The side quest “Woven with Malice” involves uncovering the secrets surrounding the Celestial Silk Garment, which is said to be as light as silk but as strong as steel. Here’s how to start and complete the quest step by step.
Starting Woven with Malice
Go to the northeast of Buddha Fort in Sundara Land, Qinghe, and speak with the Scholar. After talking to him, wait one in-game day for the quest to activate.

After waiting, return to the Scholar and speak with him again. Then, wait another full day. He will be trapped inside a bell; talk to him afterward, and he will direct you to a nearby village. Follow the quest marker and speak with Little Needle there. Collect a blue dye, red dye, and charcoal ash, then give these items to her. Wait one in-game day for her to finish her work, and then bring the finished garment back to the Scholar.
Listen in on his conversation, approach the bell to assess his condition, and pick up a handkerchief. Watch the cutscene that follows, then head south to meet Monk Tranquillus.
Confronting the Monk and uncovering the truth
Speak with Monk Tranquillus, then engage in a duel against him twice. Afterward, find the second handkerchief a short distance northwest and show it to Monk Tranquillus. Talk to Little Needle, then burn the vines blocking the cave entrance with a fire arrow and speak with her again. Inform Monk Tranquillus about the trap, hide and wait for the right moment.
Chase the mysterious woman, then hurry back to Monk Tranquillus to receive a letter from him. Speak with Little Needle again, and then proceed to the Northern Bamboo Grove, which can be accessed using the Bamboo Grove Boundary Stone for quicker travel. Once there, speak with Little Needle, then with the stranger. Show him your handkerchiefs, then talk to him again. Steal the Boss’s Secret Letter from the stranger’s cart using Celestial Seize and investigate the ruins by breaking through the floor with Mighty Drop.
Eavesdropping and the final steps
Investigate the nearby cliff wall, using Wind Sense in the forest to spot some gawking passersby. Find the glowing spot nearby and stand there to eavesdrop on their conversation. Run to warn Little Needle, but be prepared—you’ll be knocked out. Upon waking, listen to the Pavilion Owner’s advice and press the button during the quick time event to warn the others of the ambush.
Watch the subsequent cutscene, thank the strangers for helping you, then speak with Little Needle one last time to complete the quest.
