Kaifeng is the second main area to reach in Where Winds Meet, but getting to the place can be quite confusing.
For starters, you’ll have to complete a fair amount of quests in Quinghe. However, you’ll also have to focus on specific quests to gain access quickly. Unless you get the order correct, you’ll be teleported back to Qinghe as soon as you try to cross.
This guide will enlighten you about what needs to be done so that you can gain access and complete missions in the Kaifeng region of Where Winds Meet.
How to access Kaifeng in Where Winds Meet
Reaching Kaifeng requires you to complete the For Whom Does He Return segment. You can find it under Chapter One – Heaven Has No Pier. This quest will take a fair amount of time (will vary based on your in-game difficulty). Once you have managed to defeat the easier enemies, you’ll have to defeat Qianye, the Witch Queen.
How to defeat Qianye in Where Winds Meet
While I have been playing on the easiest difficulty, Qianye was a nightmare. You’ll not only have to ace your defensive play, but you’ll also have to heal yourself regularly. Qianye’s main weapon is her massive scythe, which can do a massive amount of damage.
The first phase of her fight is simple: just avoid the Scythe as much as possible. It’s the second phase that is really difficult. Here are my general tips about what you should do to ace the Qianye fight.
- Get as many character upgrades as possible since higher stats will be advantageous.
- Upgrade your gear as much as possible.
- Stock healing items before starting the battle.
- Parrying will be key, so mastering the defensive maneuver is key.
- Melodies of Peace passive from Qi Sheng will get you bonus stats (and make the battle swing in your favor).
Once you defeat Qianye, go to the dockmaster near Harvestfall. You’ll be taken to Kaifeng, where you can continue your journey. Do note that you’ll need to be level 32 or higher (aside from completing the Chapter One questline).
