Black Myth Wukong All Armor Locations

Black Myth Wukong contains 78 Armor Pieces. Completing all Armor Sets unlocks the Mantled with Might trophy & achievement. Each Armor Set is has 4 pieces: Headgear, Body, Arms, and Legs. Most armor pieces can be crafted at Shrines after reaching a new story chapter or after defeating specific bosses. A few pieces are random drops from enemies, which require killing these enemies repeatedly until they drop the armor. The following list has everything in the same order as the in-game inventory.

Recommended Use: It’s recommended to play through the story first, this will unlock most armors 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 armor. 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 everything completely. 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++. In New Game+ you’ll need to redo practically everything, especially all the Secret Area bosses which give unique crafting materials.

Note that Wukong’s Armor exists twice, both sets have the same name but different stats. Both versions are needed for the trophy. One copy comes automatically from chapter 6 story progression (unmissable), the other copy is found inside a hidden chest in chapter 6 (Headgear #19, Body #19, Arms #20, Legs #17).

Missable Warning: The armor piece “Venomous Armguard” is missable. In Chapter 4 you have to destroy the arms of the boss “Venom Daoist”. If you kill him before destroying his arms you won’t get this. It can still be done in New Game+.
