Location and Important Warning
To confront the Yellow-Robed Squire, you can’t just go in “empty-handed,” but you need to complete a rather intricate chain of side quests, let’s call it the “Drunken Boar Questline“.
First, go to the Rockrest Flat Shrine area. You will see a drunken boar sitting there. He needs something to sober up.
Next, move to Windrest Hamlet Bridge. After crossing the bridge, turn left, go a bit and then turn right, you will see a small house on the left. Go inside, break the pot to find the Sobering Stone. Important Note: You need to complete the Man-In-Stone quest before you can buy the Sobering Stone from the Man-In-Stone. If you haven’t done it, look for the guide to this quest.
Return to the Drunken Boar at Rockrest Flat and give him the Sobering Stone.
This time, he has moved to the Crouching Tiger Temple Entrance. From the gate, go up the stairs and turn right twice. The Drunken Boar will ask for a Jade Lotus. You can buy it from the Keeper’s Shrine.
Finally, you need to defeat the First Prince of Flowing Sands to get the Arhat Gold Piece.
After completing all the above steps, the Yellow-Robed Squire will appear at the original location of the Drunken Boar at Rockrest Flat.
