Spoiler warning and source scope
Late-region access spoilers follow. This route paraphrases Sean Martin’s PC Gamer walkthrough published October 29, 2026. It is a single-source account, not our playtest. Whence the Weeping spans much of the game; lack of early quest tracking alone does not mean you missed its solution.
Early crying: Weeping Creek Valley, Crimson Forest and Jewel
PC Gamer says the crying first appears in Weeping Creek Valley, but tracking arrives later. In Crimson Forest, the second region, hearing it again produces a marker that overlaps the region boss. In the Village of Lu, the third region, speak to Jewel about the crying; she directs you toward northeastern Meigu Lake. Do not expect to finish the quest in the opening valley.
Meigu Lake access and the Illusory Pipa barrier
According to PC Gamer, continue through Pangzhen, the fourth region, and defeat its main boss in the west to obtain the Phantom Edge that opens the route to Meigu Lake north of town. The barrier in northeastern Meigu Lake requires the Illusory Pipa. Repairing that instrument is a separate quest; this PC Gamer walkthrough does not detail the required parts, locations or repair steps.
Completion: Mountain of Imprisonment
PC Gamer says that once the Illusory Pipa is repaired, dispel the barrier, enter the Mountain of Imprisonment, reach the boss at the mountain’s top and defeat it to complete Whence the Weeping. The checked article does not establish rewards, failure triggers, missability, trophy dependencies or exact boss tactics. Do not treat this route as a guarantee that any earlier failed quest can be recovered.
