You'll come across Xu Dog for the first time in Chapter 2 near the Village Entrance Keeper's Shrine in Sandgate Village . From this point, drop from the wooden bridge to your right to the gorge below to find Xu Dog in a cave with foxes painted near its entrance.

As it is based on the 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West , Game Science's action RPG Black Myth: Wukong is filled to the brim with Eastern mythology. At the heart of its mythological world are the yaoguai, a class of creatures known for their supernatural abilities and often bizarre, otherworldly appearances. As players make their way through the elaborate world of Black Myth: Wukong , they will encounter dozens of yaoguais, some of whom will help the game's protagonist, the Destined One, but many of whom will be his enemies. There are yaoguais around every corner of different sizes, forms, and strengths, and they all find their origins and inspiration in the soil of Chinese mythology, folk tales, and literat

There are also several secrets to progress in Black Myth: Wukong , should players find themselves stuck or in need of a helping hand. For instance, absorbing a Spirit or Will Wisp in Black Myth Wukong updates Myth: Wukong will also refill the Gourd, which is used for healing. As such, players should use their Gourd to heal themselves before absorbing a Spirit or Will Wisp to take full advantage of the bonus eff

The Steel Ginseng Soak grants you focus whenever you take a sip, helping you to pull out variable combos and heavy attacks more frequently. That said, you're pretty unlikely to need this in most situations since the Destined One gains focus pretty quickly anyway, as long as you're dodging with good timing and landing some light combos.

The Copper Pill Soak can be found after defeating the Tiger Vanguard. You can find it in a container just down the path past the Tiger Vanguard Boss Room. (You can't miss it, it's the one with the blood pool) Take out the rat with the shield nearby and pop open the golden container to nab the Copper Pill .

Black Myth: Wukong can somewhat be considered a Soulslike due to the many bosses spread around the world , the combat mechanics being heavily based on dodging, the lack of an option to adjust the difficulty, and the overall concept of the g

Yaoguais toe the line between being human and non-human in their appearance and stature. Generally written into stories as antagonists, their existence is largely inspired by the fear of the unknown. Every enemy and boss in Black Myth: Wukong is a yaoguai that possesses supernatural abilities like shapeshifting , creating illusions, and causing disease or poisoning, and each of them takes on a form that is a blend of both the natural and the unnatural. Very infrequently are they the protagonists of a story, except characters like Sun Wukong, the Monkey King from Journey to the West who Black Myth: Wukong 's Destined One is based on and who is also technically a yaoguai himself — though he is known to use the term in a derogatory manner to insult his f

Talking to Xu Dog again **unlocks the option to "Make Medicines - Celestial Medicines" when interacting with the NPC ** . You can't make Celestial Medicines at a Keeper's Shrine like regular ones, as the furnace Xu Dog found is the only device that can properly make them.

Once you complete the quest, you will be able to purchase the Goldflora Hairpin Curio from the Man-in-Stone himself for 12,800 Will. While this may seem expensive, using the Curio will easily make back the cost just by taking out a few enemies or possibly from a single boss k
