In Black Myth: Wukong, Vessels are crucial for enhancing your combat effectiveness. Each Vessel comes with a passive effect that is always active when equipped, and an active effect that can be triggered during battle. However, activating a Vessel consumes all your Qi, making it a powerful but limited tool in your arsenal. Collecting all four Vessels will also unlock the “Treasure Trove” achievement.
