in this episode i show short walkthrough in which you are taught how to forge the critical lustered gem weapons in hepu manor(hero adventures collab dlc)! More Wandering Sword videos are coming soon! Subscribe for Wandering Sword guides, gameplay, tips, and community content!

there is a lot of mixed or outdated info out there about what to do and when in the game when you have all the dlcs. one major advice is to have the maximum number of companions before you start a major dlc part with a lot of battles so that you will enjoy the priveledge of simultaneously leveling up all the characters and at the same time unlock all the lore,dialogue and events that these characters provide! let's brake it through what you need to do step by step (just check the bold numbers the rest started appearing after a while for unknown reason and cant be deleted, for example it is just 2 step not 1.2 step) :

1. Main Story Progression, Early Game:

• join wudang as this is a prerequisite for recruiting Lu Xianer
• Progress through the main story until you have recruited A. Bai Jin B. Shangguan Hong C. Sima Ling (companion quests included)
• Do not visit Gusu early to avoid getting the old quest of Lu Xianer instead of the new one from HAC (hero adventure collaboration dlc)
• visit Tianjian and shaoling sects to get as much arts as you can through sparring

1. 2. Start HAC – Part 1 (this has to be completed before the battle with Tianlong gang)

• go south of wudang to trigger an event with merchants pointing you to beggar outside gusu (you souldnt have visited gusu before as stated above)
• go to chenghuang temple to do the old monkey quest (you need 100 sword mastery before that so work youself out)
• go to gusu to progress the quest then to wutong village then liushan school then south of liushan to unlock the Hepu Jade manor and finish HAC part 1

1. 3. Start SES-part 1 (southern eastern seas dlc)

• go again outside of wudang to trigger another event with merchants pointing you to pingkang city and the pearl
• go to the center of pingkang city to trigger the event with Bu wuyie
• craft the fan weapon yourself and progress the quest
• make sure you did the old monkey quest as stated above last warning
• go to immortal crossing, progress, set sail!
• very important just do the following: go to immortal's village (i mean it just the village not the rest of the island!) and talk to inhabitants to get some initial quests
• sail again north and then east to nameless island (do not visit other islands or go south to other parts of sea) to start collecting materials and lore of your new companions. activate the quick travel to nameless island so that whenever you get a new character you can come here, wander to all parts of the island and trigger cutscenes with your companions

1. 4. Resume Main Story + Companion Recruitment (from all be sure to recruit Ye fei, Lenq wuqing, Li Yuanxing, Yan Weihuan)
2. 5. Start SC (southern chronicles dlc)

• there are 3 paths. for first playthrough pick Herbal Saint path but dont heal Lenq Wuqing immediately. Save your first heal for wudang's moli later in the game
• recruit Gu Siqui you can't miss him don't worry though he is in bramble forest
• finish Pili school turmoil quest (yes you can do that don't mind on being locked out)
• recruit Yia Vang
• continue main quest, go to western regions banquet and when you return to wudang go to the north mountain sectors of wudang sect to trigger an event about moli and then go to bamboo sea to kidnap doctor Shang! but dont go to heal moli yet!surprise! you are going to take the kidnapped doctor to western war regions and then to eastern seas lol!
• continue the four martial arts quest of Lu Xianer
• go to sweetspring village to do the sweet and bitter springs quest to recruit A.Frosty condor and B. Di Zuii

1. 6. Start HAC -part 2 on your second visit on hepu manor
2. 7. Finally you can jump on the boat and do SES - part 2 with all these characters you got
3. 8. You can finally do trip to Nanjiang quest. if you get to this quest before the above 7 you will lock out stuff
