2	Activate the Frost-Clad Path Shrine.
3	Continue following the path up the mountain killing any enemies on the way.
4	Prepare yourself to fight the Macaque Chief before heading into the open area.
*	Rest back at the Shrine if you need it since the next one you unlock is at the end of Snowhill Path.
5	Continue up the mountain until you reach the temple area.
6	Immediately head left and up the stairs. Also, dodge as soon as you get to the top of the stairs since there will be an enemy waiting to ambush you.
*	Explore the area for any treasure chests and items you can find.
7	Continue down and right towards the tree in the middle of an island. Don't go to the tree until you're ready to proceed to the next area.

1	After the cutscene ends, activate the Mirrormere Shrine.
*	Explore the area for a Meditation Spot, treasure chests, and any other items you can find.

Pagoda Realm Walkthrough

	Pagoda Realm Objectives
1	Lower Pagoda
2	Upper Pagoda
3	Mani Wheel
4	Outside the Wheel
5	Snow-Veiled Trail
6	The Great Pagoda
7	Warding Temple

This area has a gimmick with Lantern Wardens where they will cut your Max HP in half. Whenever your screen turns distorted, wait out the effect so you can heal yourself back to full.

Waiting out the effect is the preferred option, but defeating Lantern Wardens grants you a lot of EXP and Will. Defeating all of them will also give you the Auspicious Lantern Curio!

Lower Pagoda Guide

	Objectives
1	After the cutscene ends, you will be put in a new area. Follow the path outside your cell until you reach the Lower Pagoda Shrine.
*	Ignore any cells with a purple seal for now since you'll need to defeat a boss to unlock them.
2	Continue following the path until you see a staircase on the left that will lead you to the second floor.
3	Head up and turn right once you're on the second floor. Follow the path across the wooden beam and head inside.
4	Continue following the path until you come across a ramp on the right that will lead you up to the third floor.
5	At the top, continue following the path forward until you come across the Upper Pagoda Shrine. Make sure to activate it, otherwise, you'll need to go all the way back up here if you die.
*	Turn around and drop down to the purple area to fight Captain-Lotus Vision. Defeating this boss will unlock all the purple-sealed cells in the area. ▶ Captain Lotus-Vision Boss Guide
**	Re-explore the first and second floors for any newly unsealed cells. There will be a bunch of items and treasures, as well as the Third Prince Quest and the Ashen Slumber Transformation. Make sure that you grab the Ashen Slumber Transformation since it can be missed! If the body with the sword doesn't spawn, then you'll need to kill the two-headed rat guai back in the Sandgate Village and exhaust all dialogue options at a nearby hut.

Upper Pagoda Guide

	Objectives
1	From this Shrine, continue forward until you're past the wooden beams and you reach an entrance with a lantern.
2	Go through the entrance and head up the ramp leading to the fourth floor.
3	At the top, head out left and follow the path until you reach the broken structure that leads you to the top of the prison.
4	Once you're at the top, follow the path on the left until you reach the Mani Wheel Shrine.

Mani Wheel Guide

	Objectives
1	Rest and prepare yourself to fight Captain Wise-Voice. Defeating this boss will prevent any Lantern Wardens from spawning, so make sure to take on this boss only after you've defeated all 9 of them. ▶ Captain Wise-Voice Boss Guide
2	After the boss has been defeated, head out to the other side and activate the Outside the Wheel Shrine inside the cave.

Outside the Wheel Guide

	Objectives
1	Head forward through the cave picking up any items along the way. Make sure to get the Luojia Fragrant Vine for your Gourd upgrades.
2	Continue forward outside the cave and pick up any items and treasure chests you find.
3	The path forward is extremely linear, so keep following the path until you reach the Snow-Veiled Trail Shrine.

Snow-Veiled Trail Guide

	Objectives
1	Head up the stairs to the left and follow the path filled with the Frozen Corpses.
*	Following the path to the right will lead you to The Great Pagoda, but you can't do anything there yet. It's still a good idea to visit the area though just to unlock the Shrine.
2	Once you reach the small creek to the right, head left up the stairs until you reach the Warding Temple Shrine.

The Great Pagoda Guide

Unless you've beaten the game, there is nothing to do here besides unlocking the Shrine.

Later on, once you've completed the game and unlocked all 6 murals by completing every chapter, an NPC will show up at the middle wall to lead you to the Secret Area, Mount Mei.

