Yan Momo is one of the Jianghu Friends (Old Friends) in Where Winds Meet, a set of NPCs that use free‑text AI Chat instead of fixed dialogue. Befriending her in a single good conversation immediately pushes your Affection to 100 and sets her status to Revered, qualifying her for weekly Jianghu Friend rewards alongside the rest of your Old Friends.
Yan Momo basics
| Field | Details |
|---|---|
| Name | Yan Momo |
| Category | Jianghu Friend (Old Friend, AI Chat NPC) |
| Region | Qinghe |
| Local area | Moonveil Mountain – Crimson Cliff |
| Gameplay role | Story-focused AI Chat NPC; can be pushed to Revered in one successful conversation |
| In‑game description | “The flower-picking girl often admires flowers around Crimson Cliff and has crossed paths with a blind woman who lives in seclusion in this area.” |
Like other Jianghu Friends, once she reaches Revered, she joins your Jianghu Friend roster and can send weekly gifts via the Old Friends system. Her exact gift set is not yet clearly documented, but she behaves like other Revered AI Chat NPCs in contributing to weekly rewards.
Yan Momo location and how to spot her
Yan Momo lives on Moonveil Mountain around Crimson Cliff, inside the broader Qinghe region. She is tied to the Crimson Cliff Boundary Stone and appears in a very specific scene:
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1. Reach Moonveil Mountain | Travel to the Moonveil Mountain area within Qinghe, then move toward the Crimson Cliff Landmark. |
| 2. Use Crimson Cliff markers | Look for the Crimson Cliff Boundary Stone; this is the reference point where she is listed. |
| 3. Look for the red tree | Yan Momo stands near a solitary red‑leaved tree, gathering leaves and examining flowers around its base. |
| 4. Initiate AI Chat | Walk up and interact to open her Jianghu Friend AI Chat window instead of standard dialogue. |
Visually, you’re looking for a girl kneeling among blossoms or standing beneath a striking red tree at Crimson Cliff, not a combat encounter or mini‑game prompt. If you get a Pitch Pot, fishing, or other mini‑game panel, you have the wrong NPC.
How Yan Momo’s AI Chat works
Yan Momo’s story is tightly focused on her mother and a “most beautiful flower in the world.” The AI Chat session progresses through several distinct beats:
| Conversation beat | What Yan Momo talks about | Your goal |
|---|---|---|
| Opening question | She is kneeling among blossoms and asks if you have ever seen the most beautiful flower in the world. | Answer in a way that validates the idea of a uniquely beautiful flower and shows interest. |
| Her mother’s self‑image | She explains that her mother loved flowers but called herself a “pothos woman”, plain yet full of life. | Reassure her that even “plain” flowers can be beautiful; avoid belittling or dismissive replies. |
| Illness and final wish | She recounts her mother’s long illness, death in winter, and the promise to become the pothos by the window. | Stay compassionate; acknowledge the loss and the comfort of that symbol rather than changing the subject. |
| Searching the hills | She explains that she now roams the hills each season, searching for the perfect bloom that embodies her mother. | Offer concrete help: a specific flower or a place where such a flower grows, and propose taking her there. |
| Journey to the flower | She responds eagerly if you suggest a real place and asks you to lead her there. | Describe guiding her to that place and letting her collect the flowers to bring home. |
| Resolution | She decides that her mother has become the most beautiful flower in the world and asks you to keep an eye out for her. | Affirm that you will help and close the loop; the conversation ends with Affection +100 and Revered status. |
Yan Momo’s Affection jump happens at the end of a coherent emotional arc, not at a single fixed line of text. You are steering an AI‑driven conversation toward a specific emotional conclusion: helping her accept that her mother’s wish has been fulfilled through the image of a perfect flower.
