Full Walkthrough

1. Rescue the Crying Man

  • Travel to Ethereal Mountain in the Roaring Sands region, up the staircase ahead of the Skyreach Terrace Boundary Stone.
  • Defeat the three Xuanyuan Cult Members at the top of the terrace. They use ranged attacks and turn invisible (you cannot lock on while invisible, but melee attacks still work).
  • Speak to the crying man, Suan Sanchun. He mentions the Azure Dragon facing the sun.

2. Turn the Azure Dragon to Face East

  • In the underground chamber, approach the sitting corpse on the steps to pick up the Tattered Eight Trigrams clue. Open the nearby chest on the left.
  • Face the large sealed door and interact with the Bagua Wheel Platform.
  • Rotate the inner and outer rings to match the symbols from the Tattered Eight Trigrams clue. Listen for a clicking sound when aligned correctly (it forms a yin-yang pattern).
  • Enter the door and activate the Hero's Tomb.

4. Descend into the Chamber

  • Pull the elevator lever to go deeper. It stops midway: defeat three Xuanyuan Cult Members, open the chest, and pull the lever again.
  • At the bottom, activate another Hero's Tomb. Slip through the doors, defeat the ambushing Xuanyuan Moon Minister, then activate the Ethereal Chamber Boundary Stone.

5. Defeat the Xuanyuan Cult Members (Arena Fight)

  • Clear three waves of Xuanyuan Cult Members, ending with the Xuanyuan Luminarch.
  • Combat Tips: Enemies summon astral barriers (Moon Disks hover above). Shoot the Moon Disk with fire arrows to dispel it. For the Luminarch, depleting his Qi via the disk enables an Execute.
  • Speak to Jin Zhongyuan at the central pavilion. He gives the Tattered Four Symbols Chart clue (Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise).

6. Retrieve the Three North Star Orbs (Hexagram Enclosures)

Use the North Star Bagua Platform behind Jin Zhongyuan to rotate ceiling panels (beasts) and ground platforms (symbols). Doors glow when correct. Pick any order; return each orb to Jin Zhongyuan.
