Story 1 - Qinghe

[limpid valley]

she literally taught us how to copy pages and be a bar maid

[signal locust]

Well we know how to read and write, valuable skills for an ancient chinese village bumpkin

[limpid valley]

true

so she at least taught us to read and write

[granite pagoda]

ur right the drinking habits take after him for sure

[young rose]

Which our character so gracefully piled onto Ruby

[limpid valley]

lmao

[young rose]

Writing in english is easy , butIn Chinese character? funk my hands

[limpid valley]

God, no wonder our character is stir crazy and battle hungry, our childhood was basically just: Martial Arts, Shrug, and “No Jianghu!”

[slow rock]

How did you trigger it?

[young rose]

You saw how he and Yi Dao dramk wine? Like an art form

[signal locust]

An aunt who apparently lets us (and Ruby) roam the bandit riddled countryside unsupervised while shes making booze all day

[limpid valley]

I mean she scolds us to not do that

but she’s a martial master

so

technically yeah, wow

she does

[young rose]

Which we did not know

[fallow seal]

just randomly got it

[limpid valley]

but in retrospect she could’ve stopped us if she cared enough

[signal locust]

The second Ruby isn't in our line of sight she gets kidnapped

[young rose]

On that I agree

[young rose]

On this I mean

[limpid valley]

Y’know

[young rose]

We trusted Guang twice

[limpid valley]

our character had a literal wine fortress

[young rose]

Failed us both times

[limpid valley]

our character is definitely an alcoholic right?

[round plover]

Guy a massive incompetent honestly

[round plover]

All Chinese people in wuxia are

[signal locust]

Also, Han must make an ABSURD amount of booze. Did you see the size of that "secret" storeroom where we "stash" "some extra" parting tears

[young rose]

No we are not an alcoholic, we are THE alcoholic

[limpid valley]

is merchant
doesn’t hire any guards

[signal locust]

There was enough alcohol in tnere to cause a detonation and apparently that was the extras that Han didn't know were missing

[limpid valley]

THATS WHAT IM SAYING

[young rose]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-krabs-money-angels-swimming-in-cash-im-rich-just-got-paid-gif-26621734

[young rose]

And an absurd amount of money

[limpid valley]

At least two jars of the legendary 10 year parting tears wine too

So that’s like top shelf henny being yoinked

[signal locust]

Oh hey I've been wondering

What is with the blind zombies in the doctors basement

[limpid valley]

Remember one jar of the regular stuff was enough to reimburse Guangs entire caravan investment

[signal locust]

I feel like we should have made a bigger deal about that

Like called in the government

[young rose]

This is a spoiler in Qinghe but not yet implemented||Let's rebuild blissful retreat/ heaven's pier and make it better once we can ||

[limpid valley]

WE EVEN HAVE A BUILDING MECHANIC

[granite pagoda]

yeah I dont know much about those faceless people under the basement too

[limpid valley]

Legend of Zelda Terry Town

[limpid valley]

I do

They were sent on a suicide mission and had their faces removed to hide their identity

[young rose]

We do yes, but not yet able to rebuild

[signal locust]

Lets call it: Great Seiche, Equal of Heaven

[granite pagoda]

They didnt ask aunt han to change their faces, but destroy it instead?

[signal locust]

So he KEEPS THEM LOCKED IN HIS BASEMENT

I'm sorry that's not right

[limpid valley]

Essentially they were great martial heroes, but after failing their mission they had nowhere to go, so they went insane in hiding and it seems Tian might be trying to heal them or at least provide refuge

[signal locust]

Hmmm

They seem awfully "trapped in a dungeon" to be patients

[limpid valley]

The faceless guy mentioned their pride as great heroes was long since shattered

[gleaming night]

I thought they were there because the face changing procedure failed and they were forced to remain underground to keep the operation secret.

[signal locust]

Maybe they were the great heros of Halo Peak?

🧐

[young rose]

This here

[limpid valley]

maybe

I remember them being tasked with an operation in the north tho

[young rose]

The operation to change the face is not a 100% success

[limpid valley]

“succeed in your mission or die here, either way your fate is sealed” was the line right?

[granite pagoda]

oh so the unlucky ones stay underground in hiding, guess you'd go insane after a while

[limpid valley]

yeah

[young rose]

Which is probably why Han was adamant in letting Chu undergo the operation and venture away

[young rose]

Lose your sense of self

[limpid valley]

this^

But in other news

Anyone know what the deal is with the cave monk?

The monk in a dark cave on the way to Assassin Tian who mentions that a great flood is coming?

Feels like in that kind of setting it’s probably not just insane rambling

[granite pagoda]

Seems like a guy with a story, but as always u gotta find dem clues

[limpid valley]

I wonder if it’s literal or metaphorical

[granite pagoda]

Does he show up in the wandering tales clues?

[limpid valley]

I don’t remember

[signal locust]

OH YEAH the random guy in the sealed side cave?

I was like... do you want to come out? Do... you just live here or?

[limpid valley]

maybe it’s Li related, maybe it’s the Khitans, maybe it’s a great storm or tsunami, or maybe it’s something else 🤔

[limpid valley]

Right?

How did he even get there

how long was he there

how does he eat

[signal locust]

"Is this Tian Ying? He does not impress lemme tell you."

[limpid valley]

you would think that being in a cave during an impending doomsday flood would be a death sentence y’know. Low ground and all. So either he’s got a death wish or it’s a more metaphorical flood.

[signal locust]

Its gotta be related to Tian Ying right? I missed most of his lore anyway

I just know hes old and Buddhist and also Miaoshan

[granite pagoda]

Or maybe he's just a deranged guy and we read too much into it lol

[signal locust]

Why is Tian Ying a giant and murderous bodhisattva anyway

What little I've heard he seems like a good guy

[granite pagoda]

Think u have to do all dark surges to piece his story together. Someone did it with a guide but idk if it's english or chinese guide

[gleaming night]

Btw I just finished the guy in the well quest is there a continuation quest for that? I'm pretty sure that guy wants to steal the MC's identity.

[granite pagoda]

I think he's just dead

[granite pagoda]

btw which guide did u use to finish all dark surges? I want to do them too

[gleaming night]

Let me dm you the link

[gleaming night]

No no the body that we found has dry feet and there's wet footprints leading away from the well.

[granite pagoda]

Wait what?? so we got tricked?

[gleaming night]

Yeah I suspect so

[granite pagoda]

I totally missed that, I thought the guy died right after he got out and the MC just called it a day

[gleaming night]

There's also that suspicious kid that broke the wine! The little s. Anyway something is definitely up.

[hot totem]

how do i trigger rubys memento quest?

cant seem to do it

[signal locust]

There's just a map laying on the floor

You pick it up and that starts the quest. Very hard to see, It took me like 2 minutes searching

[granite pagoda]

in the winery of heaven's pier

[serene lantern]

Hey does anyone know what happens if you give the Dragon Crest Token ( From The Dog Knows First Quest) to Unfated Tian what happens? People have put up what happens with Tang Bao but not the other option

[round plover]

He tells you none of your business what does tang bao say?

[serene lantern]

Tang Bao according to websites swears revenge vaguely

[queen kiln]

Hi I'm not sure where to ask this but I'm stuck at the end of ch 1 where I have to identify things that are strange from the viewtop when the village got burned. It doesn't say what button to press and wasn't sure what to do

Can any1 help me ? I'm using a PC

[granite pagoda]

Move your mouse around and click on stuff

[queen kiln]

Ah so I guess a touchpad won't work then, it has to be an actual mouse ...I didn't think of it. I thought it was a bug 😔

Thank you I'll try it out

[signal locust]

As far as I understand you can press start and bring up your cursor to move with a controller pad?

(Secondhand info)

[fathom bridge]

Does anyone know what happened to Aunt Han?

I don't understand the Heatseeker battle where mc call her aunt Han cause they don't look anything alike to me.

But was also very surprised she didn't appear at all during the burning of the village.

[formal jungle]

Well spotted. The Mc called Qianye Aunt Han because Qianye used illusion. Aunt Han is very likely alive so we’re tracking her down as we visit other places. Idk why she didn’t appear, but the arm grabbing the MC from the explosion is likely hers

[granite pagoda]

#📖lore-chat message u were right

[remote granite]

Hello i have a question is village destroyed and can i lose something if i will not check it first?

My friends has the village "changed" so i am curious if i will lose something or only dialogues will change

[round plover]

I’d recommend friending everyone there and stealing any loot you want

[primal walrus]

got to kaifeng but at the cost of my sanity

and happiness

[small marten]

RUUBBYYYYYY 😭

[crimson barn]

Why are you yelling Ruby? whats wrong with ruby?

[abstract orbit]

Hes just happy he got a nice gift from her for birthday

[primal walrus]

MY BOYFRIEND

i miss my boyfriend

Yi dao

pls come back

😭

[bright widget]

Why wasnt Ruby in that after life place, was she a bad person

[gleaming night]

Lol. Where can I find him?

[humble stirrup]

pain

[thorny stone]

She's there in the cutscene you get from finishing the yi dao fight.

