How to Start Bounty Trouble
After finishing Chapter 1, fast travel to Riverside Station in the Qinghe Moonveil Mountain region. Near the bounty board, you’ll find a crying elderly man surrounded by people. Approach him and he’ll explain that kidnappers from the Unbound Cavern have taken his grandson, begging for your help.
Accept his plea to officially trigger the quest in your Lost Chapter menu under Worldly Affairs.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1. Check the Bounty Board
Interact with the bounty board near the crying elder to receive the location of the supposed kidnappers. The quest marker will guide you to a ruined temple.
2. Travel to the Ruined Temple
Follow your quest marker to find an abandoned house at the marked location. Don’t rush inside—you’ll need to approach strategically.
3. Climb to the Roof
Instead of entering through the door, climb onto the roof of the abandoned house. This triggers a cutscene that reveals you’ve been tricked—there’s no grandson, and this leads you into the Ghostlight Market.

4. Explore Ghostlight Market (Optional)
Once inside the supernatural Ghostlight Market, you can choose to explore this underground area or return to the overworld by speaking with the Nine Mortal Ways disciple near the Boundary Stone.
To fully complete March of the Dead and maximize rewards, set your in-game time to Mao hour before proceeding. This triggers the March of the Dead quest properly.
5. Return to Riverside Station
After completing your Ghostlight Market exploration (or immediately if you skip it), return to Riverside Station where the quest began.
6. Speak with Constable Chen (Final Step)
Upon your return, you’ll discover the crying elder has disappeared. Instead, Constable Chen stands near the bounty board. Talk to him to learn the shocking truth—you fell victim to a classic Unbound Cavern scam!
The “kidnapped grandson” story was entirely fabricated to lure heroes into the Ghostlight Market. Constable Chen removes the fraudulent bounty board, and your quest concludes with full rewards despite being duped.
The Surprising Twist
According to Game8, Bounty Trouble teaches players an important lesson about the dangers of Jianghu—not every crying elder tells the truth. The quest cleverly subverts expectations while still rewarding players for their heroic intentions.
What Unlocks After Completion
Completing Bounty Trouble grants access to March of the Dead, a Jianghu Legacy quest that takes you deeper into the Ghostlight Market’s mysteries. This follow-up quest offers additional rewards including the Trapped Beast Inner Way ability.
The Ghostlight Market itself becomes an accessible location with unique vendors, collectibles, and lore entries that expand your understanding of Where Winds Meet’s supernatural elements.
FAQs
Q: Do I need to complete March of the Dead before finishing Bounty Trouble?
A: No, March of the Dead is optional. You can complete Bounty Trouble by simply returning to Riverside Station and speaking with Constable Chen after entering the Ghostlight Market. However, exploring March of the Dead unlocks valuable rewards like the Trapped Beast Inner Way, making it worthwhile to complete both quests together.
Q: What time should I set for the March of the Dead quest?
A: Set your in-game time to Mao hour in the Ghostlight Market to properly trigger the March of the Dead quest. This ensures the Spectral Soldiers’ Procession appears correctly. You can adjust time through the game’s time-changing mechanic available at Boundary Stones or through your menu.
