 Use Meridian Touch to turn the statue clockwise and refract the light to the hole on the right to open the door, |
2. Solve the Light Puzzle
Enter the small passage and drop down into the hall. Solve the light puzzle by redirecting the light into the hole in the wall. Like before, use Meridian Touch to turn the statues.
3. Delve Deeper into the Cavern
Delve deeper by entering the cavern behind the statue that moved. As you are crawling under the rubble, the ground will give way and you will fall through the floor.
4. Find Your Way Back Upstairs
Find your way back upstairs. Investigate the sitting body at the front of the room. This will summon three Mechanical Puppets. Deflect their attacks to defeat them, and you will get a key.
5. Unlock the Door to the Next Area
With the key, open the door to the next area. Go down to a cave on the right and jump over the barrels to get a treasure chest. Go to the path on the left to enter the next area.
6. Defeat the Mechanical Puppets
The next area will have another set of Mechanical Puppets to defeat. After defeating them, climb up the stairs and through the door.
7. Descend Deeper into the Passage
Walk down the passage, and there will be a cut scene. Make sure to use the Hero's Tomb before you start exploring. Go down the corridor, and jump down to a lower passage. Enter the doorway and squeeze through the fallen pillar.
When you exit the passage, turn left and jump down where the chest is, and down again onto the lower ledge.
Skip the Treasure
An alternate route is to skip the treasure and jump straight down onto the wooden platform to the get to the ropes faster.
8. Cross to the Other Side
Head further down and cross the rope to the other side. Keep going until you reach the end of the rope bridges. Be careful! Falling will lead to your death, and you will respawn at the beginning of the area where the Hero's Tomb is.
Once you reach the last rope bridge, jump down to a lower ledge, and another cut scene will play.
9. Outrun the Collapse
After the cutscene, the ground will start collapsing. Outrun the collapse and keep an eye out for quicktime events. There will be another cut scene at the end of the run. Continue making your way to the bottom by jumping down ledges until you reach the ground.
Once there, unlock the Boundary Stone for the Thousand-Buddha Cavern.
10. Defeat Tian Ying
There will be another Buddha Statue with a mirror. Use Meridian Touch to turn the statue and have the light point towards the door. Enter the passage into the Buddha Grotto, and there will be another Hero's Tomb there.
Make your preparations and defeat Tian Ying. After defeating the boss, escape through the underwater cave.
The Promised Light Bosses
Tian Ying Overview
 Tian Ying
|
Difficulty Rating | ★★★★★ |
|---|---|---|
| Location | ||
| Sundara Land, Qinghe | ||
Tian Ying is a boss fought during the The Promised Light Quest.
During the 1st phase we highly recommend using the Meridian Touch mystic art, as this can easily cancel his shockwave attack while he is channeling to knock him down for a few seconds. During Tian Ying's 2nd phase, he will eventually float in the air and use the Buddha statue to deal a series of wide AoE attacks throughout the arena, run to the edge to avoid damage. During the last phase, ignore the minions and parry the original.
