Tips
- Conserve your resources before the Giant Geese fight near Mei Chuanyi; stock up on healing items as this battle can be surprisingly tough early on.
- When lending 1,000 coins to each victim, make sure you have enough coins saved up beforehand to avoid quest progression delays.
- Use the environment strategically during the boulder clearance—luring enemies away before detonating fire barrels helps avoid unnecessary damage.
- After activating Windsense, move slowly and take cover to avoid alerting the hidden group prematurely.
