How to Upgrade Black Myth Wukong Gourd

Meet Shen Monkey

Sadly, you can’t upgrade your gourd on your own in Black Myth Wukong. To upgrade your gourd, you would have to meet an NPC namedShen Monkey. You will meet him eventually in the middle of Chapter 1. Here is how you will encounter him:

Shen Monkey, the friendly NPC, will help you upgrade the many aspects of your gourd. So, here is how you can completely utilize the services offered by Shen Monkey:

Increase the Number of Total Sips

First, to upgrade your gourd and increase the number of times you can consume it, you will need a special item called“Luojia Fragrant Vine.”Similar to the other rare resources, this item is also equally dispersed throughout the game. Thus, as soon as you find one, head back to Shen Monkey and select the‘Upgrade Gourds’option to increase the total gourd consumption rate.

Increasing the Potency of Healing Gourd

Next, you can also increase the total amount of health recovered using a gourd with a different rare resource called the“Awaken Wine Worm.”So, you know the drill now! As soon as you find this item, pay a visit to Shen Monkey and select the‘Upgrade Drinks’option to increase the potency of the healing drink you consume.

Brewing in Black Myth Wukong

Furthermore, the developers had added another option called‘Brew’to add external buffs to your gourd. As soon as you meet the Shen Monkey, the brew option appears not just with him but also in all the keeper’s shrines. So, as you discover the soaks in your journey, you can equip one from the menu to get additional perks while healing.

For example, equipping ‘Celestial Lotus Seeds‘ will slowly increase a small portion of your health as you heal using the gourd.

And that is how you upgrade your gourd in Black Myth Wukong. That said, did you discover the rare Luojia Fragrant Vine and Awaken Wine Worm already during your journey? Let us know in the comments below.
