I will miss you Ruby and Yi Dao 💔💔💔
So uh
Does anyone know what exactly are we locked out of once Chapter 1 is over? What am I potentially missing out on?
any cn player here? is ruby really ||dead no more info? that's just too sad for the red heroine 😭 just finished her legacy.||
Any theories on the horse after Qianye? At first I thought it’s me lol. Would be nice if it’s Ruby. Maybe it’s some immortal that descended to lower realm? Since you get the title Immortal Ferrying. Maybe it’s just horse.
Can’t be Ruby, she named it herself
RE: Her Legacy - don't open unless you've completed it.
||I did NOT need to feel sad today but here we are I guess. Had me second guessing whether or not Ruby died just for them to throw it back in your face like that with that treasure hunt.||
You should really wrap that in || spoiler tags||
i thought this was a spoiler discussion? mb 🥺
What hurts me the most at the last part was when she was talking to you then ended with "Going to catch some butterflies" then runs off 🥺
it is, but like, that's a HUGE plot point that a lot of people might stumble across. Best to keep it safely tucked on stuff of that magnitude. But yeah, to answer your question ||yes, she's dead.||
found it yet?
I'm sorry but || why does everyone say we died ? i don't understand||
|| you are perceived as dead they dont know you live through the aureate pavilion attack||
where is rubys legacy quest?
Lady Ugly q.q
how do i get teh gift of gab debate achievement
the qinghe one
there's no more speech bubbles on my map
i'm already in Kaifeng
i was fuming mad and cussing about that girl not being able to lisen xD having a death flag, and then it happened xD i wanted that witch DEAD DEAD sooooo bad lol specially after they took the old man xD too i was like B!TCH xD
You pick it up after chapter 1 in heavens pier by the brewery
so is stuff in blissful retreat just permanently missable?? ik theres the dream world but its not the same
like there was a chest on the now burnt tower for example, only like 1 jade but kinda annoying
|| make it so i can buy back ruby into the story ||
This is a spoiler thread though why do we need to censor stuff?
Because we still have to be considerate with that kind of stuff sometimes specially if it's a big story even if this is a spoiler thread some may only have questions to certain quests I guess
Some people are just that considerate
If they've questions they could've just went to the questions channel
I am about to pull my hair out man this witches 2nd phase is some bull shi i get so close to completion then die at the switch over back to the red version
meanwhile ruby still waiting for me to get her get back death count:35 currently
Man, I just did "Her Legacy", the quest having you re-travel all the places you experienced with Ruby then ended up where we began did massive emotional damage to me
These writers are evil
why are the encounter quests in qinghe so hard to trigger, followed some guides exactly but nothing pops up
"Organic encounter" as they say
Ruby's Biography is missing an entry. Did I miss something, or is it supposed to stay that way?
||ruby dies|| and gets reincarnated as a horse in china
Does Ruby gets revived/reintroduced in lore in CN version?
Bro YOUR TELLING ME AUNT HAN WAS THE FINAL ENEMY WE FOUGHT AT THE END OF BLISFUL RETREAT???
its jarring seeing aunt han sacrificing her own child for some conspiricies
that's another person...
If its the same one I was wondering about too, you get it by talking to a lady near the lake (washing clothes?). Somewhere between the fishing npc and the two food vendors in heavens retreat (few steps from the place you get that snatching mystic skill start of game) iirc
Yeah thanks already got it from the mandarin chat.
Stairs beside Heaven's Pier left water wheel
Yue Niang
Yeah that's hella cruel. Would've shanked him myself if he was still alive.
good news
NOOOOOOOOOO NOT KILLERBLADE!!!
Wondering if Qianye was that lady that hits on you back when you’re serving the patrons or if that was just a random lady with a color-swapped outfit 👀
I think that's definitely her, I kinda wonder if she already knew Auntie Han or vice versa, since Auntie Han is conspicuously absent throughout the later attack on Blissful Retreat...
Doesn’t Han put we out of the explosion?
Damn bruh whyd they have to kill the kid off she was adorable
I thought there was a rule that kids shouldnt be killed off in these things
Yes it was aunt Han who saved us from the explosion
Bingo
Do you want the answer to that?
nah, i am all in on the intrigue and mystery, i wanna discover stuff myself
i saw someone giving out beginner tips for the game and spoil the ending of the Qinghe story chapter earlier today, i was flabbergasted
i feel like that warrants at least a spoiler warning! goes to show how differently people are approaching this game, it's kinda wild
yeah watch out :/
That's why I only watched like 1 guide to get a specific mystic skill in the game so far
even though I am still missing tons of stuff
Hey does anyone know where the tree ruby died at (if she isn't actually dead obviously I don't know, so don't confirm if she is or not lol) is?
Or if Killerblade has a grave anywhere? I like having screenshots of stuff for later when I finish the story to revisit
guys, after completing arc 1, i cannot longer do some things in blissful retreat? can i go back or something?
Killerblade has a grave
The one you visited on the cutscene when clipclop found you
yeah that's the one I want to find lol-- can you give me a general area or something?
And yes I've tried a google search
Lost these Horse thieves, is this permanent?
I can screenshot the exact area
Wait I'm going to open WWM
I know the tree location, yi dao gravestone, and ruby gravestone. For some reason I can’t post photos on this discord.
DM me that might work then?
Yeah I’ll send it to you when I get home. I have them marked on my map
thank ya, I think kiz just sent me the ruby grave
The ruby gravestone I know is in the cemetery by that tower. It is the only gravestone in Chinese. The Chinese translated to Zhou Hongxian or something which is her Chinese name
I was trying to enter the first dreamscape and hit a wall when I fought Killerblade again lol
So I'm back to the story for now
Yeah I have seen pictures on reddit
You gonna get ready for emotional damage after you finish the quest sequence of that zone
It’s a good closure for Yi Dao and the casualties of Blissful Retreat
Her Legacy is a good closure for Ruby
I'll see, so far the games shocking at 0$ lol
I did not know there is a ruby grave
Yeah it’s a bit tad north of blissful retreat close to the costal line
But Zhou Hongxian checks out she is the daughter of Uncle Zhou
Hongxian's meaning is also added additional damage after finishing Her Legacy
I actually found out on Reddit that was her name because of our fellow CN players translated and showed us where it is. There was also a flag post that mentioned it too
Why did they change her name to ruby tho?
I have no idea. English localization for WWM isn’t the best
I said changing hong to ruby or red is a weird decision before someone was confused why and i really couldn’t bother saying something so obvious
I DM'd you the locations of Ruby's and Yi Dao's gravestone and the tree Ruby put her red cape to save us
I got this Flower Drop Earring and supposed to find a courtesan in Bliss Retreat (but mine's the version where it got burnt down), does anyone have a clue for this? I wonder if it leads to somewhere.
Tysm
would i miss the quest and chest/etc... from the npc of heaven's pier/blissful retreat once the chapter 1 end since they're dead and it got wreck ?
No she's not. She's the Witch who can change faces and thus copy Aunt Han face.
No offence to some of you guys because the lore is confusing with the translation and just everything being spread out but how the hell do so many people keep getting confused on who that boss is
The Encounter Quest Name Fate's Farewell really sad
Please come here to unlock some cutscene but you can only do it after finished Qinghe MQS! Just touch the blade and...🥹 After that to to Bamboo Abode to unlock Encounter about ||Jiang Yan||
I guess the mc did call the Heartseeker boss Aunt Han iirc which probably confused some people.
It's pretty common knowledge...
