GUIDE / SIDE QUEST
Young Mistress quest: five headbands and the lift
Collect Young Mistress’s five headbands, also called ribbons in walkthroughs, before taking the lift to Mu Xiaokui. PowerPyx and KeenGamer report that completing the tale changes the encounter and available rewards. Kingy has not tested the exact cutoff on a documented build.
Begin at the tree beyond Zhuo Bi
Community-reportedAfter the Gatekeeper, continue through the arena’s forward gate and interact with the headband tied to the tree by the bridge. That begins Young Mistress. It is the first of the five landmarks below, not an additional sixth objective.
All five reported headband landmarks
Community-reportedPowerPyx labels the starting pickup as the tale and the later four as objectives. Use the landmarks and your quest journal rather than assuming those objective labels are the collection count.
- 1. Tree beyond Zhuo Bi
Interact with the headband on the route from the boss gate toward the well.

Check the tree beside the temple bell.
- 3. Covered Bridge
Clear the route to the bridge and inspect the post halfway across it.
- 4. The Lady Grounds
After Master Bi Yuan, interact with the crane bell in his arena for the headband step.

Check the journal before the Lakeside lift
Community-reportedReturn to any missing landmark before taking the lift beside Puppet Testing Grounds. The reports associate a completed Young Mistress tale with an additional guardian encounter and Fiend Saws/Fist Fragment: Core rewards. This is a reported prerequisite, not a Kingy-tested guarantee that every patch uses an identical cutoff.
Recognize the guardian encounter
Community-reportedPowerPyx’s later fight excerpt has a Jade Dancer, Young Mistress’s Guardian name bar. It shows the encounter mentioned in the route reports. It does not show all five collection actions or prove that a particular pickup caused the unlock.

The name bar reads Jade Dancer, Young Mistress’s Guardian. The recording demonstrates that encounter; it does not by itself show which quest actions unlocked it.

Keep Cui’s Red Ribbon separate
Community-reportedCui’s Red Ribbon is a story item received from the crying puppet child after Yuzan. It is not a substitute for one of Young Mistress’s five headbands. Check the tale name and the bridge pickup if you are missing the underground step.
Inspect the dock before leaving
Community-reportedAfter Mu Xiaokui, PowerPyx warns to collect Wild Oriole Sword on the dock and the Sha-Chi Amber Fragment from the chest by the tree before leaving. Those pickups are separate from the quest-dependent boss rewards. Exact return restrictions remain untested by Kingy.
