Summary
- Wuchang: Fallen Feathers offers robust itemization, including valuable Jade Pendants that provide unique passive bonuses.

As is traditional for the genre, the new soulslike RPG Wuchang: Fallen Feathers features robust itemization. Weapons, armor, jewelry, and upgrades all contribute various stats and bonuses to the character, allowing players to tailor their own combat builds and change them when necessary. Jade Pendants are a valuable part of the gear system, each offering unique and potent passive bonuses when equipped. Players can wear up to three Jade Pendants at once in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, combining their effects for the best results.
There are over 30 unique Jade Pendants in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, often found in well-hidden chests across various areas, given to players as quest or boss rewards, or bought from merchants. This list, however, focuses on early-game gear only. Given that Wuchang: Fallen Feathers doesn't have exact chapters, for the purposes of this guide, “early game” refers to the first region, Worship's Rise, which can take players over ten hours to fully explore. There are 12 Jade Pendants that players can get while exploring Worship's Rise, so the Jade Pendants below can be obtained before fighting Commander Honglan and moving to the Cloudspire region.
Wuchang Fallen Feathers: 7 Optional Things You Should Do In The Early Game
There's more to Wuchang Fallen Feathers than just bosses and combat if players are cautious and explore their surroundings.
6 Gourd Pendant
Reduces Damage Taken While Below a Certain HP Threshold
- How to get: Dropped by a non-boss enemy with a shield near Reverent Temple (unmissable).
The Gourd Pendant is actually the first Jade Pendant that players get in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, but its simple and effective passive bonus stays useful throughout the entire first region. The gourd symbolizes wealth and good health, reflecting this talisman's effect in combat.
By wearing the Gourd Pendant, players will receive reduced damage from enemies when they are under 30% HP, which can very well be the difference between taking another two extra hits when out of healing items. It's not too flashy, but a potential life-saver it is.
5 Luduan Pendant
Reduces Damage Taken, but Increases Stamina Costs
- How to get: Received as a reward from Yu Xia in Reverent Temple after delivering the Bloodstained Letter from Shu Sanctum to her.
The Luduan Pendant has the severe drawback of increasing Stamina costs for all player actions, so that's something to consider when choosing to equip it. Given how quickly it's possible to run out of Stamina in Wuchang, and how hard it is to boost Stamina in the game, the Luduan Pendant is a questionable choice for wearing at all times. However, it is recommended to use this amulet when facing hard bosses or elite enemies that players have trouble fighting.
7 Things Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Does Better Than Other Soulslikes
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a brand-new action RPG inspired by Chinese history, and there are a few ways that it improves on the Soulslike genre.
For instance, certain combat builds in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers may use spells or throwables as their primary damage sources, so they don't actually need much Stamina for melee attacks. In these conditions, Luduan Pendant grants a reliable source of extra protection that players won't want to overlook.
4 Dracolich Pendant
Reduces Damage Taken and Prevents Beast Roars From Making You Flinch
- Where to find: In a chest at the very top of the Mercury Workshop location. Search for a ladder leading upstairs from the level beneath the shrine.
Another situational but potent Jade Pendant in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is the Dracolich Pendant, found atop the Mercury Workshop. The slightly reduced damage is the least interesting part here, although it still makes the talisman useful for stacking defense bonuses when facing tough foes. However, players will want to equip the Dracolich Pendant primarily for the perk that grants immunity to beast roars.
Those who have faced the Gluttonous Monstrosity – Lu Hongliu optional boss know how irritating this ability is, disabling all player actions and requiring some button mashing to break free. Therefore, it's actually recommended to search the Mercury Workshop for this pendant before engaging in the boss fight against Lu Hongliu for a much smoother encounter. Remember to equip it whenever enemies wield the same type of attacks.
3 Fiend-Felling Pendant
Increases Damage Dealt Against Large Enemies
- How to get: Buy for 3,000 Red Mercury from Tao Qing in Shu Sanctum after defeating Gluttonous Monstrosity – Lu Hongliu.
One of the best early-game choices for facing every large boss, the Fiend-Felling Pendant is a great damage-boosting amulet for an offensive playstyle that allows players to finish enemies off fast. It's a shame, though, that to receive it, players need to defeat a large optional boss, Gluttonous Monstrosity – Lu Hongliu, first. That means they can't use this pendant for an easier fight against this tough opponent.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers - Every Weapon Type, Ranked
All five weapon types in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers are strong, but not all of them are easy to use.
However, there are many more large foes awaiting players in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, even in the first region, including the menacing Blightweaver – Great Centipede and the terrifying Reborn Treant – Soulwood. It's best to come prepared and wear this Eight Trigrams-engraved pendant.
2 Lifesteal Pendant
Recover Health Upon Defeating Enemies
- How to get: Buy for 4,100 Red Mercury from Tao Qing in Shu Sanctum after defeating Reborn Treant – Soulwood.
The Lifesteal Pendant may look like candy, and it's quite fitting given this Jade Pendant's tasty passive effect. It's one of the most useful talismans for the majority of scenarios that players can get during the initial hours in Wuchang. What's more, it stays potent and relevant to the very end when exploring levels and facing hordes of common foes.
By killing anyone, players will get some HP back, allowing them to save their healing items for longer. Note that this effect isn't useful when facing bosses or a single elite enemy, so it's recommended to switch this pendant for something else in those types of one-on-one encounters.
1 Twin Infant Pendant
Increases Stamina Recovery Speed
- Where to find: On the corpse located at the very bottom of the Mercury Workshop location.
The Twin Infant Pendant is arguably the best early-game Jade Pendant in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, granting much faster Stamina recovery speed to players — almost like the legendary Green Turtle Talisman in Elden Ring. However, the Twin Infant Pendant is even more useful, given how Stamina works in this game.
6 Best Early Weapon Benedictions In Wuchang Fallen Feathers, Ranked
Here are the best weapon upgrades that players can find across the first region, Worship's Rise, in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers.
Unlike almost every other Stamina-based soulslike, in Wuchang, players can't simply throw free points into Endurance at all times, not to mention that Endurance nodes are pretty rare amid the vast skill tree. This means that it's typically much harder to maintain Stamina in combat in Wuchang, resulting in many scenarios where, after a successful combo attack, players have no Stamina left to evade. This is when the majority of players quickly realize how much of a blessing the Twin Infant Pendant is.
