Where Winds Meet

How to Get Exquisite Scenery Inner Way

Add to Watchlist

Exquisite Scenery is an Inner Way in Where Winds Meet. See how to get the Exquisite Scenery Inner Way, along with its effects and breakthrough tier bonuses.

How to Get Exquisite Scenery Inner Way

Defeat Puppeteer - Sheng Wu

# Clue
1 In Qinghe, there's a pair of traveling puppetry performers said to have created Exquisite Scenery.
2

It is said that someone has heard the singing of Ji Nan puppetry in the Northern Vow Ruins of Verdant Wilds, and there are rumors that the puppetry performers set up a puppetry stage at The Floral Expanse Beyond in Sundara Land, but it is not clear whether it is true or not.
3

Defeating Sheng Wu will grant the Exquisite Sorcery Inner Way. Go to Battlecrest Slope and stand near the hooded enemy with a Mo Blade. This triggers the cutscene for the Sheng Wu fight.

Reach the small island to the north of the Northen Vow Ruins boundary stone and stand near the wandering monk in the area to start the fight with Sheng Wu. Defeating Sheng Wu will immediately reward the Exquisite Scenery Inner Way.

Internal Art Effect
Successfully defending with Thundercry Blade activates its special counterattack. Press Perception Skill or Heavy Attack to unleash a first stage Charged Heavy Attack without charging. This effect can only trigger once every 10 seconds. Hitting a target with a Varied Combo restores 1 bar of Battle Will (no more than 1 bar restored per cast).

Exquisite Scenery is a Legendary Internal Art that strongly synergizes with the Stonesplit - Might path of Martial Arts, further enhancing the mechanics of that playstyle.

6 When casting the third stage of Thundercry Blade's Charged Heavy Attack and its Varied Combos, if there is enough Battle Will, you can consume 1 bar of Battle Will to increase damage by 25% (up to 50% increase with 2 bars of Battle Will consumed).

Upgrading Internal Arts increases their tier, allowing them to grant additional bonuses. These range from general stat improvements to enhancements of the passive effects provided by the Internal Art.
