The Lady’s Shrine at a Glance
- Bosses (two): defeating Jade-Face yields the Seamless Death main weapon, while Huangxing leaves behind the Flying Guillotine Phantom Edge.
- Phantom Edge: Inanis’ Radiant Fan comes once Whence the Weeping is completed after beating Huangxing.
- Accessories: you pass both Crude Radiant Heart and Desperate Stand en route.
- Secret path: using the Flying Guillotine in Huangxing’s arena opens a passage that leads down into Puppet Cell.
- Shrine Outer Gate: this area ahead of the shrine has a bell of its own, one boss and a handful of quests.
Overview
Closing out Mountain of Imprisonment, The Lady’s Shrine contains both of the region's final bosses, Jade-Face and Huangxing, the Kunlun Renegade, plus a concealed way down toward Puppet Cell. Players get here via the Shrine Outer Gate, an earlier bell point that works as its outer approach.

Closer look
Shrine Outer Gate
This gate area leads up to the shrine. Right beside its bell, on a corpse inside the cave, lies a Memory Flower. A number of events take place in the area.
| Name | Details |
|---|---|
| Kui Yanyan, the Deranged | A Maskwalker boss carrying 8,000 HP. Beating it yields the Missing Lift Crank and a Sha-Chi Amber Fragment. The crank powers the lift and elevator at Cavern Passage and is required for Hero’s Lament. |
| Lu Sanqian | Ascend the high ladder and pull the levers to release him, then hand over Rootless Dew. The third lever brings his cage down. |
| Ledger of Atonement | Search the caves under the gate: drop down, then hug the left wall. Where an enemy calls wolves, head right to find the ledger. |
| Shrine Gate Key | Kill the three masked foes at the camp on the ravine floor. |
| Zhou Ping | Look over the dead body lying in a northeasterly direction from where Kui Yanyan is fought, which moves Don’t Forget Me forward. |
| Banyan Tree | A trial area is reached by going through the door that is locked, then over the timber bridge. Several waves of foes arrive first, followed by a second bout with Iron Butcher, the Frenzied Brute, and Jagged Steel, the Frenzied Brute. |
Nearing the Shrine
Past the Banyan Tree, clear out the enemies along the trail and pick up a Blackstone Fragment. Climb the steps and Lu Sanqian lies on the ground, provided his earlier objectives are complete. Speaking to him hands you the Crude Radiant Heart accessory, which pays out the Cui tale. He also supplies Cui’s Red Ribbon, located shortly before the shrine bell. The Lady’s Shrine Bell is next to him.
Huangxing, Kunlun Renegade
As the region's main boss, Huangxing is fought in two phases. His first form has 9,000 HP, and the second, Huangxing, the Whirling Executioner, has 10,000 HP. Victory awards the Flying Guillotine Phantom Edge and finishes Whence the Weeping. Huangxing himself carries a Memory Flower.
Once the Battle Ends
- Aim the Flying Guillotine at the mechanism within the arena, and the concealed passage opens.
- Fall the entire distance. A cutscene plays, after which Inanis’ Radiant Fan is yours.
- Exit via the portal. Right in front of you is the Puppet Cell bell.
