Sunqua Vale is an idyllic location nestled between the mountains and the southwestern cliffs of Shing Jea Island. It includes portions of the short east-west mountain range of which Tomaat Pass leads from the Shrine of Maat towards the western coast of the island. The lowland areas of this area are sparsely populated by simple Mantids and wandering Kappa. Towards the western end, near Lake Puang, some Naga can be encountered. The snowy mountain range is slightly more dangerous, with bands of Sensali Tengu and the Crimson Skull patrolling about.
This is the first explorable area where new players will encounter hostile enemies. The Mantids (excluding a few in Zhengjo Temple), Kappa, and Naga in the area are passive until attacked first, but the Sensali, the Yetis, and the Crimson skull band encountered in the northern mountainous paths do attack on aggro.

Notes[edit]
- These quests will affect the spawns in this area:
- These festival quests will also affect the spawns in this area:
- Complete exploration of this area adds approximately 3.3% to the Canthan Cartographer title track.
- Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests require defeating around 135 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 98 to 152 foes.
- The fewest number of foes spawn during A Strange Request, which is part of the Dragon Festival.
- A group of Kappa will jump out of the water if you approach too close the southeastern waterfront.
- Similarly, a group of Naga will show up at the eastern end of the bridge over Lake Puang.
- A single, hidden Lesser Oni can be found a short distance northwest from the Tsumei Village portal.
- Around 3 groups of Crimson Skull drop from trees on the northern edge of the snowy area.
- Zhengjo Temple has hidden single Mantids everywhere that spawn one at a time after you kill the visible Mantid Monitor next to their spawn spot. In total 2-3 hidden ones spawn for each visible enemy.
- The Kappa and Mantids are hostile to each other, though they will only fight in Hard mode. The Red Yeti and a nearby Sensali are hostile to each other, and may both die fighting.
Bug.Wulk Cragfist spawns as a hostile for all characters and turns into an ally after being defeated, despite the fact that only Factions characters can take his quest, Revenge of the Yeti. Bug.Sometimes, a Water Buffalo (near the second rabbit cage) will spawn in the middle of two trees and be unable to move. Bug.Inside Zhengjo Temple, two Mantid Hatchlings will attack the Mantid Monitor near to where they spawn.
