He can even upgrade your common rarity materials all the way up to Mythical Rarity, meaning every Armor in the game can remain relevant by the endgame. This makes Yin Tiger one of the most important NPCs if you want to maintain your Armor selection choices.
How to Unlock More Curio Slots
Yin Tiger actually lets you increase your Curio Slots as a reward for defeating him along with providing you with his weapon to unlock the Ebon Flow transformation. To increase your Curio Slots, pick the option to Challenge Yin Tiger and then defeat him in what is an incredibly difficult fight. However, the reward is worth it as you can speak to him after the fight to gain an additional Curio slot. Note that you can only do this once per cycle, so completing the game 3 times allows you to increase your Curios slots up to a maximum of 3.
Yin Tiger Boss Fight
you’re able to actually challenge Yin Tiger to a battle making him one of the secret bosses of chapter 3. This fight is one of the hardest so far at this point in the game as Yin Tiger barely gives you any opening to make attacks. Here are some tips and tricks to keep in mind:
After you defeat him, he throws down his weapon and you unlock the Ebon Flowtransformationthat lets you turn into Yin Tiger. This is one of the strongest transformations in the game and holds up in later chapters as well. You get the option to challenge him again but it’s just for practice purposes.
Completing the quest lets you find Yin Tiger, unlock the blacksmithing feature, and the Ebon Flow Transformation spell in Black Myth: Wukong. Upgrading your armor is essential for surviving the game’s toughest challenges, so be sure to take advantage of this valuable NPC’s services. Note that Armor upgrade services automatically become available in New Game Plus.
