Pangzhen Sha-Chi Tower at a Glance
- Boss: Zhu Yuan, the Searing Blade, is found at the tower's lowest point. Skipping him is allowed, but the true ending needs him.
- Reward: dropped by Zhu Yuan is Scorching Flames, which serves as Soul Tempering material when upgrading Sanguine Reach.
- Tale: another visit is needed for A Severed Mindseal, which begins at the furnace-side Primal Stone device and finishes atop the summit.
- Bells: six points spread over the dock, the passages, the furnace and the summit.
Overview
Pangzhen Sha-Chi Tower is a structure by the Meigu Lake waterside, to the north of Pangzhen. Zhu Yuan, a boss you may skip, lurks at its foot, whereas a Shadow Warden dwelling on the upper levels and the top is in need of help during A Severed Mindseal.

Closer look
Zhu Yuan, the Searing Blade
Beside the Furnace bell, at the tower's base, Zhu Yuan keeps watch. Scorching Flames is his reward. Together with Commander Bi Feng he makes up the Two Blade Masters Bronze trophy, and defeating both is a requirement for the true ending.
Two components are required to turn Sanguine Reach into Blazing Edge by Soul Tempering; Scorching Flames is one, while the east Meigu Lake area's third Long Pillar supplies its counterpart.
A Severed Mindseal
Weeping Creek Valley is where the tale begins, with the first Primal Stone handed to a Shadow Warden. The tower hosts its second stage.
- Get to the Lower Exterior bell, then walk around the tower to the platform's crank.
- Pull the Primal Stone out of the mechanism in the furnace.
- Scale the tower, then pass the stone along to the Shadow Warden who stands friendly near the Summit bell.

Routes and movement
How to reach it
Enter Meigu Lake via north Pangzhen and keep heading north along the shoreline. A barrier stands in front of the lift down to the tower base; destroy it by detonating an exploding enemy beside it, just like the method for getting into the Crimson Manor area.

Meigu Lake
Northward from Pangzhen spreads this lake of islands, which you sail with a Sha-Chi-powered boat. On it are White Serpent House, a trio of optional bosses, a pair of Lóng Pillars, a mirror concealing a secret realm, and the way to the Mountain of Imprisonment.

Can Zhu Yuan be lost for good?
He is not mandatory, yet the true ending depends on him; kill him before you get beyond the Last Chance bell.
Does this match the Sha-Chi Tower in Weeping Creek Valley?
It doesn't. The Valley Sha-Chi Tower stands apart, although A Severed Mindseal ties the pair together.
