Black Myth Wukong Kun Steel Locations
Kun Steel is the rarest weapon-crafting material in Black Myth: Wukong — only six pieces exist per playthrough, and each top-tier weapon costs two. Here's where all six are.
Quick answer: all six Kun Steel come from Chapter 4 onwards — five boss kills and one lava chest in the Flaming Mountains. Four weapons need two each, so you must leave one weapon uncrafted per playthrough. Collect all six before starting a New Cycle.
All 6 Kun Steel locations
| # | Source | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hundred-Eyed Daoist Master (Ch. 4 main boss) | Unmissable — drops when you finish Chapter 4 at the Webbed Hollow's Temple of Yellow Flowers |
| 2 | The Duskveil (Ch. 4 secret boss) | Find the Venom Daoist at Pool of Shattered Jade, then again at Court of Illumination — that opens Purple Cloud Mountain, where the Duskveil waits |
| 3 | Yellow Loong (Loong Scales finale) | Finish the Loong Scales questline — beat Red Loong (Ch. 1), Black Loong (Ch. 2) and Cyan Loong (Ch. 3), then fight Yellow Loong at the Relief of the Fallen Loong Shrine in the Webbed Hollow |
| 4 | Lava chest (Ch. 5) | From Furnace Valley's Valley Entrance Shrine, follow the path, drop to the lava level and walk to the end — a chest behind a Turtle Treasure Spirit holds it. Bring burn protection. |
| 5 | Yaksha King (Ch. 5 main boss) | Unmissable — drops at the end of Chapter 5 at Fallen Furnace Crater |
| 6 | Erlang Shen (secret boss, Mount Mei) | The hardest boss in the game — unlocked by clearing the secret areas and treasure quests across chapters. Listed under Chapter 3 but reachable only very late. |

FAQ
Can you farm Kun Steel?
No — the six pieces are fixed drops: five specific bosses plus one chest. New Game Plus gives you a fresh set of six.
What's the earliest Kun Steel I can get?
Chapter 4 — the Hundred-Eyed Daoist Master (story) or the Duskveil (secret) are the first two. Yellow Loong is also in Chapter 4 but requires finishing the whole Loong Scales line.
Should I save Kun Steel for NG+?
Weapons carry into New Cycle — collect all six and craft your picks before starting NG+ so you begin with top gear.
What else does Yellow Loong drop?
Besides Kun Steel, the Sea-Supporting Tendon — needed for the strongest staff upgrades.
