A Faltering Flame Walkthrough
- Speak to the Lamp-lighting Monk
- Speak to Benevolent Li
- Speak to Mingniang
- Speak to Deng Santong
- Speak with the Lamp-lighting Monk
Speak to the Lamp-lighting Monk
Speak to the Lamp-lighting Monk and he'll relight the lamps. Ask the monk each of the three Buddha's Verses for clues on how to get his old friends to come to the temple and relight the lamps.
Speak to Benevolent Li
Speak to Benevolent Li who is found in the temple's gardens just south of where the Lamp-lighting Monk is located. Progress his dialogue and he'll eventually agree to go to the temple to relight the candles.
Note: You can choose any response to his questions and the only change is how he reacts to your character.
Solve the First Candle Puzzle
Return to the temple and after a short cutscene, interact with the candles on the table to the right for a puzzle. You need to move the candles around to place the special lantern on its designated place.
Speak to Mingniang
Advance the time to the next day then head to the large temple area and speak with Mingniang. Similar to Benevolent Li, you can respond to her questions in anyway and it will still progress the quest.
Complete her dialogue and return to the temple where the Lamp-lighting Monk is located for a short cutscene.
Solve the Second Candle Puzzle
Interact with the candles to solve another puzzle. This time, there are two candles placed in a box, functioning as one unit.
Speak to Deng Santong
Advance the time to the next day then head to the temple just opposite of the Lamp-lighting Monk's temple and speak with Deng Santong.
Make your way back to the Lamp-lighting Monk and after a short cutscene, Deng Santong will attack you. Once defeated, another cutscene plays between the Monk and Deng Santong.
Solve the Third Candle Puzzle
Interact with the candles for the third and last puzzle. Now there are two candle boxes you need to move.
Speak with the Lamp-lighting Monk
After solving the puzzle, the Lamp-lighting Monk will have a conversation with Deng Santong which reveals the history between the two. You can choose any reply at the end and it will only change how Deng Santong understands the Monk. Complete the dialogue to finish the quest.
