To create medicine in Black Myth Wukong, It is about time you go on a journey that involves just a little bit of searching and ends with being captured by a quite grumpy frog.
Pursuing said goal is not as simple as a leisurely walk in the park; one has to move through different terrains, look for the ingredients, and still face obstacles. Thus, let me describe the process with some humor to make this journey fun and engaging as
I’ll guide you through this rather interesting experience!
Unlocking Medicine Crafting
So, first, go to chapter 2. Your new friend Xu Dog will be waiting for you in the Village Entrance keeper’s shrine after you get to Sandgate Village.
He is not just an average dog, he has some medicinal wisdom, which would certainly make even the most conscious health freaks have a rethink.
To begin with your journey, you have to cross the wooden bridge and then descend to the gorge on your right side.
Xu Dog is found lying down in a cave most probably contemplating life or just taking a nap. He will request your assistance after a frog swallows a formula that you have to recover.
Yes, a frog! Hmm, this must mean that this amphibian is quite the eater!
Defeating the Frog
This is no ordinary frog; this is the Lang-Li-Guhh-Baw, and this frog has some fancy moves that will surely bring home the crown.
When you have spoken to Xu Dog, it is time to fight this tough adversary. Ensure that you have got the Healing Potions with you because this frog is very powerful!
After you have killed the frog, who was probably on the lookout for a meal you will be given the Evil Repelling Medicine formula.
Return to Xu Dog, and he will pay you back by letting you make normal medicine in any Keeper’s Shrine.
It is like having a homemade magic potion kit without the fuss of cleaning up!
Crafting Regular Medicine
It is now possible to make medicine, return to any Keeper’s Shrine, and select the option Make Medicines.
The medicines with which you have to treat yourself need different components that are gathered during the game. For example, if you want to brew an Evil Repelling Medicament, you will have to get Licorice and Jade Lotus plants.
There are advantages and disadvantages with each type of medicine and you should not be afraid to mix them just like when you are cooking a meal.
It is important to remember though that no one likes a drink that has a bitter taste.
Unlocking Celestial Medicines
Once you’re done with the first crafting session, continue with Chapter 2 until you meet Xu Dog again in the basement of the Crouching Tiger Temple.
This time he has something even better than that – Celestial Medicines! These are the permanent boosts for the character’s stats and are made from Mind Cores.
In addition to that, more bosses have to be slain and more Mind Cores have to be gathered to create these magical pills.
All Celestial Medicine boosts such things, for example, health or stamina, which is very useful in boss fights where each percentage point matters.
Conclusion
Well, that’s the way it is! Crafting medicine in Black Myth Wukong is not only necessary for your survival but also an entertaining journey that has a lot of colorful personalities and difficult opponents you will face in the game.
This makes the game exciting and compels the players to get involved in the world that is created, where each potion that you brew can be a decisive factor. When you are going through various quests and tough fights, do not forget to restock your inventory and always have your potions on the boil.
