Where to go after bow?

When you leave the pavilion you'll get a call from Ruyi telling you a direction to head, and all the paths along there are blocked except for the one that leads to the second Sol (basically)

I did not get any call after leaving the pavilion. The game just left me hanging.

A general tip when you're not sure where to go: open up the map and check if there are reachable yet still unexplored parts. Usually there's something for you to find out.

The problem I ran into was that it wasn't clear to me that you can actually kill the statue enemies, and that killing them unlocks doors. After getting the bow, it seemed like that every path I had access to was blocked off by something that I couldn't remove. It was only when I read the first reply of this topic when I revisited the top-right of the hub area, then was baffled about the locked door until I eventually noticed the statue glowing green after it attacks.

The worst parts of a metroidvania are when you make the false assumption that a path is not accessible and you'll need to return later, and write that path off, when you actually could access the path the whole time. It recently also happened to me with Ender Lilies and trying to find the catacombs area.

For anyone else confused af and still running around lost after reading this thread, the 'hub' that people keep referring to is not the Four Seasons Pavilion, it's the New Kunlun Central Hall.

After getting the Tai Chi Kick, you can deal with the Spear Sentinel on the right side of the map, right above the door you opened with your Nymph. That will let you enter the Lake Ruins, and the Agricultural Zone. Once you aquire the Charged Strike there, that will allow you to enter the Warehouse Zone, to the left of the Pavilion.
