A Radiant Resolve – Where Winds Meet (Full Walkthrough)

A Wu is on Brighthale Cliff with a lantern that will not stay lit. A Radiant Resolve is the Wandering Tale that settles that problem, and it runs inside Flickering Hope in Hidden Mountain.

Quick answer: Talk to A Wu, light the lantern, inspect it at the Zi hour across two nights, speak with Xu Ji, then meet Cai Hong at the Xu hour. Travel to the quest marker, use Nightborne Glow, and speak with Yueya and A Wu.

A Radiant Resolve Requirements

Open the map in Hidden Mountain and check Wandering Tales for Flickering Hope. Brighthale Cliff is the start point. The tale does not ask you to fight. It asks you to come back to the same lantern at fixed hours.

Nightborne Glow has to be ready before the last scene. Find it under the General or Entertainment skill tab and keep a slot free. Without that skill, Yueya and A Wu will not close the tale.

Note: A Radiant Resolve and Flickering Hope finish together. Claim both from the Wandering Tales menu after the last conversation, not from the cliff itself.

Zi and Xu Hour Checks at the Lantern

The clock is the real gate. You light the lantern once, then you change the in-game hour and look at it again. People only appear after the right night has passed.

When	Hour	What resolves
First night	Zi	Inspect the lantern
Next day	Zi	Inspect the lantern, then talk to Xu Ji
Following day	Xu	Talk to Cai Hong by the lantern

Speak with A Wu on Brighthale Cliff. That conversation starts A Radiant Resolve and points you at the lantern beside him.

Interact with the nearby lantern and light it. Stay on the cliff. The journal updates only after the flame is on.

Open the Time menu and jump to the Zi hour. Inspect the lantern again so the quest log records the first night.

Advance time to the Zi hour of the next day and inspect the lantern a second time. Xu Ji is the person you need after that check.

Move the clock to the Xu hour of the following day and stay by the lantern. Cai Hong shows up there. Use the interact prompt and finish that talk.

If the journal does not move, the hour is wrong or the lantern was not inspected after the skip. Relighting it on a later night will not replace those two Zi checks.

Nightborne Glow Quest Finish

After Cai Hong, the cliff work is done. The map sets a new marker. That is the handoff from watching the lantern to helping A Wu and Yueya.

Open the map and travel to the marked spot. Do not skip the skill setup on the way. The last talk will stall if Nightborne Glow is still unequipped.

Equip Nightborne Glow from the General or Entertainment skill tab, then use it at the marker. The skill is the trigger for the closing scene.

Speak with Yueya and A Wu. Let the conversation finish. That is the point both Wandering Tales lock in as complete.

Wandering Tales Rewards

Leave the scene and open Wandering Tales. A Radiant Resolve and Flickering Hope should both be ready to turn in there. If the claim option is missing, the last talk did not register or Nightborne Glow was never used.

The journal entries clearing and the claim prompt in Wandering Tales are the proof it worked. After that pickup, the lantern tale is finished.
