How to Unlock All Vessels in Black Myth: Wukong

Chapter 1 Vessel: Fireproof Mantle

Unlocking the Fireproof Mantle is one of the initial steps in your Black Myth: Wukong journey. It’s not a hidden treasure, but instead, it’s obtained through completing a task within Chapter 1. Specifically, you need to activate three large bells positioned strategically within a particular area. This will trigger a portal leading to the Ancient Guanyin Temple, where a boss battle awaits. This boss, Elder Jinchi, holds the key to this essential vessel. Be sure to look for hints and clues within the chapter’s environment to find these bells.

• Location: Ancient Guanyin Temple (accessed via ringing specific bells).
• Boss: Elder Jinchi.

Once secured, this vessel offers significant advantages, making fire-heavy environments far safer. The mantle grants immunity to burn damage, allowing you to traverse treacherous lava fields with ease. This becomes vital in your progression through subsequent chapters.

Chapter 2 Vessel: Wind Tamer

The Wind Tamer Vessel requires a bit more effort beyond just exploring. Unlike the Fireproof Mantle, this vessel involves completing two distinct quests within Chapter 2. The first centers around assisting a petrified man, and the second involves helping a drunken boar. The successful completion of these tasks opens a path leading to the Kingdom of Sahali. You’ll face a formidable beetle boss in order to claim this vessel.

• Quests: Man-in-Stone, Drunken Boar Quest.
• Location: Kingdom of Sahali.
• Boss: Giant Beetle.

This vessel stands out for its unique activation effect. It drastically reduces incoming damage for a limited time, providing crucial defense against powerful opponents. While the equipped effect offers a modest boost to damage reduction, the activation effect significantly enhances your survivability in critical situations.

Chapter 4 Vessel: Weaver’s Needle

The Weaver’s Needle isn’t immediately apparent; it demands exploration within the intricate Webbed Hollow. Chapter 4’s Webbed Hollow hides a key encounter with the Venom Daoist. The initial confrontation with the boss might lead to a frustrating retreat, but a subsequent encounter yields a secret path. Venture into the Purple Cloud Mountain to secure this useful tool.

• Location: Webbed Hollow, Purple Cloud Mountain (after Venom Daoist boss defeat).
• Boss: Venom Daoist (multiple encounters).

The Weaver’s Needle features a unique attack: a homing needle that targets enemies like a guided missile. This makes it effective in dealing consistent damage to multiple foes. A secondary benefit includes a modest increase to critical hit chance and damage. This enhanced damage output significantly elevates your combat capabilities, allowing you to inflict greater harm with crucial strikes.

Chapter 5 Vessel: Plantain Fan

Unlike the others, the Plantain Fan isn’t a hidden prize; it’s earned naturally during your main storyline progression within Chapter 5. No side quests are needed. The fan is a reward from Princess Iron Fan, appearing at the chapter’s climactic moment.

• Location: Chapter 5, granted by Princess Iron Fan.

This vessel stands out for its exceptional crowd-control ability. It summons a hurricane that lifts enemies into the air, disrupting their attacks and opening you to decisive strikes. Its secondary benefit, an improvement to stamina recovery, ensures you can keep up the pace of your battles without interruption. When combined with your “A Pluck of Many” ability, you can effectively make your mirror images join in on the attack, dealing powerful consistent damage.

Additional Tips for Using Vessels

Successfully using Vessels in combat requires careful management. They are activated using the “T” key, but each activation consumes a Qi resource, which replenishes slowly. Rest at shrines or waypoints to recover your Qi.

• Activation: “T” key.
• Qi Consumption: Vessels require Qi for activation, replenishing slowly over time.
• Resting: Shrines and waypoints are crucial for replenishing Qi.

Choose the Vessel that best complements your current combat strategy. All vessels provide enduring passive benefits while equipped. Completing your collection will unlock a special achievement, celebrating your mastery of these potent artifacts.

Remember, your journey is enhanced by accessing advanced weaponry and abilities. If you’re seeking a fast-track to higher levels, consider using an external resource like iGV to acquire high-level accounts. This allows you to skip early levels and directly engage with more powerful enemies.
