Old Man Gen and the gatekeeper
Speak to Old Man Gen when entering the village. Across the nearby stone bridge, defeat the gatekeeper to obtain Bastion Shield.
大廊桥 and the statue square
Clear the lower riverside enemies and the coffin encounter to remove the bridge’s red threads. Cross to the statue-square branch for 毕远.
The well and hidden encounters
Collect the six 萤火 memories to access 荡秽. Progress the 毕远, 碧海 and giant-remains events before descending 三人偶水井 for 玉瓒.
Prepare before the chapter finale

Side quests
一个不留: return route

人偶木心: deliver the letter

- Track him from 梯田 and recover the letter from his body, then return to the woman for 人偶木心.
The merchant’s three treasures
- 洞房花烛: climb to the upper room in the large house beyond 三人偶水井; open the chest left of the statue.
- 尚未蒙花的雕像: after 毕远, enter the house on the right and reach the upper platform chest.
- 双童玉佩: descend below the courtyard reached by rope from 机关巨怪残骸 and clear the cellar. Trade all three for 细线球.
Doors, barriers & return trips
Where are the five ribbons?
Check: the tree before the bridge beyond the gatekeeper; the tree at 幽蓝萤火之庙; the far side of 大廊桥 after clearing its threads; 圣母雕像场 Bell; and the right side of the wooden bridge below 三人偶水井.
Bleeding against puppets
Ordinary bleeding and life-steal are less useful against puppet bodies. 活木符 allows these effects to work at 50% on puppets, golden bodies and phantoms.
The locked 正道大营 entrance
The entrance encountered before Village of Lu is a later return route; continue through Pangzhen first.
Deliver the thief’s manual
After starting 一个不留, recover 飞贼的秘籍 beside Zhang’s raised platform in Crimson Forest. Descend from 飞贼藏宝地窖 through the courtyard and stone arch to 飞贼密道入口. Speak to the wounded thief in the open area beside the Bell and hand over the manual for 避箭护符.
Three late equipment detours
Flaming Mane opens the branches above 黑蛇屋; the room contains 强韧弓弦 and serpent quest items. With 长柄金瓜, break the cracked ground to the right of 兰家公子藏身处 for 戍边旗帜. With Tiger Cannon, drop right from 通向庞镇的密道 Bell and blast the wall for 戍边诗集.

Boss encounters
守门人拙壁
Use Iron Fists’ charged sequence to deplete his Sha-Chi, then execute the guard-broken enemy. Upgrade the gauntlets before fighting.
天玄派：毕远掌门残躯
Iron Fists can interrupt his guard; follow with Desperate Cavalry Blade to deal damage and recover health. Use fast dual blades between those openings to build Pure Sha-Chi.
苦叶寺：碧海大师残躯
Defeat the three summoned monks to remove his protective bell. Back away from the explosion when he emerges. Later waves combine armed monks with the boss’s ranged attacks.
操偶师：荡秽
You can damage him while his puppets are present. In the duplicate phase, the red-eyed figure is false: attack the dark-faced original. Dodge sideways against the giant half-puppet’s palm strike.
三号·乐师偶：“玉瓒”
Parry his white projectiles back at him. When a suction sphere appears on the ground, move to the arena edge before it explodes. Summoned monks can help interrupt his attacks.
“组织”少主：沐小葵
Gather all five ribbons before the fight to unlock the hidden phase. During the guard encounter, focus 铁鬼 first while tracking 玉妖’s ranged attacks. Do not exhaust Sha-Chi against her black-light chains.