The Great Pagoda Walkthrough

Warding Temple Guide

	Objectives
1	Continue up the stairs and into the temple, where you will need to fight the Macaque Chief for the second time.
*	Head back to the Shrine and rest since there will be another boss fight after leaving this area.
2	After beating the boss and unlocking the Ring of Fire spell, head to the left and out through the back exit.
3	Head up the slope and then slide down into the next area.

Bitter Lake Walkthrough

	Bitter Lake Objectives
1	North Shore of the Bitter Lake
2	Turtle Island
3	South Shore of the Bitter Lake
4	Precept Corridor

North Shore of the Bitter Lake Guide

This is the area you slide down towards before boarding Turtle Island. As of now, it looks like there's nothing to do here besides unlocking the Shrine. If you want to get here, you'll just need to take the same path mentioned in the Warding Temple Guide.

Turtle Island Guide

	Objectives
*	Die to Kang-Jin Star first to respawn and activate the Turtle Island Shrine.
1	Once you're ready, head up towards the cymbals and defeat Kang-Jin Star. Bring ways to counter Electric since she'll use the same element as her Loong form. ▶ Kang-Jin Star Boss Guide
*	Rest at the Shrine and head directly to the right to defeat Cyan Loong. He can be found at the edge of the turtle's back fishing by himself. ▶ Cyan Loong Boss Guide
2	Head forward from the Shrine to the Turtle General's head. You can explore the area first if you wish, but you can teleport back here later.
3	When you're ready to leave, talk to the Pig to leave the area and push the story forward. After you've dismounted the turtle, activate the nearby shrine.

South Shore of the Bitter Lake Guide

	Objectives
*	Head to the left and defeat Chen Loong in the shallow water to start the Zodiac Village Quest. ▶ Chen Loong Boss Guide
**	Continue following the left path to find a Treasure Hunter being attacked by enemies. Saving and talking to him will initiate the Treasure Hunter Quest.
***	Go back to the shrine and take the right path filled with bones. At the end path, you'll face the Apramana Bat, and after he's been beaten, interacting with the skeleton will drop the Turtle Tear under the Turtle General's head. Make sure to beat this optional boss before proceeding forward since it's a missable and disappears if you proceed too far into the story. ▶ Apramana Bat Boss Guide
1	From the Shrine, follow the frozen corpses to the right and into a cave. Follow the path upwards until you reach a rope bridge.
*	Before the bridge, go through the opening on the left to grab a treasure chest.
2	Head across the bridge and unlock the Precept Corridor Shrine.

Precept Corridor Guide

	Objectives
1	Follow the path forward, picking up the Meditation Spot and treasure chest on the way.
2	Once you reach the cave, head left and follow the stairs upwards until you fight the Red-Haired Yaksha.
3	After beating the Yaoguai and absorbing its Spirit, head out and go down into the pagoda to start a cutscene.
4	After the cutscene, head left and interact with the first Buddha statue.
5	Continue going left and down the stairs until you reach the second Buddha statue on the right.
6	Turn around and follow the path past the stairs until you reach the third Buddha statue.
7	Go through the gate and continue until you see the final Buddha statue with a Red-Haired Yaksha on the right.
8	Turn around and drop down back to the pagoda for another cutscene.
9	After the cutscene, head right and follow the stairs all the way up towards the big statues.
10	Keep going forward past the first two big statues until you reach the third one.
11	Head up the stairs and go in through the small gap at the top.
12	Follow the path upwards until you reach the Mindfulness Cliff Shrine.

Valley of Ecstasy Walkthrough

	Valley of Ecstasy Objectives
1	Mindfulness Cliff
2	Forest of Felicity
3	Melon Field
4	Brook of Bliss
5	Towers of Karma
6	Longevity Road

Mindfulness Cliff Guide

	Objectives
1	Once you're ready, follow the path into the open area where you'll have to fight Non-White for the first time. ▶ Non-White Boss Guide
*	Head back to the Shrine and rest up before proceeding forward.
**	You can drop down to the collapsed pillar by following the path downwards past the tree in the Non-White boss arena. Following this path will lead you to the Fiery Gourd and the Skandha of Thought.
2	Continue upwards past the cave entrance and head forward until you fight Non-White for the final time.
3	After the fight, activate the Meditation Spot and proceed down the snowy slope and to the Forest of Felicity Shrine.

Forest of Felicity Guide

	Objectives
1	Follow the very long path forward through the small archway until you reach the Longevity Road Shrine. Just follow the obvious path laid out before you and you'll get there eventually. Before proceeding forward, talk to the corpse laying on the archway to initiate the Fox Quest.
*	You can choose to explore the Valley of Ecstasy since this is a large section with many optional areas, bosses, and quests. Make sure to activate any Shrine you come across so that you have locations to teleport to.

