Some tips for new players of the English version

[Mew]

• Make sure to steal as much and as often as possible (with Shi Yan or Fatty Yue). Shi Yan requires money to recruit each time, and she leaves your party whenever she is severely hurt in battle. She might not leave if she gets one-shotted, though.
  
  
• Only learn arts you definitely want to use, because you might run out of art slots eventually (12 active skills and 6 internal arts each person). This is mostly a concern for the major characters, as they have access to a greater skill pool than the rest. Save some space for supreme arts like the Mahā́ Śiva-dhāraī, the two volumes of the Nine Yin Manual, and Nine Yang Divine Art.
  
  
• Don't be afraid to use items to boost Gu Yuexuan and Jingji's stats. Gu Yuexuan in particular is the core combatant of your party for the entire game.
  
  
• Each of the four basic attributes grants a special effect to the character once it reaches 80.
  
  
• Trigger the Chong-Ling Sword Art quest by talking to the Huashan disciple training alone on the top left section of Huashan Sect as soon as possible, as you won't be able to trigger it later on.
  
  
• Bring Fang Yunhua along with Ren Jiannan with you to the unmarked Dongfang Bubai's tomb. Search near the coffin to the bottom right in the area where the boss battle took place.
  
  
• The youth wearing a blue shirt that the Jianghu rumors mention is Dongfang Weiming.
  
  
• Don't forget to introduce your teammates to Old Hu in Xiaoyao Valley so you can get items to have a party together later in Hangzhou.
  
  
• Wuxia Zi can teach Gu Yuexuan and Jingji new skills if they reach certain training requirements.
  
  
• The Sword Saint has unique dialogue and interactions with some party members that you can use to challenge him (try Fu Jianhan). Save your game right before meeting him for some interesting insights.
  
  
• Bring Taya to talk to Xu Ziyi after she finishes reading his book (reach level 10 in the internal style).
  
  
• Be mindful of instant loss conditions during special battles, especially in the battles involving Xiao Fu and Lady Meng. Make sure to read the instructions to the battle with Mahāmāya (Yidam) and Gata (Hetuo) carefully.
  
  
• There are certain environmental elements that you can interact with, but some require certain conditions to be met (specific skill, stats, character, etc).
  
  
• There are many guide-dang-it side quests that may lock you out of certain rewards or events throughout the game.
  
  
• There's loot all over the place. Try running around and pressing enter if you think you might find something.
  
  
• If you pick Fengdu in the beginning and win, you get talents with these effects:
  Jingji: If critically hit, the next outgoing attack will critically hit.
  Gu Yuexuan: Automatically replace defeated teammates with undeployed party members.
  ---
  If you pick the Cult of Tianlong and win:
  Jingji: If he is the only unit on your side left standing, every outgoing attack will be a critical hit.
  Gu Yuexuan: Chance to perform combination attacks with teammates when teammate is/teammates are nearby.
  
  
• Solution to the cave puzzle: do so la re mi (13243)
  
  
• Solution to the problem posed by the fortune-teller in Luoyang City jail: beheading ("Cut off head")
  
  
• Jiang Wang's riddles: 21443
  
  
• Chengdu quiz answers: 33132
  
  
• Speak with the gate guard on the right in Luoyang multiple times to see what happens.
  
  
• You can press TAB to switch your character in the overworld and press F to see a recent text log.
  
  
• As others have mentioned, having Yan Yu in your party boosts your "Perspective" gain and having Jiang Yu in your party boosts your experience gain.
  
  
• There is a northward path covered by some grass on the Island Hidden at Sea (this part drove me crazy for quite a while).
  
  
• Before taking part in Beichou's play, make sure to make Wei Ziling and Jingji as weak as possible (take off their gear and equip bad internal styles).
  
  
• Use the Tale of Wuxia: Prequel trainer by FLiNG if you would like for an easier time through the game.
  
  
• Add the line JumpMovie=true to ...\steamapps\common\Tale of WuxiaThe Pre-Sequel\launch\TaleOfWuxia.ini to enable skipping cutscenes with the Q key.
  
  
• The game's version number on Steam is 1.0.2.2 at the moment.
  
  
• Fatty Yue is important. Don't neglect him if you want the best ending. SPOILER ALERT: Have him in your party for the battle with Prince (Duke in-game) Sai (not to be confused with Wanyan Ke'er'ke, his son) in his underground stronghold with his default internal art at mastery level 10.

Shen Xiangyun is useful early in the game because she can join you pretty much from the start. She is quickly outclassed by Xiao Fu and Taya though.
Some teammates with low potential for growth: Shang Zhongren, The Anthomaniac (Floriculturist), Shen Xiangyun, and Feng Chuixue.

Where do you recruit Taya im yet to see her.

You'll have to rescue the chief of Tribu des Fleurs from Villains' Valley. When you visit him later on, he'll give you quests that lead to Taya joining the party.

For me it just depends who you teach the most internal to, it boosts their stats and art dmg considerably. Wei Ziling in my current game is definatly S tier. My highest dmg dealer followed by Ji Jing (mostly cause the game story throws very nice arts to him, like sword saint and the master on frozen lake). Budong is amazing once he learn all the additional staff arts his starting ones are pretty bad. I find Taya so-so, healing and buffing is fine, but can't help out in any other way, i prefer Xiao Fu he can do both. Mostly agree on rest of list, although i havent found how to recruit a few of those C and D lister yet.

Anyone know how to unlock villain valley? Ive got like 3 quests that require me speaking to semuran but none of the people in petals tribe say anything. (village elder tells me chief is in villain valley though.)

[ahcastro]

Anyone remember how to unlock the swordsmith manor? I started a new game to get Yan Yu earlier, as well as get the second skills for Gu/Ji. I have the blue crystal, I just forgot how I actually unlocked the location for the swordsmith manor. I'm trying to maximize my perspective gain, so I'm avoiding starting every quest available.

[wolfie6]

Fatty Yue can be recruited in the nameless grave. Once you get to the map you can find him trapped in some device and starts his quest. Its really short and gives you a nice art.

Well, there's his quest to free him from the trap, he gives an art and leaves. Now what?
