  • Increase Your HP With the Skill Tree in Black Myth: Wukong
  • How to Improve Your Gourd

As you advance through the forest, you will encounter various enemies and realize that your Gourd will be your most essential tool. In Black Myth: Wukong, you will start with the Old Gourd, but soon, you will realize it will not be enough to increase your HP points. You must find a way to recover from battle wounds quickly, and exploring the map will be the answer.

Increase Your HP With the Skill Tree in Black Myth: Wukong

Initially, the Old Gourd only recovers one-third of the maximum HP, and you can only use it four times. To compensate for the Gourd’s low healing, the Skill Tree is a better option, but it will involve a lot of grinding Will and Sparkles. To access the Skill Tree, you must follow these steps:

  1. Pause the game and go to the Self-Advance tab.
  2. Several icons will appear; select the Abilities icon (Wukong with light armor).
  3. In the new window, there will be three different columns. Go to the Survival column.
  4. In that column, the first icon on the left side is the one for Robust Constitution (it has the shape of a heart).

In Black Myth: Wukong, you can upgrade up to 6 times this talent; each time, it will cost 1 Spark and slightly increase your HP points.

If you also want to improve the number of times you can use your Gourd’s healing, it is possible and handy for facing one of the bosses in Black Myth: Wukong. First, you must find the Keeper’s Shrine in Marsh of the White Mist, which is part of the Bamboo Grove and Chapter 1. From there, you must follow these steps:

  1. Go straight to the bridge from the Shrine.
  2. Defeat the snake.
  3. Listen to the Shen Monkey.
  4. Go inside the cave and talk to him. He has the option to upgrade your Gourd in exchange for Luojia Fragrant Vines.

Luojia Fragrant Vines is a plant that shines in golden color and is also found in the Marsh of the White Mist. Position yourself so that the Keeper’s Shrine is on your right side; to the left, you will see the vines. You can also find more of this plant in other areas, chests, or after defeating enemies. In addition to upgrading your Gourd, there are different types with various effects that you can find as you go on your adventure. So, keep an eye out and explore every inch of the mountain.
