The bottom option, of course, makes Bladed Thesis hostile, and we don't want that either. I have never done this quest before or even seen it, so I'm kind of winging it here. While I do like how Bladed Thesis is taken aback by that, picking the "best" option causes the test to be skipped entirely, and since the test is the most interesting part of this quest we shall pretend that never happened and pick the middle option instead. I grant you the chance to carry out my wishes. I thought to test you, but you need no trial. If you have enough Closed Fist points, this option appears. We shall see what kind of test he has prepared for us. This ghostly fellow is none other than Bladed Thesis himself. (I tried to make a GIF but Gooncam was having some issues with my desktop scaling) Here's a slightly better shot of your shadow growing these writhing tentacles at full Closed Fist. That guy was not there the last time we went to the spirit font, so we must be in the right place. That's actually slightly disappointing, as I was hoping to show off some of Wei Shen's kung fu. What did he say? A structure near the river, "Where wood met water and rock?" Well, we're certainly near the river, and I think we might be able to figure out the rest. We're heading right back to the Great Southern Forest. It has five strings instead of seven, and each is fashioned from unbreakable silk. The Either of Discord is as unique as it is ancient, however. This may or may not be relevant once we reach that test that was mentioned. At least not in the way it was originally intended, before it became Literally Kicks Puppies (seriously, that's a thing you can do at full Closed Fist). See, Scholar Six Heavens is like a BioWare writer in that he doesn't understand Closed Fist at all. I thought it would be pointless to ask about the Way of the Closed Fist since we obviously *cough* know all about it, but actually that would've been a good idea. Bladed Thesis would not let his instrument fall into anyone else's hands.Ĭan I ask you more details about this Zither of Discord?Īs I said, it was an instrument that belonged to Bladed Thesis, the scholar who first advanced the Way of the Closed Fist as a philosophy. I expect the test to measure your conviction to the ideals of the Way of the Closed Fist. There must be some structure that allowed him to stay there for some time. I suspect the reward is the final piece to his famous Zither of Discord.įrom studying the full text, it seems that it would be near a river in the Great Southern Forest. In his last work, Bladed Thesis wrote of the "final test," and it taking place where "wood met water and rock." The work talks of a test for followers of his philosophies. If we can recover the last part of this zither, the bridge that would lift the strings off the case, then I will double the silver I was going to give you. Since you have proven capable so far, I'd like you to acquire one more part. The bridge is missing, as I thought it would be. You may remember we picked up both of those items around Tien's Landing, so let's just present them to Six Heavens. Bring them to me, and we will silence all who refuse to honor my work! Find the zither's case and its silk strings. This zither is a link to one of history's greatest minds. I seek the Zither of Discord, an artifact that belonged to Bladed Thesis, the sage who first advanced the Way of the Closed Fist as a philosophy. How do you do, fellow Closed Fist follower? He has no time for Open Palm bullshit so Wu wouldn't have much luck talking to him, but Wei should be fine with all his undercover experience. Here's Scholar Six Heavens, the man we need to chat with to start today's quest. I think he's actually at level 12 or 13 at this point. This screenshot was taken long before I recorded the actual update (when I was just testing out the save editor), so Wei's level is lower here than it is in the rest of the update. I chose to give his name to the Furious Ming character here because I'm a giant nerd. Wei is an undercover cop with a history of "extreme behavior" (as his HKPD file puts it), which often involves shoving people's faces into cooling fans and the like. Wei Shen, if you're unaware, is the protagonist of Sleeping Dogs. Of course, just having Wu do this would be silly, so today's episode has a guest star. Well, actually there is one more thing - a quest that is unavailable to Open Palm goody two-shoes such as us, but can be shown off thanks to the magic of save editing. That means we're done with Tien's Landing, aside from one last round of camp conversations. Last time, we destroyed the Mother and her cannibal servants, removing the corruption from the Great Southern Forest. D.G.A.Part 20: Bonus 01: Zither of Discord Bonus 01: Zither of Discord
