Main Walkthrough
Artifact Seekers Festive Town Opening and Lake Route
Help the festival cook, open the courtyard chest and redirect the bamboo channels to reach the lake and ruins.
- Begin in the festival courtyard. Lower the kite, speak with the woman beside the cooking table and collect Lantern 1/5. Search the scene for the broom, knife, stone pineapple, brush and the key needed for the chest.
The Festive Town route begins in this courtyard beside the cook and festival decorations. - Unlock the chest and inspect its board. Use the clue found in the courtyard to set the marked pieces correctly, then take the bamboo sections and handle from inside.
Use the nearby courtyard clue to arrange the marked chest board before taking the bamboo parts. - Use the broom on the obstructed roof or ledge to recover the metal carrot and dragon-head piece. Keep both items; they open later routes rather than the first courtyard exit.
- Place the bamboo sections and handle on the water mechanism. Rotate the channels until water reaches every required outlet, then operate the handle to reveal the path toward the lake.
Join the bamboo channels into a continuous water route to open the lake path. - At the lake, search the red-flower bush and water's edge before moving on. Place the stone pineapple where its matching recess appears and continue toward the old ruins.
- Inspect the carved ruins column and record the arrangement on its stone tablet. Collect the signet and keep the column pattern for the sealed Festive Town door ahead.
Copy the arrangement on the ruins column; it supplies the pattern for the next sealed door.
Courtyard Chest Board
Read the symbols and positions in your own courtyard clue rather than copying a screenshot blindly.
How to solve it
- Insert the key and open the chest panel.
- Compare the movable marks with the clue collected in the opening scene.
- Move each marked piece into its matching position to release the bamboo sections and handle.
Bamboo Water-Channel Puzzle
Rotate every bamboo section until the stream forms an unbroken route through the board.
How to solve it
- Install all missing bamboo pieces and the handle.
- Start at the water inlet and rotate adjoining sections one at a time.
- Remove dead ends and connect the final outlet, then pull the handle to open the route.
Festive Town Library, Scientist and Kitchen
Use the ruins pattern to enter the library, obtain the firework list and unlock the kitchen with the metal carrot.
- Fit the signet into the patterned door and reproduce the ruins-column arrangement. Enter the library, then collect the heron piece, feather and book figurine while checking the shelves and floor.
Turn the signet sections to match the pattern recorded on the ruins column. Search the library carefully; several story items and later collectible claims return here. - Find the numerical clue that belongs to the scientist's door. Enter the four digits shown in your game; the frequently pictured 5137 is only an example and is not universal.
The four-digit code must come from your own clue. A code shown in another playthrough may not work. - Speak with the scientist inside his house. Take the list of firework components and examine the window or shelf clue before leaving.
The scientist provides the fireworks list and later helps prepare the festival powder. - Return to the library, place the book figurine in the cabinet and use the scientist-house clue to arrange the books or symbols. Take the ladder parts and the next route item from the opened compartment.
- Insert the metal carrot into the street mechanism. Move it through the carved path without crossing blocked edges to release the kitchen door.
Guide the metal carrot through the carved route to unlock the kitchen. - Enter the kitchen and collect Lantern 2/5. Search the shelves for ingredients and tools, but leave the main carp preparation until the Amber Carp and complete recipe are available.
You will return to this kitchen after catching the Amber Carp and gathering every recipe ingredient. - Repair the ladder in the library and climb to the upper shelf. Take the recipe, phoenix-head clue and cross-shaped key needed in the temple district.
Ruins Signet Pattern Door
The target arrangement is printed on the stone column in the ruins.
How to solve it
- Insert the signet into the center of the door.
- Rotate or move the surrounding pattern pieces to match the ruins tablet.
- Check orientation as well as position; the door opens only when the full carving matches.
Scientist Door Four-Digit Code
The four digits vary. Read the nearby visual clue; do not assume 5137 is the answer in your save.
