Xu Wu is also known as the “Piercing Assassin” due to its ability to form sharp objects using its rapidly hardening mucus, which also forms a Golden Corneum. You can obtain the material by breaking Xu Wu’s parts, destroying wounds, or carving, each with different drop rates. 

  • Target Rewards – 25%
  • Break Part Rewards (Head)  – 88% 
  • Carves –  23%
  • Wound Destroyed –  50%

In High-Rank, Xu Wu drops Golden Corneum + instead. 

If you are having a tough time defeating Xu Wu, consider using Ice elemental attacks, as it is weak against them. Additionally, Poison status ailments are highly effective against this Cephalopod monster.

You can also obtain Golden Corneum by completing the quests—A Hunter in the Void, Consumer of Void, and The Struggle to Survive.
