Where Winds Meet

Zhu Bawan: How to Befriend in AI Chat

Add to Watchlist

This is a guide on how to befriend Zhu Bawan in the AI Chat menu in Where Winds Meet. Learn how to befriend Zhu Bawan by listening to his four do-nots, as well as giving him the bowls, with a list of specific AI Chat prompts.

How to Befriend Zhu Bawan

Listen to Zhu Bawan's Four Do-Nots and Give the Bowls

You can befriend Shu Bawan by listening to him attentively about his four do-nots, and also roleplaying giving him the eight bowls. Note that you don't have to collect the bowls during this and just pretend you have them in order to befriend him.

Example of Successful Conversation

Zhu Bawan(rolling up sleeves) Wanderer, have you gathered all eight bowls? Without them, I cannot cook. And remember, I follow the Four Do-Nots. Would you like to hear my rules?
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistYes! I want to listen to you attentively
Zhu Bawan(nodding) First Do-Not: I never cook beef, out of kindness. Oxen work the fields all their lives, and in the end, you kill them? I cannot bear it.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistOkay, you never cook beef. Got it
Zhu Bawan(sighing) Second Do-Not: I never cook black fish, out of filial piety. After giving birth, the mother fish grows weak and blind. The baby fish swim into her mouth to feed her. Such devotion deserves respect.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistNot even black fish. Got it
Zhu Bawan(gesturing toward the sky) Third Do-Not: I never cook wild geese, out of fidelity. A wild goose mates for life. If one dies, the other remains alone forever. That loyalty moves me.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistNot wild geese. Got it
Zhu Bawan(shaking his head slowly) Fourth Do-Not: I never cook dog meat, out of loyalty. Dogs guard our homes faithfully, never abandoning their masters. How could I betray that trust?
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistDogs are loyal and they shouldn't be betrayed
Zhu Bawan(smiling) Indeed, Wanderer. These are my principles, and I stand by them firmly. Now, have you gathered all eight bowls?
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistHere they are *gives the bowls*
Zhu Bawan(smiling apologetically) I have many rules, Wanderer. Please forgive my stubbornness. Once you bring me all eight bowls, I'll show you the true art of Qinghe cuisine.

Zhu Bawan calls out to customers and resumes his bustling work. (Affection +100, becomes Revered)

Note that AI conversations can be unpredictable and even with the same inputs, the same result is not necessarily guaranteed.

How to Succeed in AI Chat

Reset Dialogue When Stuck

If your conversation has gone off the rails, or doesn't end no matter what you say, it's best to simply reset and start anew from a clean slate by clicking the button with a Refresh icon at the top of the chat box. Instead of trying several methods within one conversation, trying one strategy at a time and refreshing if it doesn't go anywhere is generally more effective.

Return to Login Screen if Combat Begins

Sometimes, NPCs will suddenly become violent during AI dialogues. When this happens, it's best to just bail out to the login screen; when you return, the NPC will be found just as they were before the conversation started.

If you accidentally kill a dialogue-capable NPC, our experience has shown that they will respawn, but this has not been heavily tested, so it's best to simply avoid engaging them in combat.

Double-Check the Hint

Even if the NPC appears to be happy with the result of your discussion, this won't always end the dialogue. Double-checking the text written in the hint will imply the win condition, so try strategies which will lead the dialogue towards that result.
