Most quests in Where Winds Meet are fairly straightforward, but such is not the case for March of the Dead. After a would-be good deed gone wrong, players will find themselves in the fabled Ghostlight Market under Kaifeng, but something is off. Instead of a busy (albeit shady) market street, you are met with a poisonous fog and the spirits of soldiers patrolling the area. This Where Winds Meet side quest is quite tricky to complete, so if you're lost trying to find all three items needed for March of the Dead, here's a guide to help you out.

Where Winds Meet: March of the Dead — Armor Location
Once you arrive at the spooky version of Ghostlight Market, speak to Liu Changsheng near the stairs leading to the street. He'll ask you to find three items: a suit of armor, a helmet, and a spear. The find the armor, begin at the starting point, then go to the right. Keep following the green lanterns until you find a Boundary Stone and Chang Sheng, a member of the Nine Mortal Ways sect in WWM.
Go past Chang Sheng and keep going until you reach a pier. To your right, you'll see some green lanterns on the water. Follow those lanterns and keep going until you find a chest on a rock by the river to get the armor.
Where Winds Meet: March of the Dead — Helmet Location
Go back to the starting point near Liu Changsheng, then go left. Follow the path until you find a market stall where Nan Lugong is hiding. To the right of the market stall is a path — follow the green lanterns along this path until you see some ghosts (do not fight the ghosts). Behind the spirits is another pier, and on one of the wooden platforms is another chest containing the helmet.
If you speak with Nan Lugong, he'll point you toward the right direction leading to the spear.
Where Winds Meet: March of the Dead — Spear Location
Go back to Nan Lugong's market stall, then go up the flight of stairs behind it. At the top and to the left of the stairs is an antique book store, and just slightly past that is another set of stairs going up to the left. There are green lanterns along the stairs, so they should be pretty hard to miss.
At the top of the stairs, turn left and go past the tree with the lit candles. Keep going forward until you reach a rope bridge with a ghost in the middle. Do not cross the bridge. Instead, follow the path forward until you see a group of ghosts together. There's a chest behind that contains the spear.
Follow the Ghost Procession
Return to Liu Changsheng, then wear the complete set of ghost gear you just picked up — don't worry, the game will hold your hand through that process. Once you've equipped the set, wait until a ghost procession passes by the front of the starting point, then follow them up through the marketplace. They'll eventually stop near some more ghost soldiers, and when they do, proceed to the next area through a stone gate.
Defeat Zhu Yousheng
Inside the bright and colorful cave is the founder of the Nine Mortal Ways sect, and to complete the quest, you need to take him on. Thankfully, he's not that hard to beat, so just do your best to dodge, parry, and counter-attack until he goes down. For completing the March of the Dead quest, you'll get the following rewards:
