Completing the quest “Hidden Valley, Secret Hero”
How to start the task
It starts automatically as soon as you complete the previous mission of this implicit chain – “Ancient Scrolls and the Art of the Sword of Guhua”, where you examined the library. Just look in your quest log. If the task does not appear, try logging out of your account, wait 20-30 minutes and re-login.
How to explore the mechanism and complete the test
After solving the puzzle in the library, the water level will drop and you will be able to go further into the temple complex. Go down the stairs, open the precious chest and continue down the steps. Activate the teleport and enter the large spacious hall.
After talking with Paimon, go to the center of the arena and study the inscriptions on the stone. If you click on the “Touch the tablet” response, a combat test will begin, where you will have to fight four waves of enemies:
- Hydro Slime.
- Mitachurl and Hilichurl
- Hydro Slime.
- Mitachurl and Hilichurl
- Hydro Shamachurls and Anemo Hilichurl Rogue
- Geovishaps
Considering the latest enemies, we do not advise you to use physical. packs or Geo damage dealers, since Geovishaps are highly resistant to these types of damage. Take your most pumped up fighters and a good shield/healer. When you fight the Hilichurls, take out the Hydro Shamans first, as they will constantly heal their allies.
From time to time, red lines will appear in the arena, indicating that water blades will soon appear – immediately leave the affected area to avoid taking damage. A simple jerk to the side should be enough. True, in the heat of battle this can be problematic, so try to maintain a shield on the active hero or heal him in time.
Note: After the battle south of the arena, you can pick up a Dark Iron Sword (3 stars) from a regular chest. Its exact location is shown in the pictures below.
How to Find the Ancient Sword
After completing the challenge, you will receive a luxury chest and can continue on your way as the water level will drop again. Run forward through the tunnel until you see a sword stuck in a stone ahead.
Approach the blade and examine it. Chat with Paimon again. This will complete the task. As a reward, you will receive 200 adventure points, 30 primogems and 35 thousand mora, and will also unlock the “Highest Secret” achievement.
< p>Read “Records of the Ancient Swordsman I” to make a pile of stones appear nearby – study them to receive 10 thousand mora. Now you can try to unlock the “True Mastery of the Spear and Sword” achievement by completing the tests in the main hall and find the five lost Guhua swords.
