Starting Early & NPC Death[]
Various NPCs may die before they are able to complete their piece in the story (such as 300+ days into the game) so it is recommended to start early if you are interested in completing it.
Requirements[]
Progressing through the story requires knowledge about this game's NPC conversation mechanic called the Social Minigame.
- The Social Minigame depends on Social skill levels (not ability rating).
- 14 Social at minimum, 17 Social to have a 100% success rate for specific options.
- No specific Charisma attribute value required.
- No Cultivator Level requirements other than having an Inner Disciple.
- Other general requirements will be listed here when they are learned.
- {todo: other requirements if any.}
Breaking Emotional Guard[]
See: Detailed section on breaking Emotional Guard
The "Secret" window refers to the menu window/interface/screen that opens when you click icon labeled "Secret" in the right icon bar.
Social Minigame Quick Notes[]
You should not ask an NPC directly about:
- Mystery
- Personality
- Weakness
Instead, you have to ask another NPC to learn this NPC's info.
You may want to make a log/notes about which NPCs you have talked about with each important NPC so that you don't make repeat inquiries.

- Play the Social Minigame with various NPCs at Evenfall Abode at Mt. Nelumbo to learn information about these specific NPCs to learn about their Personality (and Favorites or Weaknesses if needed) to learn how to break their Emotional Guard.
- The main goal is to learn the Mystery information of these NPCs if they have it.
- Doing so unlocks "Secret" or Clues in the Secret Window.
- NPCs other than those listed above may open these options up for these listed NPCs. You'll likely have to learn the personality and weakness of these NPCs as well however.
- At 60 favor, if you talk to these NPCs about the unknown Mystery info of an NPCs listed above, if they can open that option up, they will say something like "They don't want to talk about it" and reduce your favor.
