Unveiling Fright Cliff’s Secret
Fright Cliff is a treacherous area in Chapter 2 of Black Myth: Wukong, where steep cliffs and howling winds blend with mysterious chanting sounds. It is this sound that will lead you to the Buddha’s Eyeballs – the key to unlocking the secrets of this land.
So what are Buddha’s Eyes? They are hidden items, shaped like glowing yellow eyes, placed in ancient Buddha heads, scattered throughout Fright Cliff. Collecting all 6 Buddha’s Eyes is not only a fun challenge, but also a worthy reward for brave explorers, eager to explore every nook and cranny of the Black Myth: Wukong world. Because, collecting all 6 Buddha’s Eyes means you are getting closer to meeting the hidden boss Shigandang.
Buddha’s Eye 1: Right at the Beginning of Fright Cliff
Start from the Squall Hideout Keeper’s Shrine – the starting point of the Fright Cliff area. From the Shrine, you just need to go straight ahead a few steps. The first Buddha’s Eye is right on the ground, in a Buddha head as soon as you enter Fright Cliff, very easy to see.
Buddha’s Eye 2: In the Cave to the Left of Squall Hideout
Return to the Squall Hideout Keeper’s Shrine. From the Shrine, follow the path on the left leading into a cave.
In the cave, you will see a statue of a person bowing. Go around the left side of this statue.
Continue into the darker area, and you will find the second Buddha’s Eye.
Buddha’s Eye 3: On the Wooden Scaffolding
Start again from the Squall Hideout Keeper’s Shrine. Follow the path to the right from the Shrine. There will be three directions: left, center, and right upwards (with many enemies guarding). Choose the right path.
Go up the stairs, past the chest, continue up the wooden scaffolding. Go to the end of the wooden scaffolding, and you have arrived.
Buddha’s Eye 4: Trail to the Left of Man-In-Stone
You can see Buddha’s Eye 4 from the location of Buddha’s Eye 3.
Or you can start from the Squall Hideout Keeper’s Shrine, follow the direction to the right. Then, choose the narrow path on the left, following the cliff. Go straight, the Buddha’s Eye will be on the left, about halfway along the path.
Buddha’s Eye 5: Balcony Near Mother Of Stones
Enter the central cave of Fright Cliff (there are many entrances, one way is to go all the way down the path to find Buddha’s Eye 4, turn left before encountering Spearbone). In the cave, turn right as if going to Rockrest Flat Shrine, but instead, turn left to the upper level of the cave.
Go to the end of the path, and you will reach a large cave, where you can fight Mother Of Stones.
Go to the balcony on the right, the Buddha’s Eye is there.
Buddha’s Eye 6: To the Left of Rockrest Flat Shrine
Teleport to the Rockrest Flat Keeper’s Shrine. From the Shrine, turn left and walk a short distance. The last Buddha’s Eye is near the cliff.
Summoning and Facing Shigandang
Now, with all 6 Buddha’s Eyes in your possession, you are ready to face the biggest secret of Fright Cliff: Shigandang – a giant stone Yaoguai, carrying ancient power, sealed by the very Buddha’s Eyes you just collected.
Defeating Shigandang, you not only prove your mettle, but also receive extremely worthwhile rewards: Heart Of Stone – an important material to craft the legendary Cloud-Pattern Stone Staff, and Skandha Of Feeling – a mysterious item that plays an important role in the storyline of Black Myth: Wukong.
To “The Sealing Boulder”
From Rockrest Flat Keeper’s Shrine, follow the path on the left, then turn left at the first entrance. You will reach a large arena, where you once faced Stone Vanguard (if you have defeated him). The stone sealing Shigandang is right in this arena.
Releasing Shigandang
Approach the large stone. If you have all 6 Buddha’s Eyes, an interaction prompt will appear. Just press the interaction button, and Shigandang will awaken! Shigandang is a formidable opponent, with slow but extremely powerful attacks, and the ability to create shockwaves over a wide area.
Bonus Strategy: Using Shigandang against Stone Vanguard
This is a secret that not everyone knows! If you haven’t defeated Stone Vanguard, you can summon Shigandang before facing Stone Vanguard. Shigandang will automatically attack Stone Vanguard, helping you easily win!
However, be careful! After defeating Stone Vanguard, Shigandang will immediately turn to attack you. If you previously found it difficult to deal with Stone Vanguard, then Shigandang will be much tougher. Be prepared for a “do-or-die” battle!
