Black Myth Wukong All Formula Locations (Tattered Pages)

There are 14 Formula Locations in Black Myth Wukong. Collecting all Formulas unlocks the Page Preserver trophy & achievement (all tattered pages). One Formula is exclusive to New Game+. Each Formula unlocks the recipe for a new Medicine, which can be crafted at shrines using herbs you find in the world. The ability to craft Medicine is unlocked when obtaining the first Formula.

Many of the Formulas are bought from the Xu Dog merchant, found in Chapter 2 > Crouching Tiger Temple > Cellar. To the right of this shrine go in the corner of the area and Xu Dog will pop out of a vase. After doing Chen Loong’s questline, Xu Dog will move to Zodiac Village. More formulas become available for purchase at the start of certain story chapters.

The order below is the same as the order in the inventory, after having obtained all medicine. To check which ones you are missing open the Inventory, go to “Ingredients” tab, the formulas will show at the top. It’s recommended to play through the story first, then compare your list against the list below to find what you are missing. After the endboss you are put in the Title Screen, choose the top option “Continue Journey” to keep exploring before starting New Game+.
