Summary
As istraditional for the genre, the new soulslike RPGWuchang: Fallen Feathersfeatures robust itemization. Weapons, armor, jewelry,and upgrades all contributevarious stats and bonuses to the character, allowing players to tailor their own combat builds and change them when necessary.Jade Pendantsare a valuable part of the gear system, each offering unique and potent passive bonuses when equipped. Players can wear up to three Jade Pendants at once inWuchang: Fallen Feathers, combining their effects for the best results.
There are over 30 unique Jade Pendants inWuchang: Fallen Feathers, often found in well-hidden chests across various areas, given to players as quest or boss rewards, or bought from merchants. This list, however, focuses on early-game gear only. Given thatWuchang: Fallen Feathersdoesn’t have exact chapters, for the purposes of this guide,“early game” refers to the first region, Worship’s Rise, whichcan take players over ten hours to fully explore. There are 12 Jade Pendants that players can get while exploring Worship’s Rise, so the Jade Pendants below can be obtainedbefore fighting Commander Honglan and moving to the Cloudspire region.
6Gourd Pendant
Reduces Damage Taken While Below a Certain HP Threshold
TheGourd Pendantis actually the first Jade Pendant that players get inWuchang: Fallen Feathers, but its simple and effective passive bonus stays useful throughout the entire first region. The gourd symbolizes wealth and good health, reflecting this talisman’s effect in combat.
By wearing the Gourd Pendant, players will receive reduced damage from enemies when they are under 30% HP, which can very well be the difference between taking another two extra hits when out of healing items. It’s not too flashy, but a potential life-saver it is.
5Luduan Pendant
Reduces Damage Taken, but Increases Stamina Costs
TheLuduan Pendanthas the severe drawback of increasing Stamina costs for all player actions, so that’s something to consider when choosing to equip it. Given how quickly it’s possible to run out of Stamina inWuchang, andhow hard it is to boost Staminain the game, the Luduan Pendant is a questionable choice for wearing at all times. However, it is recommended touse this amulet when facing hard bossesor elite enemies that players have trouble fighting.
For instance, certain combat builds inWuchang: Fallen Feathersmay use spellsor throwables as their primary damage sources, so they don’t actually need much Stamina for melee attacks. In these conditions, Luduan Pendant grants a reliable source of extra protection that players won’t want to overlook.
4Dracolich Pendant
Reduces Damage Taken and Prevents Beast Roars From Making You Flinch
Another situational but potent Jade Pendant inWuchang: Fallen Feathersis theDracolich Pendant, found atop the Mercury Workshop. The slightly reduced damage is the least interesting part here, although it still makes the talismanuseful for stacking defense bonuseswhen facing tough foes. However, players will want to equip the Dracolich Pendant primarily for the perk that grants immunity to beast roars.
Those who have faced the Gluttonous Monstrosity – Lu Hongliu optional boss know how irritating this ability is, disabling all player actions and requiring some button mashing to break free. Therefore, it’s actually recommended to search the Mercury Workshop for this pendant before engaging in the boss fight against Lu Hongliu for a much smoother encounter. Remember to equip it whenever enemies wield the same type of attacks.
3Fiend-Felling Pendant
Increases Damage Dealt Against Large Enemies
One of the best early-game choices for facing every large boss, theFiend-Felling Pendantis a great damage-boosting amulet for an offensive playstyle that allows players to finish enemies off fast. It’s a shame, though, that to receive it, players need to defeat a large optional boss, Gluttonous Monstrosity – Lu Hongliu, first. That means they can’t use this pendant for an easier fight against this tough opponent.
However, there are many more large foes awaiting players inWuchang: Fallen Feathers, even in the first region, including the menacing Blightweaver – Great Centipede and the terrifying Reborn Treant – Soulwood. It’s best to come prepared and wear this Eight Trigrams-engraved pendant.
2Lifesteal Pendant
Recover Health Upon Defeating Enemies
TheLifesteal Pendantmay look like candy, and it’s quite fitting given this Jade Pendant’s tasty passive effect. It’s one of the most useful talismans for the majority of scenarios that players can get during the initial hours inWuchang. What’s more, it stays potent and relevant to the very end when exploring levels and facing hordes of common foes.
By killing anyone, players will get some HP back, allowing them to save their healing items for longer. Note that this effect isn’t useful when facing bosses or a single elite enemy, so it’s recommended to switch this pendant for something else in those types of one-on-one encounters.
1Twin Infant Pendant
Increases Stamina Recovery Speed
TheTwin Infant Pendantis arguably the best early-game Jade Pendant inWuchang: Fallen Feathers, granting much faster Stamina recovery speed to players — almostlike the legendary Green Turtle TalismaninElden Ring. However, the Twin Infant Pendant is even more useful, given how Stamina works in this game.
Unlike almost every other Stamina-based soulslike, inWuchang, playerscan’t simply throw free points into Enduranceat all times, not to mention that Endurance nodes are pretty rare amid the vast skill tree. This means that it’s typically much harder to maintain Stamina in combat inWuchang, resulting in many scenarios where, after a successful combo attack, players have no Stamina left to evade. This is when the majority of players quickly realize how much of a blessing the Twin Infant Pendant is.
