Where to Use Buddha’s Eyeballs in Black Myth: Wukong
Discover six Buddha’s Eyeballs in Black Myth: Wukong, all tucked away in Chapter 2: Yellow Wind Ridge, specifically in the Fright Cliff area of this region. Follow these steps to reach the area:
- Start from the first shrine in Sandgate Village: Village Entrance, then head right and open the gate at the yard.
- Defeat the Second Rat Prince boss to unlock the Valley of Despair shrine nearby.
- Skip the tunnel near the shrine and instead traverse the plateau to the opposite side and cross the bridge.
- Continue along the path until you reach the Fright Cliff area and spot the Squall Hideout shrine.
Buddha’s Eyeball No. 1
The Buddha’s Eyeballs in Black Myth: Wukong are derived from the giant Buddha statue heads scattered along the wayside, often accompanied by chanting as an audio cue. The first eyeball is near the Squall Hideout shrine, visible upon backtracking along the roadside.
Buddha’s Eyeball Nos. 2 and 3
Locate the next two Buddha’s Eyeballs near the Squall Hideout shrine by veering right and following the ridge. One awaits on a wooden platform while the other is guarded by rat enemies on the opposite side.
Buddha’s Eyeball No. 4
To claim the fourth Buddha’s Eyeball, venture into the cavern beyond the Squall Hideout shrine, sticking to the left path until you reach a statue head next to an altar at the summit. Beware of the venomous Poisestone enemies along the way.
Buddha’s Eyeball No. 5
Continue forward past the cavern to find another Buddha’s Eyeball near the Rockrest Flat shrine. Look left at the next open area to spot the statue head on the ground.
Buddha’s Eyeball No. 6
Head towards the narrow tunnel near the Rockrest Flat shrine to secure the final Buddha’s Eyeball, amidst Poisestone enemies and a formidable Mother of Stone miniboss with glowing crystals. Collect the item from the cliffside at the tunnel’s end.
Boss: Stone Vanguard
Prior to using the Buddha’s Eyeballs, face off against the Stone Vanguard. Find this miniboss at a clearing to the left of the Rockrest Flat shrine, and navigate its powerful attacks to earn rewards like the Mind Core and Sternness of Stone.
Secret Boss: Shigandang – Using the Buddha’s Eyeballs
Discover the secret boss, Shigandang, by interacting with the rock formation near the Stone Vanguard’s arena. Engage in a challenging battle with this golem to gain rewards like the Heart of Stone, Skandha of Feeling, and the “Om Mani Padme Hum” achievement.
