- "Shifu": The two remaining stone monkeys... I wonder when you'll figure them out.

First Clue Revealed
Special Event
First Clue Revealed
Story Description: Just when everyone was at a loss about solving the puzzle, Peregrine deduced a solution from the ancient texts he was reading. The group decided to seek out the mysterious bell hidden in the Hidden Realm.
- Ye Shunguang: Hmm... What exactly do the other two monkeys mean?
- "Shifu": There's no rush if you don't know where to start. The weather's nice today. Why not take a short break and play a few rounds of chess with me?
Xiao'Guang, what are you up to?- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Xiao'Guang, what are you up to?Xiao'Guang, what are you up to? /
What are you up to, Xiao'Guang?What are you up to, Xiao'Guang?) Still trying to crack the puzzle of this statue? - Ye Shunguang: You're here, Junior! To move forward, we have to get past this statue first... So I've just begun trying to figure out what it might mean.
- "Shifu": Just begun, huh? Does "just" mean six hours ago?
- Ye Shunguang: Shifu! I thought you agreed not to tell...!
- Let me help too.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Let me help! If the puzzle was really that easy to crack, you folks at Yunkui Summit would've figured out its purpose long ago.
- As soon as you finish speaking, a figure rushes into the temple main hall.
- Peregrine: I know what's going on... Everyone, I know how to solve this statue's puzzle now!
- Mr. Peregrine?!
- Did you spend the whole night studying it?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Mr. Peregrine?! (Judging from the dark circles under your eyes... Did you spend the whole night studying the puzzle?Judging from the dark circles under your eyes... Did you spend the whole night studying the puzzle? /
Those dark circles under your eyes... Don't tell me you pulled an all-nighter trying to solve the puzzle!Those dark circles under your eyes... Don't tell me you pulled an all-nighter trying to solve the puzzle!) - Peregrine: I just got caught up in the old texts and lost track of time until morning...
- Peregrine: Anyway, back to the point. I found this passage in the records of Yunkui Summit: Those who wield the Qingming Sword see the cause, hear the effect, and gather the heart that binds them.
- Peregrine: In a different book, I found text that says: The heavens shift in pursuit of cause; the earth rumbles in response to effect. All causes and effects align before the sword, and are drawn into one's heart.
- Peregrine: Shifu once mentioned that you saw changes in the weather before. Is that true?
- Ye Shunguang: Yeah... Sometimes, I just can't help stopping to watch when the weather changes. For some reason, it feels like I can sense the resolve of those who fought before us.
- Peregrine: I believe that's what it means by "the heavens shift in pursuit of cause." In the same vein, "the earth rumbles in response to effect" must be the next clue.
- Ye Shunguang: That makes sense! But is there any object that can make the ground rumble?
- A bell!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): A bell... come to think of it, there were bells in the previous two areas as well! They're probably the loudest things around here!
- Peregrine: Exactly. I searched every corner of this place. Those two bells fit the description perfectly. If I'm not mistaken, the next step of the puzzle will only be revealed after we ring the bells.
- "Shifu": You managed to figure all that out on your own? Interesting. Whether your theories are correct or not... I'll leave it to you to find out.
- Ye Shunguang: Huh? But I was just starting to get somewhere... We've already made so much progress.
- Ye Shunguang: ...Forget it, this isn't the time to complain! Let's go check those bells right away!
- Ye Shunguang: There's a bell to investigate in each of the two areas... Let's decide which side to check out first.
- The bell in Big Pan's area.
- The bell in Grim Tiger's area.
Big Pan's Area
- (While travelling)
- Ye Shunguang: There's still quite a distance to the bell... Let's be extra careful. There could be Ethereals along the way!
- (Interact with the Bianzhong)
- An ancient bronze bell stands quietly in the corner, so unassuming you might not even notice it's there.
Try tapping it.- Maybe later.
- (During combat)
- Ye Shunguang: What's happening...?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (The space around us is changing... I've never seen distortions like this before!The space around us is changing... I've never seen distortions like this before! /
The space around here is shifting... I've never seen anything like it...!The space around here is shifting... I've never seen anything like it...!) - Mercenary: Commander... are we really doing this? After all these years, Big Pan has saved us so many times...
- Mercenary Commander: I know that! But think carefully... this peaceful era has no place for someone like him.
- Mercenary Commander: His swordsmanship is on a completely different level... The higher-ups don't want him to become a problem later on.
- Mercenary Commander: You feel it too, right? Just imagine if one day he turned from ally to enemy... it would be terrifying...
- Mercenary: Even so, just leaving him in the Hollow like that feels so...
- Mercenary Commander: You really think someone as strong as him would die so easily? I've thought this through!
- Mercenary Commander: I feel bad too, of course... but if we want to keep our place in the newly built Eridu, we have to follow orders.
- Mercenary Commander: ...Next time there's a mission in the Hollow, you can be the one to tell him. Some people just aren't meant to stay allies forever.
- Mercenary: ...I understand. If it's for the future of the rest of the crew... then I'm sorry, Big Pan!
- (After defeating Miasmic - Thracian)
- Ye Shunguang: What we just heard was...
- Must be the history restored by the Qingming Sword...
- I'm afraid that's the end for Big Pan...
- Ye Shunguang: The ending... Is it about disappearing alone into the Hollow?
- Ye Shunguang: Let's... keep moving.
Grim Tiger's Area
- (While travelling)
- Ye Shunguang: There's still quite a distance to the bell... Let's be extra careful. There could be Ethereals along the way!
- (Interact with the Bianzhong)
- An ancient bronze bell stands quietly in the corner, so unassuming you might not even notice it's there.
- Try tapping it.
- Maybe later.
- (During combat)
- Ye Shunguang: What's happening...?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (The space around us is changing... I've never seen distortions like this before!The space around us is changing... I've never seen distortions like this before! /
The space around here is shifting... I've never seen anything like it...!The space around here is shifting... I've never seen anything like it...!) - Tiger Thiren: The Hollow's expanding faster than ever... Eridu's really gonna be destroyed...
- Tiger Thiren Elder: Disaster... the disaster's finally here! I told you... There's no chance of survival without using the Tigerbane Bell!
- Tiger Thiren: ...Shut your mouth! It's because we refused to use that thing that we've kept our pride and lived as a people till now!
- Tiger Thiren Elder: ...It's all pointless. We're going to die here anyway.
- Tiger Thiren Elder: ...But you're not wrong. All those years without using that cursed thing... weren't so bad in the end.
- Tiger Thiren Elder: What about Grim Tiger? Is she still alive?
- Tiger Thiren: She went running off with her sword to save people... Said she'd get our children out to safety, even if it cost her life.
- Tiger Thiren: So, in the end, we still can't overcome the Hollow with our training...
- Tiger Thiren: Guess I'll go join her and protect the children... They'll be our kin's hope...
- (After defeating Thanatos - Energized)
- Ye Shunguang: What we just heard was...
- I think it's the history restored by the Qingming Sword.
- Must be Grim Tiger's ending...
- Ye Shunguang: From what we just heard... this must've happened when the old capital fell.
- Ye Shunguang: I've got a lot to say... but let's focus on our next move for now.
