1. Speak to the Lamp-lighting Monk
Speak to the Lamp-lighting Monk in the Lantern Hall. He will ask for your help in rekindling the flame of the lamps. After agreeing to help him, listen to the Buddha's three verses, each of which hints the days when the monk's three friends will appear.
For the current day, you need to find Benevolent Li.
2. Find Benevolent Li
Follow the objective marker to Benevolent Li's location, which is near the building across the Lantern Hall. Talk to Benevolent Li to lead him back to the Lantern Hall. You can choose any response to his questions, the only difference being how he reacts to your character.
3. Solve the First Lantern Puzzle
Return to the Lantern Hall. After a short cutscene between the monk and Benevolent Li, interact with the lanterns on the table to the right for a puzzle. You need to move the lanterns around to place the special lantern on its designated place.
4. Find Mingniang
Next, you need to find the monk's second friend Mingniang. Set the time to the next day and follow the objective to the large temple close to the Lantern Hall. Inside, talk to Mingniang standing by the entrance. As with Benevolent Li, you can respond to her questions in any way.
5. Solve the Second Lantern Puzzle
After leading Mingniang back to the Lantern Hall, interact with the next set of lanterns to solve another puzzle. This time, there are two lanterns placed in a box, functioning as one unit.
6. Find Deng Santong
Set the time to the next day again to find the monk's third and last old friend Deng Santong. You can find him standing by the building across the Lantern Hall, the same one near Benevolent Li's location. Talk to him to lead him back to the Lantern Hall.
After speaking with the Lamp-lighting Monk, Deng Santong will attack you. Defeat him to pacify him.
7. Solve the Third Lantern Puzzle
Interact with the candles for the third and last puzzle. Now there are two candle boxes you need to move.
8. Listen to the Monk and Deng Santong
The Lamp-lighting Monk will have a conversation with Deng Santong, revealing their history together. You can choose any reply at the end; your response only influences how Deng Santong understands the monk's words. Finish the dialogue to complete the quest.
