Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Worship's Rise walkthrough (Complete Chapter 1 guide)

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers begins with its first chapter, Worship's Rise. You play as Bai Wuchang, who awakens in a cave beneath a massive Buddha statue without any memory of her past. Clueless about what’s happening, you make your way out of the cave and step into a misty area when a bright light strikes. There, you encounter a mysterious figure who hands you a sword. As soon as you take it, the blinding light flashes again, and you find yourself back outside the cave.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Worship's Rise Chapter 1 walkthrough

Reverent Temple

The area where you first wake up is called the Burning Cave. As you begin exploring, you'll come across a structure known as the Reverent Temple. Head inside to meet several important characters who provide crucial information about the world, and even about yourself.

Once inside, make your way down the stairs. The first character you'll encounter is Xuanyangzi, who tells you about the mysterious Feathering Illness. He was the one who treated you, as you’re also afflicted by it. Be sure to exhaust all dialogue options with him to learn more about the temple, the illness, and Xuanyangzi’s background.

On the same floor, you’ll meet Qiao Lin, another sufferer of the Feathering Illness who appears to be in worse condition. Continue downstairs to find Yu Xia, who will also speak with you. During your conversation, you’ll be asked to visit the Shu Sanctum to uncover more about the illness.

The final character that you find inside the temple is Tao Qing, a merchant who asks you to retrieve a stolen item for him.

Now, head outside, and you'll find a Shrine on the right. Offer blood to the shrine; it serves as a checkpoint and allows you to upgrade your abilities and stats. As you proceed down the stairs, you’ll spot the character Boatman sitting by a fire on the right. Interact with him, and he’ll send you into a dream where you must face a boss named Bai Kru.

Once you defeat Bai Kru, you’ll be transported back to the shrine. From here, go down the stairs again to find the exit near where you previously met the boatman. Head right and continue along the path until you encounter a character named He Youzai, who reveals that you're here in search of your sister, Bai Yu.

Continue along the path, defeating enemies as you go. Eventually, you'll come across the Red-Clad Lady, sitting on a rock. Speak with her, then proceed via the wooden platform structure. At the top, you’ll find the second shrine: Buddha Cliffs.

As you move forward, you’ll soon come across a Shrine. Just beside it, you will find a character named Wu Gang. You can choose to help him or leave him be.

Take time to explore the temple grounds. There’s plenty of loot to collect and enemies to defeat. Once done, look near the Shrine for a flight of stairs and an entrance. Head through it to reach a new section.

Defeat the enemies inside. On your right, you’ll find a chest. Now, go to the main temple structure you saw upon first entering the area. Head around to the other side of the temple to find the entrance. Inside, you’ll find the Golden Bowl.

Shu Sanctum

Proceed up the stairs past Nian Suichang. You’ll come to a fork: a flat path to the right and a staircase to the left. Take the left path up the stairs. Here, you’ll find a locked structure where an unknown person speaks to you from inside. Converse with him, and he will hand you a Raven Pill.

After that, continue past the locked door. You’ll now have two route options: left and right. It’s recommended to take the right route first, as the left one has several formidable enemies. The right path also leads to a Shrine, so activate it before progressing further.

Once the Shrine is activated, you can explore the left route. As you move forward, you’ll notice the main path is blocked. Look for the first building on the right, go around it, and you’ll find a ladder. Climb up and proceed forward.

Before engaging the boss, it’s highly recommended to explore the area to level up and gather resources. Once ready, return to the same red building and head to the top floor. Open the door to trigger a boss battle against the Feathered Priest – Lu Bingzhang.

Continue forward until you see a small temple blocked by boxes. As you approach, an enemy will burst through the entrance. Defeat it and enter the temple. At the end, you’ll find a key item: the Buddha Statue.
