If you have just wrapped up Chapter 1 of Where Winds Meet (Heaven Has No Pier), you are probably still reeling from the narrative shifts. But before you sprint off into the vast expanse of Qinghe to tackle new world bosses or grind out your sect standing, there is a deeply personal, easily missed epilogue waiting for you.
The Her Legacy Encounter Quest (classified as a Lost Chapter) is a multi-step treasure hunt orchestrated by Ruby, the Red Heroine. It is a touching send-off that requires you to flex your fishing and archery skills across various landmarks before rewarding you with a hefty chunk of progression materials and a unique cosmetic.
If you are tired of wandering blindly trying to decipher hand-drawn maps, here is the tactical breakdown on how to complete the quest.

Step 1: Triggering the Quest (Heaven’s Pier)
To even see this quest, you must have completed the final Chapter 1 main story quest, For Whom Does He Return. Once that is done, fast travel back to Heaven’s Pier and head straight into the Brewery.
Ignore the NPCs and start checking the wooden shelves lined with wine jars. On the lowest shelf of the third rack from the right, you will find an interactable scroll: the Unsent Treasure Map. Picking this up officially adds the Her Legacy Encounter Quest to your log.
Step 2: The Fishing Contest (Peace Bell Tower)
Open your bag and read the map. It points to a small pond located west of the Brewery, near the Peace Bell Tower marker.
Pro Gamer Tip: Before you leave Heaven’s Pier, ensure you have a Fishing Rod and Bait. If you don’t, buy them from the local Peddler.
Head to the pond and speak to the Old Angler. He will challenge you to a fishing competition. When reeling in the fish, manage your tension gauge by tapping (not holding) the button to keep the marker in the green zone. Beat him, and he’ll hand over the next treasure map.
Step 3: Smashing Pots (General’s Shrine)
The next map directs you to the General’s Shrine. Head to the red building with green slatted windows. Outside the entrance, you will see a suspicious pile of large vases/pots. Smash them to reveal the third treasure map.
While you are here, speak to the Sweeping Villager nearby to get some charming lore about the Red Heroine struggling to lift the massive pots.
Step 4: Rooftop Parkour (Kilnfire Ridge)
Fast travel to the Kilnfire Ridge Boundary Stone and head toward the Emperor Chai Temple (the area where you previously fought the Horse Dancer). Look for a large tree overshadowing a ruined building on the western side of the temple. At the base of the tree is a Woodcutter.
Speak to him, and he will tell you Ruby jumped up onto the roof. Use your lightness skills to scale the building and find the next clue sitting right next to a hole in the roof.
Step 5: The Archery Contest (Bamboo Abode)
This map points you toward the Bamboo Abode, specifically an area just south of the Northern Bamboo Grove Boundary Stone. Here, you will find a Hunter standing on the road.
He will challenge you to shoot down nearby birds. Crucial Tip: Use the Still Waters skill here. It slows down time and makes hitting the erratic bird hitboxes infinitely easier. Win the contest, and he’ll give you the final note directing you back to where the game began.
Step 6: The Final Goodbye (Bamboo Grove Hut)
Fast travel to the Bamboo Retreat Boundary Stone and head to the Bamboo Grove Hut.
Warning: When you arrive, you will likely see a pile of grisly sacks and a threatening note pinned to the door. This automatically triggers the Twisted Destiny Encounter Quest. Ignore it for now. Head around to the back of the hut. Near the steps, you will find Ruby’s final letter and the Ruby’s Red Knot wrist accessory. Head inside the hut and interact with the prompt to meditate. You will enter a dream sequence where you get to see Ruby one last time. Once you wake up, the quest is complete, and the rewards are yours.

FAQs
Q: Do I actually get anything good for doing this quest?
A: Yes. Aside from the emotional closure, you get 25 Echo Jades, 25 Qinghe Exploration points, 100 Enlightenment Points, 10,000 Character EXP, 10,000 Coins, and the unique “Ruby’s Red Knot” cosmetic wrist accessory.
Q: I can’t find the Unsent Treasure map in the Brewery. Is my game bugged?
A: Ensure you have actually completed the Chapter 1 finale quest, For Whom Does He Return. The map will not spawn on the lowest shelf of the wine rack until that specific quest is fully cleared from your log.
Q: I don’t have a bow for the Hunter’s challenge. What do I do?
A: You should have acquired a basic bow during the tutorial sections, but if you dropped it or don’t have arrows, you can purchase standard archery supplies from most Peddlers in major hubs like Heaven’s Pier or Kaifeng City.
