The Tiny Adventure event in Where Winds Meet Version 1.3 (Spring's Bliss) introduces 20 Miniature Treasure chests hidden throughout the Qinghe and Kaifeng regions. You only need to collect 8 to complete the event's reward track, but all 20 are available for players who want to grab everything. Before any of these chests will appear in the open world, you must first complete the Miniature Form I quest — also known as Tiny Adventure: Part 1 — which unlocks the Contortion Mystic Skill.
Quick answer: Complete the Tiny Adventure: Part 1 quest from Elder Zhan at Riverside Station in Qinghe (requires Level 10) to unlock the Contortion skill, then use it to shrink your character and find Miniature Treasure chests. Ten chests are in Qinghe, and ten are in Kaifeng. Collect at least 8 to finish the event reward track.
Unlock the Contortion Skill First
Miniature Treasures and Oddities will not spawn anywhere on the map until you finish the introductory quest. Travel to Riverside Station in Qinghe and speak with Elder Zhan, who stands beside the Riverside Station Prison. Your character must be at least Level 10 for the quest to appear.
During the quest, you watch Elder Zhan demonstrate Contortion and then press the prompted button at the right moment each time you are asked to comprehend a movement. After learning the skill, you use it to shrink down, sneak into the prison, blow a whistle inside, and free the Troupe Leader. Selecting "No more questions to ask" in the final dialogue completes the quest.
Finishing Tiny Adventure: Part 1 rewards 15 Echo Jade, 15 Qinghe Exploration, 20 Enlightenment Points, 5,000 Character EXP, and 5,000 Coins. More importantly, it permanently unlocks Contortion, which you need for every Miniature Treasure and Oddity in the event.
Miniature Treasure Distribution — Qinghe and Kaifeng
The 20 chests are split evenly between the two regions.
| Region | Miniature Treasures |
|---|---|
| Qinghe | 10 |
| Kaifeng | 10 |
| Total | 20 |
The event reward track only asks for 8 collected treasures to claim all milestone rewards, so you have plenty of flexibility in which ones you pick up. Collecting beyond 8 does not grant additional event rewards, though each chest itself contains a small amount of loot.
How to Spot Miniature Treasures on the Map
When you are near a Miniature Treasure or Oddity while using Contortion, a small icon appears on your minimap. The icon resembles a jail-like symbol and is shared between both Miniature Treasures and Oddities, so you will need to approach each one to see which type it is.
If you prefer narrowing down the search before wandering, open the event page and look at the bottom-center area where you collect milestone rewards. A hint button there highlights general zones on the world map where treasures can be found. It does not give exact coordinates, but it cuts down the search area significantly.
Interacting With Environmental Objects While Miniaturized
Not every Miniature Treasure is sitting out in the open. Some require you to interact with nearby environmental objects while in your shrunken form. A common pattern involves a signpost near a wooden shelter or structure. Walk up to the signpost and press the interact key to read it. The text on the signpost describes a specific emote action — for example, "Pat that thing down".
After reading the signpost, open the emote wheel and select the matching action. Performing it triggers a small cloud of smoke, and the hidden Miniature Treasure chest appears nearby. If you skip the signpost and try to use the emote without reading it first, the chest may not spawn. Always check for interactable objects in the immediate area before moving on.
Oddities and Additional Tiny Adventure Content
Alongside the 20 Miniature Treasures, the Tiny Adventure event also features 10 Oddity collectibles spread across Qinghe and Kaifeng. These use the same minimap icon as treasures and are found using the same Contortion skill. The event page tracks Oddities separately from treasures, and collecting them contributes to Fortune Points that you can spend in the Fortune Shop on Echo Jade, coins, and other items.
Beyond the collectibles, the Tiny Adventure event chain includes roughly 5 additional quests that unlock one per day. These are separate from the open-world treasure hunt and provide their own dialogue and rewards.
Troubleshooting — Chests Not Appearing
If you travel to a known Miniature Treasure location and nothing is there, check a few things. First, confirm that you have completed the Miniature Form I quest. Without finishing it, no treasures or Oddities will spawn anywhere. Second, make sure you are actively using the Contortion skill — the chests and their minimap icons only appear while your character is shrunk. Third, verify that you are running the Version 1.3 patch. Players on earlier versions will not see any Tiny Adventure content.
Some players on PS5 have reported issues where map icons and jumping puzzles associated with treasures do not load. If you encounter this, try restarting the game or fast-traveling away and returning to the area. No official fix has been confirmed for platform-specific display issues at this time.
The Tiny Adventure event is part of the broader Spring's Bliss seasonal content in Version 1.3. Finishing the treasure hunt early gives you time to accumulate Fortune Points and clear the Fortune Shop before the season rotates. Even if you only grab the 8 required chests, unlocking Contortion itself adds a permanent new way to interact with the world — so it is worth completing the introductory quest regardless of how many collectibles you plan to chase down.
