“Lion Dance Hall Depths” triggers when you pick up a petal of the Lion Dance Grandmaster Memory Flower, in Pangzhen. It’s completed when you gather its six petals. The complete flower gives +10% max health. For two of the petals you need to open the Hall and get Flame‘s Flaming Mane. Do it before you close The Heart’s Trail.
Where does Lion Dance Hall Depths start?
In Pangzhen, in the chapters Town of Death and The Heart’s Trail. No NPC gives it: it triggers when you pick up the first petal of the Grandmaster’s flower. The easiest one to find is at the inn next to the Marketplace bell. The flower is tied to the Lion Dance Hall, which opens with the Heavy Lion Hall Gate Key dropped by Chang Hong.
Step by step
The petals can be picked up in any order. These are their locations according to our Memory Flowers guide:
Book and petal titles are translated from the Spanish version of the game; the in-game English wording may differ.
- New Year GreetingsAt the inn next to the Marketplace bell.
- The PerformanceOn a table on the main street of Huang Manor Crossroads.
- A Wondrous ArtIn a courtyard near the Pond of Fading Song, past the zip line.
- The Unexpected TwistOn the sloping path in the Green Serpent House area.
- The Wooden ManIn the second courtyard of the Lion Dance Hall. You have to open the locked door, so beat Chang Hong first and use the Heavy Lion Hall Gate Key.
- Truth and IllusionBehind the brambles at the top of the stairs, northwest of Huang Manor Crossroads. You need the Flaming Mane to burn them: you get it by beating Flame, the Mask-Bound Lion Dance Grandmaster, and Lei Dang repairs it for you.
Rewards
| Reward | Type | When |
|---|---|---|
| +10% max health | Completed Memory Flower | When you gather all six petals |
Vandal (Spanish guide) doesn’t list any other reward for the tale. The Flaming Mane and the trophy The Lion’s Spirit Lives On come from the fight against Flame, not from the tale.
No source gives it a deadline of its own. But Vandal states that when you close The Heart’s Trail only five tales can stay open, and this isn’t one of them. That chapter ends when you place the serpent tongue, fang and eye in the Green Serpent House and head up to the Mirage Estate. Gather all six petals before that. You have the rest of the cut-offs in the area order.
Why won’t it progress?
If you’re missing petals, they’re almost always the two with a requirement: the one in the Hall’s second courtyard (you need Chang Hong’s Heavy Lion Hall Gate Key) and the one behind the brambles (you need the Flaming Mane, which comes after Flame). A single petal gives no health: only the complete flower counts.
