Hello Taijiquan friends & gamers!If you searched “Where Winds Meet Tai Chi Mysteries” today, congratulations — you’ve landed exactly where you need to be. The hottest side quest in Where Winds Meet right now is called “Cries in the Distance” (also known as “Unravel the Tai Chi Mysteries”). It is the only quest that literally forces you to master real Taiji principles to beat the boss. Below is the complete step-by-step guide (no spoilers outside the quest itself) plus why this quest is making Taiji players smile from ear to ear.Quest Location & TriggerRegion: Southwest Qinghe (青河), Moonveil Mountain area   Landmark: Peace Bell Tower (和平钟塔)   How to start: Climb to the very top of the bell tower → hear crying → slide down the southwest slope → fall through the hidden cave entrance on the cliff face. Full Step-by-Step Walkthrough (Tested on PC & PS5, 2025 latest patch)Rescue Feng Jisheng (冯季盛)  Shoot the tree roots with fire arrows → open the chest for the key.   Step on one pressure plate yourself, talk to Feng, let him stand on the second plate → Yin-Yang disc appears. The Famous “Tai Chi Yin-Yang Puzzle” (Bagua Mechanism) Goal: Heaven/Earth symbols must face the wall; Water/Fire symbols must look at each other. Number the four pillars clockwise starting from the green-leaf tree root:  Pillar 3 (in front of green leaves): Rotate COUNTER-clockwise ×1   Pillar 4 (opposite): Already correct, don’t touch   Center Yin-Yang disc: Rotate ×1 (switches which pairs are linked)   Pillar 2 (between candlesticks): Counter-clockwise ×1   Pillar 1 (starting position): Clockwise ×2   Yin-Yang disc: Rotate ×1 again → Puzzle solved, door opens! Real Taiji note: This is literally how Taoist temples align the Four Symbols (Si Xiang 四象)! Lower Level Exploration Use Mighty Drop (hold Crouch + Jump in mid-air) to land safely. Collect 5 clues on the ground, talk to Feng, proceed. Boss Fight – Thick-Skinned White Bear  Normal attacks deal 0 damage.   Perfect dodge its charges → run behind it → press Tai Chi (default F key) → grab and throw it into the rock pillars on the left/right/front walls.   You must hit the rocks 3 times (make sure you are close to the wall when releasing, otherwise it won’t count).   After the third throw the bear disappears, fight ends. Rewards  Medicinal Tales (skill book)   Story letters & ring   Ebon Iron ×14, Jade, Gold, etc.   Achievement “Tai Chi Mysteries Unraveled” Why Real Taiji Players Love This QuestThe bear fight is 100 % “using softness to overcome hardness” — exactly the same as push-hands against a much stronger opponent.   The puzzle uses authentic Bagua logic that many of us learned when we set up home altars.   The Tai Chi skill itself (learned from the honey bear earlier) is currently considered Tier-1 Mystic Skill by the entire community — perfect for shield-breaking, fishing, and puzzle-solving. Pro tip from our Chen-style members: When you throw the white bear in-game, imagine issuing Fa Jin at the exact moment you release — your real-life throws will feel stronger tomorrow morning!Whether you came here for the walkthrough or because a game finally made Taijiquan look cool, welcome! Feel free to ask anything about the real Taiji principles behind the moves — we’re happy to help both gamers and future practitioners.May the winds guide you, Tai Chi Wuji Team

Small correction after today’s patch: if the puzzle still bugs, just reset the Yin-Yang disc twice at the beginning. Works 100 %. Also, the white bear sometimes does a fake charge → roar combo now — wait for the second paw slam before you run behind. Saved me 5 deaths.

Yesterday a 17-year-old boy walked into our Yang-style class holding his phone: “Teacher, can you teach me the exact circle from Where Winds Meet Tai Chi throw?” I showed him the first four energies of Grasp Sparrow’s Tail. Ten minutes later he whispered “Holy… it’s the same feeling.” Best recruitment day in 15 years. Thank you, game devs.
