Pickups and loot
Those three treasures
Zhang wants three treasures from Meigu Lake. Gather every one, go back to his hideout, and hand them over.
Entering the Phantom Illusionist Ruins
Secrets at the Heart of the Lake leads to these ruins, a concealed dungeon. Begin by obtaining all four Acolyte masks, and then use the Four Guardians' Mirror in the lake's frozen northwest. Do this ahead of any attempt to finish Zhang's Meigu Lake collection.
| Treasure | Where |
|---|---|
| Blue Blossom Compass | Blackwater Crew Dock, on its northern island. Once the region's chief boss is dead, ride the zipline out of the eastern buildings around the arena toward the distant east side, then open the green chest close to where you touch down. |
| Blight Astrolabe | Phantom Illusionist Ruins. Wooden planks lead down to a lower floor, but climb the chain instead; the upper route then brings you to the green chest beside the sheer drop. |
| Sundial of Impermanence | Phantom Illusionist Ruins, beyond the fifth bell and close to the helm of the wrecked ship. Between a pair of staircases stands the green chest. |
Reward
Turning in all three treasures earns the Sha-Chi Blood Catalyst. Sha-Chi combo damage goes up and health is recovered, though your character is also set alight.
