Black Myth Wukong Silk Is Easier To Come By Than You Think
Black Myth: Wukong may not technically be a soulslike game, but it shares a lot of DNA with the genre. That includes needing various upgrade materials, necessary for keeping your weapons in tip-top shape as you reach increasingly harder baddies. And for six particular sets of armor, the material youâll need is silk. Silk armor? Ask a spider.

Silk is useful for a lot of your early-game upgrades, which means that itâs rather scarce in the opening hours of the game. However, it will become much more plentiful once you reach Chapter 2, as it begins dropping reasonably often from specific enemies. Hereâs where you can round up Silk the best in each of the first two chapters of Black Myth: Wukong.
Where to get Silk in Chapter 1In the first chapter of the game, you can only purchase two Silk from the shop at the Secret: Ancient Guanyin Temple shrine, once youâve unlocked that area by ringing the three bells throughout the chapter. Donât worry though, as youâll be able to properly farm this material once you reach the next chapter.
Where to get Silk in Chapter 2Chapter 2 provides you with plenty of enemies who can drop Silk. Most notably, the small, standard rat foes everywhere throughout this chapter have a reasonable chance at dropping the material for you. Even better, there are multiple shrines with plenty of these meanies hanging around, so by the time you play through the chapter at a normal pace, you should get most of the Silk you need for your initial upgrades. If you need more, just farm these guys until youâve crafted everything you want.
Unlimited Silk!Later in the game, when youâve unlocked the main hub known as the Zodiac Village, you can purchase unlimited Silk from Yin Tigerâheâs the big tiger wailing on an anvil in the back of the area. Of course, this late in the game, youâre not likely to really need Silk anymore, but itâs nice to have at your disposal if you do.
