How to Unlock the Inkwell Fan in Where Winds Meet

Unlocking the Inkwell Fan in Where Winds Meet requires a combination of sneaking, careful preparation, and a final showdown with the Sanctum’s master. This unique martial art lets you repel enemies, control space, and even block incoming projectiles with ease.

Where to Find the Inkwell Fan

The Inkwell Fan is hidden inside the Inkwell Fan Sanctum, located in the upper region of Qinghe. Your objective is to infiltrate the sanctum, locate the Master, and successfully perform a Skill Theft on him to obtain the martial art.

Keep in mind that the journey involves dealing with guards, collecting chests, and navigating hidden passages.

Prerequisites for Unlocking the Inkwell Fan

• Touch of Death Mystic Art: You will need this ability to silently eliminate certain guards. It is unlocked through the The Realm Endures side story.
• Dragon Key: Required to enter the hidden passage by interacting with the Loong Herm Dragon Pillar. Note that using the key consumes it.
• Map of Qinghe: Grab the map from the fire icon in Qinghe to help navigation.

Step-by-Step Guide to Unlock the Inkwell Fan

1. Travel to the Inkwell Fan Sanctum.
   Head to the northern part of Qinghe and interact with the Loong Herm Dragon Pillar at the entrance. This will consume your Dragon Key and open the hidden passage into the Sanctum.
2. Enter the canyon and start clearing guards.
   Move forward until you encounter groups of Militiamen. Stay close to the left wall to slip past the first two guards. Take out the third Militiaman who is hiding behind a tall rock on your right. Then, climb the right wall to reach an elevated platform and quietly eliminate the two Militiamen near the first chest.
3. Collect the next two chests.
   Cross the nearby bridge and look for a climbable rock formation on the right. Climb it and head down to the second chest. Then, turn left, climb up again, and reach the third chest.
4. Return to the Save Point for the fourth chest.
   Head back to the first Save Point and drop into the nearby hole, which leads directly to the fourth chest.
5. Climb back up and clear two more guards.
   After collecting the fourth chest, climb the ladder on the right. Cross the bridge, silently assassinate the Militiaman near the ledge, and collect the fifth chest next to the mound. The path back up is guarded by two more Militiamen—take down the left one first, then the second when he looks away.
6. Reach the final chest.
   Follow the left-hand path into a room guarded by two enemies. Get past them to find the last chest on your left.
7. Confront the Master.
   Move into the final chamber where the Master awaits. To unlock the Inkwell Fan Martial Art, approach him carefully and complete a successful Skill Theft.

Once you have completed these steps, the Inkwell Fan will be officially yours to use.
