Mind Cores are a key upgrade resource in Black Myth Wukong which will help improve the base stats of the Destined One. It’s one of the best ways of making progression easier along with getting your hands on the best Armor sets and upgrading the rarity of your weapons.
However, getting Mind Cores is easier said than done, and the resource is not something that you will find in abundance throughout the various chapters of the action adventure.
Here is a guide that goes over how you will be able to easily obtain Mind Cores in Black Myth Wukong.
How to farm Mind Cores in Black Myth Wukong
Here are some of the best ways of getting Mind Cores in Black Myth Wukong:
1) Find and defeat every boss after reaching Chapter 2
Once you reach Chapter 2, one of the best ways of obtaining Mind Cores will be to defeat the various Yaoguai mini-bosses. The best way of finding them all will be to search and explore every part of a region, as well as unlock the various secret areas that the chapter has to offer.
2) Opening rare wooden chests
Another way of obtaining Mind Cores will be to open the rare wooden chests that you find all around the map. Similarly, with the bosses, try to explore every inch of a new region that you enter and you will eventually come across these chests either in the open or tucked away in a hard-to-reach spot.
3) Purchase from the Keeper’s Shrine shop
In the later stages of the game, some of the Keeper’s Shrine will sell Mind Cores as one of the many purchasable resources. However, there will be a limited amount of it that you can buy.
So if you are just a few Mind Cores away from the next upgrade, you might want to opt into spending some Will to buy them.
How to use Mind Cores in Black Myth Wukong
As mentioned, Mind Cores are primarily used to increase the Destined One’s passive skills. You will be able to speak to the NPC in the Cellar of the Yellow Wind Ridge once you get to Chapter 2. The NPC will then turn all of your collected Mind Cores into passive boosts.
The NPC will be found at the Cellar at all times, and as there is a shrine beside him, you will be able to fast-travel to him at any given point. So make sure you are improving your base stats and attributes along with upgrading weapons and armor.
