Quick answer

“The Cube” starts with a fisherman in the room below Myst’s Tavern, in Pangzhen. You have to gather two fragments at Meigu Lake, go back to him and talk to Myst. It gives the Remnant Spark Cube accessory (+12% Phantom Edge damage). Finish it before completing The Heart’s Trail.

Where does The Cube start?

In Pangzhen, in the chapter Town of Death. From the Myst’s Tavern bell, go into the room with several NPCs and look for the man in the back right corner, opposite the exit door. He is the fisherman from the tale. To progress you need to reach Meigu Lake (see how to get there): you need Flaming Mane to burn the brambles at the dock.

Missable

SoloJugadores recommends finishing it before the Mirage Estate, and Vandal says that when you finish The Heart’s Trail only five tales can remain open, and this is not one of them. That chapter ends when you place the serpent pieces in the Green Serpent House and go up toward the Estate. The rest of the cutoffs are in the area order.