[lunar nebula]

The get back at the witch is gonna go hardddddd

I’m so glad Chinese players haven’t spoiled us yet

[lunar nebula]

I wish I never advanced this quest 💔💔💔💔💔

[humble stirrup]

my headcanon: the narrator is us in our old age

[thorny stone]

I thought it was the storyteller who also has Ruby's story' when you are a horse..

[humble stirrup]

we later learned it's us when the horse find us, but could also be that

[opal lintel]

BRO THE ARRW TO THE HORSE NOOO

[twilit iris]

i miss yi dao 💔

[rain harbor]

So I planted the longevity seed but even by moving time ahead it won't grow?

[still timber]

It will grow if you also offered 2 fruits at Zi hour to nearby shrines

Their location is hinted by the glow from the deer

[lone nexus]

So I have some questions. Why was Chu asked to stop Aunt Han? Aren't they on same side? I thought Aunt Han don't want to change his face because he is her lover and all. But why was Chu asked to stop her? Also how can I read the letter that asked Chu to stop Aunt Han? Like which menu do I click?

[remote granite]

Can you guys tell me if Blissful retreat and the village will be destroyed after Witch's fight? And will i lose something? Some npcs etc?

[signal locust]

It will but you get a dream village where everything is the same as before. It currently seems a bit bugged and some of the friendable NPCs don't work

If you care about 100%ing everything it would be best to clear Pier before the story

[remote granite]

Only pier? What about Harvestfall?

Or it is Harvestfall + Blissful?

[signal locust]

The other towns aren't affected except taking in refugees

[remote granite]

so only Blissful Retreat is affected?

[still timber]

I would not say it is “exactly the same”
It has some npcs to finish the quests I assume or collectables, but the feeling and its state is very different

[limpid oyster]

just did dream in flames
so ruby and blade are really dead aren't they 😢 ??

[last phoenix]

as dead as your hopes and dreams

[limpid oyster]

villian arc

[limpid oyster]

i kill any aureate pavilion in my way

[deft gulch]

as it should be

[limpid valley]

I went from seeing one or two and ignoring them to killing on sight no matter the inconvenience

[queen kiln]

It didn't work for me unfortunately. :/

I tried the mouse option that Kam suggested earlier

I finished the ch. Thank you both for the suggestions and help 🙏

I'm sad how the story ended. Looking forward to the new region ^^

[formal jungle]

For anyone who wonders what's with Jiang Yan's Father Slaying reputation, I made a new video on yt called

Where Winds Meet Lore - Did Jiang Yan Kill His Father? Qinghe Story Deep Dive

Happy to DM you the link

[rugged finch]

is there any guide for every encounter on Qinghe ??

[granite pagoda]

there's a reddit link but I can't send links here

[humble stirrup]

me when it's finally time to get out of the Heaven Pier's Dream Realm:

[timid cobalt]

I haven't been able to open the damn game since I finished the fight and saw the cutscene. On one hand I am delighted there is a dream version...on the other I dread the time I will finish it and have to go.

[young rose]

You can come back anytime, and someday you'd be able to rebuild the retreat, but of course those who died cannot be replaced

[timid cobalt]

That soooo good to know! honestly when that cutscene where the witch was shooting arrows played I started crying my eyes out like I couldn't stop until the fight with her started. And then just when I calmed a bit Yi Dao... seriously.

Funny thing I have a little sister in real life and I just went and started hugging and crying she was so concerned, this game broke me 😭🥲

[young rose]

Me too, and the age difference is similar to ruby and the MC, so I never found ruby annoying

[young rose]

Yi Dao was unexpected, whou would expect him to save you

[timid cobalt]

Exactly! Like you could see he had a little bit of softness for you with calling you pup and taking you to Jianghu and all but he masked it well. When he pushed you out of the room. Man come on...

And I have to say the Chinese female voice actress game it her all in the way she shouted out in desperation, like I felt it in my soul.

10/10 I would turn my heart and soul to dust again

[timid cobalt]

Exactly! Mine is older but she does have that little sister habit of wanting to cling and get pampered, but also being my partner in crime.

[gleaming lynx]

Ok, I’m being lazy and didn’t care to read the lore but didn’t want the voiceover in english cause it was jarring. Um… what is the actual lore?

Brother dies, you take care of niece, Killer blade is causing issues with towns, Qianye is manipulative (for what reason I didnt read), then Ruby is kidnapped and you have to save her? Then Qianye shoots her and she dies. Is that it?

[round plover]

……

[gleaming night]

Brother?

[swift zenith]

Uncle who raised you left 3 years ago, Aunt Han sends you on errand, you meet Killerblade who wants you to take him to Aunt Han, you find out Aunt Han is Water Lady (martial arts master who can change peoples faces), Evil Faction of Qianye attacks before she can evacuate everyone, Qianye casts spell on town, Ruby sneaks through secret tunnel to lead villagers out, Qianye shoots her and she dies

[stable wedge]

You don’t turn into a horse, you just play as the horse, then you go back to your character

[stable wedge]

The guy in the loading screen left, your character is actually the baby in his hand, no name sword fighting style is what you learned from him growing up

[mortal viper]

I assume we don't know, but did Qianye die in the fire?

Also - did anyone else tone-shift their character after those events? I went from being benevolent and good to harsh and kill on site with my weapons changing too (from no-name sword and spear to dual swords and rope dagger)

[young rose]

Definitely alive

[mortal viper]

Figures, everyone good = dead, everyone bad = live. lol

[young rose]

When it comes to Aureate Pavillion I go out of my way to hunt

[brittle fog]

@nocturne raft

[nocturne raft]

oh there is a secret channel

[brittle fog]

yeah for spoilers

i understand ur confusion since the lore is very hidden and barely talked in main stories, u gotta piece it together yourself

[nocturne raft]

I see

[brittle fog]

tian ying is a huge edgelord LMAO

[nocturne raft]

i see

[brittle fog]

aureate pavillion are the biggest ops frfr

we need to slap li zuo in the face endlessly

[hasty prism]

Why does this game makes me sad ? Why did they had to do Legacy of Yi Dao ?? 😢

[hollow whale]

Everytime I'm reminded of what happened in Blissful Retreat, my hatred towards Qianye grows stronger

[ember gazelle]

Ruby's death wasn't the biggest sad part for me... Blade on the other hand, was far more endearing for a character with such a short lived relationship with the MC.

[granite pagoda]

I thought they were after the jade

[ember gazelle]

I think that's a sub plot. I'm pretty sure the jade is something else and they're trying to find it using that list

[granite pagoda]

Fair enough, they might be related

[ember gazelle]

Blade made the statement "who do you think she's doing all of this for?!"

And then gave his life to protect MC

Either I am on the right vein, or I watch way too many CDramas

[deft gulch]

I have yet to trigger that- and god I'm scared

[brittle fog]

the jade was already taken remember? and when they invaded blissful retreat they didnt seem to care abt us. they prolly already knew that the jade was not in our posession. since the jade is a kind of tracking device

they were after the record of zombies cus Li Zuo (the leader of Aureate Pavillion) is obsessed with immortality, thats why the aureate pavillion is also in mistveil forest, if you did the encounter quest there.

[brittle fog]

yeah, blissful retreat was supposed to be the safe haven for mc until the invasion happened. it all started when we went to the dungeon with zombies in em. then aureate pavillion started to look for those records themselves in the winery.

[ember gazelle]

The aureate also seems to have some other business other than the list. I'm wondering if it has to do with a former dynasty quarrel

[brittle fog]

mhmm, aureate pavillion is doing the dirty work for li zuo. the reason they want the jade is still unknown even in CN but we do know theyre researching zombies for something. since those zombies were affected by the dawn to dusk poison that killed his beloved and went big bad villain.

[ember gazelle]

Oh snap! If I can get past bird man hopefully I can see some of this play out!

[brittle fog]

all of those are still locked lore so its not out yet, im basically spoiling LOL

[ember gazelle]

Lol that's fine with me

[brittle fog]

we'll learn abt the history when Hexi comes out in like 3-4 months, it's gonna be hell

[ember gazelle]

Oooo

I'm already struggling lol

[brittle fog]

hexi is so sad kaifeng doesnt even compare

qinghe is prolly still the saddest for me, i will never forget yidao

[ember gazelle]

I'll probably look for a coop for the ghost market. With my hand tremors this combat is a literal pain

[brittle fog]

yidao is such an endearing character for me, allat for someone he just knew

[ember gazelle]

Yidao was the goat

[brittle fog]

truly the goat

man, i cant wait to finish my ink setup

i want my drip to be inky

[ember gazelle]

Ohhh nice. I'm still working on my build. I'm pretty sure it's not balanced properly 😅

I always end up messing up my builds. Probably why I've mostly ever stuck to cozy games. Because of this, I've definitely struggled with building a character strictly for combat

[brittle fog]

u can ask me for builds, i might help since i have experience from the china version ^^

my main look for the whole game is gonna be this, so excited

[ember gazelle]

sure! I'd love help with my build. I am way too much of a noob at this

that looks super cool

[brittle fog]

u can dm me anytime^^

[ember gazelle]

thank you I will

gonna see if I can coop, once I am done, I will DM you

[brittle fog]

i love ink style things so much lol

[ember gazelle]

inky is pretty slick looking

I gotta wait until I've finished xmas shopping for the fam before I drop any more loot for this game

[granite pagoda]

Have u bought the Ink effects of nameless?

