Quick answer: Get the Hunter’s Dog Bell from the sleeping hunter near the Survivors’ Courtyard bell in the Village of Lu, then examine Dahuang in the Pangzhen backstreet near the Pond of Fading Song bell for 8,886 Remnant Dust.
How to start Dahuang
Dahuang is an optional tale in Phantom Blade Zero, starting in the Village of Lu. The hunter who owns the dog is 48 m away from the Survivors’ Courtyard bell, at an elevation roughly 9 m above it. If you still need to unlock that rest point, see the guide to reaching the Survivors’ Courtyard bell; the complete bell-location list is useful for fast travel.
He is lost in a sleep with no return, still calling out to his dog. He begs Dahuang not to leave and asks that Sha-Chi spare his companion of more than ten years from becoming a monster. Claim the Hunter’s Dog Bell from his grip to begin the tale.
The map below marks the sleeping hunter in the Village of Lu.
“A small bell once worn by Dahuang, the hunter’s beloved hunting dog. The bell now rests in the hunter’s clenched hands as he sinks into a dream from which he will never awaken.”
Where to find Dahuang
Once you have the bell, the tale’s objective reads “Find the missing hound”. Dahuang is in Pangzhen, in the backstreet, about 67 m from the Pond of Fading Song bell. The Pangzhen collectibles page covers everything else in that area.
Look for a golden hound lying on the ground as though it’s peacefully asleep. Examine it, and the tale completes on the spot.
Dahuang reward
Finishing Dahuang pays 8,886 Remnant Dust. For more ways to earn the currency, see the Remnant Dust breakdown.
The remaining tales are listed under all side quests, and anything else around the spot where the tale starts is in the Village of Lu collectibles.
