Gusu Summer Camp game hints & tips  

  • Drinking Buddies: Jiang Cheng needs at least 2 hearts with his intended by the time he drinks with Nie Huaisang and Wei Wuxian, a week before Qixi. Be careful how you answer when Nie
  • Huaisang asks Jiang Cheng who he likes best!          
  • Search Party: Stick with the one you love most! The search party is the last checkpoint for most romances; if you don't get the option to search the back hills with Jiang Cheng's intended when Wei Wuxian goes missing, Jiang Cheng may not be able to confess to them on Qixi!          
  • Gifts: Lan Xichen, Meng Yao, Wen Qing, and Lan Wangji have 'good' and 'bad' gifts that can be given to them. Choose wisely!          
  • Relationship Menu: Check hearts for updates on your progress.          
  • Retreat: The back button is your friend! If a conversation goes wrong, you can always go back! Or embrace your inner Jiang Cheng awkwardness and forge on!          
  • Lan Xichen: Likes when Jiang Cheng is dependable and capable.          
  • Meng Yao: Likes when Jiang Cheng respects him and is on his side.          
  • Wen Qing: Likes when Jiang Cheng values family and her skills. The key to winning her heart is saving her brother from the Waterborne Abyss.          
  • Nie Huaisang: He doesn't know anything about the friendzone. He just doesn't know!          
  • Secret Romance: The key to the secret romance lies in the art of writing the perfect letter.          
  • Lan Wangji: You aren't qualified to speak to him.


Patch notes for ver 3.3 of the game*:

  • Spoilers for New Ending If you max out your relationship with Wei Wuxian, depending on your other choices, you may find a new ending.
  • Spoilers for Wen Qing It is now possible to make Wen Qing hate you. This does not give you a new ending, though some may find it satisfying to try to make her stop hating you again.
  • Spoilers for Nie Huaisang Nie Huaisang's romance art now shows up in the gallery properly after he's been romanced (though you may have to romance him again--or load up an old save file to play through his Qixi scene--on the latest version for this fix to take effect). His hearts on the Relationships Page also turn red earlier in the game.
  • You can now choose between the old and new opening theme song that plays in the menu, if you play the offline version of the game. This may be helpful for streamers especially. Remember to restart the game for the change to take effect.
  • Some typos and missing credits have been fixed.
  • Some approval ribbons that did not show up/showed up in the wrong location have been fixed.
  • The movements and expressions of various sprites in various scenes have been improved.
  • Some lines of audio have had their volume levelled better.

*If you have an earlier version of the Expanded Edition downloaded, consider downloading the latest version. If you play online, it will automatically run the latest version so you don't have to do anything.