[brittle fog]

i main dual blades so no, they suck anyways cus its only effects for their charged lol

[granite pagoda]

Nameless main dmg is their charge tho right so it’s not bad, and most importantly it’s ink themes!

[brittle fog]

yeah but i like full effects better like the gacha effects

too bad there isnt ink effects for gacha, i will get the gacha effect for tangdao tho

[thorny stone]

The "swords of one" effect gives flying blades effect and I was ready to burn money on that, but I have skill issues to not be healer main and styling on trash with nameless doesn't justify the costs 😭

[brittle fog]

you are safe cus nameless is like the best and its not even close when it comes to damage

enemies die before u need to heal

its the cheesiest weapon

but uh, i suggest waiting cus there are a lot of gacha effects you might like

[thorny stone]

Yeah but full healer set let's me blind clear any given boss..

[brittle fog]

for example the most awaited tangdao weapon has the best weapon effect and its not even close

[thorny stone]

Dragon stuff? I saw a video and they block the screen too much imo.

[brittle fog]

its my style so i dont really mind😂

there are a lot of options tho

[thorny stone]

Wish the fans had an ink option and not the succubus-colored flower available right now 😖

[brittle fog]

if ur a healer main, dont worry cus the umbrella gets a gacha effect eventually

[chilly scarab]

Hey guys if I complete the Well of Heaven Quest in Qinghe (I know its a trick by the immortal Ways) can i leave the sect after? I dont want to affect my Sectless rep

Or should I just skip it Edit; I heard you can only leave a sect twice

[quiet badger]

how to i proc the dog to talk for the anecdote in harvestfall village?, been standing here like 5 minutes and nothing (i have the animal speak skill)

[lunar nebula]

Still not over Ruby’s death ….

[low yoke]

I feel such morbid fascination at how Ruby is the best Paimon of this open world genre by making her ultimate sacrifice.

Everyone loves her...

[gleaming lynx]

So Aunt Han sounds more like the antagonist than anyone else, she’s the reason Qianye even showed up to cause issues. If not for her, Ruby would have lived

[signal locust]

Says she will stay another night for the festival

Disappears and doesnt help during the seige at all

SMH

[wet wadi]

honestly im so confused why we dont see aunt han anymore after the first chapter

[lunar nebula]

She’s such a fascinating character especially because we only really learn from her from others and see her very little despite being such a significant character for the mc

We see Aunt Han like our mother and would do whatever it takes to protect her though and this won’t change. And the people that do know her never with any negative thoughts

[humble stirrup]

not me reading all of the character lores lol

[gleaming night]

Records of zombies? No the faceless are spies who go to Khitan. The list of faceless is literally a list of spies that the Tang / Aureate Pavilion want to use to curry favor with the Khitan.

Making zombies is very easy for Li Zuo.

[brittle fog]

you're actually right, I'm sorry for spreading misinformation. i was trying to piece the lore myself. may i ask why the aureate pavillion was in mistveil encounter story? because I know that the lore behind the silver needle sect was that they saved most of kaifeng because they protected the research of dawn to dusk poison from aureate pavillion

[gleaming night]

Because of Sun Buqi. He's the one turning that Lady in Gleaming Abyss into immortal. Li Zuo is probably interested in him since he wants to turn everyone immortal.

[brittle fog]

i see, is his obsession with immortality because of his late wife? since she killed alot and herself cus of the poison

[gleaming night]

No it's because he believes he has to get rid of evil to stop suffering and he believes when everyone is immortal they will shed their desires. The lady disagrees since she believes that will just removes everyone humanity and she wants to die. Li Zuo who's also the last Emperor of the original Tang dynasty doesn't listen though and now he leads Aureate Pavilion and puppet the Southern Tang to accomplish his goal.

[brittle fog]

zamn now its clear lol

i love wwm lore when its actually clear since they dont show it much in msq

[ripe dagger]

Is there anything i can do in Witherwilds village to get rid of the illness or smtn? Cuz the guy keeps yappin abt it but like man

[small marten]

😭 you dunno?

[small marten]

rip, I wish i knew this before

Aunt HAn os water lady? why is this just clicking to me now

[small marten]

I'm happy I paid attention so I figured out most of those stuff on my own, I was speculating about the doctor being a woman from one line, glad to know it's confirmed.

[small marten]

Li Zuo! the white haired dude is the Azuo in the deer quest!

damn, I love games where the lore is so intricate

[small marten]

animal speak? how does one get this

[small marten]

victim blaming?

[small marten]

have you read the chess players one?

[humble stirrup]

got that hairstyle from her chest but I got a male character so it suckslol

[gleaming lynx]

70 kills and still no drop.

[gleaming lynx]

The male version isnt to bad, its a good length and works with any outfit

[faint wolf]

man I dunno what it is but my luck has been garbage. Even with the free pulls in the game I get nothing

[humble stirrup]

it clips with the accessories in my back so it sucks lol

[faint wolf]

I hid my weapons and accessories for a cleaner look

[humble stirrup]

I look like a model for shampoo lol

her hair gotta be that silky smooth

[humble stirrup]

[echo notch]

anyone know how to get Ruby Biography to 100%?

[mellow owl]

Yes Yi Dao seriously blew up the entire wine storage. I know, I was shocked too. It took 10 years to put that together.

[small marten]

Hit her with a sword right?

[young rose]

Don't know why I remembered this

[manic geyser]

You first have to meet him in the wilds
Hell give you a quest
After that find him in kaifing
At the place Ben shared

[faint wolf]

Found out Ruby made the goose pouch and the goose head for accessories

[cedar tundra]

Bring back ruby i actually miss her annoying antics

[vocal kraken]

she just died on my side. Bro why😭😭

[young rose]

At the beginning of the map of kaifeng at first, then he'll move to where Ben sent

[proper wyvern]

guys at the end was the hand that grabbed the wanderer ruby??

[twin nest]

Aunt Han

[viral fossil]

Is it supposed to be like that with Qianye that her 2nd attack is hitting me no matter what? I mean on the 2nd phase when she switches to fight the white one. I dont really understand that gold attack, im either tanking it or just dying even if i manage to dodge because of the "projectiles" she launches in a circle are still hitting me

[signal locust]

Gold attack is unparryable. You have to dodge as soon as she hits the floor

In a direction away from the floor hazards she puts down

Heck if walk away while shes charging there's a good chance she just misses

[viral fossil]

Yeah I know that i have to dodge which is what im doing. Maybe its because im slowing down time with twinblades so the delay makes me vulnerable to the stuff she leaves after the attack. because for me im dodging in direction where they are gone yet im still getting hit. Might need to clip i guess to see if im really away or part of me is still on the hitbox

[young rose]

Not the right height, it should be aunt Han

[loud hatch]

Yes she grew 4 more foot in that scene

[signal locust]

That was clearly legendary jianghu warrior 'Red Heroine'

[fossil cove]

I swear when i catch this games writer….

[subtle radish]

Same spelling but different character one is 天 the boss with 3face mask is 田

[surreal karma]

No, it was Yi Dao

[gleaming night]

Talk to people in Heaven's Pier.

[echo notch]

already done that, still missing the 3rd one

[gleaming night]

Idk then

[south citrus]

Hello, I need help. I am looking for a fragment of waves for the tales and echoes of Qinghe. In the dark wave, it is the very last one. I need four, and I am missing the first one. It tells the story of Tian Ying.

[granite pagoda]

I can't remember where I got the last one but there's a video on youtube that shows you how to get all dark surges of qinghe

[south citrus]

Thanks

[timid cobalt]

I decided to go legend difficulty as I enjoyed the puppet fight the best on my recommended difficulty run (and let's be honest I was not ready to continue after the end of act 1, trauma too strong) and I noticed that when you talk with people in the generals shrine, you learn that pretty much everything changed 3 years ago when your uncle left.

So far I learnt that the last monk in Qinche left, the Mountain Mansion closed, the Northern Vow moved I think.

So I am guessing something big started 3 years ago that we will find out later?

[gleaming night]

You gotta pay attention to Tian Ying story if you're curious.

[humble stirrup]

i decided to give my character a beard in my first playthrough but when I learned he's only 16, I was like wtf did I just do??

[timid cobalt]

I mean depending which country you come from, a 14 year old can have a full beard. Just say his alcoholism matured him fast 😆

[timid cobalt]

I need to get more lore for this as I only heard that name in the initial letter.

[gleaming night]

Lmao some players made their characters into grandpa.

[humble stirrup]

this one in particular is chinese so that's almost impossible plus wuxia characters cultivate so they can look young most times

[timid cobalt]

Fair enough, if you are set on immersion then I'd say you can either pretend he glued that beard to look more manly or just go and remove it. It is actually free as it is in the makeup preset.

