Black Myth: Wukongcontains a wide range of useful items that will aid in the Destined One’s journey. One class of unique items are seeds that can be used in the Zodiac Village to grow the many materials needed tocraft Mortal Medicines. There are 15 seed drops in total throughoutBlack Myth(some drops provide two seeds, though) and collecting them all will award players the Seeds to Sow trophy/achievement.
Unfortunately, these seeds drop randomly, and the timers take thirty minutes to reset once the plant is harvested. For this reason, players should harvest any and all materials they come across as they play to avoid the need for farming later on. Below area few recommended locations inBlack Myth: Wukongto acquire each seed typeand a breakdown of what each seed’s material is used to create.
12Aged & Millennium Ginseng Seed
The First Two-For-One Found From A Singular Seed
The Aged Ginseng Seed and Millenium Ginseng Seed are the first two-for-one found from a singular seed,dropped fromOld Ginseng Guai in Chapter 3. The boss can be found near the Towers of Karma shrine in the Valley of Ecstasy by attempting to collect a plant tucked away in an obscure corner of the area.
All Celestial Taiyi Pill Locations In Black Myth: Wukong
Celestial Taiyi Pills are rare items in Black Myth: Wukong that you may collect in various locations to increase your max Mana and cast more spells.
From the shrine, go left toward the sickle weapon enemy and take the path to his right to its terminus to find the plant in front of a statue. Giving this seed toChen Loongin the Zodiac Village awards both Medicine recipes.
90 Will
Aged Ginsengis relatively common, purchasable from early in the game, and can be used to craft Amplification Pellets, Loong Aura Amplification Pellets, and Ginseng Pellets, an extremely useful medicine that generates Focus for thirty seconds.
Cannot be purchased
Millennium Ginsengis much harder to come by without the seed, and is needed to craft the Soul Remigration Pill and Enhanced Ginseng Pellets, an upgraded version of the above that grants considerable Focus on use.
11Celestial Pear Seed
Found By Looking For The Golden Glowing Pears Beginning In Chapter 3
TheCelestial Pear Seedcan be farmed from various locations, found by looking for the golden glowing pears hanging on trees beginning in Chapter 3. A good spot to look in the New West for easy-to-access pear trees isnear the Brook of Bliss in the Valley of Ecstasy.
240 Will (Chapter 3+)
Celestial Pears are used to craft Ascension Powder, Body-Fleeting Powder, and Tonifying Decoction, which boosts maximum Stamina for an extended time. Celestial Pears can also be purchased for 240 Will once the Destined One reaches Chapter 3 in the New West.
10Fire Bellflower Seed
It Can Be Purchased From Shrines For 120 Will
Fire Bellflower Seedscan be farmed most easily in theWoods of Ember in Chapter 5around the Ashen Pass I shrine, where up to five can be collected, or earlier in the story near the Valley of Despair Shrine at Sandgate Village, where three can be picked up.
120 Will
Fire Bellflower can be purchased from shrines for 120 Will and is used to craft Body-Warming Powder, the Septenary Heartfire Pill, and is a necessary component for the Life-Saving Pill,a powerful medicine that recovers full healthand removes all Four Banes effects.
9Fire Date Seed
Used To Craft Ascension Powder And The Septenary Heartfire Pill
TheFire Date Seedwill be a later-game pickup as it’s primarily found in the Flaming Mountains. Players can look for thetrees growing on lava around the Valley Entrance Shrinein Furnace Valley, where seven Fire Dates can be collected - and eventually the Fire Date Seed. This area contains some tough shielded enemies, but most can be avoided.
360 Will (Chapter 5+)
The Fire Date is used to craft Ascension Powder, a Legendary Fortifying Medicine that cancels stamina loss for a short time, and the Septenary Heartfire Pill, a Legendary Reassuring Medicine used to instantly reset Cooldowns for all Spells.
8Fragrant Jade Flower Seed
It Can Be Farmed Every Thirty Minutes
When the Destined One reaches Chapter 4 and comes upon theEstate of Zhu in the Webbed Ridge, a handful of Fragrant Jade Flowers are found in and around the surrounding buildings and can be farmed for theFragrant Jade Flower Seedevery thirty minutes.
