Make Your Way to the Third Floor of Baojin Tower
Head up to the third floor of Baojin Tower and wait until either Shen or You hour to start a cutscene.
After the cutscene, speak with Murong Yuan and she'll ask you to deliver invitations to her guests for an upcoming banquet.
Give Invites to the Guests
You'll need to give invites to the envoy from Shu, envoy from Tang, and Shi Shouxin, Black Armor General who are all located at Jadewood Court.
Once all guests are invited, a cutscene will play at the Baojin Tower. Keep drinking your wine to progress through the envoy's dialogue.
Speak to Murong Yuan After the Banquet
After the banquet, speak to Murong Yuan and Zhao Guangyi in the central part of the floor for a cutscene where Murong Yuan takes you to Jinming Pool.
Once at Jinming Pool, head up to stairs to observe the envoy from Shu with Murong Yuan.
Observe the Locations in Jinming Pool
| Observation Points | |
|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
You'll need to observe five points around Jinming Pool with Murong Yuan to get inside the Quintadent Warship.
Swim to the Underwater Outlet
Jump down into the water and dive to avoid getting spotted by the soldiers, then swim towards the outlet just underneath where the Shu envoy is located.
After the cutscene, swim outside and head up the nearby buildings to start following the Shu Envoy.
Follow the Shu Envoy from the Rooftops
There are jump points that you can hop across on the rooftops using the Cloud Steps mystic skill, so make sure you equip it so you can easily follow the envoy.
The envoy will periodically stop to chat with his bodyguard, so keep following him across the rooftops until you reach a spot that overlooks the waters.
Cloud Steps Mystic Skill Effect and How to Unlock
Jump on the Boat Masts
Once the Shu Envoy reaches the docks, quickly jump towards the boat masts using Cloud Steps to keep following him.
Alternatively, you can jump down the water keep following him from below. A cutscene will eventually play once he reaches the end of the route.
Board the Ship Within the Time Limit
Once the cutscene ends, you have five minutes to complete three objectives to successfully board the Quintadent Warship.
Note: You don't need to sneak around anymore in this part of the quest.
Knock Out the Shu Envoy
Quickly drop down the masts and sneak towards the Shu Envoy. Once close enough, perform the Touch of Death to knock him out.
Once the envoy is knocked out, quickly use Cloud Steps to jump across the boats to reach the next dock area.
Defeat the Guard Captain
Make your way to the large area at the docks and defeat Commander Hao, the guard captain. This elite enemy is supported by some ranged enemies, but you can ignore them since they will cower once you defeat Commander Hao.
Use the Tally to Board the Warship
Once the Guard Captain is defeated, make your way to the next area where the tally is to board the ship. Once across, head to the door to get inside the Warship.
Note: The platform that will take you to the Warship is currently bugged where standing in the middle will cause you to fall down the water.
We recommend you stand close to the edge of the platform and walk foward as the platform moves to avoid falling. There is also a lever to the right of the tally to bring back the platform if you fall down the water.
Go to the Command Room
There are a few enemy soldiers inside the warship, but you can sneak attack the patrolling ones. Go through the Living Cabin until you reach a large elevator with a lever that you can pull to go up to the Command Room.
Solve the Painting Puzzle
Once at the command room, interact with the gold goblet for a short cutscene with General Murong Yanzhao. Once the cutscene ends, interact with the painting with the wheelchair-bound figure where you can ask the General questions relating to the paintings.
Pay attention to the names that he'll say when asking about the paintings as these correspond to the statues that you need to place in front of the paintings later.
| All Statue Locations | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Zhao Statue | Shi Statue | Li Jun Statue | Murong Statue |
Zhao Statue Location
The Zhao Statue is located on the spot in front of the fourth painting. Simply pick it up and place it on the first painting with the Yellow-Robed Emperor to activate that painting.
Shi Statue Location
The Shie Statue is located in a small alcove to the left side of the room. Place it on the second painting with the figure holding a sword to activate it.
Li Jun Statue Location
The Li Jun Statue is located on the left side of the room next to a lion statue. Pick it up and place it on the third painting with the burning gravestone where the Zhao Statue was originally placed.
Murong Statue Location
| 1 |  To find the Murong Statue, go behind the paintings to find a back room. In the right room is a bell and a golden door knocker. Shoot the bell for it to resonate with the door knocker, then use Meridian Touch on the knocker to unlock the door. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Climb up the small room to find Murong's Statue, then go back to the paintings. |
| 3 |  Place Murong's statue in front of the fourth and rightmost painting. |
Look for the Quintadent Warship Diagram
| Points of Interest | |
|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
 |
Head to the secret chamber to find the Quintadent Warship Diagram. Investigate the four points of interests in the chamber to possibly locate the diagram.