[timid mortar]

Yi Dao was in the explosion it was Aunt Han

[surreal karma]

I was just joking 😭

[timid mortar]

OH HAAHAHA MB

[young rose]

Nah bro it was clearly Granny

[mortal viper]

I refuse to get attached to any characters after Ruby. It has jaded my entire playthrough lol. Any new characters I see that I think I might like I'm like "nah they are gonna dissapear too aren't they"

[rancid spindle]

so is heartseeker the same person as aunt han? i dont get it

[shadow tiger]

the only death in this game i care so far was killerblade idk abt ruby

[deft gulch]

I Still have yet to trigger that, and I am scared when I do-

[signal locust]

As far as I understand Heartseeker was your inner demon. It has the face of aunt Han representing your character deciding to go against her commands and leave to join the Jianghu.

But the whole fight was basically metaphorical

[rancid spindle]

its honestly very confusing that she also has the same weapon as Qingue

[signal locust]

Yeah that is interesting 🤔

I don't know what causes your character to collapse and enter that realm with Heartseeker and there were other spirits in there which makes me think it wasnt entirely in your head but that you were trapped somewhere until you overcame your demon

[rancid spindle]

What if it's Qingue's magic? An illusion to troll our MC before her inevitable appearance

[high wolf]

What if this world was artificially created for our entertainment and the characters inside the little world didn’t know about our existence.

[slow pier]

Excuse me folks. How do I continue the bodai sea campaign if I left the boss arena to do something else? Not sure how to get to the boss again.

Nvm figured it out

[strong meteor]

What is Qianye like on the non-legend difficulties?

[signal locust]

The same but less damage

Maybe less HP too

Its just stat changes, the bosses arent any different

[little hornet]

Other than the mysterious character by Heaven's Pier, does the story of 'Man in the Well' extend into any other Encounters/Wandering Tales? Checking my bases on a thing.

[signal raptor]

anyone have any suggestions for the boss fight ||Tian Ying||? I keep falling short due to second phase eating up all my heals

[young rose]

Yes and no

[young rose]

Qi deviation as said by the facelss one or atleast implied, I forgot the name

[young rose]

I noticed a bad habit of mine in that fight, bringing the least effective healing, and then healing with only a few damage you can heal a bit later, and honestly just learn the moves so you can deflect or dodge easily

[signal locust]

Ah yes I too fight my aunt weilding a scythe when my qi deviates

[signal locust]

It pretty much boils down to memorizing his moves and parrying. 3 phases are intimidating but his moveset is on the more predictable side

Doesn't have all the fakeouts and lightning fast combos of say Qianye

[gloomy lake]

Just did the '' Her Legacy '' counter 😭

[young rose]

It is the character's heart demon or something

[tired spear]

I finally got the Qinghe exploration outfit 😩 took me foreveeerrrrr

[abstract orbit]

Take the strongest heals.
Choose Yi Dao for some extra heals and sustain.
Learn to finish first phase without using heals and with at least 50% of hp.

In second phase a lot of guides say to bait kicks from range for easy parrying. Personally I didn't have patience for it, too boring, drags the fight. So I'd suggest to fight as you feel natural in that phase. Safely tho.

If you getting hit by his big sand guy summon's 3 attacks, run to the left arena's edge nect to him (almost behind), those 3 attacks cant reach you there. Wait for first attack, reemerge for parrying the second one (that ones easy), hide for third -> charge attack him before he recovers.

[abstract orbit]

Then 3rd phase is really straightforward, you just have to parry/dodge/block. When he summons sand clones stagger them (spear normal attack for me was perfect) and press parry when Tian Ying appears.

[gleaming night]

Man I didn't expect to get that juicy cutscene after helping that courtesan in Flower Expanse. They didn't even mark it as an important quest!

[abstract orbit]

Wait what I dont remember any juicy cutscene. Where is it? I only remember the flower picking girl.

[gleaming night]

It's on the north section of the flower expanse. You need to find two people talking and pick up a hairpin? I think then you need to talk to the girl inside a carriage.

Also, I just befriended a Midnight Blade named Nameless in Thousand Buddha Valley. He gave me a token. I’m assuming I can use this to join the Midnight Blades? Not that I’m interested. I like the vibe and the outfit, but man, I suck at PvP.

[granite pagoda]

Is this an encounter quest?

[gleaming night]

No. One of those mini quest without even any quest mark.

MC get ||kidnapped again. Gosh dang it this kid has to learn at some point!||

[split plaza]

I was just talking about how that quest sort of 'ruined' the later main quest narrative

[gleaming night]

Flower picking girl? That's not the ugly lady I assume.

[abstract orbit]

Wait are we talking about the red expanse north (with spider lilies) or the purple/violet one? I think they are both flower expanse or smth

[gleaming night]

Purple

[abstract orbit]

Ahhh, I meant the red one. The flower picking girl is in there searching for big spider lily

[gleaming night]

It's called flower expanse in the map

[gleaming night]

Did you search the wrong one lmao

[abstract orbit]

Nah Im at work anyways. I think one is called flower expanse and the other floral expanse. Kinda confusing lol

[wispy wagon]

how do you guys feel about ruby?

[gleaming night]

Blame the localization team

[split plaza]

do we know who yingying's brother is?

[abstract orbit]

I like Ruby, she's a great character. I don't understand why people find her annoying (or her voice but i play with cn dub). She's this type of "annoying little sh of a young sister" character, but in a good way.

[wispy wagon]

Part of me feels like "she seems like a realistic little sister"

Tho sometimes im thinking "goddamn it ruby nows not the time"

[gleaming night]

I think you're mistaking the quest here. This isn't the one that leads us to underground market.

[round plover]

How it ruin it?

[gleaming night]

He's talking about how it's strange that the mc acts as if they have never been to the underground market when we have visisted it during a quest where we got kidnapped by unbound cavern thugs

[round plover]

Ah

[gleaming night]

Note though the quest I was talking about is completely different. It's related to Aurate Pavilion.

[round plover]

Honestly that was a weird quest in general get kidnapped and randomly end up in ghost area

[round plover]

Yeah I know

Can’t come back to that area I missed chests

But yes the quest is much more important than you’d expect for a unmarked quest

[split plaza]

you mean the MC got kidnapped AGAIN? 🤣

[round plover]

Well yes

[limber basin]

hey! not sure if this belongs here but i would like to ask, since i saw a few spoilers about what happens with Qinghe i would like to know if its safe to progress the story even when i don't have 100% exploration of the zone. will i miss any kind of collectibles or stuff later for 100% the zone? thank you in advance :)

[wispy wagon]

Again? You mean they got kidnaoped a second time?

[granite pagoda]

Try to finish blissful 100% before u finish qinghe msq, that’s it

[limber basin]

ah nice, thank you! C:

[thorn dragon]

anyone done the Man in the Well encounter? I didn't quite get the ending.

[granite pagoda]

#📖lore-chat message

[thorn dragon]

i'll ask there too. I figured the answer's a spoiler so I sent it here first. thanks

[granite pagoda]

No it's a link to someone's message explaining the quest

[thorn dragon]

I just realized that when I clicked earlier. thank you

[young rose]

I only just realize now Blissful retreat isn't destroyed in multiplayer

[sudden peak]

so what happened to jiang yan?

[ivory cobalt]

Hello, what bosses are yet to come out from the Chinese server? Where can I find info on this - thanks

[rotund briar]

wait where did it say this but dang that makes sense

[rotund briar]

Oh so u just piece together the clues

[faint wolf]

Man F them kids for that quest I made them stay ugly lol

[rare eagle]

i hope you got all the chests in that area 😂

don't think it's possible to go back

[gleaming night]

I didn't...

[rare eagle]

ouch

[mortal viper]

This is how I feel whenever I see Aureate Pavilion units lol.

[round plover]

Same they deserve it and haven’t learned any lessons

[young rose]

Unlesshing all the skills right off the bat, prolonging their suffering by exhausting them and just letting the timer run out showing that they don't even stand a chance

Honestly on my second play through I'm taking lots of pictures with Ruby, won't take pictures with Yi Dao once again and just keep the ugly doodle that an NPC gave me for the lols

[gleaming night]

Have you played the quest? I recommend it. It's funny lol.

[split plaza]

which area to trigger this?

[gleaming night]

Flower expanse, purple one, north side. You need to find two people talking and then pick up a nearby hairpin. Then go to the woman in the carriage. She'll tell you to attack some outposts.

[split plaza]

oh yeah I've triggered that one except two of the three she wanted done is under refresh 😅

I'll look forward to that

[past meteor]

Has anyone found the location of the new 56 lv divinecraft mission?

[last path]

Ruby

[round plover]

Literally just go to quests

[vestal frigate]

I was peak confused lmao

[gleaming night]

I thought it was a bug lol

[round plover]

That time we reincarnated as a horse novel

[vestal frigate]

i was like did we die and now gonna play as horse?

[round plover]

If a bear can use tai chi why not a horse

[past meteor]

If you do not approuch it you cannot literally see it

[round plover]

Really because I’ve had it in my quest log for like 2 weeks and just went to it right away

[past meteor]

It literally appeared today as a new level gap 56lv is unlocked xD are you american?

