Let me set the scene. The Xianzhou Luofu is supposed to be a place of elegant immortals and cloud knights, but back in Version 1.5 some absolute menaces called Heliobi escaped from the Alchemy Commission. Now they are running amok, possessing people, and generally being rude. One of the quests in this whole mess is Twins, and it pits you against Lady Bailu herself. Except... it is not exactly Bailu. It is Bailu with a Heliobus wearing her like a rental apartment. If you are still chasing that tiny dragon healer around in 2026, do not worry—I have been through it, and I brought notes.

When the quest kicks off, you meet a couple of Bailu's followers in Aurum Alley. They do the classic we saw her over there routine and pinpoint her location. You find her, use the bell to enter the Heliobus illusion, and think, okay, this is a normal boss fight. Then the dialogue ends, and Bailu turns into a little green blur.

How To Catch Bailu Without Losing Your Mind

Here is the first truth: in this illusion, you are not faster than Bailu. I do not know what the Heliobus put in her shoes, but she moves like she has a warp drive. My first attempt was just... sad. I chased her around for what felt like an entire Aeon cycle.

Here is the actual trick. During the chase, you will eventually reach a door with yellow switches on the side. Do not just run through it like I did. You need to close that door first. Once it is closed, you can restart the chase and trigger the next part of the illusion. It is basically the game's way of saying, hey, stop trying to outrun a toddler dragon and use your environment.

How To Drive Bailu To The Matrix

After you realize you cannot just grab her, the group wises up. The plan becomes: herd Bailu into the matrix. Think of it less like a chase and more like moving a very fast, very smug sheep. The steps are simple, but the execution can get a little weird if you skip one door.

  1. Look for the yellow marker after the dialogue.

  2. Go toward it and close the first door you see on your right.

  3. Approach Bailu so she starts running again.

  4. Close the first door she runs through that has a switch beside it. This one felt like a trap door moment for her, and honestly? Satisfying.

  5. Go all the way around, make Bailu run again, and then just follow her. She will sprint straight into the matrix.

Do not get clever. The game wants you to follow her at the end, not cut her off. I tried to be a tactical genius once, and she just ran in a different circle like a tiny fuzzy pinball. That was on me.

Quick Tips For Fellow Trailblazers

  • 😤 Do not try to out-speed Bailu. You will lose. It is not a skill issue; it is a game design issue. I said what I said.

  • 🚪 If the chase seems to reset or go nowhere, you probably skipped a door. The yellow switches are not decoration.

  • 🔔 Use the bell only when you are ready. Once you are inside the illusion, the chaos starts fast.

  • 🧠 Treat it as a puzzle, not a footrace. Close the right doors, then let Bailu do the work for you.

The whole thing ends with Bailu running into the matrix, the illusion breaking, and the Heliobus getting sealed. It is a weirdly satisfying end because you did not catch her with speed—you caught her with doors. Like a parent proofing a house against a toddler, except the toddler is an immortal healer possessed by an ancient fire spirit. Long story short, close the doors, follow the yellow markers, and let the little gremlin trap herself.

Now if you will excuse me, I need to go apologize to Bailu for all the door-related trauma I caused.
