Golden Cicada Shells Locations
- Two Chivalrous Heroes: after the Zhuyan boss fight halfway through the level, continue up the cliffs until you can enter a building. Now leave the building and immediately turn right to find a platform you can climb up to reach the rooftop. Continue along the rooftop and straight ahead at the split, then left at the first chance.
- The Valley of Crying Wraiths: after the Battle Flag near the Changgui, continue up the cliff where a Warlock enemy is. Cross the bridge behind and drop down the hole in the second bridge.
- The Demon Fort of the Yellow Heaven: on a rooftop in the village, close to the shortcut ladder.
- In Search of the Immortal Wizard: when you enter the red corruption cave, walk along the very first branch you see to get to it.
- Fall of the Corrupted Eunuch #1: a bit into the mission, you’ll reach the lit part of a bridge. From here, head downstairs using the stairs. Defeat the two Huoshu then enter the prison cell in the corner to find it.
- Fall of the Corrupted Eunuch #2: on the rooftop above the Battle Flag in the courtyard with the ponds.
- The Battle of Hulaoguan Pass: from the Battle Flag in the encampment where there was a big axe-wielding soldier, head right through the side path. You’ll eventually reach the battlefield with a Changgui demon perching on a ledge on your left. Drop down into the chasm and you’ll find it at the end.
- Centuries of Glory Burned Away #1: from the second Battle Flag, head left to enter a street with a patrolling soldier and an archer. Once you see the soldier, head left again and past the fire to find it.
- Centuries of Glory Burned Away #2: later in the mission, you’ll eventually have to drop down a hole in the wall to reach a Marking Flag on a small platform in the water. From the platform, facing the end of the canal, drop down to the left to find a small alcove with it.
- Darkness Over the Hanshui River: from the start of the mission, head right, defeat the Shuigui and then drop down from the top of the wooden shipwreck at the end to land on a platform with it.
- Tyrant’s Final Banquet #1: after being invaded, continue into the second fort section, then use the rooftops to get to it on a small rooftop above the entrance.
- Tyrant’s Final Banquet #2: after defeating a Fengxi mini boss and raising the Battle Flag, you’ll reach an area guarded by a Changgui. Climb up to very top of the roof to find it.
- War’s Flames Blaze Fiercely #1: shortly after releasing a Battle Flag’s corruption controlled by a spearman, continue along the scripted path and when you get to a split, head right, then right again to find a spear-wielding soldier protecting a chest. Kill the soldier, then open it to find it.
- War’s Flames Blaze Fiercely #2: you’ll eventually reach a room in the sewers with two terracotta soldiers on top of a platform guarding a chest. Inside it is the shell.
- The Way of the Warrior: from Battle Flag 1, continue on until you get to a broken branch leaning out. From here, drop down to the left and wade through the muddy stream to get to a side area defended by a Zhupolong. Defeat it and then grab the shell by the tree.
- Lu Bu, Mightiest Among Men: when you reach the top of the wall overlooking the wooden fort right at the end of the mission, drop down and make your way to the staircase. Go up the stairs and head left to find it behind a wooden structure.
- Behold the Glaive of Righteousness #1: much later in the level, you’ll get to a foggy area. Once you do, continue along the main path to find a Changgui. Defeat it and then climb up the long ladder that was behind the Changgui and cross the bridge. At the end of the bridge, head right and you’ll eventually see a Suanyu. Near the Suanyu’s patrolling route is a small tower you can climb up. Then, grab the shell from the branch.
- Behold the Glaive of Righteousness #2: in the underground area, you’ll eventually reach a room with two big sword-wielding terracotta soldiers guarding a door. Ignore them for now and climb the ledges. At the top, you’ll notice a hole in the ground with a ladder going down. This leads you to a shortcut ladder that, in turn, leads you back to the Battle Flag in the area. Activate the shortcut and then go back up and kill the Houshu near the red crystal. Behind the red crystal you can find the shell.
- Decisive Battle of Guandu #1: when you reach the statues, head behind the second one on the right to reach a small hidden ledge with a this shell.
- Decisive Battle of Guandu #2: after the last Battle Flag post first boss fight, drop down into the area below behind a Shitieshou.
- Mt. Tianzhushan Hidden Village: base of the village’s tallest tower.