[round plover]

Australian and i couldn’t do the quest till today was still in my log though

[ebon parrot]

I'm having issues with the 'her legacy' quest at kilnfire ridge, the woodcutter NPC won't talk to me lol

it's tilting me

[small marten]

same lol, the fact that none were repentant

[wispy wagon]

So i found a ghost deer and who i think was the blind lady when she wasnt blind

Uh. Ive beaten the blacksmith guy and the dude in the half mask. Who do i have left in qinghe

[deft gulch]

OK you all, you need to help me find the dream scene!

||I keep hearing that we get a dream scene I want it, I need it. I wanna see everyone again-||

[gloomy lake]

If you stand infront of the temple in blissful retreat (the one that they are currently rebuilding) and look towards the binding stone you will see a tree to your left. There you'll find a Tundercry Blade wich you will be able to touch

[deft gulch]

Thank you-

[gloomy lake]

No worries! Let me know what you think 👀

[deft gulch]

this feels like the Vail story all over again-

wh you saying that

[gloomy lake]

I wont say more haha

[tough rover]

YI DAOOOOOOOO 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

https://tenor.com/view/cat-crying-cat-cat-meme-cat-crying-meme-crying-cat-meme-gif-7433931244412524776

[gloomy lake]

How you doing?

[deft gulch]

got distracted by a quest lol I'm going now

[young rose]

Feels incoming

Oh right I haven't done that in my second playthrough

[ebon holly]

Eh, there is talk about some potentially missable content in terms of quests and befriending some people, but idk for sure. I'd err on the side of caution and at least complete the quests around ||Heaven's Pier and Blissful Retreat|| before moving on

[gloomy lake]

Right??? Its so sad 😭

[lost flare]

god yeah, i was genuinely emotional when i first did that

truly unfair how the game twists the knife, and i love it

[gloomy lake]

Same!

[young rose]

And world boss Yi Dao? Kicked me so bad the first time

[lost flare]

he is still consistently kicking me. i mean i knew i wasn't great at the game but the way he's wiping the floor with me is ridiculous

still... i don't mind. at least i can see him TT_TT

[gloomy lake]

Yeah he was SO strong

[gloomy lake]

👀

[lost flare]

don't you 👀 me, i am being extremely respectful and definitely do not consider him one of the most handsome characters in the game so far

[tall tapir]

|| Wthh ruby dies?! Naurrr ||

[gloomy lake]

I mean, we dont really entirely know

[mortal viper]

I'm holding out hope. I know it's a fool's hope, but we didn't see her body so maybe we can get her back. Somehow.

[quick dagger]

I don't think if I was making a game, id show a child getting murdered

[mortal viper]

I guess I mean, we didn't go get her body and bury it, or stack stones on her little grave.

[quick dagger]

they've left it to you to understand that because they understably don't want to animate that

[quick dagger]

although the human market exists

[quick dagger]

oh wait that's Kaifeng

still

[mortal viper]

For me it's like that meme ending to ||Metamorphosis||. Jojo came out from behind a rock and took her away.

[quick dagger]

it's about the same level as ruby death so

[gloomy lake]

I see both ends here, we will just have to wait and see heh

[quick dagger]

reminds me of that mission from ready or not

[tall tapir]

Please 😭

[quick dagger]

I hope not, she yaps too much

imagine her and little fu meeting ughhhh

[gloomy lake]

Those together would be something hahaha

[quick dagger]

oh and the kid for that one quest which gets you the uhhh canglang sword manual

[ebon holly]

And here I am, skipping dialogue by accident lmao

But I get your point, yeah

[tall tapir]

She's a kid tho and it's a bit sad because she tried to save everyone

[lost flare]

I often end up not liking kid sidekicks, but I loved Ruby from the start, she really gave me those little sister vibes that got me instantly attached

[mortal viper]

It would be absolutely amazing.

[mortal viper]

I completely agree, or headstrong daughter energy for us older players lol

[lofty lark]

I was expecting a tuff duo journey with killer blade and then as time passes come back and meet ruby again when she is older

😔

[somber dome]

real

[somber dome]

SAME, i wanted to marry Blade

HE IS SO HUSBAND

[signal locust]

Idk about husband, half your interactions are him beating you up

He is a baddy though and he means well

[swift zenith]

I would like my MC to marry Zheng E

they seem to be capable of empathizing with each other

[ripe terrace]

[vestal frigate]

who? i don't think we have met anyone who's marriage material in the main story

[signal locust]

Idk, Big Zhao seems like a great husband

Unless he's already married, haven't gotten that far

[signal locust]

He's from a side campaign

[vestal frigate]

spoilers ||someone in lore chat said it's heavily implied he's the emperor soooo i doubt he's not married unless you want t join his harem||

[signal locust]

Ey yo big green flag

[vestal frigate]

what's his back story? i don't think i have done that side campaign yet

[signal locust]

I haven't either, apparently it just became available this week

[vestal frigate]

i thought he was already with auntie?

[signal locust]

He's cute but the fact you have to kick his ahh gives me low hopes for his personality

[vestal frigate]

lol @swift zenith really just into it for his face ig

[swift zenith]

yall don't want enough cdramas thats basically expected LMAO

[vestal frigate]

I'm more of a reader lol

but i get what you mean

[wispy wagon]

hey guys, how do i trigger the conditions to get the magic deer to spawn

[empty mesa]

Hello. Has anyone obtained Concealed Edge yet? I don't know why I can only use it on spears, rope dart and dual swords only. I wanted to use on a single sword tho.

[abstract orbit]

Do you mean this one? Is he not there at all?

[faint wolf]

He is a potential character in the future Don't click the spoiler if you don't want to get spoiled

[abstract orbit]

Cool!

[spark salmon]

what are the 12 calamities?

[wispy wagon]

I couldnt find hom before

[abstract orbit]

I think the prerequisite is gleaming abyss but not sure since i found him on his spot

[wispy wagon]

To think we went through thw effort to help it

[wispy wagon]

I managed to find him in the end

Its was pretty fickle to find the altars

I dont really understand the end of that mission

[abstract orbit]

Right? I went in the direction of the light on ground and it was always a bit offtrack

[wispy wagon]

So it left and a tree spawned in

Did that guy say there wont be any fruits from that tree?

[abstract orbit]

Yeah the guy is basically there just to mock you into believing in mythical tales about deer and some weird magical fruit. ||With this quest, by offering the fruit and planting a tree, you somehow weakened the roots that were holding the deer and released him from his seal or smth||

I think that you basically ||gave the deer a powerup and now he goes to recover and later fight us for some reason||

[wispy wagon]

Hmm ah i also inadvertedly started the blind guy quest while doing the ruby legacy quest

Does he come back in the future

[abstract orbit]

This I dont know, but most probably yes. I havent encountered a thing thats completely missable.

[quick dagger]

no ||he's the brother of a royal figure, I forgot exactly what tho, but it's something his brother reached, definition not emperor||

[wispy wagon]

Isnt ||he zhao khuanying? Im reading here that he's taizu of song.||

[thorny stone]

What's Tian Ying's problem? Someone comes and without bothering to check who he starts swinging?

[thorny stone]

That kinda makes sense..

[abstract orbit]

well I forgot links dont work, search "The Story of Tian Ying" on r/wherewindsmeet_

[thorny stone]

Did. Didn't explain why he goes ham. And shows real face if he wasn't looking for death (ours or his).
But testing makes sense.

[wispy wagon]

could you send an image on the map ||as to where his house is?||

i think i missed that part when i went to fight the puppeteer again

[young rose]

But they showed us ||a child literally burning|| but can't show a clean hit?

[quick dagger]

where did they show the child burning?

[young rose]

Newest campaign

||at first it was basically a child being preserved or something ||

[quick dagger]

when'd it release

[small marten]

I stumbled into the 'Her Legacy' encounter while completing another. Didn't know what it was about and that scroll took me so damn long to find. Only for me to open it and see Heroine Rubine's treasure. You guys let me know, is this quest gonna be sad?

[quick dagger]

I believe so

[small marten]

oh well.
(tucks treasure map back into bag)

[ebon holly]

Guys, just confirming something: the ||Qianye|| we fight at Still Shore is seemingly just an illusion caused by the book - like we were practicing too much and had a hallucination, right?

But if that's the case, why the heck did we think of a person we had never (knowingly) met at that point?

[quick dagger]

wdym

[ebon holly]

As in: the Young Master had a hallucination where they fought a person they had never met before. Has the Mysterious Book forced her image on your mind?

[quick dagger]

which ones qianye again? the double witch?

[ebon holly]

Yup. The Heartseeker at Still Shore uses her appearance, so I've been wondering exactly why

[quick dagger]

she does?

[ebon holly]

Seemingly, yes. I've even checked the Journal to make sure, but it was something that made me pretty confused during that one quest

[full wren]

Same model, i would like i was even thought that was aunt han when she was yound but no the same as the witch

[full wren]

Idk if this count, we met her before, cause we served her some wine in the cutscene in blissful retreat. And aunt han have conversation with her

[quick dagger]

probably just lazy character design

[young rose]

Our character even said in the stillshore campaign story "Aunt Han?"

