A particular word or action will be highlighted in blue when the passage pops up. That is the hint you get for the emote that you need to use to unlock this Face of the Past.
Below is a list of all the Faces of the Past in Wuchang Fallen Feathers along with their location, emote requirement, and the reward that they unlock:
Faces of the Past | How to find | Required Emote | Reward |
---|---|---|---|
#1: Shu Sanctum (Worship’s Rise) | This is the first Face that you will likely come across. To locate it, you will need to head outside of the second-floor opening from the Shu Sanctum and then make your way up the sloping path on the right. Here you will find a wide area with a statue. Here you will find the Face of the Past along with an inner Demon Encounter. | Gaze (Use the emote as you stand next to the glowing statue) | Candied Haws |
#2: Reverent Temple (Worship’s Rise) | You will receive the key to the Reverent Temple after you have completed Tang Palace. Unlock the door to the left side of the yard and head into the cave. Here on the ledge, you will spot a glowing marker where the Face of the Past is. | Tai Chi | Red Mercury Essence |
#3: Hillswatch (Cloudspire) | After reaching the Hillswatch Shrine, head up the slope and past the abandoned houses. Once you make your way across the wooden platform, you will see a glowing tombstone there. There is a deep ravine below, so this point of interest will be hard to miss. | Examine | Shu Silk Scarf |
#4: Snowy Passage (Cloudspire) | From the Snowy Passage Shrine, head right and you will be able to spot a glowing statue across the bridge. However, this journey is quite perilous and you might want to bring along items and armor which will help you resist the Frostbite build-up. Those affected by Frostbite have their maximum stamina halved for the duration. When Frostbite procs, it also deals an initial amount of damage. | Worship | Soulgrass |
#5: Rebel Camp (Cloudspire) | Once you reach the Rebel Camp, you will need to head to the standalone tower, which is close to the Snowpeak pass fortress. There are a lot of enemies that you will need to fight along the way, and once you get near it, you will notice the familiar glow of a Face of the Past in the distance along the cliff. | Water Dance | Red Mercury Essence |
#6: Bride’s Boudoir (Cloudspire) | Once you reach the cells of Bride’s Boudoir, you will notice that an NPC is kept imprisoned there. Now walk past that area, and you will find one of Wuchang Fallen Feather’s Faces of the Past there along with a Mana Vase upgrade chest. | Examine | Dragon-Fish Pendant |
#7: Zhenwwu Antechamber (Mt. Zhenwu) | Head behind the Zhenwu Antechamber Shrine in Mt. Zhenwu, and you will find a large pavilion by making your way around and climbing the rooftops. The final Faces of the Past statue is here. | Worship | Temple Elixir |
