WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is a challenging soulslike set in the scenic land of Shu during the late Ming Dynasty, with a mysterious plague of sorts threatening all of its people. This disease, coined The Feathering, sees folk growing feathers and turning into monstrous beings as it consumes them. Our afflicted protagonist, Wuchang, seeks to find answers and put a stop to the terrifying sickness.
As a result, you find yourself exploring this beautiful landscape packed with threats, with a dozen tools at your fingertips to enhance Wuchang’s arsenal of gear and settle on a fun but versatile playstyle that works for you. To help you with that though, or in case you’re not sure where to go next, here’s our WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers walkthrough and guides.

WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers walkthrough
Here’s what you need to do – step by step – to progress through the story in WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers. We’ve left some instructions intentionally vague here as to encourage you to explore the picturesque land of Shu for yourself (and because much of WUCHANG is linear), but here are the areas you’ll need to visit, items you’ll need to find, and bosses you’ll need to defeat.
- Go to Reverent Temple and speak to the Boatman, fight Bai Kru. You do not need to beat them.
- Go to Lightzen Temple, defeat the Master Raider, Man-eating Dhutanga to receive the Lightzen Key.
- Use the Lightzen Key on the wooden door adjacent to the Lightzen Temple Shrine and make your way to Shu Sanctum.
- [Optional] Visit the villages near Shu Sanctum, and defeat the Gluttonous Monstrosity.
- Defeat the Feathered Priest in the Shu Sanctum to retrieve the Shu Sanctum Key.
- Use the Shu Sanctum Key and descend through the mines to reach the Bandit’s Cave.
- Defeat the Blightweaver and enter Doomwillow Beach.
Our walkthrough of WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers concludes with the Blightweaver for now as to avoid any mid-to-late-game spoilers for players. We’ll update this page soon with more details on the later half of the game.
