Black Myth Wukong All Gourd Locations

In Black Myth: Wukong your health flask is called the “Gourd”. It is used to heal yourself. The Gourd can be upgraded using Luojia Fragrant Vine for more healing charges, and Awaken Wine Worms for more health restored per use. To upgrade the gourd, give them to the Shen Monkey NPC in the Chapter 1 area “Bamboo Forest > Marsh of White Mist”.

You can fast travel between chapters at any time from Keeper’s Shrines. There’s still free-roam after the story. After the endboss you are put back in the Title Screen, here choose to Continue, it will spawn you before the final boss. You can still revisit all places from this point. Just don’t “Enter a New Cycle” in the Title Screen as this starts New Game+ and overwrites your save with no way back.

Other Gourd Items:

• Luojia Fragrant Vines (Gourd Healing Upgrades)
• Awaken Wine Worms (Gourd Healing Upgrades)
• Drinks
• Soaks
