  2. Find the Five Scattered Military Flags
  3. Enter Whitecrown City Again
  4. Defend the City from Siege Monsters
  5. Find the Next Military Flag
  6. Place Down the Military Flags
  7. Defeat Guo Xin
  8. Uncover Guo Xin's Predicament

1. Enter Whitecrown City

1.1
Enter Whitecrown City
Go to the entrance of Whitecrown City southeast of Jade Gate Pass and interact with the white beam at the gates. Insist the city guard to let you into the city.
1.2
Go Down the Road to the Arena
You'll be transported to what appears to be Whitecrown City in the past. Continue down the road until you reach an arena.
1.3
Defeat the Grand Protector of Anxi
Suddenly, you'll be in a boss battle against the Grand Protector of Anxi. Regardless of whether or not you beat the boss, you'll be taken back outside Whitecrown City.

2. Find the Five Scattered Military Flags

2.1
Military Flag 1 Location
Next, you'll need to find five military flags scattered across Jade Gate Pass. The flags aren't pinned on the map so you need to follow the quest markers in-game instead. The first flag is found near the gates to Whitecrown City by a dried-up well.
2.2
Military Flag 2 Location
The second flag is planted up north in Peaceward Camp near a building and a campfire.
2.3
Military Flag 3 Location
The third flag is on top of the main building of Howling Sand Outpost, northeast of Jade Gate Pass. The flag is guarded by a soldier with Utuk Raptors flying around. You don't have to defeat the enemies to get the flag.
2.4
Military Flag 4 Location
The fourth flag is west of Lost Crossing in a deserted area with a torn tree. You can teleport to the Karez Boundary Stone to cross the distance much faster.
2.5
Military Flag 5 Location
The fifth and last flag is found near the Squarewall Hold Ruins Boundary Stone south of Jade Gate Pass.
2.6
Return to the City Guard
With all flags collected, return to the white beam of light outside Whitecrown City. Talk to the city guard through the beam.

3. Enter Whitecrown City Again

3.1
Touch the Military Flag
After talking to the city guard, you'll return to the past version of Whitecrown City. Head toward the military flag to touch it, transporting you to a grain tower in Wraithridge Pass.
3.2
Check the Situation in the Grain Tower
In Wraithridge Pass, go past the hallway and follow the soldier into an open area in the grain tower. At a table, write a family letter and hand it over to the courier after a brief cutscene.
3.3
Find the Military Flag
You'll be then asked to investigate the second floor. On your way, an explosion will occur, blocking your way. Leap on the floating debris with Cloud Steps to reach the military flag. Finding yourself back on a road, head down to touch the next military flag.

4. Defend the City from Siege Monsters

4.1
Form a Bridge with Cosmic Reversal
On a roof, use the Cosmic Reversal Mystic Skill to assemble a bridge from the roofs floating around.
4.2
Shoot Siege Monsters with the Ballista
After assembling a bridge, use the ballista to shoot the flying siege monsters. Keep shooting until the ballista is destroyed by a fireball.
4.3
Defeat More Siege Monsters
Descend from the bridge by using Cosmic Reversal to assemble more makeshift platforms. Fend off the next wave of siege monsters with the ballista on the roof. Next, use Cosmic Reversal again to make more platforms leading to a fortified wall below.
4.4
Assist the Defenders in Defeating the Enemies
On the fortified wall, assist the soldiers by helping them defeat seven Utuk Raptors. After defeating them, talk to the wounded soldier on the ground.

5. Find the Next Military Flag

Find the Next Military Flag
Another explosion will happen, causing time to freeze like in the grain tower. Use Clouds Steps to jump on the objects in the air to find and touch the next military flag.

6. Place Down the Military Flags

Place Down the Military Flags
On a dusty road, go ahead and activate the Hero's Tomb, setting the stage for a boss fight ahead. Place down the military flags on the highlighted areas in front of you.

7. Defeat Guo Xin

Defeat Guo Xin
After putting down the flags, defeat the boss Guo Xin, the Grand Protector of Anxi. Guo Xin's attacks are quite slow, allowing you to strike him between his attack animations. Watch out for the soldiers he summons to briefly fight alongside him.

In his second phase, Guo Xin becomes the Iron-Blooded Prince and begins to incorporate lightning and ranged attacks.

8. Uncover Guo Xin's Predicament

Uncover Guo Xin
Once the Iron-blooded Prince has been defeated, he will return to being Guo Xin. Talk to him to tell him that the siege is finally over. After a cutscene, the quest will end.

Whitecrown Fortress Boss Guide

Guo Xin Overview

Guo Xin Icon Guo Xin Difficulty Rating ★★★★☆
Location
Found in Whitecrown City

Guo Xin is a boss fought in the Whitecrown Fortress Campaign quest. The best tip to beating Guo Xin is to parry his troops' attacks as doing so depletes his Qi very quickly. As the Iron-blooded Prince in Phase 2, be careful with his feints and ranged attacks as they can bait you into parrying early. He also begins to move more quickly, easily covering distances with his ranged attacks.
