How to cure poison in Black Myth: Wukong

Poison is a devastating status effect in Black Myth: Wukong that can completely end your run if not treated promptly. Thankfully, there is a relatively easy way to deal with it, though it’s not exactly free.

How to heal Poison in Black Myth: Wukong

The simplest way to deal with the Poison status and its build-up is to consume Antimiasma Powder. This is medicine that you can craft in Black Myth: Wukong, through any shrine location you can Rest at. The powder is a one-time use, as expected, but you can craft it as needed so long as you have the required materials.

In order to craft Antmiasma Powder, you need one Tree Pearl and one Jade Lotus. Both of these materials are of the Uncommon rarity (Green), meaning they can be found just by exploring the world of Black Myth: Wukong. Chances are, if you’re reading this guide, you probably already have a decent amount of both materials. If you don’t, though, here’s where you can find them both.

• Jade Lotus – Found in Black Wind Mountain and Yellow Wind Ridge regions
• Tree Pearl – Found in Pagoda Realm region

While there may be other spots in Black Myth: Wukong where these materials can be found, these two locations are the most reliable for gathering both, ensuring you can craft the Antimiasma Powder needed to fend off poison death. Each full craft yields a single Antimiasma Powder, so it’s wise to collect a healthy amount of these materials for regular use.

Antimiasma Powder can also randomly be found while you’re exploring, but don’t expect to be a common pick-up by any means, despite its rarity appearance (Green). Just treat it like a lucky break if you happen upon one. In most cases, you’ll simply have to craft Antimiasma Powder if you’re looking to cure any poison effects on yourself.

How to prevent the Poisoned status effect in Black Myth: Wukong

Of course, the best way to prevent being Poisoned altogether is to ensure you’re wearing Poison Resistance gear when facing poisonous foes. The Serpentscale Bracers, for example, have some Poison Resistance on them as a stat, which can save you from being Poisoned.

Additionally, Spirits like Guangmou dramatically boost your resistance to Poison, which can be a total lifesaver when you least expect it. Upgrading Guangmou also boosts your ability to inflict the Poisoned status on enemies through cost reductions, which can fit well with a build focused around that damage type—a double whammy.
