- For the sparring challenge in the forest, speak to Jade Dancer, Young Mistress's Guardian beside the tower. Equip FIEND SAWS and IRON GAUNTLETS, then choose to start sparring. You will be teleported into a fight against both guards. From the sixth-floor bell ①, follow the same level for about 20 m to ②. Turn toward the locked door ③, about 43 m from the bell. You need CRIMSON FOREST SHA-CHI TOWER KEY ×1. The purple arrow marks a lift to the lower floors, not to the roof. After opening ③, follow the lower map to the stairs at A. Climb the first flight to landing B, turn toward the bottom left of the map and climb the second flight. At the top tread C, keep facing the way you climbed and walk about 2 m onto the boards at D. No jump is needed. At D, head toward the top of the map, then follow the boards to the right around to eave P. Drop outward onto board Q, about 1.1 m below. Follow the blue route around the outside of the tower; round the two bends and follow the rising walkway to platform E. Face the lion-head chain above. When the interaction prompt appears, use HUNTER'S CHAIN SICKLE to cross to F. From the landing, follow the platform uphill about 9 m to Tie Gui ④. Once on the roof, walk about 4 m across the platform from Tie Gui ④ to Yuu ⑤ and speak to her to spar.
- One combo continues after the blue strike. Perfect-block it, then read the next hit before countering. Dodge the red flash and close in after the strike misses.
- Perfect-block blue-flash attacks, but do not assume the blue strike ends the combo. One of Jade Dancer, Young Mistress's Guardian’s combos continues attacking after the blue strike. Wait for her recovery before counterattacking.
- Dodge red-flash combo finishers; they cannot be blocked. Keep the other guard in view so that dodging Jade Dancer, Young Mistress's Guardian does not carry you into his attack.
- Defeat both guards to complete the forest challenge. Finish the dialogue after returning to receive Heel Reinforcement Part ×1 directly. This reward is not a ground pickup and this challenge does not first award FIEND SAWS.
- In the village’s hidden branch, finish the final phase and the ending scene to receive FIEND SAWS and FIST FRAGMENT: CORE directly. Do not leave immediately after defeating the guards.
Structured relationships
Related content · quantity 1 / Related content · quantity 1 · A woman of a cold face. A Fiend Saw long-blade under each foot; she drives the twin blades with supple legs, her movement like lightning, her cuts unmatched. Together with Iron Fiend she trains the Young Mistress Mu Xiaokui and serves as guard; they work as one. Jade Dancer was an orphan, saved by the Shadow Sovereign in a moment of peril. Later young Mu Xiaokui called her "Sister," saying she would be her family—and something tender took root in this woman who had always kept her heart cold. The duty of a bodyguard soon became a care and loyalty that came from the bone. On the training ground she is iron with the Young Mistress; off it, she patiently teaches her to press the right points, easing the ache in her ankles. Every gift from the Young Mistress she keeps in silence. The days she has spent at the Young Mistress's side may even outlast those of the Shadow Sovereign himself. After old Sovereign Mu passed, undercurrents rose in the Order, and the Wulin too was full of sudden turns. No one knows better than Jade Dancer how heavy a load sits on the Young Mistress's shoulders. And more than the Order's fortunes, she fears for the Young Mistress's life.
