The Four Guardians’ Mirror (four guardians mirror) is in the northwest corner of Meigu Lake, on a frozen islet. To cross it you need the 4 acolyte masks: Yanru (Village of Lu), Lei Ting (Pangzhen), Guhe (Meigu Lake) and Hansui (Crimson Manor). Behind it are the Phantom Illusionist Ruins.
The 4 masks
| Mask | Boss | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Yanru’s Blazing Mask | Acolyte Yanru | Village of Lu, behind a scarecrow; Broken Puppet Pit Entrance bell |
| Leiting’s Thunder Mask | Acolyte Lei Ting | Pangzhen, near the Old Man Gen’s House bell |
| Guhe’s Venom Mask | Acolyte Guhe | Meigu Lake, Meigu Village East Dock bell (bring the Preservation Jar) |
| Hansui’s Frost Mask | The Puppet Scavenger and Acolyte Hansui | Crimson Manor |
Each mask completes part of the purple quest “Secrets at the Heart of the Lake”. You have the strategies in the acolytes and their masks.

The Phantom Illusionist Ruins
They have no in-game map and their 7 bells don’t allow fast travel between them. The boss is the Blizzard Blademaster (Whiteshadow). After beating him, examine the statue: it unlocks an extra fight for the true ending. Here you also find the fourth Long Pillar (break the marked spot with the Dread Axe), the Phantom Brew (via a zip line), the Acolyte Icicle and the Yin and Yang puppet eyes, which give the Violet Blossom to temper Inanis’ Radiant Fan.
