As players enter Black Myth: Wukong' s later chapters, the quality of gear begins to drastically improve. In Chapter 5, players will have the chance to craft the Legendary Staff of Blazing Karma, one of several incredibly powerful late-game weapons. However, in order to create this weapon, players will need to find three Samadhi Fire Crystals. This rare crafting material can only be acquired by defeating three specific mini-bosses in Chapter 5. This guide will show players how to get all three Samadahi Fire Crystals, and how to craft the Staff of Blazing Karma.
Black Myth: Wukong— 7 Hardest Trophies (&How To Get Them)
Black Myth: Wukong players could end up spending hours trying to get these trophies.
Where to Find Samadhi Fire Crystals in Black Myth: Wukong
To get Samadhi Fire Crystals, the Destined One must defeat three specific bosses. All three of these enemies are found in Chapter 5. The bosses are:
Each boss will drop one Samadhi Fire Crystal along with any other rewards. What may not be obvious from all the names is that these enemies are all fire-based, each relying on flame in some form to overwhelm the Destined One. Consider using any armor you possess with Burn Resistance, and bring or craft Body-Cooling Powder.
Where to Find the Flint Chief in Black Myth: Wukong
The Flint Chief will be the first enemy encountered that drops a 
Samadhi Fire Crystal. To find it, players will want to start from the Valley Entrance shrine in the Furnace Valley. You will want to follow the main path towards the large lava waterfall in the distance. Follow the path until you see a very small rock bridge that crosses over a small channel of lava. You will want to drop into the lava and turn left under the rock channel, but make sure that you have the 
Fireproof Mantle, as it allows you to walk on lava without being burnt.
After crossing under the rock bridge, continue following the lava until you see a small stream of lava falling from above. There will be a 
Fire Date tree just before it. As you pass the tree, the Flint Vanguard will begin to form in front of you. The Flint Chief uses brute force, and mainly attacks with its arms. Focusing on the arms can destroy them, doing considerable damage. With the upgraded weapons and armor you should have at this point, the fight should not be that difficult. Defeating the Flint Chief will award you the first Samadhi Fire Crystal.

Where to Find the Flint Vanguard in Black Myth: Wukong
Before proceeding down the hill to face the Flint Vanguard, check your inventory and make sure you have at least four 
Flame Ore. You will need it for the Mother of Flamlings, which is found close to the Flint Vanguard. If you do not have any, purchase them from a Keeper's Shrine before heading down the hill.
To find the Flint Vanguard, you must first progress past the large Iron ball that later is revealed to be 
Top Takes Bottom, Bottom Takes Top. You simply need to stay out of its way, moving from safe space to safe space along the side of the path. Eventually, you'll reach a cutscene that negates the large ball and opens up a new path leading to the Cooling Slope area. To reach this area, you can start from either Ashen Pass III, or the Fallen Furnace Crater shrine. All this changes is which direction you come from.
WHichever shrine you choose, head back along the path that the Iron Ball originally traveled. You'll remember that there was originally a large wall of fire that blocked off an area along the path. Once the Plantain Fan is revealed, and the Iron Ball removed, this wall of fire is no longer present. Coming from Ashen Pass III, you'll turn right where the fire wall used to be. Coming from Fallen Furnace Crater, you'll turn left.
Make your way down the slope, and you'll see a Luojia Fragrant Vine on the left. Continue past this until you spot a group of gray rocks. They stick out from the black rocks in the area. Approach the rocks and they will form into the Flint Vanguard. This enemy is essentially a flame-based Stone Vanguard. It will slam its upper body into the ground, causing large lava explosions to erupt around its body. For this reason, you'll want to avoid staying close to the Flint Vanguard for long periods. It's fairly slow, so you can get in, attack, and get out fairly quickly. Unfortunately, the Fireproof Mantle will not block all damage from the lava here, but it does help. Stay patient, and you will defeat the enemy, earning the second Samadhi Fire Crystal.
Black Myth: Wukong - How to Beat Fuban
Fuban is a giant beetle hidden in Chapter 2 of Black Myth Wukong. Here's how you can defeat him.
Where to Find the Mother of Flamlings in Black Myth: Wukong
After defeating the 
Flint Vanguard, you will not have to go far to find the 
Mother of Flamlings. Stick to the right side of the open area, and you'll find a path that leads further down. You'll pass several fire-based rock enemies before encountering several Flamlings. If you did not get Flame Ore, you can try to get it from the Flamlings. Keep going until you see an orange glowing area on the ground. As you approach it, you'll see that you can interact with it. This is where you'll need to deposit four Flame Ore to summon the Mother of Flamlings.
This enemy is essentially just a large Flamling, so the fight is not too difficult. As you whittle her health down, she will summon a large circle of basic Flamlings to attack you with fireballs. Keep an eye on them, as the fire can take you out faster than you might expect. However, if you take out the Flamlings quickly, the fight with the Mother of Flamlings will not be difficult. Defeating her will award you the final Samadhi Fire Crystal, and the ability to craft a staff that is tragically slept on, rivaling the best weapons in Black Myth: Wukong.
How to Craft the Staff of Blazing Karma in Black Myth: Wukong
Once players collect all three Samadhi Fire Crystals, they'll be ready to craft the 
Staff of Blazing Karma. This Legendary staff is located on a tree with only one other weapon, so you won't have to worry about crafting multiple staffs that come before it first, making the process slightly less difficult.
