How To Start The Twisted Destiny Quest
The Twisted Destiny quest is a hidden quest that you will not see on your map, which means you need to go and trigger it.
Simply make your way to the very east of the Qinghe region, just south of the Bamboo Abode. At the end of the passage, you should find a ruined house.
At the entrance, just to the left, you should find a knife strapped to a bloody note on the wall. Interact with it. Doing so will trigger the Twisted Destiny quest.
Go inside the house, and just behind the wall where the note was, you will find a wardrobe. Interact with it in order to swap clothes.
How To Wait For The Zi Hour
After you change your outfit, make your way to the General’s Shrine location northwest of your position. Once you are there, open your menu using ESC and go to Time.
Scroll through the available times until you find the one labeled Zi. Select that one to skip the time to night.
A cutscene will start where a strange man will try to attack you, and then you will have to fight him. Feel free to fight, but this is not a boss fight, so you don’t have to worry about winning as it will stop midway.
After you finish talking to the blind man, you will need to investigate the temple around you.
There will be six clues that you can interact with: three just outside the temple near the statues, and the remaining three inside the temple. Make sure you interact with all of them.
How To Complete The Deduction Puzzle
Now, with all six clues gathered, it’s time to start the Deduction puzzle. This puzzle requires you to link the clues together and answer questions in order to come up with the conclusion.
But hey, don’t worry about it, because we have all the answers listed here in the table.
| Question | Clues Combined | Result |
|---|---|---|
| What ties do these statues have to Wang Qing? | Statue’s Face + Confession Letter | Ones who wronged the General |
| How does the killer in the General’s Shrine view Wang Qing? | A General’s Death Repaid with Heads + Remember the General’s Teaching | From Respect to Blind Devotion |
| What brought the killer to the General’s Shrine? | From Respect to Blind Devotion + Ones who wronger the General | Avenge General Wang Qing |
| Where could this person go next? What for? | A Resident of Harvestfall Village + Avenge General Wang Qing | Go to Harvestfall Village and slay the traitor |
Now that you have come to the conclusion, you need to go to Harvestfall Village, located to the very west of the shrine.
Once you make your way there, you will find the blind man already there.
How To Complete The Twisted Destiny Quest
Approach him, and this will start a cutscene where you will need to fight the blind man again, but just like last time, it will stop midway through.
After you figure out that this is not the man he wanted, follow the blind man along the way. At some point, he will ask you to steal some wine from him just straight ahead.
Go there, and you should find it hidden between two rocks near the wine jars. Pick it up and bring it back to the blind man.
Here, you will have a long conversation with him about the past of Jian Yan. At the end of the conversation, you will need to disguise yourself as Uncle Jiang and return to Harvestfall Village.
There, talk to the same old man from the previous interaction, and you will try to exchange the wine with him to learn about the general’s secret.
At the end, he will run away, and you need to follow the footsteps. This will lead to the east exit of the village, where you will find the old man speaking near a broken carriage.
After the conversation and the cutscene here, the quest will be completed.
