GUIDE / BOSS
Heartpiercer boss guide
Heartpiercer, Elite Shadow Warden, guards the courtyard of the White Serpent House in Meigu Lake. Game8 and All Things How treat him as part of the main story: the White Serpent Eye for The Four Serpent Houses is past his arena.
Open the Loong-lock door at the White Serpent House
Community-reportedLand at the White Serpent House Dock bell and climb through the bamboo yard and front hall to the White Serpent House bell, in a dark hall with red candles. The carved lattice door beside it needs the Loong Emblem; he crouches in the courtyard behind it. All Things How says the emblem is assembled from pieces found at the Black Serpent House in Village of Lu and the Red Serpent House in Crimson Forest.

Sundering Dual Axes and the White Serpent Eye