How to solve it
- Identify the four objects or marks represented above the lock.
- Count or translate them using the clue found on the route.
- Enter the values from left to right and confirm the code.
Metal Carrot Path Puzzle
Move the carrot through each open segment of the carved route until it reaches the final socket.
How to solve it
- Place the metal carrot at the starting point.
- Trace the open grooves and avoid sealed branches.
- Finish at the opposite socket to release the kitchen door.
Festive Town Temples, Dragon Fountain and Swamp
Open the temple district, restore the dragon fountain and build the monkey-gear bridge into the swamp.
- Use the cross-shaped key to open the route into the two-temple courtyard. Pick up Lantern 3/5, inspect the dragon statue and gather the loose fountain parts around the scene.
- Repair the dragon fountain by installing the missing head and pipe pieces. Rotate the pipe sections in stages until the water flows through the dragon system and releases the hidden item.
Install the missing dragon and pipe parts, then rotate the channels until water reaches the outlet. - Enter the temple with the damaged roof. Search the steps and pottery, collect saltpeter and the stone banana, and record any door or decoration clue before moving on.
- Place the stone banana on the monkey mechanism. Arrange the interlocking gears so every active gear turns and lowers the bridge.
Connect the full gear train so the monkey mechanism lowers the bridge. - Cross into the swamp, speak with the panda and examine the damaged boat. Collect the boat-repair pieces and note the fishing location for the Amber Carp.
The swamp contains the panda, boat-repair route, fishing spot and a bonus-game claim table. - Explore the abandoned building and surrounding platforms for the fishing equipment. Assemble the rod or line, fish the water and keep the Amber Carp for the festival cook.
- Open the temple trunk and complete its board in under six minutes to earn the timed-puzzle star. The trunk still opens if you exceed the star limit, so the story route is not blocked.
Finish this trunk puzzle within six minutes to secure its bonus star. - Repair the boat and cross the water. Before leaving, inspect the group of three rocks because it becomes the clue-controlled entrance to the Episode 6 secret room.
Set the three rock groups from the pendant-side counts in your playthrough to reveal the hidden entrance.
Dragon Fountain Pipe Puzzle
Create one connected water route through the installed dragon heads and every required pipe section.
How to solve it
- Install the missing dragon-head and pipe pieces.
- Begin at the inlet and rotate each junction so no required branch ends at a wall.
- Complete each revealed stage until water reaches the final dragon outlet.
Monkey Gear Bridge
Place the gears from largest spacing to smallest so each neighboring pair meshes and the final gear turns.
How to solve it
- Insert the stone banana to activate the mechanism.
- Fill the widest gaps with the largest gears, then use smaller gears between them.
- Check that the rotation passes across the complete chain and lowers the bridge.
Temple Trunk Timed Puzzle
Complete the trunk board in less than six minutes to earn one of the ten Episode 6 stars.
How to solve it
- Study the target before making the first move; the star timer begins with the puzzle.

Assemble and place the glass lotus to activate the statue clue. Copy the displayed poses exactly to unlock the Monkey King's chamber. - Enter the Monkey King's chamber, collect Lantern 5/5 and inspect the small table and hanging decorations. Speak with the Monkey King to learn what must be done next.
Monkey Face Disk Puzzle
Build the complete faces in fewer than 30 moves; plan ring rotations before committing them.
How to solve it
- Identify which facial fragments belong together before rotating any disk.
- Use the shared rings to bring matching upper and lower fragments into the same face.
- Avoid undoing completed faces and finish while the move counter remains below 30.
Yin-Yang Mechanism
Rotate the nested parts until the white and dark curves form a clean Yin-Yang symbol.
How to solve it
- Set the large outer curves first.
- Rotate the inner disks so the opposite-color dots sit inside their matching halves.
- Confirm the continuous S-shaped boundary to open the incense temple.
Glass Lotus and Monkey Statue Poses
