- Skandha of Form

- Skandha of Thought
- Skandha of Choice
- Skandha of Consciousness
The following are the steps to acquire each Skandha.
1) Skandha of Form
The first Skandha can be acquired in Chapter 1 by traveling to the Front Hills Keeper's Shrine in the Forest of Wolves. From here, you must proceed straight, where you will encounter a bridge. Cross the bridge, drop down into the river, and bear left. You will see a monkey interacting with an object. Head over to it, and you will have the option to collect the Skandha of Form.
2) Skandha of Feeling
The second Skandha can be obtained in Chapter 2, in Fright Cliff near the Rockrest Flat Keeper's Shrine. To obtain it, you must have completed the Shigandang optional boss fight. This requires completing a questline, for which a guide can be read here. Defeating the boss gives you the Skandha of Feeling.
3) Skandha of Thought
The third Skandha can be obtained while playing through Chapter 3. Reaching the Mindfulness Cliff Keeper's Shrine in the Valley of Ecstasy, you must walk straight on, over the wooden planks. Drop down from the bridge, and you will land on a pathway that leads up to a set of stairs.
Proceeding forth will take you to a snow-covered cliff. You should now see a figurine similar to the one you saw while searching for the first Skandha. Getting close to it will provide you with a prompt to claim the third Skandha.
4) Skandha of Choice
The fourth Skandha can be obtained in Chapter 4, in the Webbed Hollow. Make your way over to the Purifying Spring Keeper's Shrine, and follow the main path till you notice a pathway on your left, beside a small pond-like body of water. You should notice another figurine's head in the distance. Upon reaching the figurine, you should be able to claim the fourth Skandha.
5) Skandha of Consciousness
The final Skandha can only be unlocked only after the previous ones have been found. Similar to the second Skandha, this requires the optional Giant Shigandang boss fight to be completed. This battle may be challenging, and you can read a guide on how to defeat it here. Once defeated, a cutscene will play, and you will be rewarded with the fifth and final Skandha.
What to do after obtaining every Skandha
After obtaining all five Skandhas, return to the Zodiac Village and interact with the Xu Dog. You may need to unlock the Xu Dog first, which can be done by completing the Chen Loong questline. Interacting with the Xu Dog, you will get an option to have him make the Five Skandhas Pill. Consuming it permanently boosts Sun Wukong's Health, Mana, and Stamina attributes.
