Mother of Stones Strategy
Mother of Stones Won't Attack You Don't Let the Enemies Pile Up

Mother of Stones Won't Attack You

The Mother of Stones doesn't attack directly. It’s just a large, immobile entity with a health bar.

Instead, it continuously summons Lesser Yaoguais to fight on its behalf.

Don't Let the Enemies Pile Up

These Lesser Yaoguais are easy to defeat individually, but if you ignore them, they’ll accumulate and relentlessly attack you.

While it might seem quicker to focus on the Mother of Stones, it's wise to eliminate the minions first. If too many of them gather, they can overwhelm and potentially kill you.

Use the A Pluck of Many Spell to Distract the Enemies

If you possess the A Pluck of Many spell, it can help you attack everybody all at once.

Mother of Stones

Long ago in Yellow Wind Ridge, two mountain deities gained immense power by consuming a great yaoguai’s inner pill. This transformation gave them human forms and hearts, and in gratitude, they used their new strength to make the mountain flourish.

They are known as Mother of Stones and Father of Stones.

Father of Stones

One day, a wounded and tattered-clothed girl stumbled into Yellow Wind Ridge, seeking refuge in a rock guai’s cave. The Father of Stones initially intended to expel her, but seeing her pitiable state, he allowed her to rest.

The girl prepared a delicious meal that softened the Father of Stones' heart, leading him to permit her to stay. For two years, they lived in harmony, with the stone deity providing ingredients and the girl cooking.

Son of Stones

Before the Son of Stones could succeed as a mountain deity, his mother, Mother of Stones, unable to leave Yellow Wind Ridge, sent him alone to search for his father. But unfortunately, he went east instead of west and ended up at Mount Huaguo.

Initially, Son of Stones searched each mountain for his father, but Mount Huaguo's many delights distracted him. He became particularly fond of a cricket named Feng-Tail General, spending his days watching it leap and forgetting his mission entirely.
