Black Myth: Wukong is finally here, allowing players to dive into an incredible adventure filled with epic bosses, stunning environments, and hidden secrets from a legendary past. If you pre-ordered the game or opted for the deluxe version, you might be wondering how to access the additional DLC items that come with it.
This guide will walk you through how to claim these special bonuses and using them in-game to enhance your experience.
Players who purchased the deluxe edition of Black Myth: Wukong or preordered the game will receive several useful items that can be equipped early on. These include:
- Bronze Cloud Staff: A powerful weapon.
- Wind Chime: A curio that boosts movement speed.
- Trailblazer’s Scarlet Gourd: A pre-order exclusive item.
- Folk Opera Mask
- Folk Opera Almsgiving Armor
- Folk Opera Leather Bracers
- Folk Opera Buskins
These items not only look fantastic but also provide useful boosts, such as gaining “Will” (a resource) when defeating enemies, which can help you get a better grasp of the game’s mechanics.
Where and How to Access DLC Items
When you first start Black Myth: Wukong, the game immediately throws you into a visually stunning and intense boss fight in the sky. After the fight, you’ll enter the main gameplay and tutorial section where you’ll begin to learn the combat basics.
Once you defeat a few enemies and progress through the jungle, you’ll eventually encounter a golden path that leads you to your first Keeper’s Shrine.
These shrines act similarly to bonfires in other games, allowing you to rest, save, and access various options like leveling up or crafting. Once you’ve reached the Keeper’s Shrine after meeting the Keeper of Black Wind Mountain, you’ll unlock the option to select the Trailblazer’s Gift.
This will bring up a menu where all the DLC items will be listed, including the Bronze Cloud Staff, Folk Opera equipment, and more.
Once you’ve claimed your DLC items from the Keeper’s Shrine, you can easily equip them by heading to the Equipment menu. From there, you’ll be able to select the items and instantly see their effects in the game.
Why These Items Are Useful?
The Folk Opera set, while it doesn’t offer a massive defense boost, provides moderate “Will” gain when you defeat enemies, giving you an edge early in the game.
The Wind Chime curio, which increases movement speed, is also particularly useful for getting around quickly. However, it’s important to note that these items are most beneficial in the early hours of gameplay. As you encounter tougher bosses later on, you may find yourself switching to more advanced equipment.
Accessing your DLC items in Black Myth: Wukong is straightforward once you know where to look. By following the golden path to the Keeper’s Shrine and selecting the Trailblazer’s Gift, you can easily claim these exclusive bonuses and start using them right away.
While they may not carry you through the entire game, these items will certainly give you an advantage as you get familiar with the combat and mechanics of this exciting journey. Be sure to equip your items as soon as you claim them to make the most of your Black Myth: Wukong experience!
