Curios are powerful accessories that you will get to obtain as you make your way through the various challenges in Black Myth Wukong. These will often improve your offensive and defensive capabilities making it much easier for the Destined One to survive longer against the hardest bosses that the game throws at you.
There are several Curios that you will be able to obtain as you make your way through the action-adventure. While some are easy to locate and are rewarded for just completing a section of the main story, others are tucked away behind exploration and often behind secret areas that are unlocked after certain conditions are met.
Here is a list of all the Curios in Black Myth Wukong and where you can get them.
