A Free Intel Walkthrough
| Step | Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Once A'da is healed, he will tell you about an old Mohist Hill Outpost cave with a treasure for saving his life. There will be no enemies on that cave, but you will have to work through puzzles to get the treasure. |
| 2 |  Exit the cave and head towards the other cave that A'da was talking about, which is slightly southeast from your current location. Use the mechanism in front of the the cave to open it once you get there. |
| 3 |  Enter the cave until you see two breakable walls. The first wall contains the first chest, which you can open by shooting the explosive barrel nearby. The next breakable wall unlocks the next area. You can break it by picking up a small explosive barrel from the dispenser and repeating the process from the first wall. |
| 4 |  Next is to ignite the Campfire Mechanisms to open the door to the next area. You can find one to the right, in front of the door, and to the left near the waterfall. |
| 5 |  Before proceeding, take the two chests on a path behind the waterfall down below on the left (where you spot the 3rd Campfire Mechanism). You should also get the Tome (Tattered Secret Manual) on the path in between the chest in this area, which is needed later for this quest. |
| 5 |  Proceed further in the cave and use the cable cars until you get to the other side. A chest can be found on the way to the cable cars and another one on the other side of the area. Before going back, make sure to light up the Campfire Mechanism as it will be needed to open the door. |
| 6 |  After getting the last treasure and lighting up the Campfire Mechanism near it, use the cable car to go down a level and head to the door. Light up another Campfire Mechanism beside the door and look for the other ones hidden to open the door. |
| 7 |  Take the cable car on the right facing the door. After that, take a small explosive barrel from the dispenser and place it on the breakable wall on the path to the right to light up the next Campfire Mechanism. |
| 8 |  Head back to the door and take the final treasure. You can exit the cave in the same room and return to A'da. |
| 9 |  Return to A'da to give the Secret Manual. He will then hint you to another cave, but this time there will be enemies instead of puzzles. |
| 10 |  Head further south to find the cave and clear it to get the treasure chest. You can then open the chest to the right at the end of the hallway to get your rewards. |
| 11 |  A'da will appear after opening the chest and try to take you out so he can get the treasure all to himself. He's at the same level as the enemies you fought to get the chest, so it should be easy to defeat him. |
| 12 |  A'da will swear loyalty to you once you beat him. The quest ends here and you will get the main rewards soon after. |
