Weeping Creek Valley contains the Outpost, Sha-Chi Tower and waterfall routes in Phantom Blade Zero. It is also a useful return destination after obtaining exploration abilities: chains, grapple anchors and hanging objects can lead to paths that were inaccessible on the first visit.

Return with exploration abilities
Dread Axe opens blocking iron chains after acquisition, while Hunter's Chain Sickle reaches designated grapple anchors. Several document and quest routes use those abilities, including the later return for Xu Feng's Secret Letter in Four Fierce Axes. Check the named obstacle rather than assuming every wall can be broken or every ledge can be grappled.
