How to Solve the Torch Puzzle in Where Winds Meet

The first part of this quest involves a torch puzzle after clearing the ruins of Tiger Fort Bandits.

To get inside the hidden chamber, you need to light the correct torches around the fort. A helpful map (Clue Two for this quest) features a drawing with the correct torches circled.

To solve the torch puzzle, light the torch right next to the chest with Clue Two. Then, light the torch along the wall followed by the two torches on the corners opposite the chest. Make sure all other torches are extinguished!

Where Winds Meet Wall Puzzle solution

After lighting the torches and descending into the underground chamber, you'll find a statue surrounded by glowing Chinese characters on the walls.

To solve this puzzle, you need to push specific blocks to make each wall spell out the word listed in Clue Three found just before this room.

First, press the 漂 symbol in the corner.

Then, push the 百 and 移 symbols on the other wall.

Pushing the symbols will deactivate them, leaving the correct words spelled by the remaining glowing symbols on each wall.

If you've already pushed some of the symbols, just interact with them again to light the symbols back up. You want 山 河 寸 土 spelled out on one wall and 誓 死 不 易 spelled out on the other.

Once the right symbols are lit up, the door will open and you can continue to the last part of the quest. Thankfully, there aren't any more difficult puzzles waiting for you up ahead.

Completing the quest will not only reward you with a ton of treasure, but more importantly the Touch of Death skill.

This is Where Winds Meet's stealth takedown. To use it, approach an enemy from behind and press the highlighted button to silently dispatch a foe. You'll get a chance to test it out after reaching the surface.

Touch of Death is an incredibly important skill, but there are other techniques hidden in Qinque that you should learn before getting too far in the main story. Like the Echoes of Old Battles quest, you can find these listed in the Jianghu Legacy category of your journal.
