Tiny Adventure: Part 1 is an Exploration side quest added to Where Winds Meet with the Version 1.3 Spring's Bliss update. Completing it unlocks the Contortion Mystic Skill, which lets you shrink your character and access hidden miniature areas scattered across Qinghe and Kaifeng. The quest itself is relatively short but introduces mechanics you will use throughout the broader Tiny Adventure event.
Quick answer: Approach Elder Zhan beside the Riverside Station Prison in Qinghe (requires Level 10), observe his Contortion demonstration, learn the skill, infiltrate the prison using it, blow a whistle inside, then free the Troupe Leader to complete the quest.
How to Unlock Tiny Adventure: Part 1
You must reach Level 10 before the quest becomes available. Once you meet that requirement, travel to Riverside Station in the Qinghe region and look for Elder Zhan. He stands just beside the Riverside Station Prison. Interact with him to begin the quest.
If you do not see Elder Zhan at the location, make sure your character level meets the threshold and that you have installed the Version 1.3 patch. The quest will not appear on earlier versions of the game.
Tiny Adventure: Part 1 Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Step 1: Speak with Elder Zhan beside the Riverside Station Prison to start the quest. A short dialogue introduces the Contortion skill and sets up the objective.
Step 2: Move to the marked observation point and watch Elder Zhan demonstrate the Contortion skill from a distance. Select "Observe" when prompted. During the demonstration, you will need to press the specified button at the right moment each time you are asked to comprehend a movement. Time these inputs carefully to learn the skill successfully.
Step 3: After learning Contortion, talk to Elder Zhan again. When the dialogue options appear, select "Kind thrilling though" to proceed. You will then be tasked with infiltrating the prison to test out the newly acquired skill.
Step 4: Activate the Contortion skill to shrink your character. While miniaturized, sneak into the prison. You can walk straight through the front entrance and slip behind the guards undetected — there is no need for a complex route.
Step 5: Once inside the prison, navigate to the marked location and use the Blow Whistle action. A short cutscene plays.
Step 6: After the cutscene, enter the prison cell where the Troupe Leader is being held. You can jump through any of the square holes in the cell wall to get inside. Give the key to the Troupe Leader to free them.
Step 7: A final dialogue sequence begins. When prompted, select "No more questions to ask" to end the conversation and complete the quest.
Tiny Adventure: Part 1 Rewards
Finishing the quest grants the following rewards in total, accumulated as you progress through each step and upon completion:
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Echo Jade | 15 |
| Qinghe Exploration | 15 |
| Enlightenment Point | 20 |
| Character EXP | 5,000 |
| Coins | 5,000 |
Beyond the material rewards, the most important unlock is the Contortion Mystic Skill itself. This skill is required for the rest of the Tiny Adventure event chain and for finding Miniature Treasures hidden throughout the open world.
What the Contortion Skill Unlocks
Contortion shrinks your character to a miniature size, allowing you to explore tiny areas that are otherwise inaccessible. After completing Part 1, you can wander through Qinghe and Kaifeng to find Miniature Treasure chests and Oddity collectibles tied to the broader Tiny Adventure event.
There are 20 Miniature Treasure locations spread across both regions (10 in Qinghe, 10 in Kaifeng), though the event only requires you to find 8 to complete its reward track. When you get close to a Miniature Treasure or Oddity, a small icon resembling a jail-like symbol appears on your minimap. The event page also has a hint button at the bottom that highlights general areas on the map where treasures can be found.
Some treasures require interacting with environmental objects while miniaturized. For example, you may encounter a signpost near a wooden shelter. Press the interact key to read it, then open the emote wheel and select the action it describes — such as "Pat that thing down" — to reveal the hidden chest.

Tips for the Tiny Adventure Event
You need to complete the Miniature Form I quest (which is Tiny Adventure: Part 1) before any Miniature Treasures or Oddities will spawn in the open world. Once that is done, simply explore Qinghe and Kaifeng while keeping an eye on your minimap for the distinctive icon.
If you are having trouble locating treasures on your own, check the event page's built-in hint system. It narrows down the search area on the map without giving exact coordinates, which strikes a balance between exploration and efficiency. Coordinating with guildmates to cover different zones can also speed up the process significantly.
The Tiny Adventure event is part of the larger Spring's Bliss seasonal content running alongside events like All as One and the upcoming Voyage of Lanterns. Completing Tiny Adventure objectives earns Fortune Points, which you can spend in the Fortune Shop on Echo Jade, coins, and other useful items.
Tiny Adventure: Part 1 is a quick quest, but the Contortion skill it unlocks opens up an entire layer of exploration content across the map. Finishing it early in the Version 1.3 cycle gives you more time to hunt down all 20 Miniature Treasures and collect the event rewards at your own pace.
