In the first chapter, Black Myth: Wukong players will come across a baboon near Buddha's head. As they get closer, the baboon runs away, leaving behind an object known as Skandha of Form.

Upon picking the item, players will find no immediate use for it. It will remain in their inventory as it cannot do anything on its own.

There are five Skandha in total, and Black Myth: Wukong players need to gather all of them to be able to use them. This guide will cover the location of all five Skandha and what to do with them.

Skandha of Feeling can only be obtained after players collect six Buddha's Eyeballs and put them inside a rock, where they fight the Stone Vanguard. This will summon the Shigandang, and players must defeat it to earn Skandha of Feeling.

Skandha of Consciousness is dropped by the Giant Shigandang, a Yaoguai King located in a rocky area in Chapter 6. Go to the place where you fought the Son of Stones.
