There are ten Special Oddities to find: five Singing Phantom in Qinghe and five Elusive Nightshade in Kaifeng. First unlock and equip the Contortion Mystic Skill, then use the subregion checklist below to search for each one. The locations listed in guides are subregion waypoints, not exact coordinates, so confirm each pickup in the game rather than relying on a map marker alone.

Before you start: check the event and unlock Contortion

  1. Check the live event menu. Tiny Adventure is described in guides as a limited-time Version 1.3 event, but those guides do not establish whether it is active now or give a confirmed end date. Check the in-game event menu for its timer and remaining rewards before making a route plan. AllThings.How and Nerdschalk describe the event cycle.
  2. Unlock Contortion. Complete Tiny Adventure: Part 1 and obtain the Contortion Mystic Skill from Elder Zan, then equip it. The skill lets you enter the tight spaces where the collectibles are placed. Game8’s location guide lists Contortion as the access requirement.
  3. Choose a region and track its set. There are five targets in each region; keep your Qinghe and Kaifeng counts separate as you search.

All ten Special Oddity subregions

The names below are the guide-listed subregions for each collectible set. They narrow the search, but they are not coordinate-level directions.

Region Special Oddity set Subregions to check
Qinghe Singing Phantom Floral Expanse Beyond; Mercyheart Town; Stonewash Strand; Peace Bell Tower; Twinbeast Ridge
Kaifeng Elusive Nightshade Heavenfall; Kaifeng Suburbs – North; Kaifeng Suburbs – West; Imperial Artisan Court; Forsaken Quarter

This ten-location list, including the five-per-region split, is reported by Game8 and Nerdschalk.

How to locate and collect each one

  1. Use a subregion waypoint to narrow the search. Open the in-game map and minimap while exploring the named area. For a more visual route, consult a guide map or interactive map; treat third-party markers as aids, not proof that a collectible is present or accessible. WWM Codex notes that map-provider coverage can lag game updates and that a marker may not explain access requirements: Where Winds Meet Interactive Map.
  2. Look for the tight-space approach. Equip Contortion and search around structures, walls, alleys, and other narrow openings. Wind Sense is also recommended by AllThings.How when checking a suspected location.
  3. Be ready for different interaction patterns. Special Oddities can involve chasing and grabbing a creature, clearing a hazard, or shooting a nest or object with a flaming arrow. AllThings.How recommends carrying a Bow and flaming arrows as a precaution; its guidance does not establish that every Oddity requires them.
  4. Confirm the pickup in the event tracker. Check that the appropriate Special Oddity count advances before leaving the area. A map marker or nearby collectible is not the same as a confirmed set entry.

Forsaken Quarter: avoid the nearby treasure mix-up

In Forsaken Quarter, a miniature treasure close to the actual Oddity has caused confusion in location guides. AllThings.How says the Oddity is nearer the wall than the misleading miniature-treasure marker. Use that as a search cue, then verify the pickup by checking that the Special Oddity counter advances; do not count the miniature treasure as one of the five Elusive Nightshade.

Check completion and claim the event rewards

After collecting all ten, check the Tiny Adventure event tracker and its reward screen. Game8 reports up to 80 Echo Jade for submitting all ten to the Troupe Leader north of Riverside Station, while AllThings.How describes an Innerway chest for completing the full collection. The guides do not make clear whether these refer to separate reward steps, so rely on the live tracker and reward screen rather than assuming both rewards apply in every event instance.
