Players can craft Staff of Blazing Karma in Chapter 5 of Black Myth Wukong. This weapon is one of the most powerful pieces of equipment in the late to mid-game. However, to craft this staff, players need to collect three Samadhi Fire Crystals. These materials can only be obtained by defeating three specific mini-bosses in Chapter 5.

Samadhi Fire Crystals Location

Samadhi Fire Crystals can be obtained by defeating Flint Chief, Flint Vanguard, and Mother Of Flamlings. Each boss will drop a Samadhi Fire Crystal along with Black Myth Wukong Items. These enemies all use a fire attack. It is recommended that players wear armor with Burn Resistance and carry or craft Body-Cooling Powder to deal with these fire attacks.

Flint Chief Location

Flint Chief is the first boss to drop a Samadhi Fire Crystal. Start at Valley Entrance shrine in Furnace Valley. Follow the main path until you see a large lava waterfall. Then continue along this path until you find a small stone bridge spanning a small lava channel. Wear Fireproof Mantle and head into the lava and turn left under the rock channel.

Once across the stone bridge, continue along the lava until you see a small stream of lava falling from above. In front of the lava flow is a Fire Date tree. As you pass this tree, Flint Chief will begin to form in front of you. This boss relies primarily on brute force and his arms to attack. Focus on destroying his arms with upgraded weapons and armor.

Flint Vanguard Location

The player will need to first pass a large Iron Ball. This Iron Ball will move up and down, but just avoid it and move along the side of the road from one safe area to another. Eventually, you’ll see a cutscene where the large Iron Ball is destroyed and a new path opens up to Cooling Slope area. This area can be reached by starting from either Ashen Pass III or Fallen Furnace Crater shrine.

Whichever shrine you choose, return along the path that Iron Ball originally took. A gigantic wall will block an area along the way, but once Plantain Fan is removed and Iron Ball is removed, this wall of fire will no longer be there. Coming from Ashen Pass III, you will turn right where the wall of fire used to be, and coming from Fallen Furnace Crater, you will turn left.

Follow the slope until you see a group of grey rocks sticking out from the black rocks. When you get close to these rocks, Flint Vanguard will appear. Avoid staying near Flint Vanguard for too long, as it will slam its upper body into the ground, causing a huge lava explosion. Fireproof Mantle can resist the lava damage here to a certain extent.

Mother Of Flamlings Location

After defeating Flint Vanguard, follow the right side of the open area and you will encounter some fire-based rock enemies before encountering several flames. Try to get Flame Ore from Flamlings. Continue forward and place four Flame Ores in the area with orange flashes on the ground to summon Mother of Flamlings.

The fight with Mother of Flamlings is relatively easy. When her health is low, she will summon a circle of small Flamlings to attack you with Flame Ore. Clear the small Flamlings quickly and the fight with Mother of Flamlings will become easy. After defeating her, you will get the final Samadhi Fire Crystal.

Hopefully, this guide will help you complete this challenge smoothly and enjoy the game.
