Black Myth: Wukong - How To Get Yaoguai Cores

As a seasoned adventurer who has traversed countless lands and slain countless beasts, I can attest to the importance of understanding the intricacies of the crafting system in Black Myth: Wukong. The quest for Yaoguai Cores is one that has tested my patience and determination, but with a little perseverance, I’ve learned the ropes.


In Black Myth: Wukong, enhancing your arsenal with freshly made weapons is one of the most effective methods to inflict greater damage. To create these new weapons, gather a variety of resources scattered across the world. Once you’ve defeated the initial bosses, visit the nearest Shrine for crafting purposes.

One key resource players will need to craft new staffs are Yaoguai Cores, which can be fairly rare depending on your play style. They will be needed for many crafting recipes, and players can start farming them early into the game; here’s how to do it.

How To Get Yaoguai Cores In Black Myth: Wukong

You can obtain Yaoguai Cores through three different approaches: opening treasure chests, defeating adversaries, or purchasing them from the store. Acquiring them via treasure chests is uncommon and doesn’t guarantee success; instead, you must consistently explore to locate these chests, which may contain valuable items but not always Yaoguai Cores. The second method involves slaying enemies, but not every enemy will drop a Yaoguai Core.

Many powerful bosses and tougher opponents frequently yield a Yaoguai Core, but it isn’t always certain. These items are typically dropped by enemies that don’t reappear after being defeated, as they are significantly stronger than the average foes in the nearby vicinity. Keep advancing through the game and challenge every boss and additional bosses, and you’ll find a consistent flow of Yaoguai Cores.

The final method is by purchasing them from the shop, though they won’t be immediately available and will require the player to first reach Chapter 2. At any Shrine, Yaoguai Cores can be purchased for 900 Will a piece. While this is a definite method, Will has many other uses and Yaoguai Cores can constantly be found, so it is usually best to leave this as a last resort option.

If you are deciding to spend your Will, it’s best to recover it quickly. Will is given whenever the player defeats an enemy, but can also be found by breaking pots. Pots can be broken with either a basic attack or by sprinting into them, with Will dropping as a small green flame, unlike a Spirit’s Purple flame. You can also find hovering green flames which can be interacted with to refill your Gourd by half and also be a sum of Will to be freely picked up. Will can also be earned by selling things at the shop, just be careful not to sell crafting materials you may need again down the road.

Will is not lost on death and can’t be lost in any way after it is earned.
