Discover all six Buddha’s Eyeball locations in Black Myth: Wukong and unlock the secret boss, Shigandang, with this guide.
In Black Myth: Wukong, Chapter 2 takes you to the Fright Cliff area, where six Buddha’s Eyeballs are hidden. These eyeballs are found inside Buddha head statues scattered throughout the region. Collecting all six Buddha’s Eyeballs and knowing where to place them unlocks a secret boss.
Here’s a detailed guide to finding each Buddha’s Eyeball and what to do with them in Black Myth: Wukong.
Fright Cliff in Black Myth: Wukong is a challenging area, but it’s crucial to find all six Buddha’s Eyeballs to unlock the secret boss, Shigandang.
Each Buddha’s Eyeball is hidden inside a Buddha head statue. The statues chant as you approach, helping you locate them.
Below are the exact locations of each Buddha’s Eyeball:
The first Buddha’s Eyeball is easy to find. As soon as you enter the Fright Cliff area, near the “Squall Hideout” Shrine, look for a Buddha head statue a few meters away.
The chanting will guide you to it. Interact with the statue to retrieve the first eyeball.
For the second Buddha’s Eyeball, start at the same “Squall Hideout” Shrine. This time, take the left-hand path leading into a cave. Inside, you’ll notice a statue of a crouching man. Move around it to find a dimly lit shrine area.
There, you’ll see another Buddha head statue chanting, holding the second Buddha’s Eyeball.
The third Buddha’s Eyeball is located a bit further from the “Squall Hideout” Shrine.
Take the right-hand path, and you’ll encounter three paths: a high path to the left, a low middle path, and another high path on the right guarded by enemies. Take the rightmost path and continue up the stairs.
After defeating the enemies, you’ll find the Buddha head statue on the wooden platforms. Grab the third Buddha’s Eyeball here.
To find the fourth Buddha’s Eyeball, take the leftmost path from the “Squall Hideout” Shrine. This path hugs the cliffside. Continue straight, and about halfway along, you’ll spot a Buddha head statue resting on the ground to your left.
The chanting will help you locate it, allowing you to retrieve the fourth Buddha’s Eyeball.
The fifth Buddha’s Eyeball is inside a cave that’s also accessible from the central cave in Fright Cliff. Start from where the fourth Buddha’s Eyeball was found.
This time, follow the path to the cave’s end and turn left into the cave before meeting the shield-wielding Spearbone enemy. Inside, turn right towards the exit but instead, take the upper path. If you haven’t fought the Mother of Stones boss, this is the place.
On the right-hand side, you’ll find a balcony where the fifth Buddha’s Eyeball awaits.
The sixth and final Buddha’s Eyeball is located near the “Rockrest Flat” Shrine, which is at the end of the central cave in Fright Cliff.
From this shrine, turn left and walk a short distance. You’ll find a Buddha head statue close to the cliff wall, holding the last Buddha’s Eyeball.
After gathering all six Buddha’s Eyeballs, the next step is to take them to the Stone Vanguard boss arena. This area is close to the location of the sixth Buddha’s Eyeball. From the “Rockrest Flat” Shrine, take the left-hand path and make the first left turn into the arena.
If you haven’t already defeated the Stone Vanguard Yaoguai, take it down first. Afterward, look for a large boulder near the entrance of the arena. Approach the boulder, and you’ll see an option to insert all six Buddha’s Eyeballs.
Doing so will bring the boulder to life, transforming it into the secret boss, Shigandang.
Shigandang is a formidable opponent with slow yet powerful attacks. It uses shockwaves and area-of-effect moves that require precise timing to dodge.
Keep an eye out for its massive area attack, which rends the ground, and another move that summons delayed rock pillars.
Defeating Shigandang rewards you with two unique items:
Finding all six Buddha’s Eyeballs in Black Myth: Wukong’s Fright Cliff area is key to unlocking the secret boss Shigandang. The journey is filled with challenges, but the rewards make it worth the effort.
Use this guide to locate each Buddha’s Eyeball and conquer the hidden boss for unique items that will aid you in your quest.
