Black Myth Wukong contains 9 Drink Locations. Finding all of them unlocks the Brews and Barrels achievement (on Steam Only). Collecting all Gourds, Drinks, and Soaks unlocks the Brewer’s Bounty trophy & achievement (PS5/Xbox). The Drinks add different effects to your Gourd, which is used to heal yourself. This gives you more tactical freedom.
You can fast travel between chapters at any time from Keeper’s Shrines. There’s still free-roam after the story. After the endboss you are put back in the Title Screen, here choose to Continue, it will spawn you before the final boss. You can still revisit all places from this point. Just don’t “Enter a New Cycle” in the Title Screen as this starts New Game+ and overwrites your save with no way back.
Other Gourd Items:
- Luojia Fragrant Vines (Gourd Healing Upgrades)
- Awaken Wine Worms (Gourd Healing Upgrades)
- Gourds
- Soaks
Chapter 1: Black Wind Mountain
Drink #1: Coconut Wine
This is the starting drink, in your inventory from the beginning of the game. It changes names to “X-Year-Old Coconut Wine” as you upgrade it using Awaken Wine Worms. The further you upgrade it, the older the Wine will become and it restores more health per use. You upgrade the Gourd at the Shen Monkey NPC found in Chapter 1 > Bamboo Grove > Marsh of White Mist. For the Brews and Barrels trophy (collect all 9 Drinks) you DON’T need to fully upgrade this drink.