Example of a successful Yan Momo conversation
The dialogue below shows one way to phrase your side of the conversation that reliably works with her story beats. You do not need to copy these exact words, but the structure and intent are important.
| Yan Momo line | Sample player response | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| (Kneeling among blossoms) “Have you ever seen the most beautiful flower in the world?” | “Yes. To the north there’s a mountain where a single flower blooms each year, and everything else pales beside it.” | Confirms the idea of a singular, special flower and introduces a concrete place you can later guide her to. |
| She explains her mother’s love of flowers and calling herself a “pothos woman”. | “Even a pothos can be precious to someone. Beauty depends on who is looking.” | Reframes “plain” as quietly beautiful and supports her mother’s self‑image rather than rejecting it. |
| She recounts years of toil, illness, and the final promise to become the pothos by her window. | (Action style reply) “You gently show her a flower whose color and strength remind you of her mother.” | Switches to describing action, letting the AI understand that you are offering a symbolic “mother flower.” |
| She says the flower brings back memories and asks if such flowers grow elsewhere. | “I know a hillside where these blooms cover the rocks every year. I can lead you there.” | Offers a concrete journey and a larger, more vivid version of the same flower. |
| She asks you to take her. | (Action style reply) “After walking together for an hour, you bring her to that mountainside alive with flowers.” | Confirms the shared journey in narrative terms, helping the AI “commit” to the outcome. |
| She is moved, thanks you, and takes flowers home. | (Action style reply) “You watch as she picks a few blossoms to keep, telling her you’ll look for her mother’s flower wherever you travel.” | Closes the emotional loop and answers her request that you keep an eye out in future travels. |
At the end of this style of conversation, Yan Momo smiles, returns to her search among the blossoms, and your Affection jumps by 100, placing her straight into the Revered tier.
Alternative prompts players have reported
Because Yan Momo’s dialogue is powered by AI, multiple phrasing paths can work as long as they satisfy what the system judges to be her “win condition.” Players have reported a few notable triggers:
| Prompt type | Example | Outcome | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Specific flower name | Mentioning a flower called “Buddhas Tear” when she asks about the nicest or most beautiful flower. | Can immediately push Affection to 100 if the AI accepts it as the perfect flower she seeks. | Relies on the AI understanding the name in context; phrasing and timing still matter. |
| Compliment directed at her | Answering that you (i.e., Yan Momo herself) are the most beautiful sight on the hill. |
Sometimes grants the full Affection gain, if the AI reads it as a heartfelt, supportive answer. | Inconsistent; the same word may be ignored or interpreted differently in another run. |
| Mirror joke / teasing | Telling her to “look in the mirror” instead of naming a flower. | Can be taken as playful or rude depending on context; not a reliable way to reach Revered. | May derail the emotional arc or even nudge the AI toward a negative state. |
These prompts show how flexible the system is: it can reward romantic or flattering answers as well as poetic, story‑driven ones. However, the safest, most repeatable route is still to engage fully with her mother’s story and resolve it through the perfect flower image rather than leaning solely on a single clever line.
General tips for succeeding in Jianghu Friend AI Chat
The same tools that make Yan Momo approachable also exist for every other AI Chat Old Friend in Where Winds Meet. A few system‑level behaviors are worth leaning on:
| Mechanic | How it helps with Yan Momo |
|---|---|
| Refresh / reset conversation | If the dialogue meanders, stalls, or becomes unwinnable, you can hit the Refresh icon at the top of the chat box to start again from a clean state instead of trying to salvage a derailed exchange. |
| Combat failsafe | Some AI Chat NPCs can become hostile if you push them the wrong way. If that happens, returning to the login screen restores them to their original state when you next load in. |
| Hint text | Each AI Chat NPC has hint text that implies what outcome the system is trying to achieve (comfort, persuasion, courage, etc.). For Yan Momo, that goal is helping her resolve her feelings around her mother via the flower she seeks. |
| Personality matching | Jianghu Friends respond differently depending on type: scholars appreciate poetry, warriors respect pragmatism, and gentle characters like Yan Momo respond to empathy and reassurance. Tailor your tone accordingly. |
Why Yan Momo matters in the wider Jianghu Friend system
Yan Momo is a good early test of how Where Winds Meet wants you to treat AI Chat NPCs. She demonstrates several core ideas:
- Jianghu Friends are not only content gates; they are emotional stories embedded in the landscape.
- AI Chat rewards staying in character and engaging with an NPC’s backstory, not just clicking through options.
- A single, well‑handled conversation can grant maximum Affection, saving time compared with grind‑based systems.
- Each Revered Old Friend, including Yan Momo, contributes to your weekly Jianghu Friend reward pool.
Spending a few minutes helping a girl at Crimson Cliff find the flower that represents her mother is a small moment in a large open world, but it teaches the rhythm of AI‑driven Old Friends: listen to their problem, read the hint, speak to who they are, and only then look for clever shortcuts like named flowers or poetic lines.
