Explore the New Medicine, Drinks, and Soaks in Black Myth: Wukong Patch
Unlock the Robust Antler Soak & The Glimmering Scale Pellets Formula
Among the exciting new rare treasures introduced in the Gauntlet of Legends is a Medicine and its corresponding Formula, known as the Glimmering Scale Pellets. This specialized medicine slightly boosts the damage of all Four Banes for an extended duration after consumption. The update also brings two new Soaks, both centered around Mana, a resource that veteran players will recognize as often scarce, especially within the challenging modes. The Frost-Enduring Chrysanthemum significantly restores Stamina if consumed when the Destined One is low on Mana, while the Robust Antler provides an attack boost when the Destined One exhausts their Mana.

Sour Wine does have some drawbacks, particularly regarding its stamina consumption and health restoration, but the advantages it offers—notably the significant increase in damage for heavy and staff-spinning attacks— may very well outweigh these negatives. This combination of new Soaks, Drinks, and Medicine provides players with exciting new avenues to explore while crafting their strategies for Challenge mode.
