Hillswatch is the 1st shrine in Cloudspire region. This guide series covers all trophy/achievement relevant items, collectibles, NPC questlines, and bosses to get Platinum & 1000 Gamerscore in one playthrough. There are other non-unique items, all of which can be bought from merchants later in the game (consumables, feathers for weapon upgrades, armor dropped by enemies), and benedictions which aren’t relevant for trophies. Everything becomes missable as the story progresses, especially NPC interactions must be done at the earliest opportunity. This guide is intended for use during the story, if doing anything out of order it can fail questlines and their associated rewards.

How to reach Hillswatch: on story path, after beating Commander – Honglan at Palace Hill, you go back to Reverent Temple and use the key on the door in the left corner of the courtyard. Then follow this passage through a cave to reach the 2nd main region.
Cloudspire – Hillswatch
Riddle #2 (Bridal Armor Set)
From the shrine turn around 180° and go over the bridge. The red glowing door will be to your left. This one only contains the Bridal Armor Set, not a Benediction.
Correct Answer: Challenge the threads of fate
NPC: Hillswatch’s Female Servant
On the bridge in front of the shrine.
NPC: Qiao Ying
Right of the shrine. Give her a Steamed Bunny Bun, gives 5 x Divination Crescent.
She only appears if you gave her the White Jade Dumpling in the prior area
IMPORTANT: When you go up the path, there are two ways you can go. You’ll want to take the obvious path into the village where an exploding enemy jumps at you. DON’T take the path behind the breakable objects before the village entrance. It’s a hidden tunnel that leads to the game’s third region. Going to the third region first can break some questlines (particularly White-Robed Elder). Go through the village and advance through the Cloudspire region first, keep following the order here. It’s important you play through the 2nd main region (Cloudspire) before going into the 3rd region (Mt. Zhenwu).
NPC: Nian Suichang
From Hillswatch shrine, follow the path and enter the village. Go up the path to find him sitting there. Must have given him Mercurial Blood after Feathered Priest boss.
Shu Silk Scarf (Quest Item)
In the village take the first path on the left where there is a shortcut ladder to the Hillswatch shrine and a blue interaction spot past a doorway dialogue. Use the Examine emote to obtain this.
Coral Bracelet (Quest Item)
Go past above into the fenced area and kill the enemy with the large red bag. Can be given to Hillswatch’s Female Servant (if she doesn’t take it immediately, come back later after her character icon appears in fast travel at Hillswatch).Gives 3 x Spicy Soup then dies immediately after.
NPCs: Sun Kewang + Li Dingo
From Nian Suichang go further upstairs to find these two sitting together.
Rebel Orders (Quest Item)
Follow the path behind Sun Kewang and Li Dingo, defeat the human archer enemy, he drops this.
Tattered Pack (Quest Item) + NPC: Nian Suichang (revisited)
Pick up the purple item to the left of the archer enemy who dropped the Rebel Orders. Only appears if you spoke to Nian Suchang on the path before Kewang and Dingo. Return it to him by picking Hand over the Tattered Pack and say Remain Silent. He will reward the Sorry emote (if instead you only have the option “Expose Nian Suichang” this is fine too and gives the same result). It’s important you return to Nian Suichang immediately after collecting the Tattered Pack, otherwise his questline can break if you progress too far.
Shrine: Snowy Passage
Behind the enemy that dropped the Rebel Orders.
NEXT: Snowy Passage
