Mandate Encampment Area Guide

The Mandate Encampment is The Order's military heart: battlefield ruins, watchtowers and siege grounds where the war behind the Wulin conspiracy is finally visible. Its bosses are the game's heavyweights — Wan Jun, the Coppermaul, a giant who swings a sledgehammer and whose Bashpole Phantom Edge becomes yours when he falls; Red, the Mysterious Swordswoman, the fan-favorite duel; and the Chief Disciple of the Seven-Stars Formation, who fights flanked by minions.

Exploration here is vertical: fragment hunting means wooden platform edges in the valley ruins and an enemy guarding the platforms near the Beneath-the-Watchtower Bell. The camp is also where the game's puppet dialogue deepens — Yubi, the No. 21 Swordfighter Puppet, is a duel that openly mirrors the Village of Lu's constructs while fighting nothing like them.
