Where to get Yaogaui Cores in Black Myth: Wukong

Yaogaui Cores are essential for upgrading weapons in Black Myth: Wukong. If you’re looking to power up but aren’t sure where to find more, here’s everything you need to know about how to get them.

How to get Yaogaui Cores in Black Myth: Wukong

You probably have some sitting in your inventory already, but to get more Yaogaui Cores, all you need to do is slay Yaogaui. Almost all of the enemies you face in Black Myth: Wukong are of Yaogaui origins, which means your natural progression throughout the game should yield you some.

Yaogaui Cores are a rare resource drop, as indicated by their rarity appearance (Blue), which means you likely won’t see one after every single kill. Lowly Yaogaui, like the zombies around Yellow Wind Ridge, have the lowest chance of giving you Yaogaui Cores because they are weak, though. The best way to obtain them en masse is to kill stronger, elite Yaogaui. Generally speaking, the stronger the Yaogaui you purge, the higher the chance it will drop a Yaogaui Core on death.

Yaoguai Cores can also be obtained randomly from looting chests, breaking vases, and bought from the Store for 900 Will. I really don’t recommend wasting the Will on these, though, since they can fairly easily be farmed up with a little time and dedication. However, if you are desperate and in need of them immediately for that next big weapon upgrade, then this is certainly a viable option.

As I mentioned, Yaogaui Cores have a chance to drop from nearly all enemies in the game, so even if you don’t take the time and farm them up, you will undoubtedly get them naturally over time.
