Wall Puzzle Solution

Puzzle Goal

Your task is to light up the characters that appear in the Northern Oath clue:

Left Wall: 山 河 寸 土

Right Wall: 誓 死 不 易

Tip:

Pulling a block out = lights up the character

Pushing a block in = dims the character

Step 1 — Activate the Puzzle

Stand in front of the statue.

Perform the Northern Oath gesture.

The stone character blocks on both walls will unlock for interaction.

Step 2 — Input the Correct Character Sequence

The puzzle requires interacting with three key symbols in this order:

• Press the block with “漂”

• Press the block with “百”

• Press the block with “移”

Although pushing a block normally dims it, these three specific blocks act as switches that configure both walls into the correct glowing phrases.

Step 3 — Verify the Result

Check the walls:

Left Wall should display: 山 河 寸 土

Right Wall should display: 誓 死 不 易

If any character is incorrect:

Pull or push blocks to correct individual letters. The puzzle is forgiving—you can always reverse a mistake.

Here's what the finished walls should look like on either side:

Solving the wall-mounted puzzle grants access to the secret chamber.

Something want to say

After completing the wall puzzle and seeing these two phrases, take a moment to reflect on their meaning: “Rivers and mountains, every inch of land; sworn to defend, never to yield.” This is more than just a quest clue which symbolizes a deep sense of loyalty and determination to protect one's homeland. In the world of Jianghu, as in the game, every challenge and every choice carries weight, reminding players that just as every inch of land is worth defending, so too are the promises and resolve we uphold.
