Spirits in Black Myth: Wukong let you take on the shape and power of many of your enemies, big and small. Most spirits offer both an active skill, usually an additional attack, and a passive buff, which is usually something minor. All of them cost Qi to activate, though how resource-intensive they are depends on the individual spirit, and all of them can be improved at a shrine. This guide will teach you where to find all Spirits in Black Myth: Wukong.

Where to Find the Mad Tiger Spirit
The Mad Tiger is one of the hardest spirits to find in Black Myth: Wukong. The spirits hidden inside a secret area require you to unlock their location, but they are otherwise out in the open. Instead, the Mad Tiger requires you to complete a long quest made of seemingly arbitrary parts.
First, you should find the Tiger’s Acolyte and acquire his spirit. You’ll also get a toy drum. Playing this instrument in the right locations will summon the spirit of a child who is in communication with the Mad Tiger. You’ll need to play the drum in three locations. The game doesn’t give you any real clues, but know that they are all located inside the two villages of this region.
The first location is in the Windrest Hamlet, and it’s easy enough to find. You will be prompted to play the drum, which will start a cutscene. The sickly ghost-child will say something about petrification and falling down a well. Ignore him, as those are clues for the final location, not the next. The second step of this side quest actually brings us all the way to Village Entrance, near the first village of the region.
Finishing the Mad Tiger Spirit Side Quest
Finally, the third location brings us back to the Windrest Hamlet. Slightly outside of the town is a well. Activate the drum and jump into the well, where you will fight the Mad Tiger.
