For once, Black Myth: Wukong offers you a basic “Fed Ex” quest, consisting of bringing a plant back to the Warthog, in order to unlock access to the secret area of Chapter 2.
Where to find a Jade Lotus?
You should try talking to the Warthog again immediately, since there’s a good chance you already have a Jade Lotus in your inventory. At least, you should if you’ve gotten into the habit of picking up every plant you come across. If you don’t have one, know that the Jade Lotus is a plant that grows on the surface of almost every body of water in the game, starting from the very first chapter. There are even several in the pool you crossed at the beginning of the chapter. Teleport to Village of Portesableto theAltar of the Entrance to the Village. Turn around and head back to the beginning of the chapter and its pond. Lotuses await you among the killer frogs.
This is not currently relevant, but by unlocking Chen Loong’s Zodiac Village, he will be able to regularly give you Jade Lotuses, after giving him the right seeds.
Other uses of the Jade Lotus
If this can motivate you to collect the Jade Lotuses that you will come across in the future, know that they are used in the manufacture of many particularly useful remedies. All those allowing to dispel the elemental Plagues: poison, shock, fire and frost. Suffice to say that these are the most useful, during the majority of the adventure.
