Quick answer

“The Broad Saber” starts with a man locked in a cage in the Hanging Cage Cavern, in the Mountain of Imprisonment. You have to beat Bi Feng, Giant Saber Commander, and go back to the cage. The reward is the Fragmento del caldero ritual III. It can be missed if you go up the stairs past the Green Serpent House without finishing it.

Where does The Broad Saber start?

In the Hanging Cage Cavern of the Mountain of Imprisonment, which you go through as part of the region’s story. After crossing a tunnel you reach an enemy camp. Clear it (it drops a blackstone) and talk to the man calling to you from one of the cages: he is the Wulin fighter who gives you the task. The mountain opens with the Illusory Pipa (see how to reach the Mountain of Imprisonment).
