Pickups and loot
Pangzhen's four treasures
No region in Zhang’s questline has more to collect than Pangzhen: the Tiger Paperweight, Ink Stick, Carved-Edge Inkstone and Jade Brush Rest.
After you have gathered the four, come back and Zhang hands over Goldblaze. This weapon fires at range, and with its upgrades you can shoot while you move or dodge.
- Tiger Paperweight: a chest on Tianxiang Pavilion's upper second floor holds it. The Pavilion is locked, near Myst’s Tavern, so complete The Star Performer to be given the Pavilion Key beforehand.
- Ink Stick: a small house stands past the arena of Wu Xuan, marked by two red lanterns flanking its entrance.
- Carved-Edge Inkstone: inside a house by the Narrow Alley Residence 2nd Floor Bell, which you reach by crossing the canal on a zipline. A Memory Flower is kept in the same house.
- Jade Brush Rest: up on the rooftops by the Marketplace Bell. South of that bell, a round archway is blocked by fire; You Loong’s Deluge, dropped by You Loong, an optional boss, is what puts it out.
Routes and movement
Finding the entrance
Close to the arena of the Wu Xuan, the Fallen General fight lies Zhang’s Pangzhen hideout, and beating the general makes the way open. Leaving the arena, enter the building to the right and exit through its rear; a second building straight ahead contains the bell. An alternative path goes north to the neighbouring house, ascends to the rooftops, crosses over to a different building and lights the bell inside. Starting from the bell, either look for the ladder or jump down the hole to arrive at Quick Hand Zhang's place underground.
