Awaken Wine Worm is an upgrade material that players can find throughout the chapters in Black Myth: Wukong. This material is used to upgrade some of the Drinks, making them heal more. Players can go to the Shen Monkey for the upgrades and check out which Drinks can be upgraded. These Wine Worms are inside glowing pots that players can attack or roll through to acquire.

Collecting these Wine Worms is unnecessary, especially if players are not using Coconut Wine or Lambbrew. This guide includes the location of all the Awaken Wine Worms and what the closest Keeper's Shrine to them is.
