Mirage Estate guide: point of no return, Bells, bosses and collectibles

Mirage Estate is a late area in the upper part of Pangzhen. PowerPyx calls it a region of its own, though most outlets count it as part of Pangzhen. Reported · PowerPyx Entering it is a point of no return for the True ending. Reported · PowerPyx

Spoiler note: this page covers one of the last areas. It names late bosses, rewards and quests, with boss names in a fold. It does not describe story events.

Quick answers

Before you enter

  • Entering Mirage Estate is the first point of no return. Finish the quests that count toward the True ending first; the game warns you if required quests are open. Reported · PowerPyx
  • PowerPyx's list of quests to finish: Deep in the Valley, Illusion of Inanis, Sha-Chi Powered Boat, Allure of Vanity, Illusory Pipa, Pillars of Kunlun, Whence the Weeping, The Herald's Illusion, Crimson Manor and Secrets at the Heart of the Lake. Reported · PowerPyx More on the endings page.
  • Entering also freezes the lake by the Burial Grounds Bell in Crimson Forest, per PowerPyx. Reported · PowerPyx

This is a launch-day page. Only PowerPyx covers the estate's items; Fextralife's Mirage Estate page is empty. Each claim carries its source, and single-source claims say so.

How you get here and what comes next

You return to the upper part of Pangzhen late in the story. See map and regions for where the area sits, and the Heart's Trail walkthrough for the Pangzhen chapters before it. PowerPyx's next page after this one is Mount Soulrend.

The area · sources
Where it sits
Mirage Estate is the upper part of Pangzhen. PowerPyx calls it the 8th region and says you can enter only after opening the door in the Green Serpent House during the story. It also says Mirage Estate's collectibles are counted under Pangzhen on the map, while the Archive counts them separately. Its page links on to Mount Soulrend.

How many regions the game has

Sources count the world differently. Eight regions or maps: Gamersky's chapter list (from TheGamer), Gamersky's preview ('eight complete maps') and the Game Rant list. Nine: PowerPyx, which counts Mirage Estate separately even though it sits inside Pangzhen. Five: PCGamesN, which calls five 'main regions', as relayed by GCORES.

How we handle it: The names do not conflict, only the count. We use the eight-region chapter list for the table and treat Mirage Estate as part of Pangzhen. S-GAME has not published a map count.

The point of no return
Point of no return 1: entering Mirage Estate in Pangzhen. The door opens at the end of the main quest 'The Four Serpent Houses': you bring an item from each of the White, Black and Red Serpent House areas to the back door of the Green Serpent House. If required quests are still open, the game warns you before you go on.

Bosses in Mirage Estate

Names are in a fold because they are story spoilers. Yuding is a required fight by PowerPyx's trophy guide and Lei Dang's trophy is on Steam. Game Rant calls the Lei Dang fight two-phase and places it at the Perfect Vessel Pond. PowerPyx does not say whether Qiu Feng or Mo Yuan are optional.

Reported · PowerPyx

The Bell is Zhang's Hideout (Mirage Estate) Bell, in the cave behind it. Returning the 3 treasures pays out the Thundermoon Lantern.

Clean-up in earlier regions

Much of the second half of PowerPyx's page is not in the estate. The Tiger Cannon opens walls elsewhere, and the Crimson Forest tower holds more items.

Reported · PowerPyx Game Rant says you can fast travel back and use the Tiger Cannon on rock walls in earlier regions. The specific wall locations and rewards are PowerPyx's. Entering Mirage Estate also freezes the lake by the Burial Grounds Bell, per PowerPyx's Crimson Forest note.

Freezing Chaos is listed on the Mirage Estate page, but the Yucong fight is at the Threadbound Great Tree in Crimson Forest (PowerPyx only; its trophy guide and Crimson Forest page agree).

How do you get into Mirage Estate?

PowerPyx says it is part of Pangzhen and opens after you open the door in the Green Serpent House during the story, after the main quest The Four Serpent Houses. PowerPyx's ending guide calls entering it the first point of no return and says the game warns you if required quests are unfinished.

Reported · PowerPyx
Where do you get the Tiger Cannon?

From Lei Dang, the Tiger Cannon, at the Perfect Vessel Pond in Mirage Estate. PowerPyx and Game Rant agree on this. Game Rant calls it a two-phase fight, and says that once you hold the Tiger Cannon you can fast travel back and blow open rock walls in earlier regions.

Reported · PowerPyx
