Where Winds Meet 2.0: How to Reach Mohist City in Hidden Mountain

The level and quest requirements that open the Suixiang region and its Mohist City area, where the For Your Ears Only encounter takes place.

The level and quest requirements that open the Suixiang region and its Mohist City area, where the For Your Ears Only encounter takes place.

Mohist City is one of four areas inside Suixiang, the mechanism-heavy half of the new Hidden Mountain region added in Where Winds Meet Version 2.0: Unseen Approach. It sits at the heart of the Mohist Hill sect’s territory, and it is also where wandering encounters such as For Your Ears Only can be found once you have unlocked the surrounding map. Getting there is gated behind a level threshold and a specific main story checkpoint rather than any single hidden path.

Quick answer: Reach Character Level 32 and finish the New Arrival in Kaifeng main chapter. Both conditions must be met before Hidden Mountain opens, after which you can travel into Suixiang and locate Mohist City.

Requirements to unlock Hidden Mountain and Mohist City

Hidden Mountain is the fifth explorable region in the game, and Mohist City cannot be reached until the region itself is available. There is no way to skip the gate by climbing or gliding in early. You need both of the following before the area appears for you.

RequirementDetail
Character LevelLevel 32 minimum, raised through quests and exploration
Main storyComplete the New Arrival in Kaifeng main chapter
RegionHidden Mountain, Suixiang subregion
AreaMohist City (one of Suixiang’s four areas)

Hidden Mountain is built as a living city of mechanisms with heavy verticality, so once inside you will move between elevations using the Lightness Skill, climbing, gliding, and new mechanical vehicles. Mohist City itself carries the Eastern Steampunk look of the Mohist engineers who reshaped the mountain.

How to reach Mohist City

Raise your character to Level 32. Clear main and side quests and explore earlier regions to close the gap quickly if you are below the threshold.
Progress the main story until you complete the New Arrival in Kaifeng chapter. This is the checkpoint that makes Hidden Mountain accessible.
Travel into Hidden Mountain and head toward Suixiang, the subregion that holds Precipice Ridge, Mohist City, Jadestream Valley, and Old Mohist City. Mohist City is the central hub tied to the Mohist Hill sect.
Explore Mohist City on foot and by vehicle to clear its chests, oddities, and encounters. Wandering events like For Your Ears Only appear as you move through the area rather than being handed to you at a single fixed marker.

Note: Suixiang is the mechanism-focused half of Hidden Mountain, while the second subregion, Shenze, holds two more areas in Millenium Crossing and Meandering Bank. Mohist City sits firmly on the Suixiang side.

Mohist Hill sect in Mohist City

Mohist City is home to Mohist Hill, a new sect of Wuxia-punk engineers obsessed with machinery who are trying to gain full control of Hidden Mountain. It is the game’s first building-specialized sect, and joining grants crafting-related perks such as Enhanced Construction, the Divinecraft Effect, and Construction Material Support Packs.

The sect also ties into the new Gauntlets weapon. You can obtain the Gauntlets by joining Mohist Hill or by acquiring two of its martial arts, with the Heavenwill Gauntlets sold at the Universal Love Shop and the Skygrasp Rope Dart earned from finishing Haven Astray.

How to confirm the area is unlocked

You know Hidden Mountain is open once the region becomes selectable on the map and Suixiang’s four areas, including Mohist City, appear as travel destinations. If the region still shows as locked, the most common reasons are being below Level 32 or not having cleared the New Arrival in Kaifeng chapter yet. Meeting both conditions is what makes the area, its oddities, and its encounters available.
