    Rewards

    • Cloud Steps
    • Hidden statue reward

    Open the suspicious floor

    Investigate the shrine’s kneeling man and the book left behind, then follow the dog’s barking to the suspicious floor. Stand over the marked section and use Mighty Drop to break through.

    A normal jump or repeated weapon swing is not the required downward action. If the floor does nothing, centre yourself over the suspicious section and check that you used the correct movement action.

    Establish the underground checkpoint

    After dropping into the passage, activate the underground Boundary Stone before continuing. Open the nearby chest and prepare Fire Arrows for the vines and unlit mechanism along the route.

    Select the fire ammunition explicitly. Carrying it in your Bag does not mean the bow is currently firing it. Check the visible result: vines should burn away and the intended lamp should light.

    Use the barrels to open the route

    Continue through the guarded passages and burn the vines holding the wooden bridge. At the blocked passage, use the supplied explosive barrel, place it beside the rubble and ignite it from a safe distance.

    Later barrels can help clear enemy groups and the obstruction by the door. Aim at the obstacle’s barrel rather than spending arrows on the stone itself. Wait for the explosion and route change before running forward.

    Inspect the body for Cloud Steps

    At the foot of the stairs before the next door, inspect the body to learn Cloud Steps. Do this before continuing into the larger bandit room. The skill pickup is an interaction, not a reward for merely passing the stairs.

    Fight the bandits and Zhang Lang, using the room’s space to avoid being surrounded. Treat the newly learned skill as an available tool, but keep your normal defensive response ready rather than assuming it cancels every enemy action.

    Read the tablet and bow three times

    After the fight, read the tablet by the large general’s statue. Stand at the bowing position and perform the prompted respectful gesture three times. The statue moves and reveals the concealed passage.

    Count completed gestures rather than rapid button presses. If nothing opens, confirm you are using the correct statue and interaction after reading the tablet, not a different emote somewhere else in the room.

    Loot and leave through the upper route

    Collect the hidden reward behind the statue, then follow the passage toward the ladder. Check the chest behind the rubble and the one near the ladder before climbing out. Finish the final shrine interaction when the quest directs you to pay respects again.

    The useful completion checks are separate: Cloud Steps learned, hidden statue passage opened, and the final objective closed. Leaving immediately after the skill pickup can leave the rest of this legacy unfinished.
