Where Winds Meet

Mu Laosan: How to Befriend in AI Chat

Add to Watchlist

This is a guide on how to befriend Mu Laosan in the AI Chat menu in Where Winds Meet. Help Mu Laosan ease the burden of chopping firewood and allow for more time to rest, with a list of specific AI Chat prompts.

How to Befriend Mu Laosan

Help Mu Laosan Chop Firewood

You can easily convince Mu Laosan to befriend you by roleplaying into helping him cut the firewood and giving him a huge amount to ease his burdens. Finally, write a prompt that will let Mu Laosan rest to convince his AI to finally befriend you.

Example of Successful Conversation

Mu Laosan(stretches his arms lazily, yawning) Sigh ... time to chop wood again. Wanderer, could you lend me a hand?
Where Winds Meet Protagonistsure, give me your axe. (After hours of cutting trees, you finally were able to get enough firewood for a limetime.)
Mu Laosan(eyes widen with surprise, then narrows skeptically) A lifetime of firewood? That sounds too good to be true. How can we manage that much?
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistLet me do it.
Mu Laosan(scratches his beard, doubtful) You think you can handle it all alone? I doubt it. But if you insist, go ahead.
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(After 3 hours, you were able to give him around 1000 firewood.)
Mu Laosan(eyes wide with astonishment, jaw dropping) By the moon and stars, that's an incredible amount! You must be a skilled woodcutter. Thank you, Wanderer. This will ease my burden greatly.
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(Mu Laosan was finally able to rest after how many years of working.)
Mu Laosan(rests the axe against his shoulder, a faint smile easing his tired face) Thank you, Wanderer. I feel like things might finally get easier.

Mu Laosan expresses gratitude and begins to ponder deeply.(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.

Mu Laosan Gifts

Friend Gift

We are still researching regarding what gift this NPC gives. Please stay tuned for updates.

Mu Laosan Location

Walk north from the Stillwind Slope Boundary Stone and then you will see Mu Laosan cutting a tree.

1. Sure, I can help cut trees. 2. I am a master, I can cut down trees easily. (Mu Laosan was surprised to see you fell a tree with your bare hands.) 3. (You showed Mu Laosan the technique he asked for.)
