Synopsis

Jinming Pool is the longest single Campaign mission by playtime. The player waits at Baojin Tower for the Shen/You hour, delivers invitations to Murong Yuan's guests, observes five marked points around the Pool, and infiltrates the Quintadent Warship to recover Wooden Eagle fragments. The boss fight has two phases: Murong Yuan solo, then Murong Yuan summoning and mounting the Wooden Eagle for aerial-ground combined attacks. Completion seeds a Wandering Tale follow-up - Soaring Eagle, with a day-long cooldown.

Gameplay Notes

Espionage + boss-fight hybrid; the espionage half is the bulk of the runtime. Phase-2 Wooden Eagle changes Murong Yuan's hitbox and adds an aerial vector - track the eagle's swoop tells, don't fixate on the rider. Moderate-to-hard tuning.
