Medicines in Black Myth Wukong

Last Updated:October 1, 2024|Changelog

You come across a variety of Medicines on your journey. Some of them provide temporary bonuses in battle and must be consumed. Others provide permanent stat increases which take effect as soon as you find or craft them. You unlock the ability to craft Medicines after encountering Xu Dog in Chapter 2 near Sandgate Village and bringing him his recipe. You get the recipe by defeating the nearby Frog Yaoguai, Lang-Li-Guhh-Baw.

Mortal Medicines

Bmw Begguide Medicine Img 1 1024 X 576

You can craft a variety of Medicines using recipes and materials found along your journey. These consumables are single use and take a bit of time to use, similar to drinking from your Gourd. After you help Xu Dog, you can craft any unlocked Medicines at the Shrines. Medicines drop off of enemies from time to time, and you can purchase them from the Shrine Vendors. But none of these methods are as reliable as just crafting them after you gather some materials.

Their effects range from the mundane, simple stat boosts, to the extraordinary, granting resurrection on death. Shock-Quelling Powder and Antimiasma Powder are both great for countering the Shock and Poison ailments inflicted by enemies. Some Medicines require rare materials usually obtained when an enemy pops out of the resource you're trying to harvest and attacks you. In exchange, they grant powerful effects! Loong Aura Amplification Pellets provide a huge damage boost and the Soul Remigration Pill returns the Destined One to life! Two other notable Medicines are the Septenary Heartfire Pill which resets your Spells and the Life-Saving Pill which provides a full heal and removes all negative statuses.

Special Medicines

There are also several Celestial Medicines you can find throughout the world. These are more powerful versions of the Jade Lotus Pill, Taiyi Pill, and Nonary Pill. You typically find these hidden away in nooks and crannies along your Journey. The effects of these Medicines carry over into New Game+ but you cannot collect them additional times to stack the effect. Instead, when you collect one of these for a second time, it's converted into Will.

The last notable special Medicine is the 5 Skandhas Pill you get from completing the 5 Skandha's quest. This boosts your Maximum Health, Mana, and Stamina. Like the Celestial Medicines you find throughout the world you can only gain the benefits from this once.
