Behind where you fight the Son of Stones boss, keep flying to the end of the upper area until you reach the end. Then turn right to find a narrow canyon entrance to the right, follow this to the end to find this giant rock monster. It’s opposite the waterfall cave where you have to go for story purposes after collecting all 4 mythical armor pieces from the Chapter 6 bosses.

Reward – What to do with the Five Skandhas
You can bring the 5 Skandhas to Xu Dog. He will either be in Chaper 2 at the Cellar Shrine, or if you unlocked Zodiac Village he will be there. Talk to him and choose to give him the five Skandhas. He will craft you the Five Skandhas Pill. It slightly raises health + mana + stamina.

The 5 Skandhas Pill also boosts attack and defense. It gives +20 to every affected stat (health/mana/stamina/attack/defense).
