Where Whence the Weeping continues

  • The quest begins in this first region but is not meant to finish here; its tracker opens only after later progression.
  • In Crimson Forest, the weeping returns near the regional boss. In Village of Lu, Jewel points the investigation northeast of Meigu Lake.
  • Reach Meigu Lake from northern Pangzhen after the west-side main boss unlocks the required Phantom Edge. Repairing Illusory Pipa clears the northeast barrier into Mountain of Imprisonment.
  • The quest completes after defeating the Mountain of Imprisonment boss at the top of the mountain.
