When you’re ready, here’s a selection of the best Curios inBlack Myth: Wukong.
Tiger Tally
Upon landing Light Attack hits, this Curio grants an 8% attack bonus that lasts for roughly five seconds. Since it’s linked to Light Attacks, it’s incredibly easy to trigger this effect continuously. As a bonus, this Curio becomes available very early in the game; you can get it by defeating theTiger Vanguardin Chapter 2.
The Tiger Tendon Belt is basically a more powerful version of the Tiger Tally as it temporarily increases your attack by “seeing through” an enemy. Although the attack boost will be stronger, beware that it’s much harder to trigger this Curio’s effect - it’s best to use the Smash Stance’s “Resolute Strike” (a special attack with inherent see through effect) to make it more reliable.
The Tiger Tendon Belt is dropped by Snake Sheriffs, the snake-like tiger enemies in the Temple of Yellow Flowers. The easiest way to farm this Curio is by targeting the Snake Sheriff close to the Court of Illumination in Chapter 4.
These two are perhaps the best mid-game Curios. While not as strong on their own, the Jade Moon Rabbit and Gold Sun Crow Curios enhance each other’s effect, leading to a powerful damage bonus and damage reduction effect. They may not be as unique as other Curios on this list, but they can suit any build and are relatively easy to obtain.
Here’s how to get both Curios: for the Jade Moon Rabbit, simply follow the main path - it’s dropped after theZhu Bajiefight about halfway through Chapter 4. For the Gold Sun Crow, go to the “Valley of Blooms” Shrine on Purple Cloud Mountain (Chapter 4), cross the bridge and go left, then go right at the first opportunity. It’s in a chest on top of the hill.
The Amber Prayer Beads is the best Curio to improve your Focus generation by simply improving the buildup speed. No matter your playstyle, improving the damage of your next Heavy Attack is almost always a welcome effect, so this is an excellent Curio to have. You’ll find it in the cave on the right side following theFather of Stonesboss fight in Chapter 5.
This Curio is not only perfect for those looking for a defense bonus (an improvement of around 12%), but it also provides a useful offensive ability; upon taking damage, surrounding enemies will take damage too. This is especially great against groups of smaller enemies and bosses with minions, as it’ll help you get rid of them faster. To get this Curio, defeat the massive demon guardian on the left side of the Longevity Road Shrine in Chapter 3 - you’ll have to take a short walk through the snowy forest to find it.
Would you like to become immortal? Then look no further than this overpowered defensive Curio: Maitreya’s Orb. After a certain amount of attacks, the next incoming fatal blow isn’t fatal anymore. It may not seem that great at first, as the effect needs dozens of successful hits to trigger, but it only takes a few seconds if you’re using the ridiculously fast Mobile Spin attack. To get Maitreya’s Orb, explore the cave after the firstNon-Whiteboss fight in Chapter 3.
This legendary Curio ignores the enemy’s “Four Banes Resistances”, meaning their resistance to poison, burn, frost, and shock damage. This is obviously very strong if you’re using elemental damage in your Black Myth: Wukong build. To obtain this Curio, you must defeat the frog bossLang-Baw-Bawin Chapter 6.
That concludes our picks for the best Curios in Black Myth: Wukong. If you’d like to get more upgrades, you might want to collectLuojia Fragrant Vinesas well asAwaken Wine Wormsto improve your Gourds and Drinks. Keep an eye out for Black Myth: Wukong’smeditation spotsas well.
