Where Winds Meet: How to Unlock Infernal Twinblades – Complete Guide

Unlock the Lightning-Fast Infernal Twinblades in Where Winds Meet

The Infernal Twinblades stand out as one of the most sought-after dual blade weapons in Where Winds Meet, and for good reason. These weapons deliver exceptional DPS with a moveset that’s both fast and fluid, making them perfect for players who want to dominate combat early in the game. If you’re building a damage-focused character, the Infernal Twinblades should be high on your priority list.

What makes these blades particularly appealing is their accessibility. Unlike some endgame weapons that require extensive grinding, you can get your hands on the Infernal Twinblades relatively early in your journey through the Song Dynasty. This guide breaks down all three methods for obtaining these powerful weapons, so you can choose the path that fits your playstyle.

Three Ways to Get Infernal Twinblades

There are three distinct methods to unlock the Infernal Twinblades in Where Winds Meet:

• Qi Sheng’s Melodies of Peace quest reward
• Infernal Twins Sanctum Skill Theft dungeon
• Joining the Midnight Blades Sect

Each method has its own requirements and challenges, but they all lead to the same powerful weapon. Let’s explore each option in detail.

Method 1: Qi Sheng and the Melodies of Peace Quest

This is arguably the most straightforward method, especially for newer players who might not have unlocked advanced abilities yet.

Finding Qi Sheng

Qi Sheng is a Qinghe Oddities merchant you’ll encounter between the General’s Shrine teleporter and the Wayfarer map NPC. He’s hard to miss once you’re in the area. When you first interact with him, he’ll kick off a mission asking you to retrieve a Beehive Oddity for him.

Completing the Quest

The Beehive Oddity retrieval is straightforward. Once you bring it back to Qi Sheng, he’ll offer you a choice of four weapons as a reward:

• Panacea Fan
• Infernal Twinblades
• Thundercry Blades
• Vernal Umbrella

Simply select the Infernal Twinblades, and they’re yours. This method is perfect if you want immediate access without dealing with stealth mechanics or combat challenges. For more details on this quest, check out our Melodies of Peace guide.

Method 2: Infernal Twins Sanctum Skill Theft Dungeon

This method is more challenging but rewarding if you enjoy stealth gameplay. It’s also a great way to test your mastery of the game’s mechanics.

Requirements

Before attempting this dungeon, you’ll need:

• Skill Theft ability unlocked
• Touch of Death Mystical Art
• At least one Dragon Key (learn more about Dragon Keys here)

Locating the Sanctum

The Infernal Twins Sanctum is an underground dungeon located in eastern Qinghe, near Starfall Spring. Head to the marked location and use your Dragon Key to unlock the entrance, then descend the spiral stairway to reach the elevator that starts the encounter.

Understanding Sanctum Mechanics

Sanctums in Where Winds Meet are special Skill Theft dungeons with unique rules. You cannot engage in direct combat here. Instead, you must navigate through the dungeon undetected, using Touch of Death to silently eliminate enemies blocking your path. Think of it as a blend of stealth and puzzle-solving.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

• Initial Entry: Walk down the stairs and turn left. You’ll see enemies blocking the entrance. Crouch and enter the hole in the left wall to bypass them.
• First Assassinations: Follow the tunnel to the other end, turn right, and use Touch of Death on the enemy standing in the doorway. Timing is everything here.

• Upper Level: Climb the stone stairway and eliminate the Midnight Blades disciple by the chasm. Use the scaffolding next to the doorway to reach the upper area.

• Wooden Platform Section: Jump to the wooden platform left of the door and survey the area below. Use Wind Sense (V key) to see enemies’ vision cones. Wait for clear sight lines, then assassinate the disciple directly below you. Quickly take out the second one before anyone notices.
• Treasure Collection: Turn right to eliminate the disciple near the bookcases. Claim the treasure chest, then take the ladder opposite the chest to continue deeper.
• Celestial Seize Trick: You’ll spot a chest behind a wooden barrier. Instead of finding a way around, walk up to it and use Celestial Seize through the gaps to grab the loot instantly. This saves time and keeps you safe.

• Higher Platform: Climb the next ladder and assassinate the disciple at the top. Use Wind Sense to track the patrol patterns below, then eliminate the enemy beneath you when it’s safe.
• Narrow Passageway: Enter the passage behind the last target and climb another ladder. Jump to the left railing and follow the narrow path.
• Final Section: The last area has numerous Midnight Blades disciples patrolling. Use Wind Sense liberally. Wait for the guard near the ladder to be unwatched, then assassinate him and quickly climb the ladder.
• Skill Theft Point: Turn right to spot another chest (grab it with Celestial Seize), then enter the tunnel opposite your entry ladder. Push through the door, climb the stairs to the right, and follow the quest marker to the Skill Theft activation point.

Completing the Skill Theft

Press G at the Skill Theft point to trigger the minigame. Successfully complete it to permanently unlock the Infernal Twinblades. You can now equip them in your weapon slot and start experimenting with dual blade combos. For tips on building around these weapons, see our best early builds guide.

Pro Tips for Sanctum Success

• Always use Wind Sense before making a move to track enemy vision cones
• Wait for enemies to turn away before striking
• Assassinations are only “clean” if no other enemy is watching the target
• If you get detected, you’ll need to restart the section
• Celestial Seize can grab items through barriers, saving you detours

Method 3: Join the Midnight Blades Sect

The third method involves joining one of the game’s factions, which also opens up additional content and storylines.

Starting the Quest

Travel to Halo Peak in Qinghe’s Sundara Land region. Look for a Seriously Injured Swordsman lying on rocks. Speak with him to learn he was killed by the Midnight Blades, which sets you on the path to finding them.

Meeting Icchantika

Follow the trail of blood from the injured swordsman into the grass. This leads you to Icchantika, the Ferryman of the Midnight Blades Sect. During your conversation, choose the dialogue option “My heart is that of Asura Heart.” He’ll give you a White Token.

Earning Entry

To join the sect, you must return a “bloody token” to Icchantika. Getting one requires killing any enemy, which includes both PvE encounters and PvP battles. The easiest option is a group of enemies located just east of Icchantika’s position in a large open arena.

Defeat them, collect the bloody token, and return to Icchantika. Once you join the Midnight Blades Sect, you’ll gain access to the Infernal Twinblades along with other sect-specific benefits. For more on joining different factions, check our all sects guide.

Why Choose the Infernal Twinblades?

The Infernal Twinblades excel in several areas:

• High DPS output makes them excellent for aggressive playstyles
• Lightning-fast attack speed allows you to overwhelm enemies before they can react
• Versatile combos work well with various Mystic Arts and Inner Arts
• Early availability means you can start building around them from the beginning

These weapons pair exceptionally well with certain builds. Consider combining them with skills that enhance attack speed or critical hit chance. They’re particularly effective when used with movement-based Mystic Arts that let you close distance quickly.

Final Thoughts

The Infernal Twinblades represent one of the best early-to-mid game weapon options in Where Winds Meet. Whether you choose the straightforward quest reward from Qi Sheng, challenge yourself with the Sanctum’s stealth mechanics, or commit to the Midnight Blades Sect, you’ll end up with a weapon that can carry you through significant portions of the game.

For most players, starting with Qi Sheng’s quest offers the quickest path to these blades. However, if you enjoy stealth challenges, the Sanctum provides a more engaging experience that also helps you master important game mechanics. The Midnight Blades route is ideal if you’re interested in faction content and don’t mind the extra steps.

Whichever path you choose, the Infernal Twinblades will serve you well in your adventures through the Song Dynasty.
