Black Myth: Wukong Gourd Locations & Upgrades

AntMag.NET

Gourds are your primary healing source in Black Myth: Wukong. Activated by pressing the corresponding buttons, Wukong will drink from his Gourd to replenish health. The number of uses and potency depend on the equipped Gourd and its upgrades. You can upgrade Gourds by speaking to Shen Monkey near the Marsh of White Mist Shrine in Bamboo Village after unlocking his services in Chapter 2. Upgrades require Luoija Fragments (for more uses) or Awaken Wine Worms (for increased potency). Additionally, Gourds can be enhanced with Drinks and Soaks.

Below, you'll find every Gourd separated by the Chapter in which they can be found.
