What this An Unholy Prophecy quest guide covers

An Unholy Prophecy layers traversal, puzzles, and a boss fight into one Jianghu Legacy. This guide walks all 13 objectives in order so you know when to use fire arrows, when to slot Meridian Touch, and how to clear the spike hall without wasting tries.

If you searched "An Unholy Prophecy where winds meet" after getting stuck at the traps or the door seals, follow the breakdown below. Each section calls out the exact mechanic—braziers, emote timing, Meridian Touch, and the Shi Zhen fight—so you don't miss a trigger.

Fire arrow mechanics

Only fire arrows count for the three rooftop braziers—normal arrows won't trigger them, so bring extras.

Puzzle solving

The sealed doors require Meridian Touch. The emote trigger lives in the Puzzle tab (F2) and must be used after the braziers.

Combat & Traps

Pace the spike hall instead of rushing, grab both weapon caches, then focus adds before finishing Shi Zhen.

Stuck? Try these fixes

  • Fire arrows not lighting braziers: Equip fire arrows specifically—standard arrows do nothing. Craft or buy a few extras before climbing.
  • Can't find the Mysterious Painter: He's inside the Martial Temple at Jadewood Court. Swap channels or rest until he spawns.
  • Spike trap hallway is brutal: Observe the spike rhythm, move one segment at a time, and heal up first. There is no timer, so patience works.
  • Doors stay locked: The interaction only appears with Meridian Touch equipped. Other skills won't open the seals.
  • Missing weapon hand-in: Pick up weapons from both the left and right wings. If you dismantled them earlier, re-enter or change channel to try to respawn the racks before the statue prompt.
  • Guards hit too hard: Sprint past most patrols by following quest markers. You only need to fight in the final chamber.
  • Quest didn't advance after braziers: Return to the rooftop platform and play the 'An Unholy Prophecy' emote from the Puzzle tab (F2).
