Are the secret bosses of this game too hard to find?

[gungadin22000]

I've only reached chapter 3, but in chapter 2 we had:

1. A secret stone boss unlockable by finding 6 buddha heads and then returning to an already explored boss arena and interacting with a pretty nondescript rock, no clues given.

2. A whole secret area with 2 bosses only accessible by giving a drunken NPC 2 quest items. No guidance is given to where you might find these items. He then goes to 2 different locations, one of them being pretty obvious, the other one I had to spoiler to tell where to find him again as his dialogue hint for it was too obscure.

3. One of the bosses in the aforementioned secret area dropped an item that was for me more or less required to beat the act boss, making spoilering the above quest the only real way I could beat him without resorting to massive cheese or powerleveling.

4. And worst of all: a dragon scale found beyond a completely nondescript wall that may or may not have been broken through during a fight with the giant rat boss in that area. If not broken through, you have to use an optional ability to break it yourself, but there is no clue that this was even a secret door. This dragon scale allows you to face 4 secret bosses in the game, including one in the previous act in a low level area you have zero motivation to visit again.

Really, this notion that any difficult action RPG needs to add obscure sidequests that 95% of players only ever complete by googling the solutions needs to stop. Black Myth's main attraction are its bossfights and having such a giant portion of them be this well hidden is not the best design choice, IMO.

hidden boss or hidden quest would require lots reading and listening.
i would suggest u listen english voice acting with subtitles if u dont understand chinese.
sometimes u might miss one or two which u can always redo them in NG+

[gungadin22000]

That is absolute nonsense. There is NO clue towards most secrets in this game, Chinese or otherwise.

The wall that needs to break is the most egregious one but the others aren’t too hard to find. There is a secret area in chapter 3 but you can’t do much there until you’ve done all the secret areas of 1, 2, 4, and 5. No secret area in 6

It's been a long time but have to say I completely agree the secret areas ruined what would have been a 10/10 for me

The boss in the well was the only one that I didn't find on my own. All the rest I found by simply exploring.
