Scope and unresolved details

  • A few Meigu Lake entry and branch details remain incomplete; the page keeps those sections narrower than a full turn-by-turn route.
  • This page reflects launch-period sources checked on 30 October 2026. A later patch can change exact values, menus or quest availability.

How the lake becomes reachable

Advance through Pangzhen and defeat the main west-side boss to obtain the Phantom Edge that opens the route north of town. The Sha-Chi Powered Boat quest then leads to the lake and its islands; docking at bells makes the later return trip easier.

  • Fast travel remains useful for revisiting earlier docks; keep a manual save before the boat quest and major regional transitions.
  • A separate Serpent House island objective produces the White Serpent Eye for the later Mirage Estate door.
