Where to use Skandha items in Black Myth: Wukong

There are five Skandha items in Black Myth: Wukong. In fact, one of them can be obtained very early in the campaign, though the description itself seems rather confusing –you’re simply told that it was once “hidden inside Buddha’s head” and that “its secret is yet to be revealed.” With such cryptic clues, you might be wondering just what their purpose is.
