How To Craft Celestial Medicines In Black Myth: Wukong
You can craft different medicines in Black Myth: Wukong to temporarily or permanently boost your stats, but you can't start crafting these items until you complete an NPC's side quest. black myth wukong events meet in Chapter 2 has the recipes for medicine that he's willing to teach you. With two kinds of powerful medicine in the game, there's a lot to learn.
Medicines are not to be confused with drinks, consumables, or your Healing Gourd used to recover health during fights. While those items could cure poison in Black Myth: Wukong or help you recover from other ailments, medicines provide stat boosts . There are two types of medicines - normal Medicine which gives you temporary stat increases, and Celestial Medicine which makes those improvements permanent.
Defeat The Frog With Xu Dog's Formula
You'll come across Xu Dog for the first time in Chapter 2 near the Village Entrance Keeper's Shrine in Sandgate Village . From this point, drop from the wooden bridge to your right to the gorge below to find Xu Dog in a cave with foxes painted near its entrance. Talking to the NPC for the first time will start their questline, which is tied to the crafting of basic medicines.
Xu Dog asks you to defeat the frog Lang-Li-Guhh-Baw , a boss who has swallowed his medicinal formulas. This enemy is almost a carbon copy of Baw-Li-Guhh-Lang, a similarly amphibian boss from Chapter 1 from the Bamboo Grove area. Unlike the Whiteclad Noble in Black Myth: Wukong or other humanoid bosses, the Lang-Li-Guhh-Baw has a bestial move set that may be easier to predict.
Once you take down Lang-Li-Guhh-Baw, you'll receive the Evil Repelling Medicament formula that Xu Dog was looking for. R eturn to Xu Dog to unlock the ability to craft regular Medicine at Keeper's Shrines throughout the game. The materials vary for each Medicine you want to craft, but you have to find recipes for each item first by either finding them in the world or buying them from Xu Dog.
When you enter a Keeper's Shrine, select the "Make Medicines" option to start crafting. As you gain more formulas, you'll be able to make more medicines using the various plant life you harvest during your travels. For example, the Evil Repelling Medicament, the first formula you learn, can greatly increase your damage reduction for a long duration when you make it using a Licorice and Jade Lotus plant.
Find Xu Dog Again Later In Chapter 2
When you finish Xu Dog's request, he leaves to find a furnace deeper within some nearby caves, disappearing from you for the next few hours. You should run into him again in the cellar under the Crouching Tiger Temple seen in a later section of Chapter 2. Progress through the story naturally to come across this location as you reach new areas in Black Myth: Wukong 's extensive region map .
Talking to Xu Dog again unlocks the option to "Make Medicines - Celestial Medicines" when interacting with the NPC . You can't make Celestial Medicines at a Keeper's Shrine like regular ones, as the furnace Xu Dog found is the only device that can properly make them. You won't have to defeat any bosses this time, but you'll have to search for new and rarer materials.
Celestial Medicine is not crafted through basic plant items but instead requires rare resources called Mind Cores . You can choose to spend a Mind Core to make a Celestial Medicine that permanently increases one of your stats once consumed. You could choose to use Mind Core to increase your max health, mana, and stamina, or even build up resistance to dangerous status effects like poison.
Gaining these upgrades will help you take on the challenging bosses in your path in later story Chapters. You can always revisit Xu Dog at his furnace to craft more Celestial Medicines as your journey continues in Black Myth: Wukong .
