Players have a ton of options for equipment in Game Science's Black Myth: Wukong which provide different bonuses that cater to certain playstyles.
One type of equipment that you can equip in the game are gourds that give passive bonuses such as HP recovery and other buffs.
This guide lists some of the best gourds available in Black Myth: Wukong and how you can get them for yourself. You can look through the items in this list to see which ones benefit your preferred playstyle in Game Science's popular action RPG.
1. Supreme Gourd
This item on this list is the Supreme Gourd which has five charges and no passive effects. While this gourd may sound underwhelming, it can be upgraded to have up to 10 charges and become a legendary-rarity item from being the default gourd you are given.
With the gourd's 10 charges, players have more uses for it compared to any other gourd that is available in their first playthrough. This is the primary reason it is one of the best gourds available in the game, according to Rock Paper Shotgun.
2. Trailblazer's Scarlet Gourd
Next up is a good gourd for the early- to mid-game that has five charges and can be used to replenish your character to full health for the first use. Subsequent uses will only heal a portion of your maximum HP.
Despite this limitation, the Trailblazer's Scarlet Gourd is a powerful healing item that should be considered in any build. You can get this item at any Keeper's Shrine as part of the "Trailblazer's Gift," which is a pre-order bonus for the game.
3. Xiang River Goddess Gourd
The Xiang River Goddess Gourd is one of the most useful gourds in Black Myth: Wukong as it provides a noticeable resistance to the Burn status effect. This is one of the most common status effects you can encounter, which makes the item even more useful, The Gamer said.
Another benefit of this item is that it provides immunity to lava-covered terrain, which is particularly strong when you are in Chapter 5. You can get this gourd in Webbed Hollow by crossing the small broken wooden bridge and going left for a cutscene.
After this, you need to go inside the doorway on your right that will show you several chests with one of them holding the Xiang River Goddess Gourd.
4. Jade Guanyin Gourd
Next up is the Jade Guanyin Gourd which is one of the most popular legendary gourds in the game thanks to the spell A Pluck of Many. This is because the item synergizes extremely well with the spell which makes it even stronger.
You can get this item by upgrading the Jade Lotus Gourd, which itself can be found and purchased from the Shen Monkey at the beginning of Chapter 3. The merchant is located in the Zodiac Village after you finish Chen Loong's quest.
5. Multi-Glazed Gourd
The last item on this list is the Multi-Glazed Gourd which is a great choice for players who prefer raw damage over increased defense. It provides six charges and increases your character's Attack Power for the last use.
If you want to get this particular gourd, you will have to buy it from the Shen Monkey at the start of Chapter 6, according to Game Rant.
