How to Get the Old Rattle-Drum
Defeat the Tiger's Acolyte
To get the Old Rattle-Drum, you will need to beat the Tiger's Acolyte. He can be found near the Windrest Hamlet Shrine. Starting from the Shrine, just head straight and follow the path until you reach a windy and dusty bridge.
The Tiger's Acolyte has relative low HP compared to other bosses but deals high damage. Moreover, you can fall from the bridge and die, so be careful when fighting along the edges of the bridge.
How to Use the Old Rattle-Drum
Only Used in 3 Locations
| Locations |
|---|
| 1. Windseal Gate, Yellow Wind Formation |
| 2. Windrest Hamlet, Yellow Wind Formation |
| 3. Village Entrance, Sandgate Village |
The Old Rattle-Drum can only be used in three locations. You'll know when you're in the right spot when the screen desaturates and you get a prompt to use the drum.
Windseal Gate, Yellow Wind Formation
Starting from the Windseal Gate, Yellow Wind Formation Shrine, just head straight and follow the path, then cross the rope bridge. After crossing the bridge, go to left side where there are logs and enter the area there.
Upon entering that area, your screen will turn grey. Keep exploring the area until you're prompted to use the Old-Rattle Drum. Afterwards, the corpses in the area will come alive and attack. Just defeat them before going to the next location.
Windrest Hamlet, Yellow Wind Formation
Starting from the Windseal Hamlet, Yellow Wind Formation Shrine, turn around, follow the path downwards, and enter the village. Once inside the village, head to the left side until your screen turns gray, then use the Old Rattle-Drum when prompted.
Afterwards, the corpses in the area will come alive again and attack so just kill them once more and move on to the next area.
Village Entrance, Sandgate Village
Starting from the Village Entrance, Sandgate Village Shrine, cross the bridge, then head towards the right side and enter the village. Once inside the village, just stay close to the left side and follow it until you see an opening to a large area, which is where the Earth Wolf boss is located.
Upon reaching the area, head towards the area where the Horse Guai was tied up, then move towards the left side that leads to a well. Go further into the area until your screen turns grey, then use the Old Rattle-Drum when prompted.
If you've defeated the Earth Wolf and opened the gate there before getting the Old-Rattle Drum, you can just head straight into the area through the gate instead of going inside the village.
Beat the Mad Tiger to Complete the Quest
After using the Old Rattle-Drum for the third time, a cutscene will trigger and you'll need to jump down the well to continue the quest. Once you've fallen down, you'll start a boss fight with the Mad Tiger, and beating him will complete this quest.
