Black Myth: Wukong features 19 unique headgear items with various stats and perks. Here are the strongest options players can obtain.
Like most action-RPGs, Black Myth: Wukong offers a variety of gear for players to equip. Among these are a variety of helmets and masks that the Destined One can craft, upgrade, and wear throughout his journey. To unlock the ability to upgrade armor with rare materials, players need to reach Zodiac Village in Chapter Three and meet the Yin Tiger blacksmith.
There are 19 different headgear items in Black Myth: Wukong, each varying in quality. However, helmets that are not part of a full set cannot be upgraded by the blacksmith. As a result, some unique and powerful rare gear may eventually be outclassed by more potent new sets. Additionally, not all armor or headgear provides unique effects, though some offer bonuses that can be quite useful. Below are some of the best headgear items with individual bonuses (meaning they work even without the full armor set) that players can obtain in Black Myth: Wukong. 6 Earth Spirit Cap
Available in Chapter Five
Slowly reduces HP, but massively increases Health recovery when using Gourd.
Guaranteed mini-boss drop
Non-Upgradeable
The Earth Spirit Cap is a unique piece of headgear in Black Myth: Wukong that isn’t part of any set, yet it stands strong on its own, particularly in specific encounters. This helm boasts high Poison resistance and features a unique effect that significantly increases Health recovery when drinking from a Gourd. This ability can be a lifesaver when players need to quickly replenish their HP in the heat of battle. However, the Earth Spirit Cap is not upgradable, and it slowly drains the Destined One’s HP while equipped.
Visually, it’s one of the weirdest-looking headgear items in the game, giving the Destined One a massive, somewhat shapeless mushroom crown. Players can acquire the Earth Spirit Cap in Chapter Five: Golden Child, Crimson Blood. It’s a guaranteed drop from the Nine-Capped Lingzhi Guai mini-boss, which disguises itself as a mushroom. The closest Keeper’s Shrine is Field of Fire — Ashen Path III. 5 Golden Mask Of Fury
Available in Chapter Four
Upon successful hits from Spirit skills, grants massive Focus upon reverting.
Part of the Golden Set
Upgradeable
The Golden Mask of Fury is perfect for players who favor Spirit attacks that require Qi to activate.