Oh really? I missed it because Im just focus on MSQ and go straight to Kaifeng. I dont read or watch walkthrough unless Im stuck because I wanna enjoy it instead of rush it 👀
How did MC make the connection that Tian Ying is Miaoshan??? During the part in the murals i was like wait how did he come to that conclusion
Like did I miss some clue 😭
MC used the power of plot to know it
if we gather all the clues then we can figure it out too, so the game assumes the MC has gathered them all lol
Damn I was about to say bc the whole entire event aunt Han was gone like where tf she at yk? And then the lady looked like her in the dimension we were at
Honestly she’s a pretty good villan I really wanna shot her with arrows and stab her with a scythe
she probably wont be coming b anytime soon
her boss fight was so amazing though, just hope the final battle of kaifeng arc wont be too disappoiting
i didnt follow one cutscene and now im a horse???? can any1 explain to me what happened
devs wanted to make u play as a horse and they finally found an excuse to
oh xD
it's just a change of POV for a scene, don't ya worry
We reincarnated as a horse
I broke down crying when I found out ruby was killed 🫠
that's not the end, bet u havent seen the next encouter story after u finish msq of qing he yet
Our aunt Han said sth when talking to Yi Dao. She said "before his death, he left half a message for someone to find something...why should I be the one to find it?' is the he mentioned here Chu or Uncle Jiang?
No not yet x.c
Chu, uncle Jiang is still alive
@lethal shuttle Yeah it's an encounter quest related to ruby in the aftermath, i think it triggers at the brewery in heaven's pier, cant really remember exactly but u can google it easily
Gave me view perception forest but I can’t figure it out haha
Her legacy. Prepare to cry.
name of the quest is Her legacy, you can look it up if u cant trigger the encouter quest
Gotcha
Ahh so the half message was from Ruby then?
Damn, you guys in the acceptance stage already?
I'm still in denial (still coping)
One of those very few game characters death I can’t get over
That was helpful! The spot was not very visible, so it's easily missed.
omg i just found a loan slip near yan shiliu in blissful retreat
no way the MC has been used as collaretal for debt 😭
Does this mean there are quests that are too late to complete since the village is destroyed?
touch the sword at the tower in blissful retreat, you can go to the dreamland, which is blissful retreat before it was destroyed to complete quest u havent done there
is it? looks minimally different : sus :
Omgg thank you 😭😭
So my friend can’t trigger “Her Legacy”. He finished the MSQ there but when he goes to Heavens Pier nothing happens. At the winery there isn’t a map. Any help would be great
so what happened to uncle jiang?
u have to pick up a treasure map at the winery, this quest is really easy to google so u can try looking it up
he went to get some milk, and we r looking for him along with our aunt han
i cried all the time I was the horse. Clap Clap went to say god bye to Ruby at the place she died and then prepared to leave with mc. Just like mc, the horse's life was shaped by that short time spent at Heaven's pier by Ruby's side.
i thought for a moment i was immersed in an epic movie while Killerblade was fighting along mc. It was really amazing and the solo fight against the duality of the witch was full of graphic effects that somehow did not distract me from the fight. Loved it.
this is the biggest and most dangerous spoiler.
big question is: Who pulled mc at the last second away from the explosion? I thought it could have been Ungly lady but it was not her...
aunt han, she left for some milk too after that
yeh, Ruby was so cute bro... that's not FARE
Need for milk is strong in the Jianghu
the next update on CN is bringing her back, she showed up at the trailers and she is the reason the young master is going to mount bujian which is the current newest area on cn.
That’s awesome I’m glad
Her boss fight was literally ripped from elden ring and i'm all for it
Does anyone know where Bodhi Sea's antique is at?
why does mc want everyone thinking they died too
Cuz they were involved in the raid on Blissful Retreat
What do you think happens if the Aureate Pavilion finds out that one of the key figures survived?
yo i kinda forgot about it but what happened to Uncle Tian? Did he die?
Was he the wind brewery dude?
uhh i forgot that
he's the dude in our intro
okay thanks
but werent we just trying to help or did i miss something lmao
Involved as in they were trying to thwart the attack
The Aureate Pavilion were trying to ice everyone there because Aunt Han had a secret spy network
But mc, someone closely tied to Han, survives. If they announce to the world “hey your attack failed, I’m still alive,” then they’re basically painting a giant red target on their back
Also, Qianye probably survived the explosion that took out Killerblade (as villains usually do), and she’s already seen the mc’s face and is very interested in them
ahhh ok thank you, i wish we could go back and redo the story bc ive been confused loll
Yeah, a lot of the localization is rough. Especially for the side missions without voice acting, it’s very difficult to follow along
yeah half the time im just fighting things without even knowing why
Sadly yes probably ai or google translate
Then we have bits where there just no subtitles or the subtitles just disappear in like 2 seconds also a pain
Can you send me the link to the trailer. Probably need to dm since this channel doesn't allow links.
Still alive. He literally show up during the prologue to take the jade from us. Also I believe the reason for his disappearance is because he went away to help Tian Ying? We killed Tian Ying though so now I wonder what will happen next lmao.
Elden Ring style
amen
Hi! I made a video for the Qinghe Main Story. It's on youtube with the title
Where Winds Meet Lore - Qinghe Main Story + Background with Subtitles
Can you drop the trailer bro? for this 2 days I lost my drive to play/grind in the game....
I hate this game so much. So painful.
Then don't play?
No its good, just painful thats all.
Dont forget to visit Ruby (left) and Yi Dao(right) 🥹
In China they call it 燕云十六刀,maybe Where Pains Meet in global?👀
nah bro im sorry i confused his name, i actually meant jiang
Can you dm me?
www(.)yysls(.)cn/news/official/20251121/37780_1272472.html
someone make eng sub, hahahaha, ruby was there in the flashback as if recalling the tragedy... still not clear without knowing what the caption is
first of all, I might have a face blindness, but is the lady you fight in the dream (in the red upside down world, when you passed out in the clinic) and and the witch you fight during raid (that has white/red form) the same person?
and is she the same person that visited the tea house and had a chat with Aunt Han?
(I also kinda find that Aunt Han herself look like them lol probably the douyin makeup)
yep, there's a flag already when you serve her the parting tears... saying it would be sad if she cannot drink it next year...
also in the MSQ fight, they say the one you are fighting looks like aunt han cause you are bewitched making it looks like you are seeing the most important to you something, same thing with yi dao
what actually happened in the clinic dream? was the player enchanted?
did we accidentally discovered something were not meant to and someone sent us to the underworld (?)
i think you can backread on the lore section, they talk about that there
(also what happened to the underground 'zombies'? are they aunt han's failed face-changing experiment)
(is she and uncle tian some sort of cosmetic surgeon for criminals?)
