What is the spoiler-light route checklist?
Track the purple-icon tales in the story menu and inspect their status before crossing major story thresholds. Use the checklist below to organize your own journal rather than assuming that merely seeing a quest name means it is complete. This page describes the documented route; it does not substitute an unverified ending count for quest requirements.
- Before Mirage Estate, complete the earlier group of required purple-icon tales; Bloodline Awakening is handled afterward.
- Read the progression warning and return to unfinished requirements when necessary.
- Complete Bloodline Awakening and its five Long Pillar challenges.
- Keep a separate manual save before the final sequence.

| 3 | Sha-Chi Powered Boat |
| 4 | Allure of Vanity |
| 5 | Illusory Pipa |
| 6 | Pillars of Kunlun |
| 7 | Whence the Weeping |
| 8 | The Herald’s Illusion |

What should you check at Mirage Estate?
Before entering Mirage Estate in Pangzhen, inspect the game’s warning and your unfinished purple-icon quests. A sensible save should preserve the point before entry, not merely the moment after it. If a warning reports missing requirements, resolve those journal entries before advancing instead of hoping that the ending will correct itself later.
Does the final warning mean the True Ending is impossible?
Not necessarily. The route description says the final warning appears even when all requirements are complete. Read what the warning actually restricts and distinguish it from the earlier missing-quest warning. Keep the earlier manual save until you have confirmed the resulting ending rather than replacing your only recovery point immediately.
