The Confinement at a Glance
- Bell point: Walk the cliff ridge away from the Path of the Baishan's Fall to a platform; the Confinement Bell stands at its far end.
- Boss: You face Wu Lengshuang, the Soft Sword here; the victory yields the Soft Snake Sword plus a Blackstone Fragment.
- Guardian Idol: the Leg fragment is next to the tree inside the boss arena.
- Tale step: after the battle, ascend the stairs and examine the body among the flowers. Skipping it fails the tale if Secrets of the Baishan Sect was taken in Crimson Forest.
Overview
Found where the cliff ridge ends in Mandate Encampment, the Confinement is a prison zone. A platform's far end holds its bell, and next to it lies the arena for the Wu Lengshuang, the Soft Sword duel.

Foes and fights
Wu Lengshuang, the Soft Sword
Base HP stands at 9,000, with neither elemental weaknesses nor resistances. Killing her rewards you with the Soft Snake Sword along with a Blackstone Fragment.
Once the Battle Ends:
- Beside the arena's tree lies the Guardian Idol Fragment: Leg for you to take. Four parts in total, once assembled, make up an accessory named Guardian Idol.
- Ascend to the top, then examine the corpse resting in the flower field. This counts as the Secrets of the Baishan Sect objective whenever you took that tale on in Crimson Forest, and you must complete it prior to killing Yubi.
- Proceed ahead to Behind the Encampment Waterfall.
Routes and movement
How to reach it
From the Memory Flower watched over by the hostile NPC past the Path of the Baishan's Fall, carry on along the cliff ridge. At the platform's end you will find the bell. Close to The Confinement sits a Memory Flower belonging to one of the Mandate Leaders, gathered for a side tale.
