Black Myth Wukong contains 20 Weapons (Staffs and Spears). Collecting and crafting all 20 Weapons unlocks the Staffs and Spears trophy & achievement. Most Weapons can be collected and crafted in the first playthrough, but a few are only obtainable in New Game+.
Recommended Use: It’s recommended to play through the story first, this will unlock most weapons automatically for crafting. After the endboss you will be put back in the Title Screen, choose to “Continue Journey” to keep exploring. Compare your list against the list here to find out what you are missing. Clean up everything, then advance to New Game+ for the remaining weapons. Beware that starting New Game+ overwrites your save and then there’s no way back to free-roam in the first playthrough anymore.
Also, you won’t get enough crafting materials to craft all weapons + armor in the first playthrough. New Game+ is mandatory to craft completely everything. But you will need to have finished all bosses in the first playthrough to get enough materials by the end of New Game+, or else you will need a third playthrough in New Game++.
