Black Myth Wukong: Recovering Mana During Combat with Your Gourd

Black Myth Wukong features a dynamic combat system with a strong focus on resource management. Among the most precious resources is Mana, which allows you to use your spells during combat. While resting at shrines or respawning after death can refill your Mana, there's another way to recover Mana during combat using your gourd.

How to Restore Mana During Combat In Black Myth Wukong

To recover Mana while in combat, you'll need to equip your gourd with special items called Jade Essence drink and Turtle Tear soak. These items will help you recover a significant amount of Mana during combat.

How to Get Turtle Tear Soak in Black Myth Wukong

The Turtle Tear soak can be obtained in Chapter 3 after escaping the Pagoda Prison. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to acquire it:

Reaching The North Shore of the Bitter Lake

After escaping the prison, you'll need to defeat Captain Wise-Voice and Kang-Jin Star, and then meet your boar companion, Zhu Bajie. You'll discover that you're on a gigantic turtle who's a friend of Bajie, and they're heading towards Bitter Lake in search of the Turtle's Snake General friend.

To reach the North Shore of the Bitter Lake, follow these steps:

• Head forward until you come across two paths.
• Take the path on the right that follows along the lake with huge bones on it.

Defeat Apramana Bat Boss

As you follow the path, you'll encounter the golden Apramana Bat boss. Defeating this boss isn't too challenging, but be aware of its attacks:

• It will fly off into the air and swoop down.
• It will spin around and cause significant damage.
• It will perform repeated ground slams.
• It can turn into solid gold, deflecting your attacks.

After defeating the boss, examine the bones of the Snake General to trigger a cutscene. The Turtle will mourn its fallen friend, and a tear will drop from its eyes onto the Shore of the Bitter Lake.

Collect the Turtle Tear From the Shore

Backtrack to the North Shore of the Bitter Lake and collect the greenish glow of the tear. It will be added to your inventory.

How to Get Jade Essence Drink in Black Myth Wukong

The Jade Essence drink can be found in the Valley of Ecstasy, in the Towers of Karma Shrine. Here's how to get it:

From the shrine, head left and move forward until you come across an altar. Look behind the stone altar, and you'll find the Jade Essence drink.

You can also interact with the plants on the ground, which will awaken the Old Ginseng Guai boss. Defeating the boss will allow you to acquire its spirit transformation.

Equipping the Items to Your Gourd

To equip the Jade Essence drink and Turtle Tear soak to your gourd, follow these steps:

1. Head to any shrine.
2. Go inside the Brew menu.
3. Equip the Jade Essence drink and Turtle Tear soak to your gourd.

Now, when you're low on Mana during combat, you can drink from your gourd to recover a moderate amount of Mana. If you're at full health, the Turtle Tear soak mana recovery effect will stack on the Jade Essence, granting you a significant amount of Mana.
