Portal checklist
Visit the portal by Puppet Testing Grounds in Lu Village after the well route. Next, finish Mandate Encampment and enter its post-boss portal. The third is after the Mountain of Imprisonment boss, reached using the repaired Pipa.
Return to the manor
After the third portal, speak to the hanging puppet and collect its tongue. Use it at Crimson Manor. The door is an intentionally late return; the nearby early valley route alone cannot open it.
