Answer-first walkthrough
Step 1
Complete Lost Among Ancient Bulwarks
This is the first gate. After it ends, talk to the Unknown Person who gives or discusses the regional map.
Step 2
Follow the Unknown Person to Mustard Hut
The Unknown Person is revealed as the painter. This conversation introduces the missing friend Fang Bai and starts the practical investigation.
Step 3
Search Xiao Pass Old Road for clues
The quest points you toward Xiao Pass Old Road. Do not skip this investigation, because it connects into the Lettered and Locked exploration objective.
Step 4
Complete Lettered and Locked at the outpost
You can sneak around the outpost rather than fully clearing it. Look for the dungeon near the road and wooden-bridge towers.
Step 5
Free Wen Moshen
Speak with Wen Moshen, then find the cage key. References place the key on the tower closest to the dungeon entrance, on top in a box.
Step 6
Report back to the painter
Return to the painter at Mustard Hut after Lettered and Locked. This is what makes the chain useful for Sunken City Lake follow-up.
