Progression order
Hear the next clue in Crimson Forest, then ask Jewel in Lu Village. Continue through Pangzhen’s western boss to open the route north to Meigu Lake.
Clear the barrier
Repair the Illusory Pipa, use it at northeast Meigu Lake, and progress up the Mountain of Imprisonment to defeat its region boss. Missing tracking early in the valley is expected; circling that starting map will not complete the chain.
