Dusky Ming (Chinese: 小冥 Xiǎo Míng) is a quest-exclusive NPC that appears in Archon Quest Wangshu in Chapter I: Act I - Of the Land Amidst Monoliths.
Profile[]
According to Uncle Ghast, in the distant past, Dusky Ming succumbed to a fatal illness when she was a child, leaving her mother greatly bereaved. For whatever reason, Dusky Ming's spirit remained in the mortal world. She prepared food for her mother and even brought her to a nearby hilichurl camp where she was promptly surrounded. Instead of attacking, however, the hilichurls began dancing Dusky Ming's favorite dance — the girl had befriended the hilichurls from the afterlife.
Some time later, Xiao came across Dusky Ming. Seeing she was harmless yet unable to move on, he asked Verr Goldet and Huai'an if she could move into the Wangshu Inn for a while, where she spent her time spooking visitors as entertainment. However, the inn's cook, Smiley Yanxiao, had not been notified of this and became terrified when Ming began messing around in the kitchen, refusing to cook. The Traveler and Paimon chase Ming, who then possesses a Ruin Hunter. After disabling it, she promises not to haunt the inn in return for them being her playmates.
