It’s clear that in a game as challenging as Black Myth: Wukong, you’re going to need to heal to get through its toughest fights. The gourd you drink from and your, excuse the redundancy, drink, are very important, and today I am going to teach you how to improve both, because the potion system This ARPG has some peculiarities.
How to upgrade your pumpkin and drink in Black Myth: Wukong
During your adventure through the first major area of the game, Black Wind Mountain, you will come to the Bamboo Forest.

But how does this system work?

The pumpkins These are what will dictate how many uses of medicine you have in your fights. You’ll find several of these, and some even have unique properties (for example, Jade Lotus also increases healing to your nearby replicas).
The number of uses of pumpkins is measured individually (i.e. you can upgrade either your Healing Gourd or Jade Gourd, and these upgrades will not transfer from one to the other). These are done with the item Luojia Fragrant Gourda resource that you will find throughout your adventure but that is quite rare.
Now, Monkey Shen also offers you the option of improve your drinksand this is the other pillar of your cures. The wines you get will determine how many hit points does it heal each potion. Again, you’ll have different types of drinks to upgrade, but these will grow in effectiveness using the Awakened Oenophile Worm item. Again, this is a rather strange item.
