The Old Village Ruin Outpost in Jadewood Court offers a unique twist compared to most outposts in Where Winds Meet. Instead of a standard enemy-clearing sequence, you are given two distinct options to conquer it: defeat a large group of guards and then challenge the boss, or initiate a full wrestling match directly against Qin Lao. This guide covers both approaches and walks you through each step clearly.