Melon Field Guide

	Objectives
1	From the Forest of Felicity Shrine, turn around and take the path to the left that goes down. Keep going down until you reach the river at the bottom.
*	You can cross the bridges that lead to the right at any time so you can activate the Brook of Bliss Shrine.
2	Once you've reached the bottom, head towards the right side of the cliff in the distance. When you see two lit braziers, go between them and drop down slowly following the braziers until you reach the Melon Field Shrine.

This is an optional area that's part of the Treasure Hunter Quest. Unless you've encountered and talked to the Treasure Hunter at all of the locations he appears in, you won't be able to do anything when you get here.

Brook of Bliss Guide

	Objectives
1	To get to this area, turn around from the Forest of Felicity Shrine and head down to the path on the left.
2	Once you're down, take any of the bridges to the right side of the area so you can access the Brook of Bliss Shrine.

This is an optional area that's not necessary to complete the main story. However, there are items, collectables, and the Non-Able boss around this area, so it is still worth visiting.

Towers of Karma Guide

	Objectives
1	To get to this area, you'll want to head through the archway in front of the Forest of Felicity Shrine, and then head left.
2	From there turn right and follow the path forward until you reach the Towers of Karma Shrine.

This is another optional area that's not necessary to complete the main story. Again, there are items and collectables around this area that make it worth visiting, especially if you're completing the Treasure Hunter quest.

Longevity Road Guide

	Objectives
*	Before proceeding forwards, head to the right to collect the Soul of Captain Void-Illusion. Unlike the other Captains, there's no boss and the soul must be collected from their corpse.
1	From the Shrine, head forward to the open area and go right towards the New Thunderclap Temple.
2	When you're ready, continue following the path up to the entrance of the temple and defeat Captain Kalpa-Wave. ▶ Captain Kalpa-Wave Boss Guide
3	Once the boss is defeated, head through the entrance and activate the Temple Entrance Shrine.
*	If you collected the Soul of Captain Void-Illusion earlier, teleport back to the Lower Pagoda and talk to the Third Prisoner to get a new weapon!

New Thunderclap Temple Walkthrough

	Sandgate Village Objectives
1	Temple Entrance
2	Mahavira Hall
2	Floating Sculpture

Temple Entrance Guide

	Objectives
*	Before proceeding onwards straight to the end of the temple, you can explore the different side areas. There are a bunch of optional objectives around here, like treasure chests and bosses. If you don't want to miss anything, we recommended exploring first since there are some objectives here, specifically the ones for the Horse Guai Quest and the Fox Quest, that become missable.
1	To get to the next Shrine, just keep heading north towards the large pagoda. From the Temple Entrance Shrine, just head on straight through the building in front of you and up the dual staircase.
2	Once you're up the stairs, continue straight through the nearby building. Continue going straight on forward until you reach the large open area with a big set of stairs and two massive Dark-faced Overlords.
3	Once you've either defeated or ran past them, climb up the stairs and activate the Mahavira Hall shrine.

Mahavira Hall Guide

	Objectives
*	Prepare yourself since this is the final Shrine before you head to the final boss of this chapter. If you want to explore the rest of Chapter 3 and check that you didn't forget any missables, now is the time to do so. It's recommended to at least do the Treasure Hunter Quest since it will reward you with a spell that will greatly help with the final boss.
1	When you're ready, head through the doors to face the final boss of this chapter, Yellowbrow. ▶ Yellowbrow Boss Guide
2	After beating his first phase, you will be sucked into his pouch where you'll fight a power-up version of the Macaque Chief. Thankfully, you'll be fully recovered so the only thing you'll need to worry about are your cooldowns.
3	Once the Macaque Chief goes down for the final time, you'll be teleported to the Floating Sculpture that was behind Yellowbrow earlier.
4	Follow the path until you reach the second and final Yellowbrow fight. Once he goes down, you'll have beaten Chapter 3! You can opt to die first to change your equipment and spells if you wish, especially if you don't have the spell from the Treasure Hunter Quest equipped.

Floating Scuplture Guide

The Floating Sculpture Upper and Lower Level travel locations aren't Shrines but are teleport points that act as a failsafe in case you die during the Yellowbrow boss gauntlet.

This allows you to teleport back to those checkpoints in case you leave using the Incense Trail Talisman to change your equipment and spells at a Shrine.

