“Leave None Alive” triggers on its own when you reach the Village of Lu. You go back to the Crimson Forest and the Valley for two items and hand them in at the village. It gives the accessories Arrowward and Agarwood Prayer Beads. Missable: if you go through the tunnel without handing over the manual or if you give the monk the wrong answer.
Where does Leave None Alive start?
No NPC gives it: it triggers without warning when you reach the Village of Lu, in the chapter Heartless Remnants. Two markers appear on the map, the Thieves’ Camp in the Crimson Forest and the Mandate Outpost in Weeping Creek Valley. You can do them in any order. Travel with the bells.
Step by step
- Thieves’ Camp (Crimson Forest)Travel to the Thieves’ Camp bell and take out the bandits attacking it. One is on the bridge and another near Zhang’s hideout. That gets you the Manual del bandido (bandit’s manual).
- Give the manual to the wounded thiefHe’s next to the Smuggler’s Tunnel Entrance bell, in the Village of Lu. Give it to him before going through the tunnel: according to PowerPyx, if you push through it, the thief dies. He gives you Arrowward. Vandal (Spanish guide) says the hand-in marker appears after you progress in the village’s story.
- Mandate Outpost (Valley)Travel to the Mandate Outpost bell and go down to the house. A bronze monk, near where the merchant used to be, attacks you: beat him and he drops the Rosario (prayer beads). Vandal warns that the tale may stall for a while after this step.
- Go to the Survivors’ CourtyardTravel to that bell in the Village of Lu and talk to the monk at the camp.
- Answer “Don’t believe”When he asks you about the Lady of the Veil, choose not to believe and hand him the prayer beads. You receive the Agarwood Prayer Beads.
Rewards
| Reward | Type | Who gives it |
|---|---|---|
| Arrowward | Defensive accessory (see defensive accessories) | Wounded thief, when you give him the bandit’s manual |
| Agarwood Prayer Beads | Sha-Chi accessory (see Sha-Chi accessories) | Monk at the Survivors’ Courtyard |
Two mistakes close the tale. If you go through the smugglers’ tunnel without handing over the manual, the wounded thief dies (PowerPyx). And if you choose to believe in front of the monk, he turns to stone and you can no longer talk to him (PowerPyx and Fextralife). In addition, Vandal states that when you close The Heart’s Trail every pending tale fails except five, and this one isn’t among them. Save manually before talking to the monk.
Why won’t it progress?
If you already have the prayer beads and the monk’s marker doesn’t appear, continue the Village of Lu story: Vandal says the tale stalls for a while after the Mandate Outpost. If the wounded thief is no longer next to the tunnel entrance, you most likely went through the tunnel before giving him the manual. In that case, the only way out is loading an earlier save.
Frequently asked questions
What do I answer the monk in Leave None Alive?
“Don’t believe”. If you choose to believe, the monk turns to stone and you lose the Agarwood Prayer Beads.
Where is the bandit’s manual?
It’s dropped by the bandits raiding the Thieves’ Camp in the Crimson Forest, when you beat them.
Is Leave None Alive the same tale as “Ni uno solo” and “Que nadie quede con vida”?
Yes. “Ni uno solo” is Vandal’s name and other Spanish guides translate it as “Que nadie quede con vida”. In English it’s Leave None Alive.
What does Arrowward do?
It’s a defensive accessory against ranged attacks. You have its effect in the list of defensive accessories.