After investigating all four points, open the floor panel and hop down to access the bottom of the warship.
Head to the Bottom of the Warship
| 1 |  Hop down another floor panel into the bottom layer of the warship. Watch out for the enemy on your right. After beating him, head to the room with lanterns and open the panel to drop down. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Get past or engage with the Imperial Soldiers. In the last room, descend through another panel. |
| 3 |  Open the chest by the cannon before heading through a corridor. Watch out for the soldier by the entryway. Take the left room and fight the elite enemy inside. Then, remove the bar from the door. Before you can enter, the floor will open, dropping you into a flooded cabin. |
Navigate the Water Weight Cabin
| 1 |  After falling down the trap door, pull the lever on the central platform to raise the water level. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  With the water raised, head into the lower right cabin with a ladder. Instead of heading up, shoot the bell in the middle of the hallway and use Meridian Touch to destroy the lock on the gate. Head inside the gate and pull the next lever. |
| 3 |  Swim to the oppposite cabin and shoot the bell in the middle of the hallway. Quickly climb the ladder and use Medidian Touch to destroy the lock on the gate, then pull the next lever. |
| 4 |  Head into the newly opened back cabin and ride the small platform on the derailleur to reach the top platform.  Once at the top, hop on the spinning platforms to reach the other side. |
| 5 |  Once at the other side, shoot the bell on the ceiling opposite of the locked door, then use Meridian Touch to destroy the lock. Pull the lever to fix the water level in the main cabin. |
| 5 |  With the water level properly raised, leave the cabin to reach the next area. |
| 6 |  Defeat the two enemies near the ladder and climb up. Unlock the door to reach the main upper area. |
| 7 |  Drop down the central area and defeat the two shielded enemies at the bottom. When ready, open the large doors for a boss fight. |
Defeat Murong Yuan
Murong Yuan is the final boss of Jinming Pool and has two phases. She is first fought in the bowels of the ship, and later at the top while accompanied by her Wooden Eagle.
First Phase Tips
Murong Yuan has several unblockable attacks which are signaled when her sword glows yellow. It's impossible to block or parry these attacks, even with block assist and the only way to counter these is to avoid her attack or use Meridian Touch to interrupt it.
Murong Yuan also has a parry move where she will quickly block all of your attacks with a sword and will retaliate with an extremely fast unblockable counterattack. Unlike her other unblockable attacks, it's not possible to cancel this move with Meridian Touch and the only way to avoid it is to dash to the side or stop attacking her when she blocks her entire body with her sword.
Second Phase Tips
During her second phase, Murong Yuan will be accompanied by her Wooden Eagle. The eagle is very fast and can shoot homing missiles at you from range. During this phase, Murong Yuan will usually stay near the back when her eagle is attacking, and will only start attacking you directly when the eagle moves away from the battle arena and starts circling the sky.
The Eagle is not your priority during this fight, though you still need to damage it enough so that Murong Yuan engages you again in the fight. The battle automatically ends when Murong Yuan's HP is reduced to zero.
Pick Up the Fragments on the Water
After the custcene, head north and jump into the water and pick up the fragments of the Wooden Eagle from the wreckage to complete the campaign.
Speak to Tang Ji'an by the Water
Speak to the old man named Tang J'ian sitting on the boat near the wreckage and there will be an option to give him Explosive Device Plans from the Quintadent Warship in exchange for the large chest near his home.
You can get the Explosive Device Plans by completing the following Wandering Tale and Encounter:
- Find all three parts of the Wooden Eagle underwater within the Jade Mirror Pond south of Kaifeng City. Hand over the parts to Li Shoujie at the bridge east of the Jadewood Court Wayfarer.
- Skip the time to midnight and talk to Li Shoujie again. Head to South Imperial Garden south of Jinming Pool and talk to Shi Shouxin to deliver the Wooden Eagle. This completes the Wandering Tale: The Eagle's Shadow.
- Wait 24 hours in real time from when you delivered the Wooden Eagle to unlock the Encounter: Soaring Eagle side quest.
- Travel to Jade Mirror Pond and talk to Zhenzhen near the shore surrounded by small wooden eagles to start the Encounter. Follow the quest objectives to complete it and obtain the Explosive Device Plans.
- After obtaining the Explosive Device Plans, fast travel to the Bian River Gate and present it to Tang J'ian to complete the Wandering Tale: All Beauty Fades.
