Joining a new sect after Old Man Sect

[wraithlord45]

Will there be a way later to join multiple sects, I want to try them out but I feel like I miss out when I don't join the Old man's Sect. Or any mods that will allow us to join multiple sects

There's a skill from completing the old man's ending but that keeps you from leaving his sect and joining others.

It is still possible to join all the sects, but you will always have to start with the old man sect and quit his sect before completing the nine faction sect quest. With that said, you will only be losing out on two ultimate skills from Yan Gexing and Chu Kuangsheng.

Is that the one where they're causing trouble in the 3 areas? I resolved out of those...am I too late to change sects now?

No, not that quest.

Thanks for the tip man, now I can safely do other quests while ending the run with my one true sect, the Old man sect.

Don't do it, this exploit has been patched.

oof... I guess I get all martial arts and end with my favorite sect huh... Kinda painful for me since I wanted to end on a perfect note. Haiz

Is there quite possibly a chance that after I complete all other sects, only then entering the nameless village could I complete all sects then end with old man sect?

Not possible. Once you've joined any sect, even you've never set foot into the Nameless Village, the old man will not spawn.

Damn, really no way around it huh, wish the developers add a way even if it's the hardest, grindy, or challenging. Heck, I'd even replay the game twice if I could get that ending XD. Thankyou as always, Senior Brother!

If you want to play in multiple sects in one run, you can refer to the Free 1690 guide which explains somewhat about leaving and joining new sects.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. So like there is no way, literally no way for us to joining every sects and rejoin the old man's sect?

Not entire sure about V1.2, but I would suspect there is no way to legitimately do that.

Unless with a lousy exploit/cheat:


1) Right before quitting from Old Man Sect, save and quit the game.
2) Back up SaveObjectStory.Save from the exact same save file. Which can be located here: %UserProfile%\AppData\LocalLow\DefaultCompany\Wulin\Steam Number
3) Go back into the game, quit Old Man Sect.
4) Join all the sects you want and make sure you are sect-less before doing the next step.
5) Copy the old SaveObjectStory.Save from your back up to the exact same save file.

Warning: You get to retain all the XP, skills, items, money between Step 2 and 5, but all quests completed within this period are voided. Meaning, the game treats it as if you never leave the Old Man Sect. I am not entirely sure if you will be able to retain the traits obtained, but it should be saved in a separate file. Any NPC companions who joined you within this period will still stay in your party/homestead, but you will need to redo their quests.

I think the old man sect is kinda the "on rails" experience, but in subsequent runs you don't have to join it and can in fact join multiple sects. There are some you can only do once, such as the ice prison event, but outside of unique manuals tied to the sect you enter that event with you can get most of the rewards.

Except for one. One sect if you leave either has you kill the leader or you get killed and a game over. Shouldn't be to hard to figure out which one is going to not want anyone powerful enough to challenge them down the line though.

You only get that fight if you miss the signs and try to leave while you are alone with him. That character in question is very particular about his public image so he won't fight you if other people are around.