No the faceless aren't zombies, just depressed. Actual zombies are sleeping puppets, made by Aureate Pavillion.
shes not exactly a criminal or directly working with criminals, she's just the best "cosmetic surgeon" to exist. everyone glazes her as the water lady
i don't exactly remember the wording but the faceless ones have failed and got ugly basically
Hello, anyone made the quest of the courtesan in the flower field area ?
|| yea he is alive, it is soeculated that he is the one who stole your pendant||
tian ying is still alive
If you meant Uncle Tian the Physician,||Also alive on some quest, you can encounter him on the quest about the blind Goddess||
people say uncle tian is actually a woman disguised as a man, and she has the hots for aunt han lol
I went back to look at uncle tian's face closely and it does look feminine
A lot of characters in Manhua/Manhwa fakes being the other gender so it could be
It’s a big cliche
Yes you can also see her in heaven pier looking at the tree aunt Han planted before the main quest
im wondering if Ruby is still alive 🤔
i havent seen her in the dream realm
unless there is something i have to do to get a cutscene with her
she's gone
why isnt she in the dream scape?
not sure, to make us suffer I guess
Emotionally it would probably make her death less impactful if we can still cope and talk to her in dreamland
Technically dreamland is only there so we can complete quests that are unfinished in blissful retreat
if she's the best 'cosmetic surgeon', why is there so many failed ones there?
btw is it recommended to finish all the encounter/campaign/outposts in qinghe first before moving on to kaineng/sundara?
(I know the game is openworld, but like, honestly, I'm quite confused and overwhelmed already, I'd rather not add more plot threads into the mix lol)
(currently doing the Her Legacy quest)
(which I assume is about aunt han)
You can go back later, just that encounter quests are really hard to trigger so it's hard to 100% them till someone makes a full guide
she showed up during the cutscene
I feel like ruby still alive
they might either be from test stages or they messed up themselves
in Kaifeng we learn more about the process but since this is only a channel for qinghe ill keep spoilers out
I guess I'll find out more when I get there, thank you 🙂
Im never taking the red bracelet off
Do you have official confirmation? Not just theories.
I read a lore post on reddit and all the clues that you can find in qinghe apparently points to the fact that he’s still alive, hiding in the shadows again
Yeah, that's just theory.
I've read it and it's plausible but don't say it as if it's a fact.
Cant say he’s dead as if it’s a fact too lol
We only defeated him technically
No. Based on the cutscene it shows that he's dead. Stating that he's alive is contradicting the cutscene.
I saw the cutscene too but if devs dont want him to die then he can survive that
Well of course the devs can do whatever they want but based on the cutscenes we've seen the most obvious answer is that Tian Ying is dead. If he shows up later then that changes.
tian yin is the assasin though. the black clothed guy that took the mc's jade are hint to be uncle Jiang. they are 2 separate person
as for tian yin die or not. its seem like he drown after we defeat him under the tower but who knows. he could be a doppleganger or he could swim out and saved himself off cam
this part is really up to the story creator
Uh yeah. I don't think I'm mistaking Tian Ying with Jiang Yan.
So if you don't accept encounter quests you can re-encounter them later?
I think some have a time limit lol
I always immediately do the first step as to not let it expire
Yep, but if we can re-encounter them I won't be accepting them right away anymore
I'd like to know that too
You can get them again but I’d just accept them so they stay in the quest log
I’m probably just coping, but hear me out…
Ruby was very close to Aunt Han and to us. Since we’re faking our deaths and Aunt Han is on the run, wouldn’t Ruby also be in danger if she were still alive?
So even if Ruby did survive, Aunt Han would probably fake her death as well and hide her to keep her safe. She’d also need extensive treatment, which would mean sending her somewhere that specializes in healing.
Cope
The death of Yi Dao had plunged me into a depression
Also Ruby's death too
I wanted to start a family with them Yi Dao could be the dad and Ruby was the kid but these aholes killed them

Aureate pavillion deserves to be wiped out
Yea It actually messed with my sleep as weird as that is. Really enjoyed the two encounters for sure. Cant imagine it gets any worse later on lol
I made a video on this! It’s on YouTube
Where Winds Meet Lore - Qinghe Main Story + Background with Subtitles
Because it was in Year 962😂 it’s pretty a realistic level of science for back then
Will be checking that out 🫡
Thank you! 😊
Do I have terrible reading comprehension or is anyone else also confused by the whole Headsman/He Ran and Liu Musan story? I read a reddit thread about it that said that ||the box He Ran was delivering to the general cause them to be poisoned into mindless zombies which is why Jiang Yan killed him|| but nowhere in the quest that was stated or made clear (albeit it was implied that the 'box' was supposed to be the 'key' to winning the battle(?) or something and He Ran had no idea of its actual effects)
also what happened to the old man in the end? ||Did he get cardiac arrest after revealing that to the boys||
Yes that’s correct. We have encountered the zombie bug a few times in the main story. The first time we fought the void king, he died then a purple bug flew into his eye and revived him into an agitated state. Second time was when we fought Fangxu.
The zombie issue is the reason why Jiang Yan had to leave Qinghe. In my video I explained we found a letter calling upon Jiang Yan to resolve this catastrophe
ok but throughout this particular quest, there was no mention of the zombie bug which is why I was confused
(I legit forgot about that plot point tbh until you mentioned it 😂 )
fang xu is the horse, yes?
You’re right, the style of storytelling is intentionally fragmented. You’ll almost never know everything from any single quest. We’re encouraged to piece together info and clues we got from all kinds of quests
Still not sure why the bug was randomly in fangxu or whatever
oh no why are the chinese like that lol genshin did this too with the artifacts and books
which campaign was void king? I forgot
He was our opponent for a martial arts challenge set up by Old Jin
oh the tournament thing
yes yes
I faintly remember the part where the bug flew back to a mysterious gentlemen
You mean who does Void King work for? That’s worth explaining in depth I guess. Maybe I should make a video on it
as in, which quest do we meet void king
coz I don't think I've been there yet
is it the one in Wraith Village quest?
I think WWM is even worse than Genshin in that aspect 😂 more fragmented and they literally fill the open world with clues
Oh no. We fought Void King right from the beginning
After you create an account
You take control of Jiang Yan
And you fought VK
yes definitely lol at least genshin's fragmented story was only the 'hidden' world-building part
ohhh yes that part
now I remember 😂
the name is vaguely familiar
It’s ok I didn’t remember the first time either. It’s my second time playing and only now does everything finally make sense😂
What would be a comfortable length of video that you’re willing to watch on this
This game takes after elden ring and stuff just still less confusing
I want to make one on the dream puppets, who made them and why
Cuz it’s very important for future plots
I personally don't like the one where you have to 'read' paragraphs on the videos lol
Honestly at least qinghe not to confusing if you think of it as everything is tian ying
I remember watching a genshin lore video that actually write down a whole paragraph, and like, dude I wanna read a wall of text, I read the one ingame instead 😂
this tian ying is a different person than uncle tian / unfated tian, yes?
Yes completely different and unrelated
Oh no I hate that too
Because it's jianghu
Unfortunately true lol spares no one.
Dude I get that but like cmon she was like 7
So? There are plenty of kids dying in wars and power struggles especially considering the setting of this game which is in the past.
Yea but it was a pretty dumb death tbh all that one guy had to do was keep an eye on her it should’ve been easy to keep her in place but eh ig they just wanted to kill her off cuz why not
Why didn’t Ruby just parry the arrow 
It was even flying in slow motion, so she had plenty of time to press the button
I found a hidden person inside the small mountain /waterfall next to still shore (using wind sight) but no idea how to get to her
if ruby didnt do what she did, everyoen else would have been trapped in the array and died
Nah we blew up the witch and broke the array anyways. What she did was pointless 
Even if Qianye survived the explosion, we know the illusion was broken, otherwise mc woulda been trapped still
it was underground, the array was outside
when we were fighting underground, the survivors being able to escape was thanks to the red cape ruby tied at the tree before she got shot
so even if we destroyed the array at the end somehow, others wud have already died cause they r trap in the array while the fighting was going on
Why didn’t we use all our manpower to send everyone underground then? 
and get everyone blown into bits...? lol
normal people wouldnt ahve survived that fall anyway
Ay man, if a 7 year old could escape and get to that hill by using the underground passage, everyone else coulda done it too 
the game said only a small kid could pass through it...hence she went
Yeah I’m saying we had like 20 ppl there, many of whom were martial arts masters. Everyone coulda helped dig up the blockage
no, all were civillians except the MC and Yi dao
and 2 others
others r all normal people
no way they could dig it in time lol, and everyone was exhausted from the attack / escape
only way ruby could have survive is she tied the cape to the tree right at the beginning
and went to safety
All I’m saying they kinda sat there and let a 7 y/o get turned into Swiss cheese 
they needed tiem to escape the erray evenwith ruby's signal, young master tried to get to her but Qian ye blocked them
SAME
I'm 100% positive not a single person in here knows what item to give Unfated Tian behind the clinic.
