Key points

At a glance

  • Her location. Reaching the six Memory Flowers, which drift close to the Meigu Songhouse in Meigu Lake's southeast, takes a boat.
  • What they trigger. Grabbing a single flower kicks off Allure of Vanity and shows the other flowers on the map.
  • What they open up. When all six have been collected, a fight with Yan Qiansui becomes available at the songhouse, and her Illusory Pipa strings complete the Illusory Pipa.
Non-player character

Overview

Yan'er lives around Meigu Lake, and players learn about her through her memories, not by meeting her directly.

Six Memory Flowers, floating on the water close to the Meigu Songhouse Dock, hold her memories. Every flower has a separate title: Allure of Vanity, Bloodline, Into the Lake, Yan Qiansui, The Offering and All Has Changed.

Allure of Vanity, the side tale these flowers open, ranks among the quests the True Ending demands.

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find Yan'er's Memory Flowers?

They float on the water surrounding Meigu Songhouse Dock, southeast of Meigu Lake. Sail to the dock, pick up the first flower to begin Allure of Vanity, and the remaining five show up on your map.

What follows once all six are collected?

Go back to the Meigu Songhouse Dock, where you can fight Yan Qiansui, the Zither Maiden. Beating her earns the Illusory Pipa strings.
