Where to find Gluttonous Monstrosity - Lu Hongliu in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

Lu Hongliu can be found at the Luo Courtyard near the Shu Sanctum during Chapter 1, Worship's Rise in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. To get there, take the left path through the village where you fight the Corrupted Tang officer mini-boss. You can either climb the ladder or walk over the broken bridge, which, although appearing to be damaged, will allow you to pass.

Pass through the village and head south till you come across some stairs where a gunner will be waiting with two dogs. Go past them, and you will find a building with a few enemies waiting for you. Pass through the door on the other side, but be careful, as a big enemy with a cannon will roll a boulder at you.

You can choose to fight and defeat him, but be careful, as he deals a lot of damage. After dealing with him, go to the first building to your right, and you will spot a ladder that will allow you to climb to the roof. Use the scaffolding to travel to the other side and descend down the ladder there.

You will come face to face with a feathered Troupe Dancer. Before you engage him, take a right turn and open the door before you, which will allow you to quickly travel here from the Shu Sanctum. Now, defeat the Dancer by luring him to the gunpowder pots scattered all around the area. You will get the Infernal Flames spell for doing so.

Go through the alleyways beside the opera house, and you will soon reach the Luo Courtyard. Don't head in yet, though, as there is a shortcut to unlock first. Take the path to your right, and you will find a glowing tree that you can break. This will allow you to travel directly between the Shu Sanctum and the Luo Courtyard, in case the fight against the Gluttonous Monstrosity - Lu Hongliu in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers goes wrong.
