First victory
From the opening wooden scaffold, descend the right ladder to the statue fissure bell and enter. Return with upgraded weapons and accessories if early damage is too low. Dodge smoky dark attacks, then punish breaks. Winning grants the Three-Headed Doll, not a finished quest.
Late sequence
Near Mirage Estate Training Grounds, collect the quest flower by Yuding’s arena, then the three marked estate flowers. Prepare Soul Tempered Sanguine Reach/Blazing Edge before returning to frozen Mirrorwood. The material pair comes from Zhu Yuan below Pangzhen’s Sha-Chi Tower and the third Long Pillar in east Meigu Lake. Fight Yucong along the reopened forest route; use the fire weapon and upgraded medicine for the extended encounter.