Mount Mei Walkthrough

3	Once you reach the top of the stairs, a cutscene will start with Erlang Shen.

Defeat Erlang

	Objectives
1	After the cutscene, you must first defeat Erlang, the Sacred Divinity. This is one of, if not, the toughest fight in the game, so be prepared for a gruelling battle. ▶ Erlang Boss Guide
2	After reducing Erlang's HP to 0, a cutscene will ensue where you will both transform into beasts larger than the mountains around you.
3	Once you're transformed, you'll be thrust into a new form to battle The Four Heavenly Kings. Take this time to learn your new moves and remember to heal using Heavy Attacks if you get low on HP. ▶ The Four Heavenly Kings Boss Guide
4	Finally, once all four of them go down, you'll have to face Erlang in his gigantic transformed form. Once he goes down, you'll unlock a new Transformation, Weapon, and the ability to view the secret ending after beating the final boss one more time!

Macaque Chief	Yin Tiger
Chen Loong	Green-Capped Martialist

How to Beat Captian Lotus-Vision

This boss fight revolves around dodging every projectile Captain Lotus-Vision throws at you and countering with an attack afterward.

Captain Lotus-Vision lacks melee skills and relies solely on magic attacks, which are all easily dodged.

How to Beat Captain Lotus-Vision

How to Beat Apramana Bat

The Apramana Bat is a mobile boss that will keep flying away and do ranged attacks against you. It is best to keep the boss on the ground, close to you as much as possible, with spells.

How to Beat Apramana Bat

How to Beat Lang-Li-Guhh-Lang

Lang-Li-Guhh-Lang utilizes ice attacks, so focus on interrupting its attacks by immobilizing it and counter with combos and powerful finishers.

How to Beat Lang-Li-Guhh-Lang

How to Beat Old Ginseng Guai

Old Ginseng Guai summons smaller ginseng guais. Focus on eliminating these smaller enemies first to avoid distractions and interruptions while focusing on the main boss.

How to Beat Old Ginseng Guai

How to Beat Non-White

Non-White wields a long blade with significant reach. To counter this, equip the thrust stance and use your own long-range attacks.

In the second battle, Non-White will have new attacks, including an Ice Combo Finisher that launches ice spikes from the ground. It can also inflict poison with some of its attacks, so prepare accordingly.

How to Beat Non-White

How to Beat Non-Pure

Non-Pure’s attacks are all heavy, including his jumping strikes. After each attack, he pauses for a significant time before attacking again.

Although his heavy attacks deal substantial damage, the cooldown period is your opportunity to strike.

How to Beat Non-Pure

How to Beat Non-Able

It's crucial to conserve your mana during the first phase, using none or only minimal spells. Non-Able becomes even stronger in his second phase, and you'll need all the mana you can muster to survive.

In his second form, free from chains, Non-Able gains additional attacks. He can now use his hands to strike, and his movements are much swifter.

How to Beat Non-Able

How to Beat Non-Void

Non-Void primarily attacks with magic, only resorting to physical strikes when you're close. The key to this battle is dodging his spells and finding the right moment to counterattack.

If you prefer close combat, be prepared to dodge his swift strikes, as he’s fast and can use Cloud Step to escape your combos.

How to Beat Non-Void

How to Beat Monk from the Sea

The Monk from the Sea's attacks apply Chill and can freeze you. Dodge its attacks as much as possible to avoid getting frozen.

How to Beat Monk From The Sea

How to Beat Macaque Chief

The Macaque Chief is a boss that you would have to fight multiple times throughout the chapter. While its moveset starts off simple, be prepared for more challenging move enhancements in later encounters.

How to Beat Macaque Chief

How to Beat Yin Tiger

One strategy you can use to defeat the Yin Tiger is to use Spellseal at the start or before using any other spells since the attack boost is proportional to how much mana you have.

Although it will prevent you from using other spells, having the increased damage will help a lot in depleting the Yin Tiger's HP.

How to Beat Yin Tiger

How to Beat Chen Loong

Chen Loong has a complex move set that can be challenging to counter. However, this boss is relatively fragile, so don't hesitate to use your spells frequently to overpower and stagger him.

How to Beat Chen Loong and Location

How to Beat Green-Capped Martialist

The Green-Capped Martialist is a very agile boss that turns invisible at one point in the fight. Use the Fireproof Mantle, parry his attacks, and Immobilize him to counter and deal as much damage as possible to win the fight easily.

How to Beat Kang-Jin Loong