I'm still delulu thinking she's alive waiting for us to be her duo :(
It’s ok u can meet him again in the dream sequence 
Isn't he gone after the fight?
Who?
Yi Dao
isnt it chu's letter? I gaveit to Tian today iirc
Yeah, you see him one last time tho
Yeah?
Nah, he wants something else after that. Way after that part of the story.
I'm at 99% of Still Shore and that's the last thing I can think of. He asks for something but it doesn't say what. lol.
is it part of the wandering series quest, those r way too vague
Nah, no Series quests left in the area.
Do you guys have any idea who is the person that took my freaking jade
It was probably uncle jiang
speculations say it's uncle jiang himself
Isn't he dead
He’s mia
he's not, out for some milk in the jianghu
Oh
No aunt Han was crying over Chu
Her lover
I'm sorry I forgot
Wait no isn't she salty over Jiang just leaving?
Chu seems one sided from his side.
Yeah exactly
we dont know if Chu likes aunt Han, but aunt Han defnitely has a crush on him
Ofc she’s salty about Jiang leaving, he went and dumped some prophesied kid in her lap and peaced out 
most liekly they both like each other but are keeping their feelings tight
before it's official the guy is already dead
Other way around imo
HAHAHAHAH WE ARE THAT KID
Btw what are y'all name
Mine's in Chinese characters
I wanted Ming as Ign but someone took it so I settled for Mings
Same.
(People are being salty over smurfs from original server, I'm doing my part dispelling the notion 💀 )
I wish I got Ping
I wanted so many Chinese characters but they're all TAKEN
HAHAHAHAH
Does anyone know how to become friends with Fang Xu in General's Shrine?
option to befriend him show up for me after I beat everyone in the tournament. as to how to gaslight the Ai I have no idea
I could not access the AI chat with Fang Xu until yesterday.
However, I think they finally fixed this.
I just tried it now and it worked.
The MC suggested they enter the underground, but someone else said something like "There is only one entrance to the underground from here if they find out where we went they can trap us from the back"
That is why instead of going in there the MC Yi Dao, and the 2 martial artists you help in the beginning of the mission made a stand instead while everyone stayed safe inside
MC even tied up and took Ruby's riding crop
What she did save everyone, so cant say she should have listened cause making a stand there was gonna get everyone killed in the end
I agree, lives were lost but in the end if she did not do anything more lives will be lost
She could have hid after the first volley of arrows but instead chose to push on, she knows she could die yet still stood up for what she believes in
edit of our baby girl
I mean what we can see from the face is pretty much the same, we can even see the scar on the nose lol
If you do side guests you will know it didn’t
Which ones. Only 2 that mention her are both just ur character dreaming
Ah guess I missed that one lol. Maybe it’s empty :’)
i literally skipped the cutscene straight to the boss fight cuz ruby was wayy too annoying for me
was both happy and surprised that she died?
her grave was also shown when we leave for Kaifeng, at the end of our Clip Clop rp
That's Yi Dao's
Ruby's was a different one
okay I think I need to find that
okay I went back to the pier and found the side quest
imma go to more depression now
Here have a little bit of feels first
Im doing Ruby's treasure hunt now
Is it weird to say that I think Killerblades death was more impactful than Ruby's?
Because its true
Optional Quest from chapter 1 and town rebuild gonna be in chapter 2 or 3?

Which is a bit of a plot hole because if there’s only one entrance/exit, how did Ruby get out?
Wait that tomb is his?? I thought it was ||Ruby’s||
||Heroine Ruby’s Cape is so drippy. Its a crime we didnt unlock it after she died||
||Clip clop|| is the only horse i use in her honor
ruby's tomb is further to the side i think
Can someone tell me the location of their tombs? I can't find it.
It wasn't
It may be due to the fact that Killerblade would not die if not for us we were in a position that may have been outside the array, but of course our young hot blooded hero did not know that, and we would never expect Killerblade to sacrifice himself for us, we even did a lot of tricks on Yi Dao
Someone sent it here already, I forgot the name but I saved it, the credit goes to them tho
There was another way out but only a kid could go through it
But if that’s the case, how did mc and aunt Han get out after the explosion? 
Well, most of the bad guys were blown up so isnt it easy to go whatever u want after that? either that or aunt han knows other passages
If you explore there is a way from the clinic to the qianye boss fight, there is also a way from the qianye boss fight to near our hut if I remember correctly
There is also a way from there to the location where we found dalang
But we do not know that place the way the Water Lady or maybe even Uncle Tian and/or uncle Zhou(Inn keeper or something and father of Ruby the first one the mobs killed) would know it
They coulda just walked out of there if they looked harder 
I know for a fact there were multiple entrances and exits to that cave system because I used them myself
That old man was full of sh
Of course we knew but our character did not know we looted that place before we went on with the mission🤣
can someone explain to me the story of the Wraith Village and Gleaming Abyss/Deer Goddess/Void King?
I am not quite sure if they're related to each other
Bruh, that’s going to be very long, since this side story is actually connected to the main villain, Li Zuo. Basically, there’s this old guy who’s searching for immortality (I forget his name). I believe he eventually gives up and stops pursuing it, but there are still people who use the knowledge he left behind to continue chasing it. I’m not sure how that ends up happening, but the woman beside Li Zuo becomes immortal because of it. She hates her immortality, since she feels dead inside and believes humans should never become immortal.
This immortality is also connected to the longevity fruit. It’s a golden fruit said to grant long life. However, I believe the people who eat it end up cursed, and those who consume it eventually turn into stone, which explains the condition in the Wraith Village. Li Zuo, the emperor of Southern Tang, does not care and still believes he is right. He insists on following this path, thinking he can create an ideal country by making everyone immortal.
The Void King is one of Li Zuo’s followers. I’m not entirely sure why he’s there, but maybe he’s just keeping watch. Anyway, the more important part is the hint of a connection between Li Zuo and the MC. According to information I’ve seen from CN players, ||like Li Zuo, the MC also seems to be immortal, possibly because the source of this immortality comes from the Mother Gu. But take that with a huge grain of salt.||
when you say main villain Li Zuo, do you mean like main main villain of the whole story campaign? 😂
The guy in white hair in the trailers. He's Li Zuo, Emperor Ai of Southern Tang. The one Jiang Yan points his blade towards. Well in the compendium he's called the Last Emperor.
oh so he's very much still alive
I got the impression that the dream echo in the dungeon happens long time ago
He's immortal? So maybe that's why he's still around.
well the lady 'died', right?
Ye she died. I don't know how that happened though.
