“Secrets of the Baishan Sect” is given by Lanlan on the great bridge east of the Outlaw Trap bell (Crimson Forest). Rescue the Baishan disciple under the Cliffside Lodge and finish it in the Mandate Encampment in this order: Wu Lengshuang → examine Bi Taotao’s body → Yubi. It gives the trophy The Last of Baishan. Accept it before defeating Bai Chilian and do not defeat Yubi without examining the body.
Where does Secrets of the Baishan Sect start?
- Region: Crimson Forest, chapter Snake’s Reflection.
- Nearest bell: Outlaw Trap. The bridge is to the east and you have to cross it anyway.
- NPC: Lanlan, one of the two women on the bridge (the other is Ju). They ask you to rescue sister Meng.
- Requirement: to finish it you need to enter the Mandate Encampment, an optional region.
Step by step
Book and petal titles are translated from the Spanish version of the game; the in-game English wording may differ.
- Talk to LanlanOn the great bridge in the Crimson Forest.
- Cellar crankFollow the story to the marked house (Cliffside Lodge bell). Climb the ladder to the terrace and take the Manivela del sótano del Bosque Rojo. Open the trapdoor under the planks.
- Go down to the cellarNext to the bars is the book The Baishan Sect. Vandal (Spanish guide) advises going left and avoiding the path on the right (green glow and a butcher).
- Collect what is in the cellarThrough the north tunnel, the petal A Means to Resist. In the cage on the right, the Crimson Forest Secret Chamber Crank and a chest with a Blackstone Fragment. From the top of the stairs, jump down for the Thieves’ Camp Dungeon Key (you will use it in “A Healer’s Mercy“).
- Talk to the wounded discipleOpen the secret chamber with its crank. She asks you to save the sect. The tale goes on hold.
- Defeat Wu LengshuangIn the Mandate Encampment. Vandal takes you through the Path of the Baishan’s Fall bell and the chain next to it; Fextralife, KeenGamer and our guide place it after The Confinement bell. He drops the Soft Snake Sword and a Blackstone Fragment. See Mandate Encampment bosses.
- Examine Bi Taotao’s bodyClimb the steps and examine it among the flowers. Do it right after the fight.
- Defeat YubiIn the Training Grounds, with the Llave de los campos de entrenamiento dropped by the Chief Disciple of the Seven-Star Formation. Yubi, No. 21 Swordfighter Puppet, is Bi Taotao’s puppet form. Beating her closes the tale.
Rewards
| Reward | From |
|---|---|
| A Means to Resist petal | Cliffside Lodge cellar (Memory Flowers) |
| Soft Snake Sword and Blackstone Fragment | Wu Lengshuang |
| Baishan Stormswords and Broken Vessel | Yubi (dual weapons) |
| The Last of Baishan trophy | When you close the tale (missable trophies) |
Two cut-offs: accept it from Lanlan before defeating Bai Chilian, and examine Bi Taotao’s body before defeating Yubi. If you defeat Yubi first, the tale fails and you lose the trophy. Also close it before climbing the stairs behind the Green Serpent House. See points of no return.
Why is it not progressing?
- Bi Taotao’s body does not count: according to player reports on the Steam forum, sometimes the game does not register that you examined it and the tale fails when you defeat Yubi. One player links it to quitting the game or touching a bell between Wu Lengshuang and the body. It is not an official fix: examine it right after the fight, save manually before Yubi and check in the journal that the objective changed.
- It does not progress after Wu Lengshuang: on Reddit, a player reports that going back to the area does not fix it. Back up your save and do not overwrite every autosave.

Frequently asked questions
In what order do you do Secrets of the Baishan Sect?
Lanlan (before Bai Chilian), the Cliffside Lodge cellar, Wu Lengshuang, Bi Taotao’s body and, finally, Yubi.
Why did it fail if I defeated Yubi?
Because you did not examine Bi Taotao’s body first, or because the game did not register it (a bug reported by players). It can only be fixed by loading an earlier save.
Where is Lanlan?
On the great bridge east of the Outlaw Trap bell, in the Crimson Forest.
