🗺️ Lost Sword of Guhua Location #1: The Northern Mountain

The first clue starts near Chizhang Wall. Your journey begins at the Statue of The Seven on Chizhang Wall. Once you teleport in, simply turn around and head up the mountain directly behind you. No complex puzzles here, just a straightforward climb!

The sword is waiting at the top, overlooking the valley. It's a great introduction to the hunt and offers a fantastic view. Don't forget to interact with it and read the inscription to start piecing together the tale.

🏔️ Lost Sword of Guhua Location #2: The Peak of Chiwang Terrace

Alright, this one requires a bit of prep work! The second sword is hidden in Chiwang Terrace, but you can't just waltz in. You must progress a good way through the 'Chenyu's Blessings of Sunken Jade' world quest to unlock this area. Once you have access, head to the northernmost part.

Pro Tip: Teleport to the highest waypoint in Chiwang Terrace and then make your way to the absolute highest peak in the north. It's a bit of a climb, but the view (and the chest) is worth it!

⛰️ Lost Sword of Guhua Location #3: The Easy Grab at Mt. Xuanlian

Feeling lazy? This one's for you! This is arguably the easiest sword to find. Simply teleport to the waypoint at Mt. Xuanlian. As soon as you load in, turn left (about 90 degrees) and look for the nearest tall mountain. Glide straight over to it!

The Ancient Swordman's Inscription is sitting right on top, no fuss, no muss. A quick in-and-out treasure run!

🎣 Lost Sword of Guhua Location #4: The Yaodie Valley Leap

Time to use some local traversal tech! For the fourth sword, teleport to Yaodie Valley. When you arrive, turn right and look down the cliff in front of you. You'll need to use the Golden Carp's Leap mechanic to quickly ascend the opposite mountain.

This method is much faster than climbing. The sword is perched on this mountain, waiting for a traveler skilled enough to make the leap. It feels super satisfying to pull off!

📜 Lost Sword of Guhua Location #5: The Quest-Locked Finale

The fifth and final sword is special—it's part of a story. You can only find this one after completing the 'Swords and Scrolls Manuals of Guhua' world quest. This questline itself is a deep dive into the clan's history and is totally worth doing.
