Closer look
Meigu Village East Dock
Most of what this village has to offer lies on the island with the East Dock.
Bitter Kin and Kin Against Kin
A northern-edge building, reached by heading east from the bell, houses the Memory Flower Bitter Kin, 2. The Wrong Path. Collect it to complete the side tale Kin Against Kin and receive the medicine Longevity Tonic.
Acolyte Guhe at the scarecrow
Look for the scarecrow on the island's far east side. Use it to take on Acolyte Guhe, one of the four Acolyte bosses with masks that the quest Secrets at the Heart of the Lake needs. The mask he leaves is Guhe's Venom Mask. Nothing forces this fight, yet it counts toward the True Ending route.
In and around the central building
| Name | Details |
|---|---|
| Remnant Spark Cube Fragment | Mortise: inside the central building, one floor up from the bottom, at mid-level. |
| Red-Cloth Door Key: lying on the upper level below the locked door, past a corner by a dead woman clad in red. With it you can open the door at the area's middle. | |
| Sha-Chi Amber Fragment | central part of the area, below the locked door. Beating the cluster of fish enemies hands it over. |
| Blackstone Fragment | beyond the door you open with the key, inside a chest out on the balcony. |
Blackwater Crew plus Deathlock
| Name | Details |
|---|---|
| Memory Flower | Memory Flower of Blackwater Crew, 4. Fishing on Dry Land: a wooden platform east of the bell, northeast of which stands the scarecrow. |
| Deathlock (accessory) | east of the bell, set the bramble alight, use the statue, opt to put the item in the Preservation Jar, then collect whatever shows up. |
Meigu Village West Dock
| Name | Details |
|---|---|
| Memory Flower | Memory Flower of Blackwater Crew, 1. Fishing: located in the deck platform's second building, to the east of the bell. |
| Zhang's hideout | on the island's rim, northeast from the bell. Consult Zhang's Hideout (Meigu Village) for specifics. |
| Everlasting Flame (tempering material for a Phantom Edge) | walk due west from the bell until you reach a gap in the cliffs where crows circle, then grab it from the little patch of ground. |
| War Wagon (Phantom Edge) | sail northwest to the bell at Frozen Lake Dock. Old Man Gen turns up there and hands it over if The Journey Home is done. You can then take his Memory Flower from next to his body. |
