Walkthrough

Follow these steps to complete the Twisted Destiny quest:

Step 1

First, head to the ruined house near the Bamboo Retreat. Once inside, open the cabinet and change into Uncle Jiang’s clothing, a disguise necessary for the next phase.

Step 2

On the porch, examine the bloody sack; this triggers part of the quest. Then read the “Challenge to the Cur” note fixed on the broken door to properly start the encounter.

Step 3

Change the time to Zi hour.

Step 4

Next, make your way to the General’s Shrine — northwest of the Bamboo Retreat.

Step 5

After the cutscene, the Headsman challenges you to a duel. In this first fight, you're limited to a Nameless Sword, and you cannot use Mystic Arts or Inner Way. Fight him until his health drops to about half; he’ll then stop, realizing you’re not really Jiang Yan.

Step 6

Explore the shrine for hidden clues; investigate the bloody sack on a table.

Step 7

Investigate the General’s Teachings on an altar.

Step 8

Look for a confession letter lying on the floor.

Step 9

The two soldier statues outside.

Step 10

Finally, inspect the base of the General’s statue.

Step 11

Start the Deduction feature. Link together the collected clues:

Relate the “Statue’s Face” to the “Confession Letter” (indicating a connection to Wang Qing)

Step 12

Use the “General’s Teachings” to interpret how the killer viewed General Wang Qing.

Step 13

Match “Ones Who Wronged the General” as motivation driven by devotion turned blind.

Step 14

Finally, identify where this person would go next: Harvestfall Village, driven by a sense of vengeance.

Step 15

With your deduction complete, travel to Harvestfall Village.

Step 16

Once you've reached Harvestfall Village, eavesdrop on a conversation between the Headsman and a Deranged Soldier. This triggers another cutscene.

Step 17

The Headsman challenges you once more. This time, you are fully equipped — you have weapons, Mystic Arts, and access to Inner Way.

Step 18

Fight him again, and when his health hits the halfway mark, he stops. Follow him, and he will ask you to fetch him some wine.

Step 19

Head to Blissful Retreat to get the wine.

Step 20

Retrieve the wine; it will be hidden between some rocks.

Step 21

Return to the Headsman and give him the wine. A cutscene follows, where he reveals more about his plan to extract information from the Deranged Soldier.

Step 22

Finally, head back to Harvestfall Village once more. Sit on a bench to trigger a scene with the Liu Musan.

Step 23

Use Wind Sense to track his footprints to track Liu Musan confront him

Step 24

This confrontation culminates in a final cutscene that reveals the truth behind the General, wrapping up the quest.

Twisted Destiny masterfully blends stealth, investigation, and combat to unravel a sorrowful tale rooted in honor and regret. By donning a disguise and exploring the General’s Shrine for clues, you don’t just defeat an enemy — you empathize with him. Uncovering the Headsman’s motives in Harvestfall Village and helping him confront his past completes a deeply human story. The rewards, including the Hero Title – Guest from the Past, reflect the emotional weight of the quest, and finishing it enriches your journey through the Jianghu with both prestige and insight.
