The treasure hunter is an NPC you can meet in Black Myth: Wukong As you explore the Pagoda Realm in Chapter 3. No matter how many characters you meet on your journey, the Hunter has a special questline you can complete for rare rewards. Helping out the seemingly lost soul leads to a secret boss and a hidden area that holds even more treasures.

At least make sure you’ve defeated Captain Wise-Kul in Black Myth: Wukong Before trying to help the treasure hunter.
