Location of All 15 Dragon Vein Essences in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

As we mentioned Dragon Vein Essences are secret consumable items that can be found across the map in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. However, not all of them are so difficult to find and chances are that you have found more than a few just by playing the game and exploring the world around you.

Nevertheless, here are the locations of all 15 Dragon Vein Essences so you can be sure that you’ve got them all.

Dragon Vein Essence No. 1

The first Essence is located in the sub-battlefield called the Yellow Heaven Burns. Go to the 2nd Battle Flag there and look to your right. Climb the stones and proceed down the narrow path between two big rocks. Make a U-turn and follow the path forward. You will find yourself in a courtyard with a big gate on your left and a smaller one on your right. Right in front of the smaller gate, there will be a big chest. Open it and in it, you will find the first Dragon Vein Essence.

Dragon Vein Essence No. 2

The second Essence can be found on the main battlefield, in the Valley of Crying Wraths. From the Battle Flag 6 location, go left and follow the path leading you downwards. When at the small crossroad, go right and follow the path until you encounter two tiger bosses (you might or might not encounter them). Fight them or try to ignore them, your call. On the right-hand side, near a wall with a massacred dead body, there will be the second Dragon Vein Essence.

Dragon Vein Essence No. 3

The next Essence is located on the main battlefield, in the mission called In search of the Immortal Wizard. Go in the opposite direction of the 5th Battle Flag and turn left. Climb the rocks and go left again until you reach densely intertwined lianas. Walk on top of the first liana, jump to the one in front of it, and go right. Again you will have to jump over to a third liana and there you will find the third Dragon Vein Essence.

Dragon Vein Essence No. 4

Another Essence can be found on the main battlefield, in a mission called Fall of the Corrupted Eunuch. Find yourself near the 2nd Battle Flag and head left to a big cell with a broken-down entrance. You will find a key here that unlocks another cell. Now, when you leave the cell go to your right, and right before reaching the doorway turn left instead of going through it. You will find a small locked cell. Use the key that you found earlier to unlock it and there you will find your fourth Dragon Vein Essence.

Dragon Vein Essence No. 5

The next Essence is located on the main battlefield, in the Battle of Hulaoguan Pass mission. Starting from Battle Flag 3 go down a narrow path that leads into the fort. Pass the guard tower, climb the rocks, and enter the camp through a big gateway. You will see some dead soldiers laying around and a big ballista. Take the ballista and aim it at the big wooden wall on the left side of the platform right across from you. You will be able to tear it down with one shot. After you do it, walk over there, and climb the various levels of the wooden platforms until you reach the highest one with a chest on it. Open the chest and you will find your fifth Dragon Vein Essence.

Dragon Vein Essence No. 7

For this Essence, you will have to be on the main battlefield, in the Tyrant’s Final Banquet mission. Go to the right of the 4th Battle Flag and follow the path forward until you reach a small room with three different paths. Take the one on your left, through the big open gate, and continue walking on the left side until you pass another gate. In the middle of the new room, you will see a big wooden platform. Climb on it and head left three times until you find yourself on sort of a bridge that is broken in the middle. Jump over to the other side but don’t continue walking down the bridge. Instead, turn left, and you will see a small hanging wooden platform with loot. That will be the 7th Dragon Vein Essence.

Dragon Vein Essence No. 8

The following Essence is on the sub-battlefield called Fate of the Entertainer. Move forward from the 2nd Battle Flag location and follow the cobbled path until you reach a small bridge. In the middle of that bridge, you will find the 8th Dragon Vein Essence.

The next Essence is on the main battlefield in a mission called War’s Flames Blaze Fiercely. From the 5th Battle Flag head downwards towards the river and use the wheel next to it to lower the river’s level. Now head back up in the opposite direction through the rubble until you reach an opening leading to sub-levels. Jump onto the first sub-level with the red light on it and head right. Follow the path onward into the shallow water and then climb on a ladder to reach the opposite side. Climb the stairs, and look to your right. On top of a small pile of rubble, you will find the 9th Dragon Vein Essence.

Dragon Vein Essence No. 10

In a way, Essence No. 10 is located nearby Essence No. 9 but they spawn at different times. In the sub-battlefield, The Unhibited Heart, from the location of the 2nd Battle Flag, go down to the sub-levels. On the first level where you see the red light go right and follow the path forward.

As soon as you are out, turn right and jump over the obstacle. In front of you, on the right-hand side, you will see a house and small rubble on its left side with a shining loot. Go and pick it up and you will have your 11th Dragon Vein Essence.

Open the chest and you got yourself a 14th Dragon Vein Essence.

Once in the Hidden Village head down the liana path and follow it until you reach a vegetable garden and a girl in white standing in front of a house. Talk to her (Hermit of Tianzhu) and she will tell you how she lost the House key and will rejoice when she hears you have it. Use the key to unlock the house in front of which she is standing and attempt to unlock the back door. Now again talk to her to prompt the conversation about the backdoor key before you can use it. Once you talk it through unlock the back door, go to the right, and climb a rock. You will see a small parchment of land with one tree and underneath it, you will find the 15th Dragon Vein Essence.
