeatMother of Stonesand several more palestones. Once beaten,Mother of Stones drops Stone Essence.

Return to Man-In-Stone and offer him Stone Essence. The NPC, though thankful, will turn hostile. Quickly put the fraud back in his place by blundering him.

After resting at a shrine,the Drunken Boar will relocate to Crouching Tiger Temple. Progress naturally through the map until you reach the Temple Entrance. On the temple steps, the Boar will once again require the your assistance.
This time, the NPC asks you to collect something good to eat. The Boar cravesJade Lotus,an item found abundantly in Chapter One. Feed the Boar to advance the quest. Satisfied, the character speaks of The Realm of Gold. Move to the next quest phase by traveling back to Rockrest Flat.
Find the Boar where the NPC was first encountered. If you’ve made it this far, the Destined One should have slain the Flowing Sands in the Sandgate Village to acquire theArhat Gold Piece. If the item is in possession, prepare for a fight. Find the Boar guarding the passage to a large doorway.
Only a friend has turned foe, now named Yellow-Robed Squire.Fight Yellow-Robed Squire. Once its health is dwindled, the boss will admit defeat and lead you to the Realm of Gold. Or a secret area known as theKingdom of Sahali.
