IN Black Myth: Wukong, to complete it successfully, you can choose your play style. Gamers will need special items and their own armor. However, it can be difficult not to miss the best items as you progress through the story. Let’s take a look at some of them.
Guides for Black Myth: Wukong
Remark: We are still adding to this material.
Centipede armor
The most unusual mythic armor in the game, as it triggers a stat increase for the character when he takes damage. Synergizes well with other poison-related consumables.
The armor skills are called “Protection from Poison”:
- Equipping two of the four items will gradually reduce the damage caused by the poison effect significantly;
- Equipping all of her items will boost your attack when you are poisoned.
Content and resources to create
- Centipede hat: Cold iron plates (4), Thin gold wire (2), Will units (7500);
- Qiangjin Style Centipede Armor: Cold iron plates (5), Thin gold wire (2), Will units (8400);
- Spiked centipede bracelets: Cold iron plates (1), Thin gold wire (1), Will units (4000);
- Centipede laying: Cold iron plates, thin gold wire (1), Will units (6000).
How can you get it?
You can create it by spending the resources mentioned above. Please note that in order to create these items, you need to complete the fourth chapter of the story.
Pilgrim’s robes
Good for speedrunning, as it increases attack depending on running and makes movement easier. Has the following skills:
- Equipping two of the four items will increase your running speed;
- When you equip all armor items, each second of running increases your attack value by 10%. The effect does not accumulate after 10 seconds of fast movement and disappears when you stop running.
Additionally, if you increase the rarity of the armor from uncommon to mythic, you can gain a small number of focus points per second while running.
Content and resources to create
- Pilgrim’s Edge: Yarn (4), Willpower (1000);
- Pilgrim’s robes: Yarn (5), Willpower (1200);
- Pilgrim bracelets: Yarn (1), Willpower (500);
- Pilgrim leg bands: Yarn (2), Willpower (640).
How can you get it?
Some of the very first things in the game that can be crafted are after the boss Lin Xu-tzu and the Guanyin Temple on Black Wind Mountain, that is, after the first chapter. If you want to upgrade your armor, you will need to unlock the Painted Kingdom after beating Elder Moon in Chapter 3.
After you’ve taken down the enemy, head to the Crouching Tiger Temple Basement Shrine shrine (Chapter 2) to talk to NPC Dog Xu and get Elder Long’s special medicine. Return it and you’ll be sent to a new location.
In the Painted Kingdom you will need to find the NPC Yin Tiger, who will increase the rarity of your armor for Willpower and Resources depending on the desired rarity (Silk, Cold Iron Plate, Thin Golden Thread, and Heavenly Ribbon).
Prince’s armor with bull’s head
The best mythic items for so-called ‘tank’ strategies to repel almost all enemy attacks and use strong counterattacks. Has the skills “Unwavering Determination”:
- Equipping two of the four items will temporarily increase the hero’s defense when taking damage.
- Equipping all armor items will give your character the Toughness effect when at 50% health or lower, but will not be able to perform Perfect Dodges.
Content and resources to create
Prince mask with bull’s head: Thin Golden Thread (2), Heavenly Ribbon (2), Iron Horn of the Prince with the Head of a Bull (2), Will Units (9999);
Shanwen Prince’s Bull Head Armor: Thin Golden Thread (4), Heavenly Ribbon (2), Iron Horn of the Prince with the Head of a Bull (2), Will Units (12000);
Prince bracelets with bull’s head: Thin Golden Thread (2), Heavenly Ribbon (1), Iron Horn of the Prince with the Head of a Bull (1), Will Units (6000);
Laying of the Prince with the head of a bull: Thin Golden Thread (2), Heavenly Ribbon (1), Iron Horn of the Prince with the Head of a Bull (1), Will Units (7200).
How can you get it?
Unfortunately, you can’t play all of the items in this armor at once, as you can only find 4 Iron Horns of the Bull-Headed Prince, so to get the full set you’ll need to perform the same steps in New Game+.
First, you need to open the secret location of the fifth chapter, ‘Bishui Cave’. If you haven’t done this yet, you can use our guide.
Go to the altar “Bishui Cave, Pit of Purification”, turn around and go down the stairs on the left until you reach the area in the middle, then cross it to the rise indicated in the picture.
Just after the climb, at the fork, keep left. Run to the circular area and then go northeast, past two enemies. Then look carefully to the right: there should be a new altar.
Then continue along the same path past all the enemies until a chest appears on the left with one of the iron horns of the bull-headed prince. Then return to this path and follow it forward for a long time, turning every now and then and over the suspension bridge, and at the end sliding down to the altar, where you have to turn right to enter the arena to the boss. If you defeat him, you will receive three iron horns from the bull-headed prince.
Luna scale armor
Creating a character for the game with this armor will not cause any problems. Equipping all three items in this set will shorten the duration of the effect when your character is hit, and also increase the damage you deal from lightning.
Increasing the rarity of the original epic to mythic will increase the lightning damage dealt to your opponent.
Content and resources to create
- Moonscale combat gear: Silk (5), cold iron plates (2), Will units (4500);
- Moonscale combat gear: Silk (1), cold iron plates (1), will units (2000);
- Moonscale combat gear: Silk (2), cold iron sheets (1), willpower (2700).
How can you get it?
You can craft this armor immediately at the appropriate location after defeating the Kan-Jin Star boss. The boss is required to complete the game, so you definitely won’t miss it. You can increase the rarity in the same way as you did with the Pilgrim’s Cloak.
Golden armor
Armor associated with the use of spirits or artifacts. Her abilities are called “Golden Glow”:
- Equipping two of the four items after activating a spirit or talisman skill will increase attack for a short time;
- If you equip all armors, you will receive some Chi after critical hits on opponents or defeating them.
Content and resources to create
- Golden Mask of Rage: Cold iron plates (4), Thin gold wire (2);
- Gold embroidered shirt: Cold iron plates (5), Thin gold wire (2);
- Golden bracers: Cold iron plates (1), Thin gold wire (1);
- Golden leggings: Cold iron plates (2), thin gold wire (1).
How can you get it?
You can craft this armor immediately after finding the first altar in the fourth chapter. No additional plot requirements are needed.
We tried to cover most of the best armor sets in Black Myth: Wukong, available in both early and late game. Only you can decide which one suits your character best. Also, in some cases you might need the most unpopular and less useful armor, because it can only be ideally combined with other items.
