- Find Aunt Han
- Uncover Still Shore's Secrets
- Leave Still Shore
- Inspect Aunt Han's Room

1. Find Uncle Zhao at Heaven's Pier
| 1.1 |  Leave the General's Shrine and go find Uncle Zhou at Heaven's Pier. On the way, you can complete a Meow Meow puzzle and talk to Yan Qiren to start the Meridian Touch side quest. |
|---|---|
| 1.2 |  Along a pier, talk to the Wayfarer to unlock Moonveil Mountain on your world map, as well as Jianghu Legacies in the subregion. If you cross the river, you can find two chests. Follow the pier until you reach the Heaven's Pier Boundary Stone, and open the chest beside it. Taking a few steps toward Heaven's Pier, the Exploration Quest Foul Play will trigger. |
| 1.3 |  Continue ahead to find Uncle Zhao. Near the men shoveling the hay, open a chest there. After talking to Uncle Zhao, summon your horse and go to Blissful Retreat. On the way there, you will see the side quests To Heal or Not to Heal and Culinary: Hotpot Fever |
2. Talk to Aunt Han at Blissful Retreat
At Blissful Retreat, find its Boundary Stone before heading over to Aunt Han at the inn. After talking to Aunt Han, serve and converse with Liu Sanye and Skinny Lu at their tables. Next, go to the private chamber outside to meet Qianye.
3. Investigate the Porcelain Kiln
Summon your horse again and travel to the Porcelain Kiln, then talk to Song Jiu. Approach the underground warehouse to inspect the sword stuck to the ground. Drop down into the warehouse and crouch below an obstruction to find Bony lying on the ground.
Suddenly, you will find yourself in a battle with the Jianghu Wanderer. However, you will not actually fight him as the battle will end early. Talk to him after the battle.
4. Escape into the Ghost Temple
After running away from Yi Dao, run through the mist to the Ghost Temple. Open the secret passage and drop down. Turn around behind you to open the chest there. Ahead, below a bridge, jump down and beat the wolf to open another chest.
Climb back up on the ladder and run straight until you reach a crevice in the wall. Slip through and head back to Blissful Retreat.
5. Find Aunt Han
Return to the inn and talk to Doudou about Aunt Han's whereabouts. After talking to him, go to Evercare Clinic and talk to Yaoyao after upgrading your Medicine Chest.
Head to the second floor of the clinic and inspect the Set of Daggers and the Gold-inlaid Ledger on the table. Then, examine the balcony to see a covered well behind the clinic. Before jumping down, open all of the chests in the room.
6. Uncover Still Shore's Secrets
Take the quiver of Fire Arrows in front of the well, then shoot the branches to burn them away. Hop down into the well and trigger the Boundary Stone for Still Shore's Start.
This segment is a pre-requisite Campaign Quest needed to unlock the next objective in the main story.
7. Leave Still Shore
| 7.1 |  After defeating Heartseeker, return the flute to Cheng Xin before opening the gate behind him. |
|---|---|
| 7.2 |  Pass through a narrow passage by a waterfall, leading to a room. Pick up the letter on the table. If you jump outside the window and go to the right, you can find a chest in a passage. |
| 7.3 |  Go back inside and follow the objective upstairs past another door, then talk to Doudou inside. Leave the passage by taking the ladder and slipping through the gap in the wall, leading you back to the surface. |
Alternate Route Back to Blissful Retreat
| 1 |  In the cavern with the waterfall, you can jump down the cliffside, causing you to teleport to a hidden passage. Exit the passage and jump down a smaller waterfall to get the Source of Still Shore Boundary Stone on the water. Note: You can access this area again during the Dust in the Rhombus Mirror main quest. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Open the doors to a monastery. Go straight ahead and look at the left side to see a large golden chest. An enemy will jump out of it once opened. Defeat it to get the chest's rewards. |
| 3 |  Go to the very end of the monastery and open the gate there. Run through the corridor and take the elevator at the end. This route will take you to a passage in Blissful Retreat, which you will return to later with Yi Dao. |
| 4 |  Teleport back to Still Shore to continue the main story. You will return to the chamber with Cheng Xin. |
8. Inspect Aunt Han's Room
Go to Aunt Han's room and inspect the chest and the drawers. A cutscene where you are ambushed will occur shortly after. Defend yourself with the wooden board to deflect the arrows before fighting the assailants with Yi Dao.
If you have not yet reached Solo Mode Lv. 2: Emerging and Lv. 17, you will not be able to start this objective until you meet the requirements.
9. Explore the Hidden Passage
| 9.1 |  Pursue the swordsman without being detected. You have 15 seconds to catch up to him if you stray too far. If the timer runs out or you are spotted, you have to redo the objective. Follow him into a passage, then push the wall at the end to find an entrance. |
|---|---|
| 9.2 |  Upon entering the hidden passage, a gate will drop and separate you from Yi Dao. Continue slightly further ahead and turn right. Use your Wind Sense to detect the safe areas to step on to avoid being burned by the fire traps. |
| 9.3 |  Inspect the door past the fire traps. To the left of the door is a mechanism with a stone statue on a slab. Carry the statue all the way back to Yi Dao and set it down on the slab there. Stand on the opposite slab to lift the gate and let Yi Dao through. |
| 9.4 |  Follow Yi Dao past the door. In this area, you have to eliminate two Aureate Pavilion Guards to get rid of the toxic smoke, causing a build up of Sleeping Puppet's Enhancement Toxin. Eliminating one of the guards in the chamber immediately causes the build up to drop. |
| 9.5 |  Follow Yi Dao to the exit. Climb up the ladder and open the doors to find yourself back at the surface. |
| 9.6 |  After a cutscene, drop down from the cliffside and approach the ruined temple to free Ruby and Beard Guang. Defeat the Aureate Swordsman inside before untying them both. |
10. Go to the Main Hall and Defeat Dalang
Go to the main hall ahead. Because the door is blocked, climb the roof and drop into the hole. A cutscene will trigger, after which you have to beat the boss Dalang.

Heartseeker is a boss fought during the Still Shore Quest. Around the edges of the arena, there will be Tombstones that you can hide behind to block Heartseeker's projectiles and survive her one-shot mechanic once she enters the 2nd phase.
Take note that these tombstones will be destroyed once she enters her 2nd phase so try to keep your distance and avoid staying in the middle of the arena.

Dalang is a boss fought during the A Horse Neighs in the Forest Quest. Focus on damaging Dalang and ignore the Owner since he will be useful throughout the fight to inflict Poison on the Boss itself. We recommend keeping Dalang between you and the Owner as much as possible to make it take the Poison Dart that the Owner occasionally shoots out.
Once you reach the 2nd phase, this will turn into a 1v1 where you will have to learn Dalang's timings to deflect its attacks. Do note that Dalang has a move where it jumps multiple times so we recommend learning the parry timing for this attack to easily whittle down it's Qi bar.
