The Wall Puzzle is part of the Echoes of Old Battles quest. To start, you need to head to Battlecrest Slope in Qinghe, where you’ll encounter a key NPC and fight guards, including the tough Zhang Bao.

Each block can be pushed in or pulled out, which switches its illuminated state.

Light the correct characters

You have to match the characters shown in the Yanyun Oath clue. What you need to do is pull a block out to light it up, while pushing it in dims it. Use this mechanic to show only the correct characters, removing the incorrect ones by dimming them.

On the left wall, light the characters that show mountain, river, inch, and earth. Push in the top-left block only. On the right wall, light the characters that show oath, death, not, and easy. Push in the first and third interactable blocks to dim them, leaving the correct ones lit.

Proceed through the open gate

After correctly illuminating the characters, the gate will open. Carefully make your way through it while avoiding traps, and explore the chamber with a water wheel and waterfall.
