Black Myth: Wukong

All Weapon Locations

By
Matt Chard

Like most action RPG’s, you can find, craft, and upgrade Weapons in Black Myth: Wukong. There are a total of 21 Weapons in the game, some of which are upgraded, others that are unlocked by finding a specific material, normally from a boss. Each Weapon comes with it’s own unique passive skill that enhances one of your skills, or increases a specific stat.

They come in six rarities, which are Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythical with some of the higher tiers requiring you to do specific quests to acquire them. Read on to find out how you can unlock all Weapons in Wukong.

How to Craft Weapons

Crafting is done at any Shrine once you’ve acquired the recipe. This won’t be available to you until you get the "Twin Serpents Staff" iconTwin Serpents Staff recipe upon defeating the "Whiteclad Noble" iconWhiteclad Noble boss in Chapter 1. As you progress through the game and unlock more recipes, you’ll either unlock an upgrade to an existing weapon tree, or you’ll unlock a new weapon tree altogether.

To find the upgrades, expand a weapon (some can’t be upgraded), select the upgrade, and you’ll find what materials you need to craft it. Some materials will be shown as ???? but you can check the weapon in the lists below to find out what they are. Once you have the recipe, the required materials, and the currency for it, you can craft the weapon.

(1 of 4) At a Shrine, select “Craft” followed by “Craft Weapons”.

Common Weapon Locations

There’s only the one Common Weapon in Wukong, and that’s the weapon you start with, the "Willow Wood Staff" iconWillow Wood Staff. As you begin to unlock more weapons, some of them will branch off from the staff.

Uncommon Weapon Locations

The first upgrade to the Willow Wood Staff is the Twin Serpents Staff, which is obtainable in Chapter 1 after defeating one of the main bosses. The second weapon is only obtainable if you purchased the Deluxe Edition of the game.

The materials from the bosses are a 100% drop rate while the lesser materials have a chance to drop, although some of these can be purchased at the Shrine Stores or in the Chests scattered throughout the world.
