There are 7 Benediction Gates in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. Finding all Benediction Gate Locations unlocks the Discerning Eye trophy & achievement.
They are big yellow gates, not to be confused with the 3 red riddle gates. The first one appears in Cloudspire Outskirts. Each of these gates rewards you a benediction item immediately when opening it. The 3 red riddle gates don’t count towards this.
Everything in the first region Worship’s Rise is missable. This region becomes unavailable after talking to the Storyteller in Region 3: Mt. Zhenwu – Zhenwu Altar. They don’t carry over into New Game+.
To get all collectible types and trophies in one playthrough, follow our guide by area:
Benediction Gate #1 (Sheng – Lethal Might)
Cloudspire – Cloudspire Outskirts
To the immediate right of Cloudspire Outskirts shrine will be a shortcut gate. If you’ve already opened it from the other side you can go through and the yellow benediction gate will be to the left.
If you haven’t opened the shortcut yet: from Cloudspire Outskirts shrine turn around 180°, take the snowy path on the right leading further uphill. At the end of the path is a little open house, inside climb up the short ladder to the area with the 2nd corruption pillar (spawns exploding enemies). Here take the right path, then turn right to go through a big wooden gate. Go straight until reaching an area with cannons and explosive jars, here go down the right path to reach the other side of the the shortcut gate. Directly to the side of the shortcut gate is the benediction gate. Would be hard to miss it.
Benediction Gate #2 (Shan – Blight Ward)
Mt. Zhenwu – Zhenwu Antechamber
After defeating the main boss “South General – Liu Wenxiu” (can’t miss him), follow the scaffolding up to the top floors of the towers you will have went through on the way to the boss. After progressing across the lever platforms you will reach an elevator which you should be sure to activate. Very close to the elevator, off the edge of the building is an invisible floor leading to the Benediction Gate. It’s indicated by the green/yellow orbs floating in the sky. If you fall down, can use the elevator to get back here fast.
Benediction Gate #3 (Fa – Corruptive Feathers)
Worship’s Rise in Ruins – Shu Sanctum
Worship’s Rise in Ruins is the 4th region in the game, reached after Mt. Zhenwu (not the regular Worship’s Rise from the start of the game). Progress in the region until you get to Shu Sanctum, which is in the same place as it was in the 1st region. From Shu Sanctum shrine go up one floor and leave over the side path on the roof, then go uphill where an enemy rolls a rock at you. Behind this enemy go down the path on the right, it leads to the palace area with a glowing pillar and big enemy. Go up the stairs directly behind the glowing pillar and follow the linear path to find the gate at the end.
Benediction Gate #4 (Shi – Blood Ward)
Bo Capital – Capital Entrance
From Capital Entrance shrine, turn around 180°, turn slightly left and enter the cave opening in front of you. At the end of the cave take the elevator down (step on the pressure plate). It leads to a big open area with monsters fighting. In the middle of the area is a tall white tree. To the left of the white tree, go up the stairs and drop down the other end. This leads to a dead-end with a big monster and you can open the Benediction Gate from that side.
Benediction Gate #5 (Wei – Blood Force)
Bo Capital – Depths of the Capital
From the shrine turn around 180°, then follow the left path to find a yellow lever. Activate it, you’ll get a short cutscene where two gates open in that same area. A big dragon will spawn on the other side of the area who shoots a red laser at you. When standing at the yellow lever and looking in the direction of the dragon enemy, turn right and go through the now-open gate you activated with the lever. On that path is a Bamboozling and the Benediction Gate. The path opposite of the one that takes you up an elevator.
Benediction Gate #6 (Bu – Combo Ward)
Bo Capital – Depths of the Capital
From the shrine turn around 180°, then follow the left path to find a yellow lever. Activate it, you’ll get a short cutscene where two gates open in that same area. A big dragon will spawn on the other side of the area who shoots a red laser at you. When standing at the yellow lever and looking in the direction of the dragon enemy, turn left and go through the now-open gate you activated with the lever. On that path is a small enemy shooting ranged projectiles at you and an elevator. Go up the elevator. It leads to a path with a skull shooting Despair projectiles at you. Take the right path to pull another yellow lever.
This makes new platforms appear directly in front of this lever, leading back to an earlier area that led to the Depths of the Capital shrine. Go over these platforms, you’ll see a big gray bird enemy, at this enemy turn left and go over the red roots, then immediately look to the right to see yellow/green orbs floating in the air. These are an invisible bridge.
Walk over this invisible bridge to reach a cave. In the cave go right to find the final Benediction Gate.
Benediction Gate #7 (Sheng – Skyborn Rejuvination)
Bo Capital – Depths of the Capital
Return to the previous yellow lever you pulled for Benediction Gate #6 (the area up the elevator). This time, take the left path towards the Despair shooting skull. Just before the skull, go up the right path until you walk over a red root. While on the red root you must drop down (this is just before 3 big enemies sitting at a dead-end and praying).
Dropping down here leads to another yellow lever, pull it to disable the Despair skull. This will move platforms to the dead-end where the 3 big enemies are praying. So go back up the path where you dropped down the red root – but this time don’t drop down and just follow the path past the 3 big enemies. You can now go over the newly created bridge to reach the final Benediction Gate and the Panda beside it. The Panda now sells a Lustrous Red Feather for 5 Bamboo Shoots for the final weapon upgrade.
That’s all of the Benediction Gates and will unlock the Discerning Eye trophy & achievement.
