The World of Kungfu: Dragon and Eagle Act 1 Walkthrough

The World of Kungfu: Dragon and Eagle is a popular RPG based on Wuxia with an intricate storyline and lots of stuff to explore. But it can be quite confusing to progress through the plot if you don’t know what to do.

Beginner’s Guide To The World of Kungfu: Dragon and Eagle

So. to help you complete the story and make progress, we’ve compiled this in-depth walkthrough of Act 1 of The World of Kungfu: Dragon and Eagle’s gameplay. This guide covers every location, key items, enemies, and more to ensure you have all the information to progress successfully.

Temple of Grand Tutor Yang

Your journey begins at the Temple of Grand Tutor Yang. This area is filled with items and also introduces you to combat and decision-making mechanics. So, to make sure you don’t miss out on anything, here are all the things you should know, including the loot spots:

• Right Corpse: 30 coins.
• Left Corpse: 33 coins.
• Left Barrel: 1 Steamed Pie.
• Well (SPD ≥30): Heavy Ancient Sword. (One of the Ten Great Weapons)

Key Locations and Items

Here are all the loot spots inside the Temple at that place:

• Behind the Statue: 404 coins.
• Left Barrels: 1 Cardamom Drink and 1 Honey Cake.
• Right Jars: 1 Dry Good Drink and 24 coins.
• Merit Box: Steal for 200 coins (first attempt) and 300 coins with -1 MOR (second attempt).

Main Events

1. First Battle: Defeat the attacker inside the temple.
2. Old Men’s Duel: Choose between two Kungfu techniques:
   • Sword on a Platter
   • Fist of the Spirit Fox

Your choice would influence the future Kungfu techniques that you can learn but have minimal immediate impact. Personally, Sword on a Platter would be a good choice if you have high INT stats while the latter is better for high STR stats. Apart from that, if you tap on the Incense Box, you’ll get five choices, so here are some of the good ones to choose from:

• The third choice grants a weapon with enhanced stats but a 10% INTOX chance.
• The fourth choice provides XP-boosting armor, sacrificing 1 INT.
• The fifth choice offers a late-game useful trait related to stealing.

The best choice arguably would be the second choice which gives you 2 extra Talent Points (TP) to use on your character. This is great, especially for your first playthrough.

Recruitment

You also have the choice to recruit one NPC from this spot. To recruit Goldie, the stray dog outside the temple, you need a Lamb Bun. Avoid the Aloof option when interacting with him.

Goldie is a beast character with high MOR stats, so you can keep him on your team for triggering specific MOR check events. You can find Lamb Buns to recruit him from Xiangyang City by completing Madam Feng’s Quiz.

Xiangyang Area

Once you complete exploring the Temple, you can exit the area to open the World Map. You can press M to access the World Map which allows you to Fast Travel. We’ve provided a complete map of all the POIs (Points of Interest) in the Xiangyang Area.

Collectibles

There are quite a few collectibles that you can collect on the area map. While these might not be as lucrative as what you might normally find, they can be good for early game progress.

• Flowers: 2 Soul Herb, 2 Staunching Herb.
• Behind the Port: Burglar Suit.
• Flower: 2 Staunching Herb.
• Rock: 123 coins.

Enemies

Here’s a list of all the enemies that you can find in the Xiangyang Area. These include both regular mobs as well as World Map bosses. We’ve also mentioned what items they carry in case you have the stealing skill.

Apart from the regular enemies, there are three World Map bosses that you can encounter once you’ve completed Act 1 of the story. Beating them allows you to claim their Bounty at Xiangyang City. Here’s each of them and what you can steal from them:

Xiangyang City

Xiangyang City is your first major city which you need to visit at the beginning of Act 1. It is a bustling hub filled with NPCs, shops, and side quests. Proceed carefully to avoid unnecessary penalties. Here are some of the key loot locations in the city center:

• Table: 4 Chopsticks
• Barrel: 1 Shiso Drink
• Well (Tap on Both sides): 17 Water

• White Circle: Ancient Jade (Treasure from Li Boy Quest)
• Wine Jar: 1 Xiaocao Brew of Xiangyang

Key NPCs

• Old Lady (West Side of City): Provides a quest to find her missing boy (Li Boy Side Quest).