Iirc, the guy who made the immortality fruit is also the same guy who caused the dawn and dusk poison. Ugh I can't remember his name.
this is where the tree of the red cape
I recycled the weapons I'm not using, however now I need them to complete a quest. Where can I buy weapons?
there's a weapon chest in the season shop @haughty terrace
Thanks 🤍
Let me save that one too thank you
the void king is there voluntary after he fail to stop Jiang Yan in the opening and dissapointed Li Zuo. so he make a commitment to Li Zuo that he will guard the place and kill 1000 people who wander inside to prove he is worthy to Li Zuo.
and the MC just so happened to be the 1000th lucky customer🙂
you can read more of the character's background story on their profile
Isn't there a premonition by Jiang Yan regarding the game events? He froze when he saw all of it then his friend shielded them from void king's hit
not sure what happened there actually during the opening
Could be he was shocked that Void king rose up, and we were shown a mini trailer, or uncle Jiang saw the future that's why he froze
yea but unless he was under some kind of influence, he shouldn't be in that state where he froze before the enemy and cost the life of his friend
Might be drunk jk, the jade or baby may have some powers
He might be our dad
Yeahhhh yeahhhhh
Could be, kinda predictable
Coming for our deadbeat dad after 16 years of no child support
Guys, did Yi Dao survive?
lord knows Qianye became my most hated character across all the games i played so not only does she kill two of my fav characters and beat me like 40 times on legend but also we don't even get to kill her
she ends her domain expansion garbage just for apparently we are the one who lost
no redemption arc can save her for me atp
probably not since he took a scythe to the chest
Your only solace for brother Dao's death is...
The writers won't write the cliche of him coming back as a zombie to knife you in the heart twice because that's too low class
Yeah, i want to crucify her and then do several unforgivable war crimes, and finally piss on her corpse
Anyone know where i can fin Ye in the wandering tales "Heart of Iron", says at the foot of the hill behind palace of annals
that's me after losing to her 40 times just to realize i didnt even kill her
hi, how did u trigger that one?
Forgot
that's fine, thank you
I'm currently doing the yi dao boss quest, I'm literally crying
But i think ruby survived tho because we didn't see her corpse
Ruby's dead, people just coping, they just can't show a child's corpse man.
luna goddess quest is an amazing one, but it's very difficult to piece together her whole lore so people never talk about it
true, kind of hard to understand her motivations and why she made an enemy of jianghu
Don’t even know what items I need to finish it lol
wait till you do Her Legacy encounter. Youll know real pain
never taking it off man
She can be our paimon for ever in spirit
I had to go read her lore cause idk how people actually find clues about her and piece everything together lol, it was a good read
Where is the person is Thousand buddah village to trigger the encounter?
someone called "Er Mengzi", no clue where he is tho
That guy at the end of part 1 cutscene on the road... was that Yi Dao?
I finally understand why it’s called Heaven has no pier
Nah, Yi Dao ded yo, Yi Dao never coming back, he's a memory, he's one heck of a jobber but he done.
does anyone know where the manuscript is inside snake king‘s lair? I beat him but can’t find it
Real
we can pressure them to make him come back
even in spirit form
I still need to marry him
And it'll be eff'd up if he died but the witch didn't fully die
which i suspect is the case
Can't wait for the witch to come back to the story and we have to fight both her fire and ice forms at the same time in a gank battle.
Thatd be unfair since Yi Dao died forreal
but i do want to kill her myself too
and all the aureate
Zhou hongxian I think
Same
Ruby has to be alive I refuse to believe she’s gone
I looked everywhere in the dream she’s not there
Yep! I hope she is still alive somewhere
The game didn't show us she's actually shot
I do wish the witch die forreal tho
doesnt matter anything she will ever do, she cant be forgiven
What if she becomes your waifu and says you have a cute little nose again?
like I NEED her to be alive I couldn’t sleep right after she died
Actually it does. Horse getting back up during cutscene..
When you "finish" the main quest there, during the cutscene for how the festival should've gone, she's there. Only one cut tho.
Specific characters are 红线
If you summon Ruby as companion in world boss,the first time you died you will get revived but there is a dialogues,i kinda missing the dialogue since i was focused on the boss but it feels a little bit buggy since it feels like a cutscene but we still fighting the boss
wait you can summon companions? how do u do that
周红线 is kind of an odd name😭 by modern standards at least
Usually before you face the world boss,near the hero tomb there is a companion assistance post,you can summon NPC that you know to help fight the boss
omg!!
i NEED to find that
i can summon my husband
so my guy, Yi Dao is stuck in a mantrap.. I got 2 platforms that need to be pressed to release him, but I am solo. Is there a way to do this, if so how
Does anyone else not get an option to comb their hair anymore? 
i jus gotta pray she comes back
So i bumped into the daoist,,,, hes a bit of a nightmare and i dont understand him
Are there quests, skills or Npc's who r not doable after completing Main Story chapter1?
Find some object to put on the other one, such as a conveniently movable buddha statue
Welcome to Daoism
Don't worry, he's only the dream of a donkey. Realize that the man is the Dao and the Dao is the donkey and the donkey is you (also the Dao) and you will have no troubles
There is no Daoist, no donkey, no you
You have already beaten the daoist because he is you and you've looked within yourself and found no self
And there is no Dao, for the Dao that can be named is not the eternal Dao
So apparently you can trigger a cutscene where it shows Tian Ying alive. You'll need to complete Qinghe tales and echoes, after that you get a buddha key. You can then enter a hut at Halo peak. A cutscene will play where Tian Ying is revealed to be still alive. I'm digging on this chinese rednote app for all tales and echoes but some encounters i cant seem to trigger 😭
Yeah hes alive and you get to beat the snot out of him later
No after the boss fight
he is faking his death against you
lol you're a troll
Well I'm sorry I want revenge for getting my teeth slapped out
The cutscene is about past event though iirc
is it? idk i just saw a video from a chinese content creator. Also he's covering up his wounds and stuff, could be past event tho idk exactly
I think he is face changing himself and go to other region as a spy
that would actually make sense
The one quest I wish we could co-op. sobs ||I hate horror movie- now I have to deal with zombies.||
theres a scary cave in the misty forest in Kai feng
do not go in if you scared of horror lol
takes note avoid all caves
this quest took like six years of my life lolololol
afaik only that one cave in kaifeng is scary
and I'm not even finished
I have no idea where that is, so will avoid all caves
||Yeah her name is 周红线 Zhou Hongxian. She's gone, the first pic on my previous comment clearly showing the moment she's getting hit by an arrow lying in the ground. I went to Yi Dao's grave and saw someone's signpost said Ruby, thought thats her but her grave is in different place||
||Shes in the dream realm|| on her right is her father and left is Xiao Pingan
Wait didn’t pingan survive though?
wait but hollon didnt the kid live
he was hiding in that jar thing
pot
||Its a bit confusing, Jiang Yan still alive but he's there too||
I'm curious how beard Guang died
Wasn't he just fine in the cutscene where everyone escapes?
Ruby said she was able to fit though but he definitely wouldn't have
So he couldn't have gone with
that cutscene is like a dream fever or sthing, MC remembering the good ol days before the massacre
dreamland is just there for people to complete quests u havent competed, dont read too much into it. ruby is gone for good
Don’t think it even lets you do that honestly hell I can’t even friend people there
most of them r dead so it's understandable if u cant friend them
but it's still better than nothing, idk which quests specifically u wont be able to do anymore
No I mean where the people you save run off thanks to Rubys banner leading them out
Well if the point of the area is not to miss things and it can’t do that then it’s worthless
ofc they go into hiding, everyoen go their seperate ways I think
But Beard Guang is said to have died even though he seemed to be just fine
I dont think he died, where did u read that
The merchant NPC in the burned out village has a [G] listening dialog mourning him
Wait really? It's a plot hole then because beard guang was still fine and should have escaped thanks to ruby's signal
Or the writing isnt consistent
Or the translation bad
Possibly. I thought it was talking about him but I'm also not the best with keeping names straight
Just a re-used asset, I think.
