Five checkpoints
1: tree beside the wooden bridge beyond the gatekeeper’s red-lantern gate. 2: branch in front of the blue-firefly temple. 3: left side beyond Grand Covered Bridge after clearing its red thread. 4: the bell appearing after Bi Yuan in the statue grounds. 5: right side near the wooden bridge below the Well of Three Puppets after completing the remnant story steps.
Finale and reward
Mu Xiaokui’s second phase includes guard phantoms: watch dark attacks while choosing short openings. In the added guard fight, focus the Iron Ghost first while keeping the agile Jade Demon visible. Defeating the hidden-phase Jade Demon awards Demon Saw; ordinary completion gives Wild Oriole Sword.
