The Fright Cliffs in Black Myth: Wukong are home to a particular oddity: giant chanting heads made of stone with eyes you can remove. But where are they all and how are they used? Here are the locations of all Buddha's Eyeballs and where to use them in Black Myth: Wukong.

You'll first stumble upon the stone Buddha heads in Chapter Two. After you clear the boss fight against the rat king and prince, you can take the nearby rope and plank bridge to the winding Fright Cliffs just beyond. You'll find your first Buddha head not long after entering. Activating it will reward you with a Buddha's Eyeball, an item that teases it can be "inlaid elsewhere." But where?

Where to find all Buddha's Eyeballs in Black Myth: Wukong

There are six Buddha heads to find in the Fright Cliffs. They're dotted all over the landscape, but thankfully the game makes them easier to find so long as your ears are open.

As you get close, you'll be able to hear chanting emanating from the head. Follow the chants, and the eyeball prize is yours. Sadly, the accessibility options of Black Myth are a bit lacking. As far as I can tell, you can't turn on subtitles for audio effects. Scroll on for our directions on how to find each head and where to take the eyes.

Buddha Head 1

The first Buddha head appears not long after you enter the Fright Cliffs. Find it chilling on the side of the road just before you reach your first Keeper's Shrine in the area.

Buddha Head 2

There are two branching paths you can take from the Keeper's Shrine to find the rest of the heads. For the sake of ease, we'll go through the cave and then come back around.

Take the path to the left of the Keeper's Shrine. Beware of stone enemies that emerge from the ground. Take the entrance with the covered archway ahead of you.

Go deeper until you can hear the Buddha chant to your left. Before you enter the cave properly, look for a path that leads up to a hidden shrine. Here's where you'll find the second head.

Buddha Head 3

Return to the path and head deeper into the cave. Look for the Keeper's Shrine trail of sparkles leading you out of the second cave exit on your right.

Activate the shrine (Rockrest Flat), but keep it in your memory as we're heading back to it twice. Go back to the cave and ascend further inside. There are a lot of enemies in your way, so try and take them on one at a time.

AVOID hitting the massive chunk of stone with the glowing crystals (it's tempting, believe me)! Attacking it will start a hidden boss fight. You can always return later unless you're feeling a bit spicy.

Leave the cave via the exit across from the stone monument. You should be able to hear the chants, but it's easy to spot the third Buddha head from here.

Buddha Head 4

It's time to go back to the Keeper's Shrine we located earlier. It'll be quickest to activate the Incense Trail Talisman in your inventory to warp there instantly. Once you arrive, turn around and head through the opening with wooden planks as flooring.

The path ahead branches off in occasional places. If you don't deviate from the trail, you'll find the fifth Buddha head to your right at the bottom of a rocky cliff.

Buddha Head 5

The fifth Buddha head is across from the last one on top of a large, wooden structure.

Buddha Head 6

Return to the Keeper's Shrine at Rockrest Flat one final time. Just beyond the shrine and slightly to the left is the sixth and final Buddha head.

I left this one last for a reason. To the right of the Buddha's head is a doorway you must enter next. This is where you need to fight the Stone Vanguard boss to get the Sterness of Stone item required for story progression. If you haven't defeated it yet, you're going to need to do so first.

Where to use the Buddha Eyeballs items in Black Myth: Wukong

Once the Stone Vanguard is dusted, you can now place the six Buddha's eyes. Inside the arena just past the entrance is a large, dark-colored stone with faces carved into the rock. If you have all the eyeballs, you'll see an option to "Deliver" them. Do so now, and get ready.

Using the six Buddha Eyeballs in Black Myth: Wukong unlocks a secret boss fight against Shigandang, a massive stone golem-like creature.

It can be a tough fight. The boss uses its fists and feet to knock the wind out of you, while also unleashing area-of-effect attacks by striking the ground. It does move slowly, which should help you to learn its attack pattern.

On defeat, Shigandang rewards you with the Heart of Stone, a Mind Core, a Skandha of Feeling, three Silk, and 1,360 Will.
