InBlack Myth: Wukong, you’ll cling to your gourd and the healing nectar inside in order to claim victory over the gnarliest foes. Yourstaff will vanquish enemies, and yourarmor will offer protection. But the Gourd will ultimately keep you above ground in a pinch. Your gourd has a set amount of uses that can be replenished by absorbing green flame-like souls found throughout the world, or by simply resting at an incense checkpoint. You’ll begin your journey with theOld Gourdwhich offers you 4 uses that will partially recover your health bar.
How to Upgrade Your Gourd
Your initial Gourd can be upgraded with the Shen Monkey vendor in the first region,Black Wind Mountain. When you obtain the proper materials, you can fast-travel to theMarsh of the White Mistrest stop in the Bamboo Grove. The Shen Monkey is just down the path and can upgrade your gourd in exchange for the materials required. For instance, theOld Gourd(which offers 4 uses) can be upgraded to theMedicine Gourdwhich grants players 5 uses. You’ll need the following item in varying quantities in order to upgrade your gourd.
You can also obtain other gourds throughout your journey that offer other benefits. For instance, you can find theXiang River Goddess Gourd, which grants players a limited window for burn resistance, inside a chest.
