Answer Qianshian's Questions

Infiltrate the Exile Camp

Set the Time to 21:00

Head over to your menu screen and select the Set Time button next to the Mail button. There, you can set the current time to 21:00 and hit confirm, which will advance the quest forward and allow you to infiltrate the camp.

Stay Away From the Dogs

Qianshian advices you to be extra cautious of the dogs around the area as they could easily blow your cover. Any other Exiles that might be alerted by your presence will be indicated by a diamond above their head with an eye icon.

Avoid them by maneuvering toward the far sides of the camp and making sure to keep your distance from them. Attempt further access to the camp by talking to the Exiles stationed by the checkpoint.

Distract Kuixiao

After failing to gain further entry into the camp, follow the marker and ride the elevator up to where Kuixiao is and attempt to distract him from his current location.

Answer Kuixiao's Question

Kuixiao will ask you if you would like a hot meal, which will let him know if you are the real Qiao Yang. Responding with "Both of us are not fans of hot food" will successfully make him leave the area and let you take the note he leaves.

Distract Xiyun

After gaining access to the camp, distract Xiyun so that she leaves her post by destroying one of the signal transmitters in the camp. While she checks on it, you can enter the room she was in and begin transmitting the data needed.

Defeat Exiles

As you exit the area, nearby Exiles and dogs will be alerted to your presence and trigger a cutscene. Leaving this cutscene will then initiate a fight with the entire camp.

After defeating all of the Exiles, report back to Qianshian in order to finish the quest.
