Prisoner Location

As you proceed through Chapter 3, you’ll battle "Kang-Jin Loong" iconKang-Jin Loong and, despite winning the battle, you’ll find yourself captured and tossed into a cell in the Pagoda Realm. This is a dreary place where every now and then, you’ll hear chanting which sends everyone into a frenzy, spawns terrifying "Lantern Warden" iconLantern Wardens, and lowers your own HP!

As you exit your cell, however, you’ll hear a man speaking so go to the nearby cell and you’ll find the Prisoner, who appears to have given up on escaping this realm. Look closely at his cell and you’ll notice that there’s a purple circle on the door, this ward will prevent entry and it’s not the only one you’ll come across in the Pagoda Realm. Your next step involves tracking down the Prisoner’s four Captains to unlock the purple doors.

Unlocking the Purple Ward Doors and the Four Captain Locations

Your next step is a lengthy one as you’ll need to track down the four Captains, three of which are boss fights to get their essence and remove the ward on these cells. The table below will tell you where you can find each of these Captains:

(1 of 4) Drop down to the left of the Upper Pagoda Shrine to find Captain Lotus-Vision.