• Beggar NPCs: Offer battles and reward you with the Beggar Gang Contest Invitation.
• Moving Chicken (East Side): Initiates a battle with East City Thug, rewarding you with a Furious Chicken Blood (+10 ATK).

You can talk to the Bounty Officer near the city center to get a rumor about the White Impermanence in Sandouping Waterway. You can check the flyer to find all available bounties, which you can claim by talking to this officer.

After finishing all bounties, talk to him again to gain a trait: Xiangyang Overlord (ATK+10%, Crit HIT+5%, Crit DMG+25%)

Listen to the Tipster of Xiangyang will give you some rumors about a recruitable character in Qu Village in Jiangdong.

Shops

• Big Hat Cai: Sells Beast Attractors, smokes, and stat-boosting items like Tales of the White Ape (+2 Sword).
• Blacksmith Pang Wu: Essential purchases include the Shovel (used for mining ores). Make sure you get one Shovel ASAP.
• Apothecary Huang: Stock up on healing items like Staunching Herb and Soul Herb. Not that important in the early game.

Quiz Locations And Answers

Madam Feng’s Quiz

Leads to the missing boy quest (Li Boy sidequest). Purchase a Peach Wood Sword (200 coins) from Pang Wu to complete it. Here’s the answer sequence for her Quiz:

• Question 1: 3rd Option
• Question 2: 2nd Option
• Question 3: 3rd Option
• Question 4: 1st Option

You get rewarded with 5 Lamb Buns for completing this Quiz, and talking to her again provides you the lead to the missing boy.

Old Man’s Quiz

There’s another NPC with a Quiz in Xiangyang City, which is the Old Man located near the north exit of the city. Here’s the answer to the questions:

• Question 1: 1st Option
• Question 2: 2nd Option

Once you talk to Madam Feng, you can then follow the southern border of the city towards the west and each this area. There you’ll find Li Boy. Talk to him and he will ask for a Peach Wood Sword.

Go to the east of the city and buy it from blacksmith Pang Wu for 200 coins. Give it to the boy and he will give you three choices to respond. Among the three choices, choose ‘(Babbling) You wish! I took away your treasure a long while ago!’ to unlock the treasure location.

Black Gale Stronghold

The Black Gale Stronghold is the first Dungeon you’ll encounter in The World of Kungfu: Dragon and Eagle. Since it’s your first, there aren’t many random enemy encounters, but rather it’s filled with hidden loot. So, to help you collect everything, here’s a complete loot location guide in each room.

Black Gale Stronghold 4

When you walk to the middle of the room, a giant snake will appear and attack you. The Snake has around 1,550 HP, so you should level up your character as well as your companions before challenging it.

After killing it, you will get Horned Serpent’s Head (bounty item) and Horned Serpent Bile (Max MP+80). You can also choose to recruit the Serpent by letting it live, but that will not allow you to claim the Bounty.

Sword Tomb

After you’re done dealing with the Horned Serpent, you’ll gain access to the Sword Tomb. Note that this area should be accessed after you’ve completed Act 1. The difficulty of the characters you’ll face here is quite high, so it’s best to level up a lot prior to entering.

• Table: 1 Chengqian and Chenxin (Hid WEP+2)

Valley Of The Sword Tomb

When you walk up toward the door, you’ll get a warning. If you choose to continue to go up, an old woman will ambush you. The Old Woman is quite powerful, so you might have a tough time defeating her.

It is suggested that you grind to around Lvl 20, have at least 1000 HP, and a party of 4-5 before you even think about challenging her. Also, try your best to steal the 5-Star Fist Technique Vicious Snake Palm from her during combat. After the battle, you can enter the cave.

3. Taunt: Gain 6-Star Sword Technique Woman Chef’s Sword. This technique is very important later on if you want to join the Sword Sect and return here.

Once you’re done and you leave the cave, the door shuts and you can no longer return here. There’s an exception you have learnt the Woman Chef’s Sword technique and follow Dugu She later on.
