Buddha Fort in Where Winds Meet: Outpost Objectives, Enemies, and Rewards

Buddha Fort sits in Qinghe’s Sundara Land as one of the more tightly focused outposts in Where Winds Meet, combining hostile monks, hostage rescue, and a named target into a single run. It also acts as a hub for “Buddha Fort” enemy types that show up across the surrounding monasteries and villages, making it a useful grinding spot once you understand what is actually there and what it drops.

Buddha Fort Outpost objectives and claim cost

On the world map, Buddha Fort appears as a red fortress icon like other outposts. It follows the same basic rules as the rest of the Qinghe set:

You spend 20 energy to “claim” the outpost and open the reward chest at the end. Clearing it once permanently unlocks it for farming on your world level, in line with other Qinghe outposts like Tiger Fort, Gourmand's Grove, Mercyheart Monastery, and Bloomveil Monastery.

Where Winds Meet - Buddha Fort Outpost

Starts at: 00:07

Enemy lineup: Rogue Monks, Huiyong, and Buddha Fort elites

The bulk of the encounter revolves around Rogue Monks. Buddha Fort’s objective list specifies sixteen of them, which puts it slightly above Bloomveil Monastery and Gourmand's Grove in terms of enemy count but still very manageable in a single sweep.

In addition to generic monks, Qinghe’s Sundara Land spawns a whole family of “Buddha Fort” enemies whose presence gives the outpost its name:

Only one Buddha Fort Elite is tied directly to the Buddha Fort area, but the wider Sundara Land cluster means you can chain several nearby points of interest if you are farming their drops.

The outpost’s named objective, Huiyong, functions as the local leader. Defeating Huiyong completes one of the three explicit goals and typically marks the end of combat pressure, letting you secure the villager rescue and chest without stray adds.

Buddha Fort Elite and Lieutenant loot tables

Buddha Fort-branded enemies share a structured drop table that scales through multiple loot tiers. The exact item pool shifts slightly between tiers, but the pattern remains the same: healing items, food, currency, Oscillating Jade, and tiered gear.

Both Buddha Fort Elite and Buddha Fort Lieutenant follow this same structure, so any route that cuts through Buddha Fort, Mercyheart Monastery, Bloomveil Monastery, and Gourmand's Grove will steadily supply:

• Oscillating Jade for progression and upgrades
• Healing and recovery items for longer runs
• Coin bags and loose Zhou Coin for purchases
• Food that supplements health and buffs
• Random tiered gear pieces for filling equipment slots

As your solo world level rises, the quality and quantity of those drops improve, especially gear and higher-grade consumables.

How outpost rewards apply to Buddha Fort

Buddha Fort follows the same reward rules as all outposts in Where Winds Meet: a one-time “first clear” payout, then repeatable farming rewards that consume energy.

First clear rewards at Buddha Fort

The first time you clear any outpost, including Buddha Fort, you receive a fixed set of progression items:

That “possible extras” row varies from outpost to outpost; Buddha Fort’s guaranteed part is the same backbone of constitution-type and exploration-related rewards shared by the Qinghe set.

Farmable rewards and energy use

Once Buddha Fort has been cleared at least once, the reward chest at the end can be opened repeatedly as long as you pay the 20 energy claim cost. What comes out of that chest fits into a standard pool used across outposts:

Because Buddha Fort also hosts one of the Buddha Fort Elite enemies, the energy investment effectively covers two parallel grinds: chest-based outpost rewards and on-the-way enemy drops from elites, monks, and Huiyong’s encounter.

Recommended Mystic Arts and tactics for Buddha Fort

Buddha Fort is a Qinghe outpost, and its layout benefits from a few early Mystic Arts that the game encourages players to unlock in the same region.

Qinghe outposts in general place explosive red barrels throughout their arenas. Veil of Stillness makes it easier to slip in, trigger a barrel, and withdraw before enemies fully react. In a compact location like Buddha Fort, this can clear several Rogue Monks at once before you ever swing a weapon.

For Huiyong, treating the fight like a small-scale boss encounter helps. Lock down nearby support enemies with Meridian Touch or burst them with Lion's Roar, then commit to Huiyong while parrying frequently to open safe damage windows. Because you also need to save at least one villager, it is safer to thin enemies around the hostage before you trigger any rescue interactions.

How Buddha Fort connects to the wider Qinghe loop

Buddha Fort is not an isolated challenge. Its title enemies and Rogue Monks appear in a ring of related locations across Sundara Land: Mercyheart Monastery, Gourmand's Grove, Bloomveil Monastery, Thousand-Buddha Village, Wildmane Ranch, Halo Peak, and Jadebrook Mountain. Clearing the outpost and then circling those surrounding areas creates a compact farming route for:

• Oscillating Jade from both elites and outpost chests
• Steady Zhou Coin income via coin bags and chests
• Treated medicine items that reduce reliance on vendors
• Tiered gear drops to fill out multiple builds

Outposts can be repeated with energy, and some have small event sequences at their entrances that reduce the number of enemies if you choose the right dialogue or action. Buddha Fort follows that same design language, so it pays to approach its gate carefully, look for prompts, and use them to soften resistance before you step fully into the fortress.

Once you have a foothold in Qinghe’s exploration, Buddha Fort becomes less of a one-off monastery siege and more of a reliable node in a larger economy of elites, monks, and repeatable chests clustered across Sundara Land.
