The storyline progression in Where Winds Meet can see you hopping from questline to questline, unlocking more and more side quests and tales as you travel through the Hexi region. These questlines are extremely useful for opening you up to more NPCs and lore in the vast world of the game.
Following the Wandering Tale A Tassel and a Tale, this next quest in the story will help you make an important area of the map more accessible and make it possible to complete more encounters in your Sentient Beings collection.
Where To Find The Retreat Gong’s Fragments
After the cutscene that followed your placing of the red tassel on the spear, Granny Pan and Young Yichao will head to the village of Squarewall Hold Ruins, which is directly in front of the Boundary Stone of the same name.
Before they head into the village, you will be tasked with finding three fragments of the Retreat Gong, which are scattered in the area.
The first fragment is found on the roof of the building, which is directly south of the Boundary Stone. The second is slightly southwest of the first fragment in the corner of a ruined building, and the third is up in a watchtower with a corpse northwest of the second fragment.

Where To Find The Gong
After you’ve collected all the Gong fragments, return to Granny Pan and Young Yichao, who will be sitting at the top of a tower slightly southwest of the Boundary Stone.
When you speak with them, they will ask you to ring the Retreat Gong, located at the top of the floating ruins in the area.
Follow the floating platforms and scale the walls of the ruins until you reach the top. The higher you get, the easier it’ll be to see the Gong.
When you jump onto the correct stone section, interact with the Gong to ring it. A cutscene will play, and Squarewall Hold will be easily accessible again.
After your task with Granny Pan and Young Yichao is over, Squarewall Hold won’t be as hostile, and this means you can now progress onto the side quest Feline Fixation, which was locked before completing The Final Retreat. Completing Feline Fixation will complete your Cat Play encounters for the region.
If you wait for a sandstorm to appear, you will be able to see a white path appear in the sky that leads you to the Gong.
