All Weapons in Black Myth Wukong & How to Obtain Them
There are a total of 21 staff weapons that you can obtain throughout each chapter of Black Myth Wukong. While some naturally unlock with story progression, others require a bit more intuition by completing certain sidequests and tackling special boss enemies. Some you can also only obtain via a New Game Plus playthrough.
Also, be aware that many weapons in the game fall under a specific upgrade tree in the Craft menu. So if you don’t have the base weapon required to make a particular upgraded version of it, the option won’t be available.
Below we’ve listed each weapon currently available in-game, how and where to get them, their beneficial stats, and what materials are required to craft them, if applicable.