The heartseeker used aunt Han's image not Qianye's

[young rose]

Zheng E

[swift zenith]

I dont think its a coincidence that we saw Aunt Han and yet somehow she also resembles and uses Qianye's powers

[lost flare]

Qianye is also said to change appearances and no one knows what her true face is. might be that she did something to influence MC during the dream

[swift zenith]

there is indication that she had a twin sibling from CN

[wispy wagon]

I think we saw the implication in the dream sequence with the white haired version

[lost flare]

yeah! also Aunt Han is tied to the doctor who changes people's face isn't she? i figured it might be something to do with that and her past

[swift zenith]

apparently Aunt Han left her brother behind in some burning fire situation

The CN think her brother became some weird frankenstein that is Qianye

[wispy wagon]

Isnt the guy underground related to her?

[swift zenith]

The Faceless? yeah he is a spy that had a failed plastic surgery

[wispy wagon]

I mean like wasnt there more of a relationship?

Or am i misremembering

[swift zenith]

it wasnt more persay than loyalty, but you the mc met him when you were young, he recognizes you

[wispy wagon]

Oh right i think i asked this before but it wasnt really answered

So ti yiang

||where is his house located? Ive been trying ti find info on it online to no avail||

[quick dagger]

you doing need to spoiler everything

literally spoiler chat 😔

[wispy wagon]

Just in case

[tulip acorn]

this is the rare time where I'll say it's okay to not put spoiler tags because everyone should know this is spoiling qinghe region

[quick dagger]

fr

[young rose]

Han had a brother, you can even visit the grave

[young rose]

Blissful retreat, where aunt Han poured wine into the sea

[deft gulch]

....

for this crime I will now be playing tree from the vines in Online mode for the sadness I just witnessed

I am never touching that sword again

[shell creek]

Can i still 100% qinghe even if im already done with cHapter 1 like blissful retreat is now in ruins and do i miss some side quests

[somber dome]

Jokes on him, i'm into that sh*t

[somber dome]

NO he's mine

[vestal frigate]

[somber dome]

Omg. Why cant it help us and be a mount instead of fighting us

[somber dome]

ill fight aunt Han for him

😭

[ebon holly]

Thank you for the answers on Qianye earlier! Starting to think it’s probably her influencing the MC already

Since, again, it seems like an illusion

Though the MC did think she was Auntie at first, so idk if it was just a mistake or if there’s something else going on

[low yoke]

Its a conceptual fight, you fought the concept of a heart demon.

There was no real fight, you just went crazy, the story however did a foreshadowing because looking back into that hazy memory where you fought your inner demon...

You saw someone who ruined your childhood, wearing the face that you are looking for desperately.

Kinda a plot point sorta deal. In reality all you did was act crazy like a drugged up addict in an empty room by yourself

[signal locust]

I wouldn't be surprised if it she cast some qi deviation spell when we met her that caused it though

[humble stirrup]

Tian Ying is my guy even though I bullied him in the trials lol it's worth trying to piece out the lores of the two regions even though the game got broken english

[humble stirrup]

auntie's already got a lover and he presumably died but I think he's not and he might be a future campaign boss

[hushed otter]

I thought "consensual fight", I was like

[vestal frigate]

where do ppl learn all this lore??

[twin nest]

He fell into the river so I doubt he could survive, but hope so so that we can learn more about Aunt Han

[signal locust]

If my experiments using Tai Chi on various members of several different factions are correct, no one in China can swim

[abstract orbit]

It will be a quest telling you to go there. It was in journal - tales and echoes. And when you find all fragments of dark surges it will open the finale.

[abstract orbit]

I started putting spoiler on this, because people come here when Ruby dies and TY is finale of the whole qinghe map thats not even part of the main story quest chain

[humble stirrup]

Bullied Tian Ying so hard he started marching towards the North with a different personality git gud bro

[quick dagger]

this is how I find out that isn't the main storyline

[abstract orbit]

well it is main story line, but like its not part of that main quest chain, you have to collect fragments in tales and echoes

[quick dagger]

oh so no cutscenes and stuff like the ruby part?

[abstract orbit]

Hmmm, there are some. But you are completing dynamic events in the openworld (like encounters and stuff) and it gives you clues and pieces of the story which you can read in tales and echoes (in journal)

[round plover]

Once you get all the fragments you go somewhere for cutscene also all the quests are basically related to tian ying

[humble stirrup]

frog guy definitely reminded me of someone lol loved this movie so much (kungfu hustle)

[low yoke]

That guy is a carbon copy of this guy

Down to the lines, "you want to learn? I'll teach you" is what the MC told him after he was defeated in Kung Fu Hustle.

This game's first 60 minutes is basically Kung Fu Hustle the Game, with the amount of references. Buddha palm, toad arts, the bell amped lions roar... And eventually we'll get the cartoon run animation as a mount complete with the elegant diving through the air jump animation. In the cash shop.

[hearty basin]

||is the Li Zhongdui guy the Kaifeng Prefecture guy we meet later?||

[quick dagger]

who?

[hearty basin]

||Secret Cutscene after you complete Qinghe Bright Path/Dark Surge. Is he the same guy that we meet in Kaifeng? The one Big Zhao knows?||

[sullen dirge]

Did ruby really get whacked?

[inner mountain]

NOOOO RUMBER DIEDD

[rigid surge]

...sadly. But I'm still here coping that she's alive somewhere

[twin nest]

No they are different. Guy in Kaifeng is the brother of BigZhao. Li Zhongdui is the alter ego of Tian Ying to infiltrate Khitan.

[rigid surge]

||Wait, a secret cutscene?||

[gleaming night]

That's Tian Ying... the whole side stories in Qinghe focus on Tian Ying past.

[gleaming night]

You can get secret cutscene by completing Dark Surge.

[rigid surge]

||How do you access the Dark Surge menu again? I mean, I've fought Tian Ying already, but I forgot where you access it... menus and stuff.||

[gleaming night]

It's in journal.. tales and something. It's the third option iirc

And this is spoiler channel no need to censor info about qinghe story

[hearty basin]

so we haven't met Li Zhongdui ingame so far?

[gleaming night]

No

[rigid surge]

Uh... who's Li Zhongdui?

Not really familiar with Chinese history

[granite pagoda]

Tian Ying's new alias I think

[hearty basin]

Tian Ying didn't die after the boss fight. You unlock a secret cutscene after finishing dark surge that explains it

[rigid surge]

I'm definitely gonna have to complete these dark surges now.

[hearty basin]

Good luck, some of those, I had to consult a walkthrough 😅

[rigid surge]

Which is what I'm doing.

[signal locust]

Actual footage:

[twin nest]

No not yet. Hope we will in the future

[quiet pivot]

is chu qingquan in game on cn? can someone give a spoiler on his looks very curious

[granite pagoda]

He's dead, according to Yi Dao

[vestal frigate]

OLD WANG IS THE EMEPEROR SOMEONE GLASS LIGFHTED ME INTO THINKING OTHERWISE

big wang whatever his name is

[granite pagoda]

Wang?

[signal locust]

Massive Wang

-# Big Zhao?

He def got that big "wang" energy

Iykyk

But no I think someone mentioned that earlier and he's definitely some important official but not quite Emperor? Correct me if I'm wrong

[granite pagoda]

Do you mean big Zhao or Wang I'm confused.

[signal locust]

I thought that's who they were referring to here?

Idk

[floral carbon]

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[quiet pivot]

yeah i know but like, is his look ever revealed or not? XD

[jagged bluff]

Qianye always screws with me since several of her red attacks have the exact same windup

[jagged bluff]

Nvm I just sucked

I understand it now

[honest fox]

How can I enter the secret room behind the Barrels in Kilnfire Ridge? All information I can find the doors are already open

[wispy wagon]

Find 4 large bells, ring them and you get the landlady's roar. You can also get the buddha's palm skill, but i cant recall how

[rigid surge]

Do the "The place where buddha weeps"

[wispy wagon]

Right. Its a quick quest

[tall tapir]

After playing her legacy encounter it's set in stone then....

[wispy wagon]

You'll fill that void soon

with meow meow

[rare eagle]

is tian ying the hardest boss?

[little hornet]

Depends on playstyle. I found Wolf Maiden harder.

[tall tapir]

And I just had to meet a cat today that didn't let me pet it 😭

That's worse than the kid dying

[signal locust]

When I talked to Meow-Meow in Kaifeng right after the msq and it said something like: "Meow-Meow is mad at you right now."

I almost ended it all right there

[spark sky]

Does anyone know where to find the "Strange Guest" after the village burns down? I have a Wandering Tales item I need to give to him, and he is no longer by the docks.

[signal locust]

Is he in the dream village?

[spark sky]

He isn't. Which is weird

I tried asking this question in the other chat, but people were less than helpful. Sarcastic even....lol

I would post an image, but for some reason this server wont let me lol.