Yeah, the one where he is grieving and saying that he should not be blamed if he takes all the goodies
Asset? He pours out a bottle of wine and says Guang's name
Unless it's a different Guang
Can you find Bearded Guang?
I wouldn't know where to even check for him
the survivors probably all left qinghe
With Ruby and aunt Han
nah man she's gone
But alive in our memories
I miss her already, I thought she was gonna be annoying but she was a geniune friend to the young master
I mean children are annoying sometimes wether they be relatives or family friends
But why do they annoy you or pester you? Because they like you they want you to be friends with them and sometimes they look uo to you, we may sometimes find her annoying but she is our character's little sister in all but blood
Later on she felt more like a friend rather than a kid who follows us around u know
We could not protect her, but maybe our character has learned enough now that he can protect those who he cares for. Specially those little ones in kaifeng and Granny turtle
and since the MC is only 16 it really emphasize that friendship
Yeah we can also take how we look into the relationship from our own experiences
Badas is a swear?
We were inside a formation
my guess is that the array kept her from helping, or other goons were obstructing her. We see that even yi dao struggles against sheer number
But when we last speak to her she was in the village
And then we never even see our speak to her again
Or she was out of town doing sthing important we dont know about, it's a surprise attack after all
She was preparing to leave as we were supposed to go to Kaifeng
Its just weird, her badas jianghu identity is such a focus of part 1
Then it never goes anywhere
Still a bit of a focus in Kaifeng
She was doing the preparations, but can only know what she was up to when we get to meet her in person
Tbh if qian ye dares to attack the place then she would have plans to deal with aunt Han too
And it probably worked
Honestly if aunt han was there it could have been a whole lot better
Because there's 2 people Qian Ye probably did not account for
The bad guys definitely did sthing to keep her out, be it the array or other schemes
Ruby and Yi Dao(literally a stranger in blissful retreat)
Also, who pulls you back from going after Yi Dao? The red sleeve makes me think its Han
Probably
Maybe we woke up and they were already gone
So she was there, could have helped, chose not to, and has nothing to say on the subject
Idk its weird
The array could have been broken at that point
Qianye would have been focused in fighting us
Maybe. I hit that witch in the head with enough charged heavies from my 20 kg glaive to give an elephant a concussion
Exactly
Could have broken the array at that point
All her talk about regretting letting Chu leave, don't you think she would have done something to help if she could? We basically are what's left of her family
And yet she isn't even shown in any cutscene
Which can only make me think she cut and ran that night despite saying she would wait
Or she was preparing
Don't you think moving everyone like that doesn't need preparations?
I just think she was caught up in sthing and came b too late
Then it should show or have her say that she was away on the extremely importantnight she had spent the last year preparing for :v
We do not know what transpired after we were saved
Now its am ambiguous loose end for no reason
I get full gameplay of Clip-Clop running over a kilometer that my character ALSO has no idea happened
That doesn't mean they can't show the player
That is the Jianghu
Full of mysteries
Yeah they r hiding information on purpose
Because if you know everything you would not be immersed and think about stuff
it will probably be revealed once we get to talk to the wuque guy
he seems to know what aunt han was up to
Hehehe Wuque ||person||
WHICH IS WHY
I'm saying its weird
Something is amiss with Han beyond what they've told us
I mean ||Jiang was probably also in the vicinity, why not help?||
there is sthing fishy about her yeah
Basically a spy co-conspirator or organizer so yeah
wait he is? i thought he would have left qinghe by then
Don't you think the one who stole your pendant is suspicious?
Personally I blame Clip-Clop for Ruby dying. He easily tanked that first arrow without even a serious injury. He could have taken the second one too
"Oh she dead? Better get up now then"
i know it's him, but i assume he left straight away after that
Could be, but he stole the pendant knowing that there is danger because of it, if you were Jiang would you not make sure that everything is alright at first?
dont think he's the type to plan far ahead lol
My point is we cannot blame anyone
well yeah, blame the btch
He may have seemed like a drunkard with how He Ran talks about him but he is someone who is literally called Little General
He also.had visions of the future or something in the prologue
Also where the heck did all those Aureate come from? My character alone killed more than were on those ships and the fireballs raining down implied some serious seige equipment being set up
eh, dont trust cutscene visuals lol
Fair answer
Nah that was on Ruby. She coulda parried that arrow. It had the red glow indicator, and it was even coming in slow-mo, which meant she had assist deflection turned on.
Ruby just sold for no reason 
That's true, she failed the parry
wait did ruby really perish
Yes
i thought it was just a smokescreen, then i stumbled into the dreamscape area and finished that quest
the ending cinematic where you wake up and the festival is gone and everyone is gone hit different
A shot of her corpse is shown in the cutscene where she is shot
^
shoulda learned from maelle...
there's an encounter quest after the finale that you should do, be prepared for the feels
you mean yidao?
there's another one
go to the winery in heaven's pier, there's a lilttle treasure map u can pick up
oh whatt
scared to go check now
one has to face it
i passed that part last week but its really hitting me hard that she perished; im kind of bummed out; the game has a lot of really dark elements hidden under the delightful gameplay
You can also screw up some side quests too which causes people to die and this sure as hell isn’t a game you can load a save with
So I beat Tian Ying right. I was so hype I forgot what happened afterwards like I swam up and the story just ends? Did I miss anything?
I kind of like living with the choices we made theme
I really like for an option to create a new character or somehow to reset my progress just so i can explore qinghe to 100% before I finished my main quest,i thought the 2nd chapter will begin at sundara,so i didnt touch that area
Why do you need a new character for that? Go do it now
Completing the main questv doesn't change any of that
You get a dream area where everything is the same as before the MSQ
Yea,but it create quite a paradox,like in mercyheart town where ppl get poisoned,you advise 1 family to move to heaven's pier because its safer,while the heaven's pier is already burned 😂 😂
It's not like aureate will attack again, so should be safe. More hands to rebuild too.
Pretend its a flashback in the dream area 👺
Idk
Also a bunch of NPCs will refer to you as "The young master of Heaven's Pier" despite having faked your death and being in disguise
some pretend not to know us, some still call us that lol
Yeah that 16 year old ive know all their life wearing half a mask isnt recognizable at all
i figure out how to befriend fulushou and his brother at the general shrine
after you solve the dungeon under the general shrine and return the item to the boy
come back later after a few day or 1 earth day, there should have a yellow dog behind the shrine
talk to him and complain about the 2 brothers
bff after the dog talk them to it
It's only the less-important NPCs that refer to us by that, and I honestly feel like that was just a lazy move by devs there
Yao Yaoyao pretends not to know us
She a real one
But what if? That's what they have to think about, because so many of them almost died that night, and if they do come back for "the young master of Heaven's Pier" reminder that they are a strong force and have an absolute POWERHOUSE in Qianye
guys can anyone help me understand the story in Qinghe? i skipped a lot of initial story and now hooked after the ruby incident. I'm confused who is killerblade and who was the intro guys and the kid. Is there any article explaining these? TY!
