Players trying to unlock Tiny Adventure Part 4 during the Version 1.3 Spring's Bliss update in Where Winds Meet will hit a wall when the game tells them to complete something called "Shadowed Edge" first. The problem is that no quest with that exact name exists in the quest log, which has caused widespread confusion. This is a localization error — the quest the game is actually referring to is Veiled Blades, a Jianghu Legacy side quest set in Kaifeng City.
Quick answer: Open the in-game Q&A menu (press F1), type "Shadowed Edge," and the system will point you to Volume IV: Veiled Blades, located near the Goldwater Street Boundary Stele in Kaifeng. Complete that quest to unlock Tiny Adventure Part 4.
Why the Game Says "Shadowed Edge" Instead of "Veiled Blades"
Where Winds Meet has a recurring problem with inconsistent English translations. Internal quest references, event descriptions, and hyperlinks sometimes use different names for the same quest. In this case, the Tiny Adventure Part 4 prerequisite screen labels the required quest as "Shadowed Edge," but the actual quest entry in your journal and on the map is called Veiled Blades. The game does include a clickable gold-text hyperlink system that is supposed to jump you directly to the relevant quest page, but it frequently fails to work, making the mismatch even more frustrating.
Where to Start the Veiled Blades Quest
Veiled Blades is classified as a Jianghu Legacy quest — specifically the fourth one in the Kaifeng region. To pick it up, speak with the Wayfarer NPC in Kaifeng City. The quest itself begins near the Goldwater Street Boundary Stele, northwest of central Kaifeng. When you arrive, you will encounter a group of NPCs having a conversation. Eavesdrop on them, then enter the nearby house where you meet a child and receive the quest objectives.
Note: If you have not yet progressed far enough in the Kaifeng main storyline (Chapter 2), the Wayfarer may not offer this quest. Make sure you have completed earlier Jianghu Legacy quests in the Kaifeng chain, such as Streetwise Sage, Shadows in Bloom, and Under Another's Roof, since these quests unlock sequentially.
Veiled Blades Walkthrough and Rewards
The quest involves investigating a conspiracy tied to hidden blade techniques in Kaifeng. You will follow leads through the city, interact with several NPCs, and piece together the story behind a secretive martial arts faction. The quest is not combat-heavy but does require careful attention to dialogue choices and some light exploration around the Kaifeng streets.
Completing Veiled Blades grants the following rewards:
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Riptide Reflex Tome | 1 |
| Medicinal Tales | 1 |
| Ebon Iron Level 3 | 5 |
| Oscillating Jade | 2 |
| Echo Jade | 45 |
| Kaifeng Exploration | 60 |
| Enlightenment Points | 100 |
| Character EXP | 16,200 |
| Coins | 16,200 |
Unlocking Tiny Adventure Part 4 After Veiled Blades
Once Veiled Blades is marked as complete in your quest journal, return to the Tiny Adventure event menu. The lock on Part 4 should be removed, and you can proceed with the next stage of the event chain. If the prerequisite still appears locked, try restarting the game client or teleporting to a different region and back — occasional UI delays can prevent the completion flag from updating immediately.
Using the Q&A Menu to Resolve Future Name Mismatches
This is not the only instance of mismatched quest names in Where Winds Meet. Whenever you encounter a prerequisite or reference that does not match anything in your quest log, press F1 to open the in-game Q&A panel and type the exact name shown on screen. The Q&A system will usually return the correct quest name and its starting location. On PlayStation, access this through the equivalent menu option in the system settings — though navigating menus on console is notably slower due to the lack of a cursor-based interface.
Localization inconsistencies like the Shadowed Edge / Veiled Blades mix-up are a known pain point in the game's current build. Keeping the Q&A tool in mind will save significant time whenever a quest name does not line up with what you see in your journal.
