Companion Mission "Return of the Dragon" Walkthrough

How to start a task

Before you can take on its implementation, you will need to meet a couple of important conditions, which include:

• Reach at least 38 Mastering level.
• Complete the story mission called "The end of the burial, the beginning of the journey" unfolding on Lofu Xianzhou.

After dealing with the above requirements, wait for a special message to arrive on your in-game smartphone. In this case, your character can be in any location. If nothing happens, then try teleporting to another area or/and log out of your account, wait 20-30 minutes and re-enter the game.

Meet Dan Heng at Zhomu Pavilion

Go to the northern part of the Exalted Shrine area in Lofu Xianzhou. Already at the teleport you will see Dan Heng talking with Huanxi, Bailu's maid. The girl will tell you that the title of Supreme Elder passed to Bail from Dan Feng, which violated the traditional order of succession. Dan Heng wants to atone for the guilt of his past incarnation by restoring the seals of the Ambrosia Tree, and to see Bailu.

Go to the Alchemy Commission

From your location, head northeast. At the entrance to the Commission, the healer Luin will meet you and advise you not to interfere in the affairs of the elders.

Luin's advice won't stop you, so go ahead and talk to the skiff.

Meet Bailu

From your location, go south first - here you will see Jing Yuan. If you wish, you can ask him about the motives of the elders and the Commission. After that, take the stairs to the west and go to the quest marker. Along the way, you will meet the animals of Opulence, but you can run past them.

True, you still have to fight - but with evil vidyadharas who want to punish Dan Heng for past crimes. These 3 opponents have physical and imaginary vulnerabilities. Your squad will only have Dan Heng in the form of the Eater of the Moon. After the victory, go to Bile.

You will enter the Scaled Gorge - it is presented in the form of a challenge with certain conditions and opponents - these are mainly Beasts of Opulence and Stealth Assassins. Reward for completing the challenge: 6 Traveler's Guides, 6 Lost Crystals and 60,000 credits.

The recommended damage types for passing are ice, wind and imaginary. You should take Dan Heng: Eater of the Moon as a trial hero (or from your collection if you have one), so you will definitely have at least one hero suitable for the trial. Several command options for passing we have given in the table below.

After the cut-scene with Bailu, go forward to the Ambrosia Tree. After the seals are restored, 4 stealth assassins will attack you.

Approach the echo mirage. From him you will get the ability to find opponents hiding with the help of status Stealth. We advise you to use it as often as possible so as not to fall into an ambush and make battles easier. If you do not have time to use this ability, the enemies that attacked you will be able to hide their vulnerabilities and advance their actions several turns ahead.

The next mirage is next to the energy anchor.

On your way to the next quest marker, you will come across another echo mirage with a distorted voice - it may not be necessary to interact with it, but for a full understanding of the plot, we advise you to listen to it.

Next, you will encounter a mirage with an angry voice that accuses Dan Heng of betraying the Vidyadhara.

Move on - along the way, talk to another echo mirage with a timid voice.

Move on and talk to Huanxi. The girl admits that she wanted to get rid of the "weak candidate" for the elder, and the mercenaries you met are her accomplices.

You will engage in battle with a squad of trial heroes: Baylu, the Moon Eater and the Pathfinder of the Path of Preservation. You have to fight two waves of enemies. In the first wave there will be 2 stealth killers with physical and imaginary vulnerabilities and 2 with fire, ice and quantum. Keep in mind that from the very beginning of the fight, Bailu will be the target of all opponents, so use the Pathfinder skill to protect her.

In the second wave, Jing Yuan will join your squad with a charged ult that you can immediately use. This time, among your enemies will be 3 killers with physical and imaginary vulnerabilities and 1 with fire, ice and quantum. They will be joined by a boss with ice, wind and imaginary vulnerabilities. Bailu will still be the target of all your enemies. We advise you to direct all the damage to the boss: he has the ability to summon other assassins, so it is useless to attack them.

After the battle, talk to Bailu.

When the test is complete, talk to Jing Yuan. The general will offer Dan Heng to stay on Lofu - regardless of your answer, the guy will refuse. On this quest will be considered completed.
