Black Myth: Wukong - How To Find& Use Mind Cores

Mind Cores are essential resources in . They can be found at shrines, as boss drops, and occasionally in wooden chests. Mind Cores can be given to Xu Dog at Crouching Tiger Temple from Chapter 2 onward in exchange for Celestial Medicines. Each type of Celestial Medicine upgrades a different stat, such as Maximum Health.

In order to unlock Xu Dog's shop, you'll need to complete his quest at Sandgate Village. Once you kill a giant frog boss for him, you'll be able to meet back up with him in the cellar of Crouching Tiger Temple, accessed via a hatch in the pool of blood. You can then reunite with Xu Dog and start spending your Mind Cores.

Silk is one of the most common crafting materials in Black Myth: Wukong, and gathering it quickly will allow you to craft new armor sets fast.

One of the easiest ways you can collect Mind Cores in is by interacting with shrines at the start of a new chapter. When you enter a new chapter of the game, shrines will offer a few more Mind Cores for your pleasure. You can collect these Mind Cores at any time in the chapter and even wait until a future chapter to collect those previously earned.

A lot of your Mind Cores will come from bosses like Black Bear Guai in . You'll typically get a Mind Core from major story bosses like Captain Wise-Voice and Yellowbrow, and from side quest bosses such as the Scorpionlord or Tiger Vanguard. As such, if you want to collect as many Mind Cores as possible, you'll want to fight every boss in.

If you still need more Mind Cores, you'll occasionally find them inside wooden chests.

In order to craft a new Celestial Medicine in , you'll need to spend one to three Mind Cores with Xu Dog in the cellar of Crouching Tiger Temple. Unlike regular Medicine, you can only make Celestial Medicine with Xu Dog's help. Each Celestial Medicine focuses on a different stat. There are three major Celestial Medicines that boost your three main stats.
