Complete guide to mastering the Furnace of Righteousness quest with stealth strategies and boss tactics
Quest Overview and Rewards
The Furnace of Righteousness represents a pivotal Campaign quest within Where Winds Meet’s main narrative arc. This mission involves uncovering clandestine secrets, executing a dangerous furnace infiltration, and confronting the formidable Black God of Avarice, also known as the Black God of Wealth. Successful completion yields substantial rewards including Commerce Coins for economic progression, Exploration EXP to enhance your traversal capabilities, and Enlightenment Points for character development.
Pro Tip: Before initiating this quest, ensure your character has adequate healing items and combat preparations, as several sections prevent backtracking to merchants. The stealth sequences particularly benefit from upgraded mobility skills.
Initial Phase: Infiltration and Stealth
Begin by carefully evading all government patrols while following Yingying until you reunite with her mother and accompanying allies. Stealth is paramount here – utilize environmental cover and time your movements between guard patrol patterns.
After exiting the building to confront Lord Shi, strategically defeat his soldiers using terrain advantages. The courtyard area provides excellent opportunities for isolating enemies rather than facing them simultaneously.
Navigate to the Safety Place following quest markers and engage with Little Lu, Little Fu, and Little Shou. Then mobilize the commoners to perform ballads as Yingying requests – this diversion creates crucial opportunities for later infiltration.
Eavesdrop on nearby NPC groups before proceeding westward to locate the convoy. Common Mistake: Rushing this eavesdropping often causes players to miss vital contextual clues about guard rotations.

Utilize rooftop leaping points and street lamps to access the Cuju Field and successfully board the wagon. Mastering the timing between leaps prevents detection from below.
Dungeon Exploration and Key Acquisition
Follow quest markers to evade soldiers and locate an exit while maintaining complete stealth. Critical objective: reach the watchtower summit undetected to identify Yingying’s rescue route. The elevated position reveals patrol patterns essential for subsequent sections.
Infiltrate the attic to eavesdrop on soldiers before engaging them to acquire the furnace dungeon map. Advanced Tactics: Eliminate guards silently using stealth takedowns to prevent alerting reinforcements.
Exit via window and follow markers to escape the military camp. Engaging all soldiers is strongly discouraged – the numerical disadvantage makes direct combat extremely challenging.
Descend the wall and proceed to the dungeon entrance without detection. Follow markers into a building containing stairs leading underground.
Conceal yourself behind walls to monitor soldier conversations before neutralizing both guards. Attempt to open the dungeon gate reveals it requires a specific key.
Ascend stairs, exit the structure, and enter the western building to locate the key-carrying guard. Shadow him upstairs silently and execute Celestial Seize to obtain the key undetected. Return to the dungeon gate stealthily and unlock it.

Furnace Interior and Puzzle Solving
Progress deeper into dungeon corridors until reaching a compact chamber featuring an elevator mechanism. Activate it to descend to lower levels.
Communicate with the imprisoned NPC before entering the far right cell, triggering a cinematic sequence where the Dao Lord trio successfully traps you.
Pursue the trio until accessing an expansive chamber overflowing with gold reserves. Thoroughly search all chests within the area before examining documents on the central table.
Interact with the candle stand apparatus then kneel before the adjacent shelf to discover a hidden mechanism. Exploration Tip: Missing these interactive elements prevents progression – examine every suspicious object carefully.
Proceed through the revealed doorway and advance along the tunnel until reaching another massive chamber containing the mystical money tree. After the cutscene concludes, inspect the tree to analyze Yingying’s clothing remnants.
Follow the trio upstairs to exit the dungeon complex structure.
Boss Battle: Black God of Avarice
Upon dungeon exit, defeat Jin Huo and employ leaping abilities to evacuate the area efficiently.
Traverse railings while closely pursuing the Dao Lord trio until reaching the docks. Await Dao Lord’s signal before furnace entry authorization.
Follow the feline guide to the wooden platform near the furnace pillar. Then leap onto containers for vertical progression.
Continue following the cat until encountering soldier groups and secretly board the freight elevator. Timing Critical: The gate must be opened before the patrolling soldier completes his rotation.

Execute on-screen prompt commands within designated time limits to evade pursuit and ascend the tower summit.
Scale the tower peak and activate the mechanism for furnace re-entry, transporting you to an enormous chamber containing massive gold coin quantities. Numerous treasure chests scattered throughout contain additional currency – loot them before chamber departure.
Confront the God of Avarice in an intense three-phase combat encounter. Unlike standard bosses, he transforms dramatically: two phases maintain regular proportions while the final phase enlarges him tremendously. Strategy Essential: Use ranged bow attacks to target the “eye” emblem on his staff – this weak point represents the only effective damage method during his giant form.
Quest Completion and Advanced Strategies
Regroup with Big Zhao before visiting Granny’s residence to meet Yingying for final questioning sessions. This interaction sequence concludes the Furnace of Righteousness Campaign quest in Where Winds Meet.
Optimization Techniques: Skilled players can reduce completion time by 30% through perfected stealth routes and boss pattern memorization. The money tree chamber contains hidden loot many players overlook – thoroughly investigate surrounding areas.
Common Pitfalls: Many players struggle with the freight elevator timing – practice the interaction sequence beforehand. During the boss fight, conserve healing items for the final phase where damage intake increases significantly.
