How to Unlock the Brewer's Bounty Achievement in Black Myth…

Black Myth: Wukong is filled to bursting with collectibles and secrets to find. One group of interconnected collectibles you'll find yourself looking out for throughout the Destined One's Journey are those used to improve and modify your healing gourd. With new drinks to fill it with, soaks to add additional properties, and even whole new gourds with their own special properties, tracking every last item down is well worth the trouble.

Of course, completionists will be unsurprised to hear that one of Black Myth: Wukong's achievements tasks you with doing just that, tracking down every single Drink, Soak, and Gourd the game has to offer. This guide contains information about where to find each one of them, linking to dedicated and more detailed guides for the specifics of each.

What Do You Hope To See In Future Black Myth: Wukong DLCs?

Like many others, I would love to see a wide range of new spells, weapons, and gear. However, I would also like a challenge mode. Something from the menu that lets you choose a boss to replay under different conditions. These could change how the fight works, augment what the boss is capable of, and so forth. It could also have gauntlets where you need to defeat all the enemies in an area in a set amount of time. A mode like this could even have weekly and monthly leaderboards.

Collecting every drink in the game will take you until the start of Chapter 6, where you can finally purchase "A Thousand Days Inebriation" from Shen Monkey. Luckily, none of the drinks are missable, though you'll need to fully upgrade the Coconut Wine you start the game with in order to qualify for the achievement (Its final form is "Jade Dew"), which will require you to collect quite a few "Awaken Wine Worms."

Here's a guide to where each Drink can be found, and here's a guide explaining where to get the Awaken Wine Worms you need.

Where to Find Every Soak in Black Myth: Wukong

Soaks are used to add extra properties to your drinks, which can be game-changing in some of the tougher boss fights. Soaks can be found scattered across all six chapters, with some requiring you to get lucky when harvesting ingredients or defeating certain foes. The final two Soaks in the game are acquired by giving Chen Loong every possible seed (Graceful Orchid) and purchasing it from Shen Monkey in New Game Plus (Guanyin's Willow Leaf), respectively.

Here's a full guide to find every Soak in the game.

Where to Find Every Gourd in Black Myth Wukong

Gourds are what you put your drinks in, but they're much more than mere containers. Most of the game's Gourds have a special property that is applied when you drink from them, making your choice of Gourd pretty important as you progress through the game.

Unlocking every Gourd in the game will require you to unlock every last entry in the Journal and enter New Game Plus, making this one of the trickiest parts of earning the Brewer's Bounty Achievement. After entering NG+ and unlocking all Journal Entries, you can purchase the Qing-Tian Gourd from Shen Monkey.

Here's a full guide to finding every Gourd in the game.
