Forbidden Zone
The Forbidden Zone is a restricted archive and investigation site in Honor of Kings: World that becomes accessible during Jixia Chapter 4: Jixia Secrets. It is the second half of the chapter, following the Guiling Return Mausoleum route.
How the Chapter Uses the Area
The player approaches the area with Dongfang Yao after a cutscene and nightfall transition.
The opening stretch is a stealth route patrolled by robots.
Grass crouching and scan mode help track patrol sightlines, but being spotted does not fail the chapter.
The inner objective is a two-floor archive search followed by a lower-chamber mechanism puzzle.
Archive Interior
Inside the building, the player searches shelves and marked points for clues. The route uses an elevator to move between floors, with gaps between upper platforms and a final descent into the lower archive chambers.
Search the required shelves and marked records on the first floor.
Ride the lift to the upper floor and continue the archive search.
Drop into the lower archive area and recover the disc from the white pedestal.
Rotate the mechanism so the blue energy line connects correctly through the conduits.
Why the Forbidden Zone Matters
It introduces the first sustained stealth section in the launch main story.
It reframes Chapter 4 from dungeon pursuit into secret-record investigation.
It connects Jixia's academy mystery directly to Godpattern research and hidden archives.
