GUIDE / PROGRESSION
Banyan Heart location and Crimson Forest trial
The first reported Banyan Heart comes from a combat trial near the Parting Mists bell in Crimson Forest. It is a skill-unlock material; finding the tree alone does not award the heart.
Enter the tree near Parting Mists
Community-reportedAfter Iron Fever, reach Parting Mists. Drop down and cross to the island directly ahead, then interact with the tree to enter its trial. PC Gamer identifies this as the first heart location.

Complete the trial and handle Jing Ye
Community-reportedThe report describes three waves ending with Jing Ye, and completed stages persisting after a death. Its author recommends drawing him away from the other enemies, dodging the bleed projectiles and using Dread Axe against his shield. This is attributed player advice, not a Kingy-tested method.
If the last wave stops you
Editorial guidanceFor practice, make the next attempt about separating the enemies before chasing damage. If the projectile still catches you, change your position rather than assuming a held guard prevents the status buildup. This is editorial advice based on that report, not a tested build or guaranteed counter.
Use the heart and plan later searches
Community-reportedThe heart unlocks skills including Quick Remedy, Opening Strike and Fluid Form Level 2. Later reported trees are in Pangzhen, Mandate Encampment, Meigu Lake and Mountain of Imprisonment. Those are region leads, not verified turn-by-turn collection routes. Check the ability menu before spending a heart.
