  "textContent": "Whitecrown City is a Campaign quest in Where Winds Meet set in Hexi’s Jade Gate Pass. The quest is tied to the ruined frontier city between Jade Gate Pass and Liangzhou, and it resolves after you enter the city, recover the scattered military flags, finish the memory sections, place the flags at the Hero's Tomb, and defeat Guo Xin.\n\n✅\n\nWhitecrown City completes only after you speak to Guo Xin at the end of the second phase, after he changes back from the Iron-Blooded Prince.\n\n**Quick answer:** Track Whitecrown City in your Journal, go to the white beam at the city gates southeast of Jade Gate Pass, collect five scattered military flags, finish the Wraithridge Pass and siege memories, place all seven flags, defeat Guo Xin, then speak to him to end the quest.\n\nImage credit: __NetEase (via YouTube/@RageGamingVideos)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Whitecrown City trigger\n\nRequirement | Condition\n---|---\nRegion | Jade Gate Pass, Hexi\nEntry point | Whitecrown City gates southeast of Jade Gate Pass\nQuest start | Interact with the white beam through the gate\nUnlock requirement | Ask the Wayfarer of Jade Gate Pass\nCompletion check | Speak to Guo Xin after the boss fight and final cutscene\n\n* * *\n\n### How Whitecrown City starts\n\n**Step 1:** Open your Journal and track Whitecrown City. The quest marker leads to the city entrance in the southeast part of Jade Gate Pass.\n\n**Step 2:** Interact with the white beam at the gate and insist on entering. You will be pulled into a past version of Whitecrown City and pushed toward the first arena sequence.\n\n**Step 3:** Move forward until the early Guo Xin encounter begins. That first fight is not the real finish line for the quest, so do not worry if the sequence ends and sends you back outside.\n\nImage credit: __NetEase (via YouTube/@RageGamingVideos)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Five military flag locations for Whitecrown City\n\nFlag | Location\n---|---\n1 | Near the Whitecrown City gates by a dried-up well\n2 | Peaceward Camp, near a building and campfire\n3 | Top of the main building at Howling Sand Outpost\n4 | West of Lost Crossing, in a deserted area near a torn tree\n5 | Near the Squarewall Hold Ruins Boundary Stone, south of Jade Gate Pass\n\n📍\n\nThe Howling Sand Outpost flag is the easiest one to miss. It is on the main building, not at ground level.\n\n* * *\n\n### What to do after collecting the five flags\n\n**Step 1:** Return to the Whitecrown City entrance and speak to the guard through the beam. This reopens the quest’s past-state version of the city.\n\n**Step 2:** Touch the military flag inside the city to enter the first memory. That sequence moves to a grain tower in Wraithridge Pass.\n\n**Step 3:** Follow the soldier through the tower, write the family letter at the table, and hand it to the courier. This is the required interaction that advances the memory.\n\n**Step 4:** Go toward the second floor until the explosion blocks your path. Use Cloud Steps to climb the suspended debris and touch the next military flag.\n\nImage credit: __NetEase (via YouTube/@RageGamingVideos)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Whitecrown City siege sequence\n\n**Step 1:** In the next memory, use Cosmic Reversal to rebuild the broken route across the rooftops. The quest does not move forward until the path is restored.\n\n**Step 2:** Use the ballista to shoot the flying siege monsters. Keep firing until the scripted destruction of the ballista happens.\n\n**Step 3:** Use Cosmic Reversal again to create more temporary platforms and continue descending through the ruined area. A second ballista section follows and must also be cleared.\n\n**Step 4:** Reach the fortified wall and help the soldiers defeat seven Utuk Raptors. Talk to the wounded soldier after the fight.\n\n**Step 5:** After the next explosion freezes the scene, use Cloud Steps again on the suspended objects and touch the next military flag. This is the last movement gate before the boss setup.\n\nImage credit: __NetEase__\n\n* * *\n\n### What triggers the Guo Xin boss fight\n\nThe real Guo Xin fight starts after you reach the dusty road near the Hero's Tomb and place the military flags on the highlighted spots. If you have not placed the flags, the boss will not trigger.\n\nBoss trigger step | What must happen\n---|---\nReach the Hero's Tomb | Advance through the memory sections and final flag touchpoint\nPlace the flags | Set the military flags on the marked positions in front of the tomb\nStart fight | Guo Xin appears as the Grand Protector of Anxi\nPhase change | He returns as the Iron-Blooded Prince after the first health bar ends\nQuest completion | Talk to Guo Xin after the second phase and cutscene\n\n* * *\n\n### How to know Whitecrown City is completed\n\nThe quest is not finished when Guo Xin falls in phase one, and it is not finished the moment phase two ends either. Whitecrown City only resolves after Guo Xin returns to normal, you speak to him, and the closing scene plays.\n\nThe practical confirmation is simple. If the conversation with Guo Xin has not happened, the quest is still active. If the cutscene ends and the Journal no longer keeps Whitecrown City as an active Campaign objective, the completion registered properly.\n\nImage credit: __NetEase__\n\n* * *\n\n### Why Whitecrown City may not progress\n\nBlocker | What fixes it\n---|---\nQuest does not start at the gate | Track Whitecrown City in the Journal and interact with the white beam\nCannot move to the next phase after exploration | Make sure all five scattered military flags are collected\nMemory sequence stalls | Complete the required interaction, such as writing the letter or touching the next military flag\nBoss does not appear | Place the flags at the highlighted positions by the Hero's Tomb\nQuest still seems active after the fight | Speak to Guo Xin after he reverts from the Iron-Blooded Prince\n\n* * *\n\n### Whitecrown City rewards\n\nReward type | Amount or item\n---|---\nEcho Jade | 50\nHexi Exploration | 100\nCharacter EXP | 37,500\nCoin | 37,500\nGear and items | Call of Camps - Tome, Veteran's Gleaming Cuirass, Copper Coin Greaves, Medicinal Tales, Oscillating Jade x5\n\n* * *\n\nWhitecrown City also matters beyond its own reward list. It opens the story context around Guo Xin in Jade Gate Pass, and it is required for at least one follow-up side quest in the same region, including The Camel's Call.",
