Whence the Weeping might seem like a sidequest you're supposed to complete in Phantom Blade Zero 's first Weeping Creek Valley area, but it's actually a major quest that takes a significant portion of the game to finish. If you've just started and are here wondering if you've missed something: you haven't, and you don't need this guide right now.

It's also relatively straightforward—it's just that quest tracking isn't available for it until you progress further. I'll run through its steps below, but these will contain spoilers for how to access a later game region, so you might want to steer clear:

As you progress through the Crimson Forest (2nd region), you'll hear the weeping again, giving you a nav marker that coincides with the region boss, which provides a few more answers.

When you arrive in the Village of Lu (3rd region) and speak to Jewel about the weeping, she speculates that The Chord wants to tell you something, and you're directed to the northeast of Meigu Lake.

You'll have to progress through Pangzhen (4th region) and defeat its main boss in the west to get the Phantom Edge that unlocks the way to Meigu Lake via the north of the town.

In the northeast of Meigu Lake, you'll find a barrier that only the Illusory Pipa Phantom Edge can dispel—fixing it is a whole quest in itself, so see the linked guide for details.

Once fixed, dispel the barrier to enter the Mountain of Imprisonment region, progress to the region boss at the top of the mountain, and defeat it to complete the quest.
