How To Unlock New Armor In Black Myth: Wukong
While occasionally players might stumble upon a piece of armor when opening a chest, new armor sets are mostly unlockedafter defeating certain bosses. For example, in Chapter 1, both Guangzhi and Whiteclad Noble bosses reward new garb. The former unlocks the Pilgrim’s armor set and the latter unlocks the Serpentscale armor set.
Each set comes with Unique Effects that buff the Chosen One’s abilities in certain categories. Note that players need to wear the correct number of armor to activate the Unique Effect. For instance, the Pilgrim set possesses theSwift Pilgrim Effectthat allows you to sprint faster if you equip two pieces of the armor set and will also increase attack while sprinting if you equip all four. It’s not always the same number, though, since the Serpentscale requires only three armor pieces to activate its Unique Effect. Some pieces of armor even have an extra effect, like the Pilgrim’s Headband, which alsoallows the use of a Gourdwhile sprinting.
