When exploring the vast and interconnected world ofWuchang: Fallen Feathers, players can discoverplenty of optional activities and secrets, including various puzzles like Benediction Gates with two possible solutions. Like many soulslikes,Wuchangdoesn’t explain all its rules, so at times, players may find themselves slightly confused when encountering prompts that offer only vague hints about what to do.
One such recurring puzzle typeappears near glowing blue spots, one of which instructs players to “Master Tai Chi to Grasp the Primordial Deity’s Wisdom.” Here’s everything players need to do to earn a reward.
These types of puzzles are typically solved by using a specific pose.
Tai Chi Shrine Puzzle Location in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
The Tai Chi puzzle inWuchangis quite difficult to miss, as it’s located in a small cave passage that players must navigate to reach theCloudspire regionafter finishing all their businessat Worship’s Rise. The destination can be reached from theReverent Temple Shrineby taking the stairs and unlocking the gate on the leftusing the Reverent Temple Key, obtained by defeating Commander Honglan, and then proceeding through a narrow cave passage filled with bridges and ladders. It’s easy to spot the puzzle’s location from afar, as its blue glow is visible from many angles, and the area itself is perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking a beautiful vista.
If players somehow miss the spot the first time through the passage, it can also be reached by backtracking from theHillswatch Shrinein Cloudspire and taking the elevator down. Regardless of how the location is approached, be cautious as a nasty enemy is ready to ambush the players right near the glowing spot.
How to Master Tai Chi in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
By this point inWuchang: Fallen Feathers, some players may already recognize the pattern for various pose puzzles near glowing blue shrines, especially if they didn’t miss the first two similar puzzles —paying respects before the God of Shu’s statueandlooking to the horizon to reunite with Faces of the Pastin Worship’s Rise. Once again, thetrick is to perform an appropriate posefrom the emote menu, which can be accessed by pressing:
However, there’s a small difference with the Tai Chi puzzle inWuchang. Unlike the first two places, the required pose isn’t shown in the emote menu by default. Players must manually switch one of the available poses to theTai Chi poseby pressing the “Replace” input, assigning it, and then performing it in front of the glowing bowl. One way to confirm that everything was done correctly is an audio cue and text response shortly after, along with a message indicating an item has been received.
Reward for Mastering Tai Chi to Grasp the Primordial Deity’s Wisdom
After selecting and using the Tai Chi pose near the blue bowl in the cave, players will receiveone Red Mercury Essenceas a reward. This item isn’t displayed anywhere in the inventory but is used forleveling up skills and attributes. Players can later use Red Mercury Essence at any shrinevia the Impetus Repository skill treeto unlock an additional node in character or weapon mastery progression.
