Early-game tips
- Upgrade one main weapon rather than spreading materials. The Reforging Talisman refunds them later if you switch.
- Hua is optional and hard. If she walls you, come back after a few upgrades; nothing locks you out.
- Rest at bells often. They refill your healing and act as fast-travel points.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I get the Scarlet Wraithblade?＋
Beat Hua, Deadly Betrothed. She's a secret boss at the bottom of the first Sha-Chi tower in Weeping Creek Valley. See the Hua boss guide.
Should I use a shield-breaker early?＋
Yes, as your second main weapon. Light blades bounce off shields, and fists or hammers break them.
