Here’s what you need to know about the item and how to get it.

How to get the Bull King Iron Horn in Black Myth: Wukong

To get the Bull King Iron Horn in Black Myth: Wukong, you have to beat the boss, Bishui Golden-Eyed Beast, in the secret area of Chapter 5. This area can be accessed in this chapter while doing the Pale-Axe Stalwart’s quest.

Once you can start crafting Mythical level gear, you’ll see that this item will be necessary for crafting the Bull King’s set, which grants you the Unyielding Resolve set bonus.

It should be noted that you can only obtain four units of this resource per story playthrough. If you want to craft the whole set, you need to go into New Game Plus and defeat the Bishui Golden-Eyed Beast again. 

At most, you can only craft three of the four pieces of the set in one run. However, there are incentives to run the game again as you’ll unlock additional gear to use in the second playthrough.

Additional uses for the Bull King Iron Horn

Not only will you be able to get an additional four units of this crafting item, but you’ll also unlock the Dark Iron Staff. This Mythical weapon comes from the Cloud-Patterned Stone Staff upgrade tree and will also require the Bull King Iron Horn. 

While not directly part of the set, its unique effect coincides with the armor’s stats. It’ll “considerably” increase your damage based on how much defense you have. So, with the high defense stat the Bull King set has, this weapon is the perfect match for it. 

Now with a full set and potentially the staff to go with it, you can take on the next level of New Game Plus and see how strong this setup can get.
