When can you find the Panda in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers?

Before anything else, you’ll need to defeat the Man-Eating Dhutanga and pick up the Lightzen Key from him. He’s one of the main bosses in the early-game, and while the fight’s not easy, it’s very doable with patience and ranged magic. Try dodging until he commits to a charge, then punish him during his cooldown window to chip away at his Poise. Once his Poise Break meter fills up completely, you’ll be able to land a heavy blow and eventually take him down.

That Lightzen Key is what opens up the path to Shu Temple, and eventually, to the Panda himself.

How to reach the Panda in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

Once you’ve got the key, head back to the Lightzen Temple Shrine. Here’s the route from the Shrine to the Panda’s hideout:

1. Start at Lightzen Temple Shrine – Face the opposite direction from where you usually approach it.
2. Walk straight ahead – You’ll come across an area called Narrow Stretch.
3. Avoid the stairs in front of you. Instead, take the right-hand path.
4. Keep going; when you see stairs on your left, ignore them and continue straight.
5. Look for a three-way junction, then take the stairs going slightly forward and right.
6. Follow the path to its end. A cave will appear on the left.
7. Enter the cave. Inside, you’ll see a small staircase.
8. Climb up the stairs and you’ll find the Panda lying peacefully near a bonfire.

What does the Panda do?

The Panda doesn’t speak, but it does offer trades. Once you’ve caught Bamboo Shoots, you can bring them here. The Panda lets you trade them for special items, including Divine Ward, a handy spell that temporarily reduces incoming damage.

If you’ve been wondering what those Bamboo Shoots are for, this is one of the purposes.
