With the numerous side quests and characters you encounter while progressing throughBlack Myth: Wukong, it can be challenging to keep track of all of them, and you might worry about missing out on completing some quests and their rewards.

Fortunately, most quests are chapter-related, meaning they typically need to be completed within the same chapter where you find the quest giver. However, there are a couple of exceptions where some characters require you to find them in different locations and interact with them across various chapters before you’ll be able to complete their quests.