I just completed the Dark Surges and unlocked the secret cutscene. I can now confirm that Tian Ying is indeed alive. It was hell gathering the Dark Surges though. Ugh now gotta do it again for Kaifeng...
I think there are some lore videos on youtube
Damn, you completed the dark surges? How did you do it, by yourself or were there any guides
I used guides. I would never do it without guides. It was still horrible even with guides lmao.
Completing the dark surges explained a lot of things though. I can understand the backstory of many events happening in Qinghe.
What guides I’ve not really found much info to help look for stuff in this game
Agh my boyfriend was playing the game first and the Siege of Heaven’s Pier hit me. Now I just played through the chapter and the recounting of the tale had me bawling my eyes out 😭
Ruby is so cuteee, she is my baby. I pray nothing bad happens to ruby
you should pray hard, kneel until your knees get hurt
did someone anwer you or have you found already? im looking for same
I hate it here
ts was depressing
The fight is super pretty tho-
Encounter in Thousand-Buddha Village is named Love in Ashes, for those who want to know, just found it
Four thousand nine hundred ninety eight....
Four thousand nine hundred ninety nine...
||AND KILLERBLADE TOO!!! THATS IT VILLIAN ARC STARTS NOW||
and then touching the sword
Hi, I made a new 5 min video on YouTube called
Where Winds Meet Lore - The Untold Story Behind “Blind to The World” Quest
- How this quest is connected to the Dream Puppet in the main story
- What role did Li Zhenzhen play in key historical events
- How Tian Ying reacted to all of these
if you can’t be bothered to read all the texts, this short video might help you.
I just went through the final fight and I am traumatized. I was literally shouting at my screen while crying my eyes out this was too much! 😭😭😭
I cannot say how much I hated the quacking witch I wanted to just #$@#$...and then Yi Dao...
I didn't do any side questing cause the story felt like my character wouldn't stroll around when all of this was happening and now I regret it so much! I didn't even give her the wine soaked jades the kiln guy gave us...😭😭😭
I literally logged out on Clip-Clop...I am too traumatized to continue...
The mc is too cinnamon rolls for that lmao
... you aren't wrong lol
Our character has room to grow, they are in their youth right now but with their statement of "Someone has to die" not so cinnamon roll, maybe it was misworded and should have been " someone has to be held accountable" or something
||After we did so much to get him into danger he still sacrificed himself for us||
||Is like- everyone dead? Really? Han? Ruby? Killer?||
Im sad now
Possible side area spoiler: ||Will we ever get to liberate Mercyheart Town||?
ruby and yidao yes, han is missing
MOOOD
u meet yidao in the dreamworld blissful retreat then he disappears forever
They call it 燕鬼十六刀 over there.
Original is 16 tones of Yan Yun, but this is 16 ghost blades for you to get stabbed with.
Is Tian the doctor the same Tian as the buddha assassin we kill?
Or just same names?
Also I hate that the mounts in the game are so cool, because I now am obligated to use Clip-Clop forever on principle
Different, in fact Tian ying was the one who asked doctor tian to transplant the eye
Wait, so we help his lover pass on, but kill him? Jeez, the Jianghu is dramatic.
Kinda funny that the Tians crossed paths briefly
If u unlock all dark urges you get a secret cutscene that shows tian ying is still alive
Nooooo….
tbf they werent lovers, but they definitely had feelings for each other. Just wasnt meant to be
I don’t want to do another 3 phase boss fight lmfao
He probably wont show up again
Ah, ill fated lover trope
I kinda hope he does for lore reasons alone
He’s such an aura farmer it’s crazy
He left qinghe to do another espionage work against the khitan, he's not really involved in the main story so I doubt he'll come back
His big side story already ended at Ch1
The Khitan are north right? I’m pretty sure we travel there in the future updates 🤔
I vaguely remember the Chinese version having the north unlocked
Yeah, but his story already ends, and that he's not related to the MSQ at all even if he's in the north
who's panter-man?
The Heavenly Demon
White haired guy who Jiang was having flashbacks about
Void King hallucinated him too
Khitan has a kingdom on their own trying to invade china so I doubt it lol
The white hair guy is Li Zou, sovereign of southern tang, another kingdom in china
Oh they’re just the Mongolia stand in?
They do be mongolia stand in lol
lol ok
guy lost his wife then proceeded to be the big bad villain
White hair guy is real character in china history so if ur interested u can look him up
if the poison on mistveil forest didnt exist, this game would not exist
So on a scale from 0-China how much China is in the game rn?
I only know the poison is the product of this sun buqi guy, is there another conspriacy behind it?
beginning of Song dynasty, set in the time where the first emperor of Song is trying to unify CHina
and driving out the khitans to reclaim northern china ( which he failed )
Nono, I phrased it poorly, I meant like, in terms of land mass, geography, provinces, etc
Because there’s at least 4 so far
It’d be cool if we expand into the full chinese land mass
yes, li zuo's wife was poisoned by the poison that turns ppl into zombies and the wife killed a lot of people and eventually killing herself
you can google Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period to see all the factions of the game territory
qinghe and kaifeng are real places, idk abt hexi and the new area
oh? it’s that historical?
It's based on real history
cus of that li zuo became the big bag villain and experimented on zombies and gathered jianghu ppl like qiayen
im sorry, am i supposed to be saying what im saying?
I know she died but had no idea why, so it was due to the poison
I know that sometimes Wuxia and Murim stories take more fictional fantasy spins on the time period with stories based on historical events but not directly being them
yeah, if the poison didnt exist, this game would prolly not exist either lol
I’m pleasantly surprised it’s tied in so directly
if u guys are curious abt others things maybe i can answer it to some extent
the game's setting is 99% historical event with a few twist and dramas
that’s rad
hexi is probably the most impactful historically wise
can i say the premise of hexi's story?
Wait, so did Li Zou make the sleeping puppets we see everywhere?
I know his lover became an immortal but she was kinda tired of living right? Was it before or after the poison that she became immortal
ur basically following the story of an old man who's delivering cotton seeds to mainland china. the story follows his survival through the gruesome desert
Wait, was the poison lakehouse their story???
kinda, every zombie in the game is related to the aureate pavillion
wild
game got deep lore but it's hard to piece everything together caues I suck at finding clues
So is Hallow Vale affiliated with their pavilion? Since they also make sleeping puppets?
