How to free Mythical deer in Where Winds Meet

Freeing the Mythical deer in Where Winds Meet is tied to the Lost Cause Prayers questline, a slow-burn side story that blends exploration, ritual timing, and a bit of patience. The game does not spell things out clearly, so it’s easy to miss steps or think something bugged out when it didn’t.

On that note, here is how you can free the Mythical deer in Where Winds Meet.

How to rescue Mythical Deer in Where Winds Meet

Before anything else, the Lost Cause quest (Gleaming Abyss) must be active. To start it, you need to do the following in Twinbeast Ridge:

• Collect the Village Chief’s Notes
• Speak to Lu Sheng near Tiger Fort

Once you do this, the quest officially starts. If you explore a little west of Tiger Fort at this point, you’ll also spot the Mythical deer bound by vines, which confirms you’re on the right track.

Plant the Longevity Fruit Seed

This quest has three key items involved: two Longevity Fruits and one Longevity Fruit Seed. Start with the seed.

• Go back to Lu Sheng’s location near Tiger Fort
• In front of him is a small dirt plot
• Step onto the mound and interact when prompted
• Select the Longevity Fruit Seed

The seed will be planted, but it won’t grow immediately. You’ll need to complete the offerings first before returning here.

You need two Longevity Fruits, each found in a different location. The first one is located at the Wraith Village, while the latter is near Gleaming Abyss. You can follow our guide to find them. Once both fruits are collected, you’re ready for the ritual.

Make offerings at the shrines

Timing matters here. You can only make offerings after midnight, so check the in-game clock and skip time if needed.

Shrine location 1

• Head to the southwestern area of Twinbeast Ridge
• From Tiger Fort, keep moving southwest toward the shoreline
• Look for a fire pit beside a large boulder
• Place one Longevity Fruit at the interaction point

Shrine location 2

• Travel southwest of Tiger Fort, then move northeast from the first shrine
• You’ll find another fire pit and boulder setup
• Place the second Longevity Fruit here

Once both fruits are offered, they’re consumed by the ritual.

Return to the Longevity Fruit tree

Now head back to the dirt plot near Lu Sheng.

• The planted seed has grown into a tree
• Speak to the passerby standing underneath it

He’ll mock you for believing in the Mythical deer in Where Winds Meet, but this is just narrative flavor. You’ve already seen the deer yourself.

Go back to the spot west of Tiger Fort where the deer was previously tied up.

• The deer is no longer there
• Investigate the vines that once restrained it

This confirms the Mythical deer in Where Winds Meet has been freed. You didn’t miss anything, and nothing glitched; just the ritual worked.
