Four treasure checks
Ink: opposite Wu Xuan’s arena arch, in a courtyard house. Inkstone: after the dead-tree zipline, house left of the purple chest. Tiger Paperweight: Tianxiang Pavilion’s second-floor yellow room. Jade Pen Rack: with Water Dragon Head, pass the burning Market arch, look back-right and climb to the roof chest. Hand all four to Zhang for Golden Hand Cannon.
Blackstone sweep
Check the house past the giant tree after the abandoned cellar; the Market house’s second-floor chest reached by dropping from floor three; the path ahead-left of Zhan Qi’s junction; the explosive barrel by Back Street Rest Area; the next upper alley enemy clear; the courtyard beyond Green Serpent House’s right roof tunnel; and the school opened after Chang Hong and the jade-pendant scene.
Amber sweep
Check the high ledge after the cellar’s rooftop exit; the balcony below Bagua Pavilion’s roof; the facing rooftop route from the tavern; the shrine inside the back-street alley house; the purple chest at the dead-tree zipline landing; and Green Serpent House’s behind-left upper room.
Keys and final boundary
Clear Bagua Pavilion’s top floor for its roof key. Get the Mandate gate key down the post-Wan Yue well. The backstreet courtyard key is a later separate quest key and does not open Lao Gentou’s thorn route. Before the Green Serpent passage to Mirage Estate, audit purple quests and retain a save.
