How to Complete "The Winding Homeward Way" Quest
The final ring puzzle that you will likely come across is on Minacious Isle. This is a special puzzle that is part of the "The Winding Homeward Way" quest. To begin, teleport to the top of the isle's cliff, near the entrance to the hole with the rings, you will find a Seeli. Activate the Seeli and then follow him down to a pillar near the rings. He will cause the pillar to light up, giving you an order to activate the nearby elemental pedestals in.
- Tip: Be careful not to be hit by hilichurl archers when descending with the Seelie.
Keep in mind that the ruins are upside down; here is the correct order that you need to activate the pedestals in:
- Cryo
- Anemo
- Pyro
- Hydro
The pyro and hydro pedestals are located upside down and hard to reach. The hydro and pyro rings are here to help you complete the puzzle. You can adjust the rings and throw the Harpastum through them to activate the pedestals. Simply adjust the normal ring to position one and shoot the Harpastum through the hydro ring.
- Tip: You can use Amber to hit the pyro pedestal and Tartaglia, if you have him to activate the hydro pedestal.
After they have activated, a portal will open, and the Seelie will go in. Grab the anemo wisps to give you a boost into the portal. Once you go in, you will be teleported back to the mainland and need to follow the Seelie to a nearby boulder. Pull out a claymore user and break the boulder to finish the quest and claim your reward.
