Black Myth: Wukong

How to Unlock All Armor Sets

By
Matt Chard

There are sixteen armor sets in Black Myth: Wukong all of which reward you for wearing multiple pieces of the same set. These have passive effects depending on how many pieces are equipped that bolster specific skills or enhance your Medicinal items. Similar to Weapons, most armor sets are unlocked by completing a side quest, defeating a boss, or completing a Chapter. Read on to find out where you can find all these armor sets, and what each one offers you.

Each armor set in Wukong has set bonuses for equipping multiple pieces of the same set.

How to Craft Armor

To craft armor in Black Myth: Wukong, you’ll need to progress the story until you reach the Guanyin Temple Shrine in the Forest of Wolves in Chapter 1. Interact with the Shrine there, and you’ll have the option to Craft Armor. From there, craft the piece of armor you want to craft, and provided you have the necessary money ("Will" iconWill), and crafting materials, you’ll be able to craft it. More recipes are unlocked upon ending a Chapter, defeating a boss, or completing a quest.

That’s it for all the Armor Sets in Black Myth: Wukong. Each set is considered to be used with a specific build in mind. For example, if you wanted to do a poison build, you’d equip something like the Centipede Set. Note that you can only upgrade your armor after you have completed the Chen Loong and the Ruyi Scroll Side Quest. The higher tier of each upgrade for the sets is mostly for new game plus, as you will need rare items such as "Celestial Ribbon" iconCelestial Ribbons.
