What to do with Golden Cicada Shell in Wo Long

Throughout your adventures in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, you may, on occasion, pick up a strange yellow item called a Golden Cicada Shell. Upon glancing at the description, it tells you to seek someone who would be interested in it but offers no other recourse as to who or where. A mystery to be sure, but one we've, thankfully, managed to solve after exploring every nook and cranny. Here's what to do with Golden Cicada Shells you pick up in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.

What is the Golden Cicada Shell used for in Wo Long Fallen Dynasty?

Golden Cicada Shells are used as a buffer item for a number of rewards. To make use of them, seek the reclusive Hermit of Tianzhu standing atop a vine-covered tower in the Hidden Village. This hermit will offer you various rewards for giving him Golden Cicada Shells you find out on the battlefield.

To begin, head to the Hidden Village, and from the main banner flag, follow the extended vines to the right past the Blacksmith. Follow the path around until reaching the woman in white, standing outside of her house because of a lost key. Keep going past her until you see the vine-covered tower mentioned earlier. Follow the vines up to the top, and at the top, you will find the Hermit of Tianzhu staring off into the distance.

In order to start giving him the shells, you'll first need to exhaust all of his dialogue. Once done, offer him as many shells as you have, and he'll grant you rewards based on the amount you've given. Note that if you've given him three shells on one occasion already, you might need to reset the Hidden Village area by going to a new battlefield and returning back to the village. Do this only if he refuses to take any more of your shells.

What is the Golden Cicada Shell reward?

Giving the Hermit of Tianzhu Golden Cicada Shells will yield random rewards from the game's loot table. He will graciously give up all manner of weapons and armor that you can freely modify, based on how many shells you give him. If you manage to find all of the Golden Cicada Shells in the game and give them to him, you'll earn the Ascension achievement as the ultimate reward.
