Below we'll explain where to go to find each of these Buddha's Eyeballs in greater detail.
Buddha's Eyeball #1

This first Buddha's Eyeball is located at the very start of Fright Cliff; it's only a few metres away from the "Squall Hideout" Keeper's Shrine that marks the beginning of the region. To reach the Fright Cliff, you need to progress to the end of Sandgate Village and defeat the King Of Flowing Sands and the Second Prince. After that, take the right-hand path across the bridge and follow that trail through the archway ahead. The Buddha's Eyeball is only a few steps further into Fright Cliff.
Buddha's Eyeball #2

To reach the second Buddha's Eyeball, start at the "Squall Hideout" Shrine and take the left-hand path into the cave just beyond the archway. In front of you, you'll see a statue of a crouching man. Head left around this statue and you'll find a dimly lit shrine area where the second Buddha's Eyeball can be plucked from the chanting head in the ground.
Buddha's Eyeball #3

The third Buddha's Eyeball can be found atop the wooden scaffolding a short distance away from the "Squall Hideout" Shrine. Take the right-hand path from the Shrine, and you'll see three paths: a higher path to the left, a lower path in the middle, and another higher path on the right which is guarded by several enemies. Take this right-most path and you'll reach a set of stairs with a chest. Keep heading up the next set of steps onto the wooden platforms, and at the end of the platforms you'll find another Buddha's Eyeball.
Buddha's Eyeball #4

The fourth Buddha's Eyeball is located very close to the third. In fact, you can easily see it from the wooden platforms. Take a right at the "Squall Hideout" Shrine, then take the left-most path that hugs that cliffside. Keep going straight, and you'll see the Buddha head resting in the ground on your left about halfway along the path.
Buddha's Eyeball #5

The fifth Buddha's Eyeball is accessible from the central cave inside Fright Cliff. There are multiple paths into this cave, but if you need a specific one: take the path where you found Buddha's Eyeball #4, but this time go all the way to the end of the path, and turn left into the cave just before you meet the shield-wielding Spearbone enemy.
Once you're in the cave, turn right as if to exit the cave where the "Rockrest Flat" Shrine awaits you, but instead turn left into the upper level of the cave. At the end of this path is a cavern where you can fight the Mother Of Stones boss if you haven't already. But for the Buddha's Eyeball, head to the right-hand side of this cavern and you'll see an exit out onto a balcony where the Buddha's Eyeball can be retrieved.
Buddha's Eyeball #6

The sixth and final Buddha's Eyeball is located just to the left of the "Rockrest Flat" Shrine, which is found at the end of the cave in the centre of the Fright Cliff region. From the "Rockrest Flat", simply turn left and walk a short distance and you'll see the Buddha head resting near the cliff wall.
What to do with the Buddha's Eyeballs
Once you've collected all six Buddha's Eyeballs, take them to the Stone Vanguard boss arena. This arena is very close to the location of the sixth Buddha's Eyeball; from the "Rockrest Flat" Shrine, take the left-hand path and then take the first left turn into the arena.
Once you're here, take care of the Stone Vanguard Yaoguai if you haven't already. After that, look for a large boulder close to the arena entrance. Approach the boulder, and you'll get an interact prompt to insert the six Buddha's Eyeballs into the boulder.

If you insert all six Buddha's Eyeballs into this boulder, the boulder will come alive and become the secret boss known as "Shigandang". You can then fight and kill Shigandang in order to receive two unique items: Heart Of Stone, which you can use to craft the Cloud-Pattern Stone Staff weapon; and the Skandha Of Feeling, which is one of a set of unique items with a specific purpose later on in Black Myth: Wukong.
Shigandang himself is much like the Stone Vanguard in nature, with slow but very hard-hitting attacks and lots of area-of-effect shockwaves. For more information, check out our guide on all the Chapter 2 bosses in Black Myth: Wukong.
