First, it’s a good idea to deal with the enemies nearby before you start exploring. This includes a mini-boss named Zhang Bao. Clear out all the other enemies, then defeat Zhang Bao to proceed.

After you defeat the enemy, open the chest behind him. You’ll find a map with four red circles marking important locations. Go around and light the braziers that are circled on the map, and put out any braziers that aren’t circled.

This action will reveal a staircase leading down to an area under the ruins. Follow it to proceed with the quest.

Wall Puzzle

Once you’ve used the Yanyun Oath emote on the statue, you’ll enter a long room with glowing blocks lining the walls. To proceed, you need to recreate the Yanyun Oath using the Chinese characters displayed on the walls, though a glitch in the game might hide these characters from view.

If you’re lost, look for helpful signs nearby – they can guide you. You can solve this puzzle even if you don’t understand Chinese, just by manipulating the blocks correctly. Here’s how to move the blocks when you first enter the area.

  • Left Wall: Push in the block furthest from you on the end.
  • Right Wall: Push in the third and fifth blocks from the end.

Once everything is lined up, the door will open.

Unclog The Waterwheel

Once you reach the lower area, go behind the waterfall and interact with the statue. This will tighten the chain and open the door.

Loot The Treasure

Once you open the door, you’ll enter the final chamber. Be sure to search all the chests, including the large one at the back – it holds the manual for the Touch of Death Mystic Art. To finish the quest, examine the writing on the back wall.