Fragrant Jade Flowers can also be bought from any Keeper’s Shrine for 120 Will and are used in Body-Cooling Powder,an Alleviating Medicine that increases Burn Resistance(and comes in handy against theChapter 1 final boss), as well as the Longevity and Essence Decoctions.
7Gentian Seed
Players Can Find Gentian Plants Rather Commonly Throughout The Journey
For theGentian Seed, players can find Gentian plants rather commonly throughout the game and as early as Chapter 1, where they are scattered throughout the Forest of Wolves. However, the best farming location for these isnear the Brook of Bliss Shrine in the Valley of Ecstasy in Chapter 3,with five Gentian plants available.
Gentian can be purchased early on and is required for Fortifying Medicament and Shock-Quelling Powder, which players will want to utilize against the Chapter 2 final boss as it instantly removes the Shock state and enhances Shock resistance.
6Golden Lotus Seed
It Must Be Obtained From A Specific Enemy
TheGolden Lotus Seedis unique in that it must be obtained from a specific enemy, the Golden Lotus Guais found in Chapter 3in the hills around the Warding Temple in the Pagoda Realm. These easily identifiable, worm-like creatures are not very difficult to take down, and doing so can reward the Golden Lotus Seed.
180 Will (Chapter 3+)
Golden Lotus will be available at Keeper’s Shrines once the Destined One reaches Chapter 3, and it is used to make two Reassuring Medicines, the Life-Saving Pill and the Mirage Pill, giving players a boost to Might for their Transformations.
5Jade Lotus Seed
Useful For Crafting Medicines Needed In a Majority Of The Boss Fights
Jade Lotusis a ubiquitous material used in a range of Medicines, primarily those that counter the Four Banes effects - Burn, Shock, Poison, and Chill - as well as the Evil Repelling Medicament, an all-purpose Alleviating Medicine that boosts Damage Reduction for a long time. For that reason, acquiring theJade Lotus Seedwill be useful for crafting Medicines needed in a majority of the boss fights inBlack Myth.
Some excellent farming locations include the Black Wind Cave in Chapter 1 and near the same Brook of Bliss location in Chapter 3 that players searched for Gentian.
4Licorice Seed
Another Material Needed In Many Medicines
Another rather ubiquitous material,Licorice, is needed in many Medicines, including the Evil Repelling Medicament and the Ginseng & Enhanced Ginseng Pellets. It is also a necessary ingredient for the Decoctions, or Enhancing Medicines, that players will use to increase their Health, Stamina, and Mana for a long duration: the Longevity, Tonifying, and Essence Decoctions, respectively.
Licorice plants are purple flowers found around the desert and throughout Chapter 2. Check forLicorice Seednear the Crouching Tiger Temple Entrance, the Village Entrance and the Valley of Despair.
3Nine-Capped & Purple Lingzhi Seed
The Player Must Seek Out The Nine-Capped Lingzhi Boss In Chapter 5
The Nine-Capped & Purple Lingzhi Seed is another combination drop, and once exchanged with Chen Loong, players gain access to both material recipes. For this seed,seek out the Nine-Capped Lingzhi boss in Chapter 5, a hidden enemy that comes out of the ground when the Destined One interacts with a plant next to the Ashen Pass III shrine.
10 Reasons Black Myth: Wukong Deserves GOTY At TGA 2024
Not everyone agrees that Black Myth: Wukong deserves GOTY at The Game Awards, but there are at least ten reasons that make it a top contender.
WhilePurple Lingzhiis purchasable for 90 Will,Nine-Capped Lingzhican only be accessed by gathering theNine-Capped Lingzhi Seed. Both versions of the damage-increasing Tiger Subduing Pellets require Purple Lingzhi, as well as Body-Fleeting Powder and Loong Aura Amplification Pellets.
Nine-Capped Linzhi are much rarer and are used in the creation of both Ascension Powder and one of the best medicines available in the late game, the Soul Remigration Pill, a mythic Reassuring Medicine that “grants resurrection upon deathbefore triggering Life Saving Strand for a long duration.”
Harvesting Nine-Capped Lingzhi at Chen Loong will prove fruitful for this medicine alone, the recipe for which can be bought from Shen Monkey.
