Zhang’s Hideout (Mirage Estate) at a Glance
- Last hideout: of Zhang's dens this is number five and the final one, so his entire questline ends here after the treasures of every region have been handed back.
- Beginning and end: you meet Zhang in the cave beyond the bell to get the estate's list, and you come back to the same spot to deliver the items.
- Treasures, three in number: the General's Bronze Mirror, the Gold-and-Silver Sachet and the Golden Cloud-Moon Hairpin.
- Prize: on delivering the items found around the estate, you are given an accessory, the Thundermoon Lantern.
- Chest you can miss: the Gold-and-Silver Sachet is in the Opera House, and since that place may become locked once the opera scenes are over, grab it the first time around.
Overview
Of Quick Hand Zhang's five dens, the one in the Mirage Estate comes last, and his hunt for treasure finishes here. Zhang is in a cave past the bell; when you give him the three treasures of the estate, Quick Hand's Request is complete.

Closer look
Locating the hideout
A side branch off the main route leads to the hideout. Where the road through the estate forks, the path on the right goes toward a flooded section, so stay out of it. Go left, spot the big staircase with fire blazing on each side, and keep climbing along the passage beyond it. Zhang is in the cave past the hideout's bell.
Speaking with Zhang in this den hands you the estate's item list. After you have called on him in each hideout, he further rewards you with Maintenance Oil, a tempering material for the Phantom Edge.
Pickups and loot
Those three treasures
Following the estate's main progression brings you to each of the three treasures, and the Opera Ticket is required for one of them.
Pick up the Sachet during your first trip through the Opera House. After you sit through the opera and exit on the far side, the main gate seals itself again, and you cannot return.
| Treasure | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| General's Bronze Mirror | Training Grounds. When the Yuding battle ends, dispatch the wave of foes in the open arena and step into the large northern building. Go right at the door; the green chest waits in the eastern ground-floor room. |
| Gold-and-Silver Sachet | Opera House. Use the Opera Ticket on the entrance marked with a big monster's head, and the green chest is in the building that sits right on your left once inside. |
| Golden Cloud-Moon Hairpin | Perfect Vessel Estate. After Leng Tu's Study, look for the big statue wrapped in red ropes; the green chest is behind it. |
Handing over the items
Once all three are in your hands, go back to Zhang. He presents the Thundermoon Lantern, and with that the questline is over. That covers just the last stage, because to complete all of his requests you must also have delivered the treasures of the four previous regions.