[signal locust]

Yeah you need to level up more to send pictures

[signal locust]

It looka like a few people tried to help. Encounters are random by nature and you can't force one to spawn

[spark sky]

So the thing is, that NPC isn't a random encounter

He has always been there

It wasn't until after the fire that he wasn't there anymore.

Unless he becomes one after the fire Lol

I guess I'll just keep checking.

[signal locust]

I couldn't say myself.

I'm not familiar with the guy

[signal locust]

If he's not in the dreamscape with the dead NPCs, or in Heavens Pier with the refugees I really couldn't say

[rare eagle]

beat her no hit. tian ying im having issues with XD

tho in my defence.. he has some bugged out moves.

he's also so damned long... fatigue sets in

[trail rapids]

In the "talk to Ruby on the dream" encounter she's standing in the hut. What if I just...don't talk to her. Will she stay there forever then? 🥹

I should talk to her though 😔

I'm jealous of the people who found her annoying 💔

[twin nest]

I found him at the dock, after the village burns down. Maybe you need to wait for 2 or 3 days

[round plover]

Yeah he randomly reappeared

[signal locust]

NPC spawn rules are weird and poorly understood.

I've seen people crash out in Question channel because people wouldn't tell them how to force an NPC to spawn where they should be

[round plover]

I have at least two people I need to friend who won’t even appear and had one archery NPC who took like 20 go to spawn

[humble stirrup]

hits hard the second time

[steel parrot]

bro it|| was a puppet bug? i thought he was poisoined||

||like actually poisoned, not "he was used by the puppet bug" type of poison||

was the puppet bug explained somewhere else? or did they just not explain it in the mission in that way

cause ik people have said the English translation sometimes doesnt explain well the story

[granite pagoda]

Probably players figure it out on their own by the general dying twice

[pallid crown]

playing through a 2nd time and im still clinging to hope ruby still alive

[ruby kraken]

i think the content of the chest was hinted to? that it was something purple or something. i cannot remember anymore, but yes, it was hinted in the story itself

[gleaming night]

Yi Dao's last thoughts...

[vestal frigate]

I was confused as to how the horse survived

[umbral monolith]

IKR? a rANDOM HORSE WITH 10 ARROWS ON IT'S BACK LIVED

but ruby died? what the heck?

https://tenor.com/view/nalog-gif-25906765

[gleaming night]

Tbf the horse body is like bigger than a child and the arrows could be hitting muscle and not organs. Ruby on the other hand is very squishy

[umbral monolith]

bro horses die from a random splinter in their leg let alone arrows on their back

and i am pretty sure in the cinematic you see the horse shield ruby and she still somehow died but the horse didn't?

i get they do it for the drama plot and tear jerkers are easy to do but not cool man 🙁

[gleaming night]

She got hit by Qianye's arrows.

There's just no proper hints that might imply Ruby is alive. In fact two quests in Qinghe blatantly pointed out that she's dead.

[umbral monolith]

oh yeah she is dead fr fr but they way it happened was cheap

[lost flare]

honestly i feel like it would be a bit underwhelming if she somehow survived... but maybe i'm just a sucker for the drama

[spring remnant]

i still want to know whos hand it was in red that grabbed us when we lost bro in the cutscene to the witch

[rigid surge]

Even so, I am coping mighty hard rn.

[rigid surge]

Probably Aunt Han.

[somber dome]

Aunt Han

[spring remnant]

is aunt han confirmed or speculations - because we about to get to know her on deeper level it seems in future

[gloomy lake]

Wait what, now this is something that I dont remember 😮

[tulip aurora]

I got all 3, i haven't used it but it looks like in my cosmetic weapons tab, I'm given the preview option for single sword

By all 3, I mean the 3 tokens to make 3 concealed weapons

[pallid crown]

the reason horses die with leg injurys is because theyre hooves act as pumps and pump blood arpund the body, so if the horse cant walk its F-----d, but yes hard to belive it survived a arrow in the back

[solemn night]

Maaan and I thought I was done after MSQ and Her Legacy, came back to QingHe to do some stuff and this kid just casually says this, I need a break 😭

[solemn night]

that's Aunt Han no? like, that's her robes

[spring remnant]

@gloomy lake in the cutscene after we drink with killerblade (bro) while the witch as hot as she is, aura farms on us - bro knocks us away before being stabbed by the hot witch and goes bro mode on 'em all as he gets into our hearts and reactions screaming at the screen WHYY NOO , it's seen the MC tries to get in there after bro although there's a hand with red clothing pulling us backwards before kabooooooom

[signal locust]

Yeah she just leaves you passed out on the floor and leaves off screen without you

[spring remnant]

hmm if that is Aunt han how does she get in there in the perfect timing possible she had her hands full or am i delulu

[gleaming night]

The underground is Still Shore's base. It's possible she was there to clear up the area removing anything that might be useful for Aureate Pavilion.

[signal locust]

Don't get me started on Aunt Han

Sitting there the whole time not helping while everyone was slaughtered and leaving without a word

I'm gonna find that woman and knock her block into next week

[spring remnant]

@gleaming night it's possible although it feels so cheap or rather very sus quality to rest of story; if she was chilling waiting for us to do something stooped before interfering - even if she did do that it speaks high volume about aunt han which we still dont know even tho we thought we had a good picture of her character, no ?

[pallid crown]

yeah aunt hun kinda sucks all she done so far is finish of a large horse Which we had handled ISH, and tell us to copy some books

[hearty basin]

I'm doing wandering tales Bodhi sea pt3 (A good deed) and i accidentally gave jingnan's pack to karma instead of jingnan, completing the quest. is there a way for me to get a 2nd pack so I can give it to jingnan instead? lol

[gloomy lake]

Oh yes, ur right!

[hollow whale]

I didn't know you can give it to other people

[hearty basin]

some wandering tales have multiple endings

[fallow swan]

hiii, I just finished the quest and I would truly love these for my closure.. I can’t find the tree for the life of me.. can you send them to me as well, please?

[gleaming night]

Lmao first time the MC lose their patience lolol.

[steel parrot]

[wispy wagon]

Is this the hut you guys mentioned before?

[signal locust]

What hut?

That's not tian yings place no

That's literally just north of the tower where you fight him

At the base of the mountain

[hollow whale]

Lol the seven step snake

[gleaming night]

My favorite side quests so far

[wispy wagon]

Man this is the info i needed

[rotund briar]

If you’re looking for that place to complete dark surge

If you click the thing

It tracks it for you

You can place a marker and find it

atleast thats what I did

[wispy wagon]

Dark surge?

[rotund briar]

The tales and echoes thing

Isn’t that why you need to find the hut?

[wispy wagon]

No, im looking for it for more lore

[rotund briar]

Ah I see

[wispy wagon]

i think i found the hut

it says i need to complete tales and echoes

[azure mountain]

Y'know. I accidentally kinda got indirectly spoiled about what was going to happen with Ruby. Did not make her death hit any less harder. So props to the game for that.

[granite pagoda]

She grew on us so fast as the story progressed, those simple moments with Ruby, I miss it

[wispy wagon]

i think she didnt grow on me enough since i did the 1st chapter in1 go

[full wren]

You need to rank up in this server

[karmic wigeon]

Rubys letter makes mee cry soooo much...

[rare eagle]

i do not want to play anymore

i know too much

😭

[swift sail]

Question, can you still comb your hair in chapter 2?

Or does that building....become destroyed for plot reasons

[glossy raft]

you can still comb your hair

[azure mountain]

To be fair, I'm an older sibling with much younger brothers, so I'm right in the strike zone for the MCs relationship with Ruby XD

[lilac pond]

Ruby come back..

[boreal ledge]

GUYS I HAVE A THEORY

@lilac pond w theory?

[lilac pond]

I think she's alive

But

I'm trying to come up with a theory of why she's running away

Who's hiding her and why

I'm 100% sure she's not dead

[floral carbon]

She's confirmed dead. The name on the gravestone was for Ruby.

[hollow whale]

yeah, when the festival begins, i stroll around and talked to everyone and take lots of pictures lol

[gleaming night]

Cope

[wispy wagon]

Finally beat sleepy daoist

I had a harder time with him than with tian ying

Or whatever his name was

[faint wolf]

Hello. Sorry for the late response. The Icons is where it's marked at. My screenshot is bright because I have HDR on.

[fallow swan]

thank you very much!! ❤️

[young rose]

Basically on top of where Ruby copied books for us

So she died on top of our house

[gloomy lake]

I can’t 🥺😭

[young rose]

You can but there are limited free hairstyles I think around 10

[gloomy lake]

Might be the reason then, but I dont recall me doing it over 5 times, I think tops 2-3

[azure mountain]

I freaking gave up and used Companion assist - though the game glitched and just gave me the buff and not the actual character.

[young rose]

You still can

[azure mountain]

... Why you do this.

[gloomy lake]

Thats weird then, is there any other area that you know of?

[subtle radish]

You can check the hair styles in the fashion menu hair section

If you 10 hairstyles that nane hairstyle 1 to 10 then you got them all

You can even preview hairstyles you haven't get yet

[young rose]

Still can after getting all the free ones

oops got hairstyle 12 then I cannot anymore, maybe you got all the free ones?

