Where Winds Meet: Guard Mission: Golden Bright Pool Guide

An original English guide to Guard Mission: Golden Bright Pool in Where Winds Meet, with route planning, preparation tips, objective checks, and common mistakes.
This is an original English guide for **Where Winds Meet: Guard Mission: Golden Bright Pool**, adapted from the linked Chinese topic as a fresh walkthrough. It is not a line-by-line translation. The goal is to give English-speaking players a clean route, the right preparation, and a reliable way to recover when the objective marker stops moving.
## Guard mission focus
The objective is to secure the pool area, handle enemies that approach from different angles, and search the waterline for optional rewards. Guard missions reward control and route discipline more than reckless damage. Identify the protected zone, the likely approach lanes, and the point where the final wave enters.
## Preparation
Keep the quest selected in the Wulin Journal while moving through the area. Activate every Boundary Stone you pass, because a later return trip is common in Where Winds Meet. Read nearby letters, tablets, signposts, and NPC dialogue before leaving; many Remnant and Guard objectives update only after the investigation flag is triggered.
Equip a dependable damage skill, a defensive cooldown, and at least one recovery item. If the mission lets you prepare the arena, place yourself where enemies cannot surround the objective. Keep ranged enemies in sight and interrupt the first unit that reaches the protected area.
## Wave-by-wave plan
Clear isolated targets first, then use crowd control when two or more enemies overlap. Do not chase a fleeing enemy outside the mission space if another wave is already spawning. Save your strongest skill for the last phase, when the objective usually receives the most pressure.
## After the clear
Search the mission perimeter, talk to the quest NPC, and claim the reward before leaving. If the task remains incomplete, one enemy or interaction is usually outside the obvious center of the arena.
