“The Undying Heroic Spirit” starts with the leader “Wolf” in a purple robe, in the room below Myst’s Tavern in Pangzhen. You beat the Chief Disciple of the Seven-Star Formation in the Mandate Encampment and then four Mandate masters who drop petals. It gives Hero’s Courage, used to temper Swordsman’s Summon. Missable: finish it before you close The Heart’s Trail.
Where does The Undying Heroic Spirit start?
In Pangzhen, in the chapter Town of Death. From the Myst’s Tavern bell, go into the room with several NPCs and talk to the purple-robed warrior sitting by a wall: that’s the leader “Wolf”. To progress you need to get into the Mandate Encampment (see how to enter).
Step by step
- Beat the Chief DiscipleIn the Mandate Encampment, next to the Three Towers bell, beat the Chief Disciple of the Seven-Star Formation (Encampment bosses). Careful: the tale Daughter of the Dark Sect is decided in that same fight.
- Go back to the leader “Wolf”He gives you the Shattered Hero’s Courage. With it, the Mandate masters who guard the petals of the Mandate Leaders Memory Flower appear.
- Help and beat each masterEach one is fighting enemies: help him and, when he kneels, beat him quickly so he drops his petal. Pick it up right away.
- Gather four petalsThe tale asks for four of the six. Once you have them you receive Hero’s Courage.
- Complete the flower (optional)All six petals give +10% max health. According to Vandal (Spanish guide), one can’t be reached until you progress in the story.
Where the six petals are
Book and petal titles are translated from the Spanish version of the game; the in-game English wording may differ.
| Petal | Where it is |
|---|---|
| The Golden Days | Pangzhen: south of the Pond of Fading Song, across the river |
| Extraordinary Means | Pangzhen: on the way to the Pangzhen Slums |
| Farewell | Mandate Encampment: river below the Mass Grave bell (jump from the ledge) |
| Desperate Situation | Mandate Encampment: behind the house southeast of the Behind the Encampment Waterfall bell |
| No Way Out | Mandate Encampment: tunnel on the Path of the Baishan’s Fall, after running along the wall |
| Sacrifice | Mandate Encampment: Three Towers, next to the bonfire and the targets |
Locations from our Memory Flowers guide and from Vandal. Vandal calls this petal “Dead End”.
Rewards
| Reward | Type | When |
|---|---|---|
| Hero’s Courage | Tempering material for Swordsman’s Summon (summoning Phantom Edges) | With four petals |
| +10% max health | Completed Memory Flower | With all six petals |
The tale fails when you climb the stairs behind the Green Serpent House, when you close The Heart’s Trail and move on to the Mirage Estate. Vandal leaves it out of the five tales that survive that cut-off. In addition, a petal is lost if the master transforms before you beat him. You have the rest of the cut-offs in the area order.
Why won’t it progress?
According to player reports on the Steam forum (not official information):
- The master doesn’t drop the petal: if he gets up and transforms before you kill him, he doesn’t drop it. Beat him while he’s kneeling. The one in Pangzhen, in front of the Pond of Fading Song, sometimes transforms almost instantly.
- The sixth petal is missing: “The Golden Days” sometimes doesn’t appear, and some petals disappear if you don’t pick them up right away.
- The markers disappear: they can vanish once you gather the four the tale asks for, even if you’re still two short for the flower.
Save manually before each master. One player says he got the sixth petal in New Game Plus and the flower was completed, because collected petals carry over.