[elder mist]

How to get panacea fan arts if you still in Qinghe

[gleaming night]

.... just click the panacea fan martial arts in the develop menu. Click obtain and it'll tell you where to get it.

It's inside a cave near the Qinghe oddities guy btw and the first world boss.

[elder mist]

Thank you, got it through joining the sect at the end.

[wispy wagon]

I had to level up no name spear. I was running infernal blades and no name sword before

[spring remnant]

I gotchu gang

[small scarab]

man how tf do i git gud enough to beat qianye? her phase 2 is absolutely demolishing me

[old cypress]

u believe

[young rose]

I was getting my A** kicked and then I started to believe, didn't even need to heal

[reef tiger]

yeah seems like in chinese servers, u will be able to rebuild blissful retreat

he the dude who is in charge of the aureate thugs, and caused blissful retreat to burn

[signal locust]

https://tenor.com/view/nine-sols-parry-nine-sols-game-yi-nine-sols-yi-gif-4679426193460252462

The red form has a few fairly predictable combos and I think 1 or 2 really nasty ones to just get away from unless you are a parry god

[novel maple]

parry attack parry parry attack parry parry attack attack attack, done

[signal locust]

White form, if you can't predict her fakeouts try to keep her on the floor with control effects until it ends

Leap>Guardian palm will dodge almost anything she does

And flatten her

[indigo spoke]

Worst case, assist deflection trivializes the fight 😂

[reef tiger]

guys, on the chinese server, they were saying how if we think qinghe's main story was depressing, hexi's main story is gonna destroy us 🥺 😢 ; im not ready for this pain

[reef tiger]

pretty sure she likes women

[somber dome]

what the. More sad stories???

[low yoke]

A story like Kaifeng's is as happy as it gets.

This is a sad sad time period.

[somber dome]

I'll remind myself to never be emotionally attached to any npcs when i play hexi

[low yoke]

That's the only way to survive in this Jianghu

[somber dome]

real

also do you know when will we be able to join Velvet Shades

[low yoke]

But it also makes the relationships you build all the more endearing, because you know they're the ones worth the pain and heartache

[granite pagoda]

14th of december

[somber dome]

OMGOMGOMG WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS

[granite pagoda]

Someone said youbneed high elegance score

[reef tiger]

I didn't look too much into it cus i didnt wanna be spoiled, but its also heartbreaking

[granite pagoda]

Better up your drip game if you wanna join

[somber dome]

Yes! But i don't want to lose them like that. I wanted to marry Yi Dao and adopt Ruby as our child💀 I'm so upset. Now i bloodbath Aureate HQ everyday

[somber dome]

How much fashion point do we need to have? I do have a lot of outfits just not the most expensive ones

[low yoke]

Meanwhile Aureate Pavilion goons who are really just very patriotic heroes to South Tang like Tian Ying...

[reef tiger]

Im looking fwd to rebuilding blissful retreat in future updates; apparently u will get new visitors? Lowkey passed by some burned dead bodies i didnt notice in blissful retreat 😭

[somber dome]

they killed the entire Blissful Retreat

i'm turning every aureate outpost into a jail where theyre all trapped inside waiting for me to jump from the sky with that golden groundbreaking skill XD

[somber dome]

i built a refugee camp next to Blissful Retreat

with houses and boats

I love that u can build anywhere

[reef tiger]

Are npcs going to those? I havent built much yet

[somber dome]

No sadly :((

I can only pretend they go there when i'm not way hinted

they do deserve new homes

but Aureate people are absolutely trapped in my jails and cant walk past the wooden walls i placed

[reef tiger]

They will, u will rebuild blissful retreat 💪; just gotta wait for future updates, but im really tired of seeing how sad everyone looks when coming back to visit

[somber dome]

Omg yes

id love that

[somber dome]

yes, i very often go there to visit

and build new stuff

and talk to npcs

[young rose]

Soon, in future updates

[woven solar]

Please tell me that qianye survived that blast 🥹

[granite pagoda]

The hot mommy is still alive!

[woven solar]

Yay

[signal locust]

But Yi Dao didn't?!? Blud was slacking in his external qi

[woven solar]

Yi Dao died a good death

[round plover]

He was stabbed in the heart guy wasn’t surviving anyways

[woven solar]

Yeah 🙁

[signal locust]

Should have parried SMH

[round plover]

If only he used the powers he has as a boss battle

[woven solar]

I mean we were overwhelmed

Prob no qi, no vit at all

[signal locust]

And he had been fighting nonstop for like 3 days

[woven solar]

He shouldnt save us coz we can respawn duh

[young rose]

Stabbed near the heart bro

[signal locust]

.

[granite pagoda]

Wtf

[granite pagoda]

The translation is terrible though

[woven solar]

they called our waifu demoness 😭

[round plover]

They put the script in ai and called it a day

[gleaming night]

Isn't this my ss? XD

[granite pagoda]

Yeah, couldnt link your message cause discord kept deleting it for some reason so I just copied the images

[somber dome]

No hopefully she didn't

if she did then ill kill her again

bih killed my husband and sister

[woven solar]

then we are enemy

[tall tapir]

That stupid kid who reminds you of ruby when you're just roaming around the burnt ruins

🔪

[young rose]

Shi Yimo?

[spring remnant]

Qianye is hot wifu

[native vortex]

so tian ying is still alive and he has a new identity?

[somber dome]

what is his old identity 😭

[native vortex]

No as in.. after we "kill" him. He isnt dead

[somber dome]

ooh!!

[native vortex]

If you complete all the dark surge, they give you a cutscne

[somber dome]

just hope he doesn't come back to kill me

[native vortex]

Considering he intentionally faked his death when fighting us... Does that mean he was going easy on us the whole time?

[strong kindle]

bro how does this exposing scammer thing works

[quick dagger]

gift of gab?

[somber dome]

He's giving me PTSD (and i play on story difficulty with assisted deflection

[strong kindle]

yes

[quick dagger]

that's easy

[strong kindle]

how to go back to doudou?

i went back to village lol

[strong kindle]

nvm

[tall tapir]

No it was a boy he was like i don't want to be a leader anymore because ruby was their last leader and she died

[reef tiger]

Bro he also asked if u think she still alive and it got me 🥺 🥲

[reef tiger]

I think u will fight her again in moihst hill

[woven solar]

[granite pagoda]

I think it's another mommy boss

Not qianye

[reef tiger]

Definitely another mommy boss 😂

But i think it might b her 🤔 idk

Moihst hill sounds kinda lame, the OG chinese name sounds much better 😂

[granite pagoda]

She's new, got an robot arm or sthing

The fight was pretty cool from what I've seen

[reef tiger]

Gg it wont let me send the dam link

[granite pagoda]

Add some space

[reef tiger]

http: //xhslink.com/o/AmDHavPSngP

[granite pagoda]

Damn I need an account to watch?

Oh nvm I can watch now

[reef tiger]

I dont really know the context of video, but she prolly back in moihst hill

[granite pagoda]

Bro someone said her rack shrank is that true

[reef tiger]

Looks like she got smaller

[granite pagoda]

She definitely lost some weight

Man give me back the illusion realm qianye, she was hella stacked

[reef tiger]

Maybe we shouldnt advance the main story; she prolly followijg us and burning everything we touch 😂

[granite pagoda]

But I think this is just cut scene, or there's a mini boss fight where we lose anyway

For real though not just her rack, her whole body is smaller than before

This aint it devs

[reef tiger]

If anyone wants to cry with me about ruby, watch this fan generated video w disguise and AI voiceover: http: //xhslink.com/o/9Xd72eIPCT4

She walked so far 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[granite pagoda]

Every basement in WWM is always as big as a whole village or sthing lol

[rose gyro]

any thing important to do (ie NPCS to talk to) to get dark surge fragments before finishing chapter 1?

[still timber]

I think everything is available after it as well, I barely got anything unlocked before the point of no return happened and now unlocked the ending just fine

There is one character that guides usually tell you not possible to talk to to trigger the fragment after the fire, but I got the same fragment from another npc instead

[rose gyro]

that was i was worried about. i guess they made a fix addressing it recently

[young rose]

Nerfed momminess?

[rigid surge]

Having done the Man in the Well quest... ||who the hell was that runt that smashed our wine jar?||

||And why weren't we given a chance to beat the little sh** up||

[signal locust]

Naw hes chill

That was a sparring match for him to test you out of respect for Uncle Jiang

Basically he was holding back and going easy on you

[dark lance]

I just wanna know when we’ll see uncle Jiang again 😭

[rigid surge]

||I've done the Dark Surge secret ending for Tian Ying. Who does he become in history? Li ????||

[granite pagoda]

He took on the name li to honor the moon goddess li zhenzhen

[reef tiger]

We saw him in dreamscape briefly 😂

[young rose]

I thought he was Honoring Li ||Zuo|| jk

[woven solar]

I dont understand why some ppl said qianye disguise as aunt han when we meet her
