– Second Floor
On this floor, General Rat will not appear according to the author’s process on the map.
General Rat will only appear here if you miss the conversation of the rat country citizens in Shamencun Village.
However, in either case players can still obtain transformation, but if you miss the dialogue, you will need to defeat General Rat yourself (very easy difficulty).
Be careful of the ranged enemies at the top of the stairs on the second floor, dodge or use the staff.
There is a Ge Xun at the red circle after going up.
To the right of the red line is the main path.
In the room on the left of the blue line, you can find a coffin treasure chest. Keep going to the end, you can jump down to return to the first floor and find a treasure chest.
It is recommended to break the purple seal after defeating the Magic General and then go downstairs.
Then come back up from the first floor.
(If you really want to come over early, you can actually jump to the wall from the starting point on the first floor, then jump twice in the corner to reach the halfway point.)
Keep moving forward, on the right there is a room with a purple seal where you can find a treasure chest containing items like Bing Tie Sha and Linglong Dan.
There is also an elite Yaksa slave here that can absorb essence.
Even if you can’t break the seal, you can still absorb essence. Use the Ding Feng Zhu to attract the enemy, then slowly charge up your staff attack and absorb the essence after defeating them.
Be careful of ranged enemies on the opposite side when crossing the wooden bridge. If it’s difficult, you can use the Gathershape Dissipate technique to pass.
Turn right after crossing and go through two iron gates to reach the stairs leading to the third floor.
