For Whom Does He Return Walkthrough
Quest Objectives
- Meet Yi Dao at the Ruined Temple
- Fight Enemies and Check Vantage Points
- Rescue All Trapped People
- Help Yi Dao Break the Siege
- Withstand the Siege
- Make Your Last Stand
- Defeat Qianye
- Take the Homeward Path
1. Meet Yi Dao at the Ruined Temple
Have a chat with Yi Dao by the outer wall of the ruined temple at Kilnfire Ridge. He is seated by a campfire. You can teleport outside the temple via the Emperor Chai Temple Boundary Stone.
After a cutscene, jump down the cliff to join Yi Dao back to Blissful Retreat. The horse will travel on its own, so you do not have to dodge the explosions yourself.
2. Fight Enemies and Check Vantage Points
After being separated from Yi Dao, fight the enemies on the path before talking to Du Qiaoxian. Defeat more enemies, then follow Yuan Jin'gang to higher ground. There, inspect the vantage points. Check the small audio icons lining the scope to locate the four points.
3. Rescue All Trapped People
In the burning village, defeat the enemies before rescuing the trapped people: Song Jiu, Beard Guang, and Dingsi. Rescue Ruby next in front of the burning house after defeating the next wave of enemies.
There is an Aureate Commander, a strong enemy type, at the center of the village. It is recommended to take out the weaker swordsmen first before facing it head-on.
4. Help Yi Dao Break the Siege
Go to the Sweetwine Tower with Ruby. Just in front of the tower, fight alongside Yi Dao to break the siege. When the wave is over, rejoin with the villagers at the tower and open the tower doors. Talk to the Elder and Yi Dao.
5. Withstand the Siege
Withstand the siege together with Yi Dao. The enemies in this wave are tough, so make sure you are at least Lv. 25 or higher to fight them more effectively. Also, be careful fighting the two Aureate Commanders that can overwhelm you with their flaming spear attacks.
If you are defeated, you have to fight all enemies again to complete the objective.
6. Make Your Last Stand
Face the last wave of enemies with Yi Dao. Like in the last wave, be careful fighting the Aureate Commanders. Take out the swordsmen and the archers, as their fire arrows can be a nuisance throughout the fight.
Being hit by the enemies' fire attacks inflicts the burning status effect, which depletes bits of your HP for a short period of time.
7. Defeat Qianye
Defeat the boss Qianye. Qianye is a powerful two-phase boss with large sweeping attacks, so evade them while focusing on your offensive. Parrying and dodging are crucial to the fight, making it important to nail down both mechanics to defeat Qianye.
Progressing to this point of the Main Quest will unlock the campaign Blissful Retreat.
Skip Boss Fight If Too Challenging
If the boss is too challenging at the moment, there is an option to skip the fight after being defeated the first time. On the Defeated screen, choose the option to skip. You will still receive your quest rewards after skipping, and you can progress the main story without consequences.
8. Take the Homeward Path
After defeating Qianye, you will find yourself in control of Ruby's horse, Clip-Clop. Follow the objective marker to the tree where Ruby was struck by Qianye's arrow. A cutscene will play, ending the quest and beginning your journey to Kaifeng.
