In Black Myth: Wukong, the Destined One has several items for themselves to assist them during the tiring and arduous journey to the West. Every item has its own unique purpose and ability, and from these items, Curios emerge.
Curios are accessories that offer unique and beneficial buffs to the Destined One, ranging from magical prowess to increasing multiple stats. Adding Curios to your inventory can prove to be a significant help in exotic boss battles and an overall boost to your abilities. While most Curios can be discovered through foraging, some of them are locked behind quests and dropped by bosses.
