When you’re exploring Hexi in Where Winds Meet, Lost Crossing has five antiques that will help you contribute to your collection. You can obtain some of these antiques simply through the main storyline, while others you have to complete through encounters or side quests that relate to each antique and its backstories. Here’s a simple guide explaining how to find and complete all five antiques in Lost Crossing.
How to Get All Antiques in Lost Crossing
While exploring the Hexi region in the game, Lost Crossing is one of the earliest areas you’ll come across. It has a total of five antiques available, and if you’re interested in collecting them, here’s an easy breakdown for you:
Antique 1 – Courier’s Longbow
The first antique that you are going to get in Lost Crossing is the Courier’s Longbow. It is most likely that you would have gotten this when you completed the main story quest, Desert Without Sails, which occurs when you arrive for the first time in the Hexi region.
You receive the bow after defeating the first mini-boss involving birds. Shortly afterward, when you ring the drum, the antique unlocks and is added to your counter.
Antique 2 – Station Master’s Token
To find the Station Master’s Token, you will need to have completed the Desert Without Sails quest. After ringing the drums, descend near the location where you pick up a curious piece of luggage. This is where you will find the token you’re looking for.
Collecting the item alone does not count, though; you have to obtain the item’s backstory, where you must defeat Wandering Ark (the boss). To defeat the Wandering Ark, you will need to use your Tai Chi skill against the boss’s large moon attack after it has completed its second phase of fighting. After successfully defeating Wandering Ark, you will gain access to the token’s backstory and complete of the antique.
Antique 3 – Tiny Gourd
To grab the Tiny Gourd, you will have to use Celestial Theft on the merchant Tang Qi at Lost Crossing and then steal the item for yourself. After obtaining the item, enter the nearby boat building and access the shelf inside. This completes your acquisition of the Tiny Gourd and allows you to learn about its history.
Antique 4 – Newborn’s Jade
You can find the Newborn’s Jade in a chest located in a building at the Camel Station, and when you collect it, you will need to unlock the backstory by completing a side quest called Wellspring of Hope. As long as the backstory has been unlocked while you were completing this quest, the antique will be added to your overall count.
Antique 5 – Sunward Spear
The final antique is the Sunwood Spear, which you receive as a reward for completing the Mysterious IOU encounter.
To start this encounter, return to Lost Crossing and interact with three hidden treasures:
The first treasure is located on the right side of the road, hidden in the grass.
The second treasure can be found on the left side of the road, placed on some boxes.
The third treasure is wine located under a tree slightly up the hill.
Once you’ve interacted with each of the three treasures, you’re done with what you needed to do to end this encounter when you wake back up. Next, you’ll need to interact with one of the NPCs nearby, and then you can follow the quest markers to finish this encounter. When you do so you will receive the Sunwood Spear as a reward for completing this interaction.
Go to the southeastern part of the map and enter the fortress to unlock the spear’s backstory. You can unlock the spear’s history by interacting with it at the point marked on your map. If you’re visiting this fortress for the first time, you’ll need to complete the side quest; the White Crown Fortress Campaign which begins just after opening the main door. After completing that quest, return and interact with the spear to finish the final antique.
