Clues[edit | edit source]
Clue 1[edit | edit source]
“
Many bodies killed by Life Leech have been found around here. Let's go check what's going on.
— In-game description
Walk to the green light once the request is finished.
Clue 2[edit | edit source]
“
Mummified corpses mean... Life Leech?
But it's not enough to prove that it's Yeo Wihuang's doing. Is there something more?
I was asked to investigate bodies in the Roving Bull Specter Camp.
I need to get rid of these Roving Bull Specters first.— In-game description
Move to the spot on the bottom-right corner and kill 50 Roving Bull Specters.
Clue 3[edit | edit source]
“
Was Ma Seopgae referring to the bodies killed by Life Leech when he mentioned the evidence of Yeo Wihuang being alive?
Well, he asked me to investigate corpses so let's go take a close look— In-game description
Move to the upper spot, right next to the Vagabond Yeogwi Boss (Bottom-right green boss), and check the corpses.
Clue 4[edit | edit source]
“
A woman crying? In a place like this...?
Considering the terrain, there seems to be a cave somewhere. I should find her and ask what happened.— In-game description
Now speak to Chusim, the NPC that appears walking all the way to the right in the map (see image).
Clue 5[edit | edit source]
“
Chunsim! She became a Bull Fiend and had to leave her family... Damn Bull Fiends!
She said her son's name is Ma Wonji!
The Ma family name... Does she happen to know Ma Seopgae?
I should go ask him.— In-game description
Check the map and walk towards the mistery symbol. Then, speak to Ma Seopgae.
Clue 6[edit | edit source]
“
That Ma Seopgae... I don't like him. I can't trust him at all!
But Ma is a rare family name, so I'll need to talk to some of them.
What odd manners to invite a guest to a meal, yet ask to bring their own ingredients...So annoying, but I have no other choice.— In-game description
After speaking to Ma Seopgae, kill 15 Plant Turtles located right in front of the NPC.
Clue 7[edit | edit source]
“
There's only one Ma family around here.
It won't be difficult to find them.
In which part of Snake Pit Vilage do they live ?
Ugh, he didn't even bother giving me his address...I need to ask around.— In-game description
Walk to this spot (see image) in Snake Pit, a cutscene will be displayed.
Clue 8[edit | edit source]
Meddling in someone else's family affairs is... Eh? Wonji!
The old lady definitely just called him Wonji...
So Ma Seopgae is Bullface Fiend Chunsim's Husband.
I need that Steelskin Nefariox's Club.
Looks like Warrior Ma has trained in martial arts.
Move to this spot in Virperbeast Plain (see image), and kill Steelskin Nefariox monsters until the next clue pop-up.
Clue 9[edit | edit source]
Okay, I have the club. Ma Seopgae lives at Snake Pit Village. Let's go.
Teleport to Wangil in Snake Pit, then speak to Seong Soyo.
Clue 10[edit | edit source]
The way Madam Wonching looked at the ring was weird!
Looks like the lady Seong Soyo did lie, but... Could it really be Lady Wonching's ring?
If so, why did Chunsim...
Well, I can ask her when we meet later.
She told me to go west of the village and take the road to the right of the Abandoned Post.
Move to the spot below Clue 7 (see image). A cutscene will be displayed.
Clue 11[edit | edit source]
I told Madam Wonching where to find Chunsim. It's now up to them. Still I can shake it!
I should take it upon myself to prevent any misunderstanding between them.
Let's go to the Vagabong Bullface Fiend's military cave, where I first met Chunsim.
Teleport once more to the Vagabond Yeogwi Boss (Bottom-right green boss) in Viperbeast Plain, then walk towards where Chunsim was before in Clue 3 (see image).
A cutscene will be displayed there Chunsim fights Wonching. You will then need to fight Chunshim. Then Speak to Wonching.
Clue 12[edit | edit source]
She asked me to hunt the Viperbeast Crusher in the Labyrinth and bring her a Vamp Fox Sachet.
How is Wonching so familiar with such medicine? Her martial skills, too...
She's no ordinary lady! Wait, that's not what's important right now.
Although Chunsim is a Bullface Fiend, I can't just abandon her. Let's go get the medicine.
Teleport to Viperbeast Crusher (Left green boss) in Snake Pit Labyrinth F1. You will need to kill the boss 3 times.
Clue 13[edit | edit source]
It took longer than I thought. Is Wonching still in that cave? I'm worried about Chunsim.
Teleport once more to the Vagabond Yeogwi Boss (Bottom-right green boss) in Viperbeast Plain, then walk towards where Chunsim was before in Clue 3 (see image).
Finally, speak to Wonching.
