Of all the areas in Phantom Blade Zero, the Mountain of Imprisonment is challenging because of the prerequisites you must meet to reach it. Luckily, those become clear as you play through the main story, but it's best to be fully prepared when you reach it so you're ready for what's to come. It's not the final area, but it's the penultimate one, so you'll want to be ready to take on a challenge when you reach the Mountain of Imprisonment. You'll face familiar enemies from the Weeping Creek Valley, but scaled up, so you'll need to be, too. Here's how to get to the Mountain of Imprisonment. Where Is The Mountain Of Imprisonment? On the Meigu Lake map, the Mountain of Imprisonment is on the northeast side of the water, but from the docks where you start, it's directly across the lake. You'll have to take the Sha Chi boat to get through this section of the map, and you can dock it at the various islands throughout the lake. You don't need to visit every island in Meigu Lake to unlock the Mountain of Imprisonment, but it'll help you gather resources and prepare. To get there, follow the marker for the Whence the Weeping quest line, which will take you directly to the mist barrier to reach the Mountain of Imprisonment. You can also follow the marker for the Pillars of Kunlun, since both quest markers will take you where you need to go. How Do You Get to the Mountain Of Imprisonment? To reach the Mountain of Imprisonment, first get to Meigu Lake. After you go through the city of Pangzhen and reach the Pavilion of Knowledge Crossroads bell, you'll find a dying man on the ground who tells you that, to get to the docks, you have to take the long staircase next to him. You don't need to pursue that immediately, but when you do, it'll take you right into Meigu Lake. From there, you'll need to use the Sha-Chi-powered boat to cross the lake, past Meigu Village and the White Serpent house. However, the main quest you need to complete is Illusory Pipa, because without that Phantom Edge, you won't be able to get past the mist barrier to get to the Mountain of Imprisonment. Because of this, you'll first need to go to the island with the Meigu Songhouse to fight Yan Qiansui, The Zither Maiden. Once you've beaten her, you can take the Pipa's strings to Myst's Tavern as long as you've also got the head, neck and body, and she can repair the Pipa for you. Only then can you clear the weeping mistgate and begin ascending the Mountain of Imprisonment.
