At the start of the third chapter, Black Myth: Wukong introduces the New West, a snow-covered land. As players progress through the chapter, they will explore new areas like the Pagoda Realm and Turtle Island. Turtle Tear is one of the Soaks available in this chapter and requires the player to defeat a boss and interact with a carcass in the Bitter Lake.

The guide below includes information on the Turtle Tear's location and how Black Myth: Wukong players can reach the location of a Keeper's Shrine relatively close to the Giant Turtle itself.

After progressing through the chapter and escaping the Pagoda Realm, you will reach the Warding Temple, where you will fight Macaque Chief again​​​​​. Continue along the main path until you can slide down an ice slope, starting a cutscene. In the cutscene, Kang-Jin Star can be seen talking to someone trapped inside a large container. Your appearance will interrupt their conversation, and you will have to deal with her. Shock-Quelling Powder is a must for this fight, as she can inflict the Shocked status on you in a few attacks.

How To Get Turtle Tear In Black Myth: Wukong

Recovers Mana At Full Health While Using Gourd

After reaching the Keeper's Shrine, players will be accompanied by the Pig. Head right from the Shrine towards the water and follow this path. You will know you are on the right path when you spot several carcasses of giant snakes.

There are a few flying enemies here, but you can ignore them if you wish, as they will not follow you that far.

Keep moving toward the carcasses, and you will arrive at the archway. Head through and approach the main body of the snake when you are interrupted by the Apramana Bat boss. This should be an easy fight, but be sure to bring a few Body-Warming Powder to negate the Chill effect. After defeating the boss, it will fly away, and you can interact with the carcass, initiating a cutscene where the Turtle will shed a tear.

As the cutscene finishes, move over to the Turtle's location. Right below its head, you can find the Turtle Tear. This Soak recovers a moderate amount of Mana when using the gourd at full Health.
