In Where Winds Meet, the Mist Shrouded Prison is a tomb with repeating loops and evolving environments. It involves solving a complex sequence of events to collect all chests and claim the treasure. Here's everything you need to know about it.

Location and How to Start

Mist Shrouded Prison takes place in Granary of Plenty in Kaifeng.

The nearest waypoint is Central Mistveil Forest.

To start the puzzle, simply interact with the lever outside and enter the gate.

Mist Shrouded Prison Mechanics

The prison dungeon cycles through three loops, with each loop distinguished by where the "red lady" NPC appears:

  • Loop 1: Red lady is inside the red room.
  • Loop 2: Red lady stands near a ladder.
  • Loop 3: Red lady is in a blue-flower-filled corridor.

The prison uses these loops to change room layouts subtly, unlock new paths, and introduce new chests and traps, making exploration feel like a layered puzzle.

Walkthrough

Step 1

Interact with the lever outside and enter the Mist Shrouded Prison. Then pull the lever inside and go down.

Step 2

Shoot down the blue bud on the wall.

Step 3

Go through the door and check out the journal on the table.

Step 4

Take the ladder on the left.

Step 5

Take right through the broken wall and go through the misty corridor.

Shoot the blue fungus poison bud at the end of the corridor to clear out the mist.

Step 6

Move ahead through the broken wall.

Step 7

Go down the stairs and grab the chest. Be careful, as soon as you get the chest, return to the stairs.

A contraption will fall. Jump on it.

As it is going up, hop on to the platform on the left.

And grab the chest.

Step 8

Return to the contraption. This time jump towards the opening on the left.

Step 9

Climb the stairs. To your left will be a contraption.

Go right and through the gate.

Wait for the contraption to follow.

While it's retreating, go back to the stairs. Then, wait until it moves and clears the way.

Then go left and grab the chest.

Step 10

Return to the stairs and wait for the contraption to return. Once it has gone past, go right and through the open gate again.

Step 11

Hop down and take the longer ladder on the right.

You will come across a red lady.

Step 12

Go to the right corridor.

This is the same corridor as before. Go through the same path as before and return to the ladder. You won't find the red lady this time.

Go straight and grab the chest.

Step 13

Return to the corridor with the horizontal spike contraption. Just before the open gate on the right, use the fire arrow to destroy the blue bud on the wall.

Step 14

Return to the start. Pull the lever to go upstairs.

Then pull the lever to go down.

Step 15

The door behind the table would now be unlocked. Go through it.

Step 16

Go to the right and grab the chest.

Step 17

Select 'Rest in Peace' before the coffin.

Return to the loop. The red lady will now have shifted to inside the room.

Step 18

Go through the loop again. When the red lady has shifted inside the misty corridor, strike the blue bulb on top of her.

Step 19

Move through the corridor. Here, a new opening would lead to a table with another anonymous letter.

Step 20

Return to the corridor. On the left will be the red lady standing next to a chest. Grab it.

Step 21

Go back to the room with the letter. Then take a right.

Look down. Wait for the contraption to stop under you. Then jump on it.

Step 22

As it is receding, jump to the upper level.

Step 23

Turn left. You will have to fight an enemy here.

Step 24

Behind the enemy will be the last chest.
