The Horse Guai quest is one of the first major quests in the game and can easily be missed if you're not attentive.

1. Starting Point:

This quest requires you to find the Horse Guai in four different locations across various chapters and interact with him thoroughly at each site. Missing him in any chapter and progressing further will lock you out of completing the quest.

Chapter Two

Location: From the Sandgate Village - Village Entrance Keeper's Shrine, turn around and cross the wooden bridge. You'll encounter a door that cannot be opened from this side, so take a detour around to the right.

Find Horse Guai: Just before reaching the previously mentioned door, you’ll find the Horse Guai trapped near a statue. Remember to exhaust all his dialogue options.

Chapter Three

Location: From the New Thunderclap Temple - Temple Entrance Keeper's Shrine, enter the building and use the stairs on the left. Descend the stairs and proceed straight into the adjacent building.

Find Horse Guai: Inside, locate the stairs on your right and climb to the upper floor. Head left to the wooden bridge where the Horse Guai stands by one of the pillars. Engage with him and exhaust his dialogue.

Chapter Four

Location: From the Webbed Hollow - Middle Hollow Keeper's Shrine, from the ledge to the right of the shrine, drop down and follow the path until you reach the arena where you fight Centipede Guai.

Find Horse Guai: After defeating the Centipede Guai, follow the torch-marked path at the back of the arena. Continue forward until you see a giant cocoon. Strike the cocoon a few times to trigger a cutscene where the Horse Guai will be freed. Once again, remember to exhaust all his dialogue.

Chapter Five

Location: From the Furnace Valley - Valley Entrance, proceed ahead and descend until you reach the lava level. Move to the right side while avoiding the lava.

Final Step

Once you've located and interacted with the Horse Guai in all specified locations, complete Chapter Five. After finishing the chapter, return to the last location where the Horse Guai was trapped inside the cart. Interact with the cart and pull the string, which will now display "Pull Forcefully." This final action will complete the Horse Guai quest and reward you with the Dark Thunder Transformation.
