Check out how you can get your hands on the Five Skandhas Pill and significantly boost your stats in Black Myth: Wukong.
The Five Skandhas Pill is a powerful Celestial Medicine in Black Myth: Wukong. This unique Pill can boost your character’s health, stamina, and mana all at once. However, it will be a while before you can obtain the Five Skandhas Pill in the game.
The item can be acquired by engaging in a quest that spans the entirety of the game, with the quest concluding in Chapter 6. Before that, you will have to acquire other items known as Skandhas on your journey through Black Myth: Wukong.
With that said, here’s how you can find the Skandhas and use them to make the Five Skandhas Pill in Black Myth: Wukong.
All Skandha Locations in Black Myth: Wukong
There are a total of five Skandhas that can be found in five of the six main story chapters. Given below is a full list of all five Skandhas and where you can find them in the game:
Chapter 1 – Skandha of Form
The very first Skandha in Black Myth: Wukong is located close to the Front Hills Keeper’s Shrine, the very first Shrine you find in the game. From here, you can find the Skandha of Form on a Buddha head in the forest across a bridge. The Buddha head can be found before the area where you fought the Bullguard boss.
Chapter 2 – Skandha of Feeling
Skandha of Feeling is the next item on the list. You are only able to obtain this item by engaging in a secret boss fight with Shigandang. In order to do this, you will have to locate all six Buddha’s Eyeballs in Chapter 2. After doing so, you can make your way to the Rockrest Flat Keeper’s Shrine.
From the Shrine, take a left to enter the arena where you fought the Stone Vanguard boss. Here, you will find an oddly shaped rock that you can interact with. Doing so will trigger the Shigandang boss fight. The fight is not too intense as a lot of Shigandang’s moves are quite slow and easier to dodge. Once you have defeated Shigandang, you will receive the Skandha of Feeling.
Chapter 3 – Skandha of Thought
The third Skandha on the list is the Skandha of Thought. This item can be found in Chapter 3 of Black Myth: Wukong. For this, head to the Mindfulness Cliff Keeper’s Shrine in the Valley of Ecstasy. Move forward till you see a wooden board bridging a gap.
Drop down the right side of the wooden board and move forward on the path you land on. You will have to fight a few enemies before you come across a Buddha head. You can interact with this head to get the Skandha of Thought.
Chapter 4 – Skandha of Choice
The Skandha of Choice is located in Chapter 4 of Black Myth: Wukong. To find this Skandha, you will need to head to The Purifying Spring Keeper’s Shrine in the Webbed Hollow area. From here, move forward till you come to a pond on your left. Cross the pond to find a Buddha head you can interact with to find the Skandha of Choice.
Chapter 6 – Skandha of Consciousness
The final Skandha on the list is the trickiest of them all. The Skandha of Consciousness can only be acquired in Chapter 6 after defeating Giant Shigandang. To find this boss, navigate to the Verdant Road Keeper’s Shrine in the Foothills. From here, use the newly acquired Somersault Cloud to fly straight ahead. Behind the boss arena for the Son of Stones, you will be able to find a small opening to the right.
Progressing on this path will take you to the Giant Shigandang boss fight. The boss fight can be difficult to navigate due to its sheer scale. You will have to avoid all direct hits from the boss as his strength immediately eliminates you upon being hit. After managing to beat the Giant Shigandang boss, you can move up one of his arms to claim the Skandha of Consciousness.
How to make Five Skandhas Pill in Black Myth: Wukong
With all five Skandhas in your possession, you can now go on to getting your reward for this quest. Visit the Xu Dog vendor NPC, who can be found near the Cellar Keeper’s Shrine in Chapter 2. Additionally, you can also interact with him in the Ruyi Scroll village if you have unlocked it.
You can talk to Xu Dog and make the Five Skandhas Pill. It will directly impact all of your attributes. You can earn a +20 upgrade to your health, mana, and stamina, making this a worthy reward for the chapter spanning journey.
