Arknights Endfield (Wuling Arc) Main Story Quest - Chapter 2 (Part 4) Full Playthrough

Arknights Endfield — Wuling Arc (Chapter 2, Part 4)

Overview

Enfield’s team (including the player-character Endman and Supervisor Pilica) is dispatched to Wuing (Wooling) City after intel reports of bone crushers/angaloids and rising ether/blight activity. The chapter follows their off-course insertion, exploration of a shifting bamboo grove, local faction politics, infrastructure repairs, and the city’s precarious Shironite supply. The act ends with Wuing preparing to ramp up production and defenses — and the implication that Nefareth is not acting alone.

Revelation: Nefareth is not acting alone — other parties (including Ardishir/associates) are involved.

Storyline — Main Beats

• Enfield team is sent to Wuing after reports of angaloids, bone crushers, and increasing ether/blight activity. Nefareth is suspected.
• Wuing sits atop a huge rift and depends on Project Chironite (Shironite) and tall Tiani/Tenra pillars to hold back blight tides. Local Shironite reserves are dwindling.
• The team’s drop goes off-course; they land outside the intended zone and must traverse a moving bamboo grove and rivers to reach Wuing.
• They meet a mysterious traveler, Ardishir (an esoteric, Sargonian-like figure), and face grove nymphs/bamboo creatures that rearrange paths. Puzzles require guiding lights and statue hints rather than brute force.
• Local politics: Ching Boscade stockade (led by Tong Tong, Supreme Chief) is at odds with city watch guards (Meu/Miffu). The Enfield team poses as Tong Tong’s allies to secure aid and mobility.
• Multiple skirmishes occur with “spatters,” angaloids, and landbreaker creatures. Residents and the stockade cooperate with Enfield to repel attacks.
• The team helps repair infrastructure (bridges, water wheels) to reopen routes and rescue civilians.
• An old arts drone is repurposed (powered by Aridium arts and water) to drive bearings and open a sealed gate; this requires collecting water items.
• After clearing the outskirts, Enfield reaches Wuing and meets Administrator / Viceroy Tian Dwang (Jang Fangi), who reports damaged pillars, incoming bone crushers, and unstable depth readings. Wuing has at most ~3 months of Shironite unless mass production (AIC + HAS partnership) is scaled up.
• Chapter close: uneasy calm in the city, plans to increase production and defenses, and confirmation that external collaborators are involved in the attacks.

Gameplay Highlights and Mechanics

• Exploration puzzle: navigate a moving bamboo grove where trees and paths shift — use statues, guiding lights, and observational cues rather than cutting paths.
• Environmental interactions: manipulate Chiangu / Tiani pillars and light beacons; bait or avoid grove critters; use rafts to cross rivers.
• Faction interaction: roleplay and negotiating with local groups (Ching Boscade) grants safe passage and support, often preferable to direct combat.
• Infrastructure puzzles: repair and operate water wheels and bridges to reopen routes; collect and use water bottles as mechanical inputs.
• Item/arts combination: convert a retired arts drone into an arts-beam generator by supplying water and boosting it with Endman’s Aridium arts.
• Combat: multiple small-scale battles against angaloids and landbreakers; combined civilian + stockade + Enfield forces are key to repelling attacks and freeing trapped NPCs.

Strategies and Key Tips

• When the bamboo grove rearranges, look for environmental cues (statues, lighting) and observe nymph movement patterns to open routes.
• Avoid destroying unique scenery or mechanisms — many environmental puzzles require preservation of elements like bamboo.
• Use diplomacy and roleplay with locals to secure allies and resources; it can be faster and safer than fighting through every obstacle.
• Prioritize repairing local infrastructure (water wheels, bridges, rafts) — these often unlock progression.
• Conserve and gather water items; some machines/drones require liquid fuel to operate.
• Combine old tech with arts: retired drones or units can be repurposed if given the correct fuel and an arts boost.
• Manage Shironite usage carefully; city arrays consume supply quickly. Strategic reporting and coordination with local leadership are essential for long-term solutions.