i actually dont like how much lore theyre hiding its ridiculous
i hope people have enough patience to actually piece the lore together
That’s what makes it so fun to discuss though! I just wish this game was popular enough to have a chinese history knowledgeable VaatiVidya type creator
Like it’s hugely popular
Song dynasty isnt a popular era though
But I feel like it’s not blowing up enough on forums and youtube
whats hard tho is the lore is typically not understandable in the game unless u search internet discussions😭
beetch era, tang dynasty on top
Out here trying to find lore like Nicholas Cage trying to steal the declaration of independence
I cant even trigger the damn encouter quests, no way I can find lore
Yeah song dynasty is probaly the 3rd hated dynasty according to chinese people
Behind Yuan and Qing
I don’t fast travel anywhere and wind sense constantly so I find a lot of stuff, but the out of the way stuff is definitely going to be lost on me
qing is prolly the worst lmao
Are you in kaifeng yet, dont research song dynasty history if u don't wanna be spoiled lol
Not yet
But I don’t mind spoilers too much
Accidentally spoiled myself on Ruby and Killerblade
can’t get worse than that
Ur right, cant get worse than that lmao
lol
Knowing the history does give a lot of context in chapter 2, so there's that
no one dies in kaifeng but man, the story is js so tragic
blame those damn horse bois in the north
when i first played the story in china months ago, i gasped when i saw people floating underwater in the unbound cave
If spoilers i heard from chinese players are right ||the main character will play a significant role in imperial political struggles in later chapters||
crazy that he went from such a seemingly grounded and decent person to like, Chinese Light Yagami
what makes it sad is that it really happened when china was in a state of poverty
yeah, mc is mc but even current mc in china version still cant beat base qiayen😭🙏
someone who's obsessed with immortality in a wuxia setting is bound to be like that
true
I’ve read enough murim/wuxia to know nothing good comes out of those from the jianghu getting involved with the imperials
unless like, japan or the mongols are invading
Don't worry theres no blood. All the bandits we killed gently reprimanded made better choices with their lives
well, the khitan is here, the mongol stand in
whats funny is that theyre currently in war with khitans but li zuo out here causing massive loss for china LOL
I was about to say lmao
li zuo be collecting jade pendants like its the dragon balls
idk, its not stated yet in china
hmm
even the guy who took our pendant didnt hwve lore yet
This is starting to feel a lot like Northern Blade type stuff ngl
but we do KNOW that the guy who took it wasnt bad cus the pendant is some kind of tracker, if it stayed with mc then mc will be hunted down
according to the speculations, isnt that guy our uncle who left for some milk
and the pendant we had is not the only one
there are speculations like that but i js dont see the similarities
||Ruby and Yi Dao probably yes, aunt Han is travelling||
Also our uncle would be quite old by now
So does this setting not have body reformation? Where you achieve so much qi and enlightenment you regain your youth?
age is aight in the game, there are 80 year olds that look young in the game lol
Naw its low fantasy
that's xianxia bruh
li zuo is old old and still looks young so
This is more martial skill. The peak power level is maybe small mountain level
But honestly seems to look the same
young unc jiang is so fine
Enhanced by Mako, goes by the name Sephiroth now
chen as well
He is
this game doesnt depict people in their 40s well, u either look really young or u look like ur 1 foot in the grave
Being a superman who can sword fly and use mystic powers makes it hard for me to grasp the line between wuxia and xianxia lol
in this game
Lightness skills are impressive looking but you only glide like 400-500 meters
wuxia still involves humans, while xanxia is where the story basically revolves around literal immortals and mythical creatures
so wwm is 100% wuxia
Could be that those with martial arts age better
But yeah its the higher end of the wuxia scale
still nice to use it if where ur going is far from the tp
There are definitely fantasy elements
even other aunts we see in the game besides aunt han look like they r 18-20 lol
wwm is like some reverent insanity type shi
But like ascending to heaven as an immortal just by ammasing qi is a pipe dream
I see, but doesn’t the plot literally revolve around the quest for immortality?
that's li zou's plot
Tian Ying was basically a bodhisattva and we stabbed the tarnation out of him
MC is just trying to find his uncle and aunt
Achieving immortality at what cost
is his plot not THE plot? or is it just side stuff?
Much like in real life the immortality seems to be largely snake oil and alchemy
Ot its a monkeys paw with unintended effects
Like the deer immortal
Well he's the main villain for now, not sure if the story resolves around him much later on
fair
So for now we’re doing our own thing until we cross paths with him in a few years as updates come
||What if we are the key for him to achieve true immortality or something which is why Jiang kind of kidnapped us basically||
Someone spoiled that we get to meet quan ye again in chapter 4 I think
Eating babies has always been the key to immortality
now that's likely
But the baby should be || his own flesh and blood which will make us their offspring||
and you guys said the jade is a tracking device
I mean it would explain why we are trading blows with Killer Blade at 16 years old with hardly any training or time to refine qi and techniques
I think Jiang can see the future as seen in the Prologue
Our character is a generational prodigy
werent we trained by uncle though, so it's fair the young master could put up a fight
Crazy that Jiang is our Bardock
For maybe 5-10 years at most
bruh that sounds like plenty of time, and Yi Dao probably went easy too
Enough time slecially when started early
also the MC is a genius too, can steal skills just buy pressing space bruh
Look the fact that we survived the wine cellar incident with little life or death combat experience is a lot to say about our character’s skill
Hmm idk, we seem way too strong for 16 year old backwater nobody who seems to spend most of their time working in a tea house
Uchiha is the name, stealing's the game
it's that trope where u get trained by an old hermit in the moutain and u ahve know idea how strong you are when u go to the outside world/ jiang hu
Wine store room but actually seems like a grave
Feudal Booze Village
I mean thats true but plenty of sect warriors had elite daily training for longer than we have and are just low level mooks for us to cleave through
Peerless Dad but we’re a teenager
tbf we couldnt beat a real expert, Quan Ye
16 is an adult back then
But the MC is not an average fighter by any means
Jiang held up against a "Martial King" level opponent and beat that opoonent while holding a child nonetheless, that kind of master, would beat all of the skills into you
And I don't think thats just Jiangs training in a mediocre sword style
true
isnt the nameless sword supposed to be OP in the lore
Our character is a generational talent who has then trained for years straight with a martial master
Heck we can perfectly steal and replicate sect martial arts just by watching a guy from 100' away
If People recognizes you just by a few moves because of the martial art it is a good art
Nameless sword and spear feel like the styles where you unlock the truth about them and they go from lvl. 1 common to lvl. 1,000,000 SSS+ Legendary
Every martial art taught to us we learn by just hours🤣
All I'm saying is that we probably werent a normal kidnapped baby
Unfortunately strategic sword is way better gameplay wise lol
I main infernal twinblade and strategic sword
Hojestly nameless sword art is not bad, I just prefer strat sword's moves
The true secret of nameless sword is how much it sucks so you have to git gud to beat people with it. Its like wearing training weights
using nameless sword against random mob camps is just not it
Nameless sword art also melts through enemies
Isn’t it mandatory to run the nameless innerways for them tho?
to really make them shine?
Not as cool looking as the strat sword but,melts enemies
Also why didn't Jiang teach us any inner arts? Seems irresponsible
Y’know you’re not wrong
wtf Jiang lmao
We don’t even know any real mystic arts
he’s just like checks notes “lvl 1 nameless sword and spear” hmmm 🤔 shrugs and crumples papers “good enough. I’m going to go out for milk.”
The Jiang Yan mystic arts set up
Bell
Bamboo
Palm
Katon
Why not teach us the bamboo one or something? Seems like the safest of them or the palm
FOR REAL
Im telling you while he probably trained us well, it doesnt seem like for very long :v
MC just picked it up in no time
"You learn everything I teach you in monutes" "Go out and learn more yourself "
“I can’t believe this stupid kid is more talented than me, I have to nerf that little &$@?”
lmao
Too bad she is busy with tropical vacation CIA witness protection "Traveling"
But Jiang Yan have trained us well, maybe it's part of what he saw when he saw a "Trailer" of the future
the only thing she taught us was how to be an alcoholic
She was a terrible parent
Never even said bye
No heartfelt cutscene of going your seperate ways
If Jiang Yan was your father figure mister "I'll drink even on duty" aunt Han probably never had to
I taught this 8 year old how to kill people, your problem now
Probably taught us more in terms of business skills or how to make wine
Not really
As Aunt han was against us entering the Jianghu
we have to do quests to unlock professions and learn how to fish, chop wood, mine, gather, hunt, etc
