All Will-O’-The-Wisp Locations in Qinghe

The Will-O’-The-Wisp Collection makes up the largest portion of the Meow Meow quests in Where Winds Meet. Each challenge sends you sprinting through a marked area, collecting glowing blue wisps before the timer runs out.

You don’t need to interact with the wisps. Simply running through them counts as collecting them. Each route also gives you more wisps than you actually need, so missing one or two won’t ruin the run.

There are 14 Wisp challenges in Qinghe, each tied to a Meow Meow sitting somewhere along the path.

All Unstoppable Bamboocut Meow Meow Tasks in Qinghe

All Unstoppable Bamboocut Meow Meow Tasks in Qinghe

The Unstoppable Bamboocut quests are one of the simpler Meow Meow challenges in Where Winds Meet. Much like the Will-o’-the-Wisp challenges, you’re given a timer and a target. In these tasks, the goal is to cut down a certain number of bamboo stalks before the countdown ends. As soon as the challenge starts, swing your weapon wildly and chop through as much bamboo as possible. Every stalk that falls automatically adds to your total.

These quests are not mechanically difficult. Speed is more important than precision, and going full frenzy mode is usually the fastest way to succeed. You can find four Unstoppable Bamboocut challenges located throughout the Qinghe region.
