Red Serpent House at a Glance
- Bell point: unlock the Forest Outpost Courtyard and the Red Serpent House Bell is right there in front of you.
- Courtyard key: a building to the left, reached after exiting the cave beyond Quick Hand Zhang's shop, contains the Forest Outpost Courtyard Key.
- Return trip: use Flaming Mane to burn the branches that block the building, then go in.
- Inside prizes: Loong Emblem (Yin) lies straight ahead, and the Serpent Rattle: Red, which doubles as the Red Serpent Tongue, is to the left.
- Where next: the Cliff of Longing Bell sits further up the hill.
Overview
Within Crimson Forest, Red Serpent House is a structure that has a bell point of its own. The bell is the first thing you reach as you cross the region, after the Forest Outpost Courtyard is opened, whereas the house remains shut off by flammable branches until you come back holding the proper Phantom Edge.

Closer look
Coming back with Flaming Mane
Light up the branches before the house using Flaming Mane and walk in. Loong Emblem (Yin), a key item, sits straight ahead; to the immediate left is Serpent Rattle: Red, another key item, which goes by Red Serpent Tongue as well.
Part of what the main quest The Four Serpent Houses demands is the Red Serpent Tongue. More pieces must be fetched from the White and Black Serpent House areas, which lie elsewhere, and combined they unlock the back door of the Green Serpent House in Pangzhen.
Recommended paths
Initial trip
After exiting the cave past Quick Hand Zhang's shop, go up the stairs and into the left-hand building to pick up the Forest Outpost Courtyard Key. Another building close by contains a chest holding a Blackstone Fragment. When the courtyard has been opened, the Red Serpent House Bell stands straight in front.
Beginning at the bell, sprint uphill and carry on up the stairs. Straight ahead, the wall provides the path to the Cliff of Longing Bell.
