Revision 5

Overview

Jijeong Temple in Chaos is the central puzzle sequence of Chapter 9: The Sage of the Desert. Kliff must repair three damaged pensive statues by finding their broken stone hands scattered around the temple grounds and using Axiom Force to reattach them. Each statue presents a different spatial puzzle requiring environmental traversal and careful use of the grab-and-carry mechanic.

Quest Details

Objectives

1. Repair the first pensive statue (reattach one stone hand)

2. Repair the second pensive statue (reposition body and attach two hands)

3. Repair the third pensive statue (carry hand from a distant cliffside)

4. Report to the Chief Monk atop one of the temple isles

Walkthrough

Statue 1

The first statue is the simplest. A hand symbol appears on the map marking the location of the missing stone hand. Approach it and use Axiom Force to grab the hand, then carry it to the pensive statue's platform. When you see a green light, snap the hand into place. This teaches the basic mechanic.

Statue 2

The second statue requires two hands to be found and attached. Both hands are located in the immediate temple area. Use Axiom Force to grab each one and carry it to the correct position. The statue's body may also need to be repositioned on its base before the hands snap into place.

Statue 3

The third statue is the most complex. One hand must be retrieved from a distant cliffside accessible only by climbing. Carry it back using Axiom Force, then release it near the statue. The hand will float in the air once released near the correct position, so do not worry about it falling. Place it to complete the final repair.

Reporting to the Chief Monk

After all three statues are repaired, you must find the Chief Monk. He has moved from his original location to the top of one of the temple isles. Climb up using the marked climbing route and speak with him to complete the quest.

Tips

• Before starting the statue puzzles, unlock the two nearby waypoints (Abyss Nexus and Abyss Cresset). This makes backtracking far less tedious.

• When carrying stone hands with Axiom Force, your movement speed is reduced. Clear any nearby enemies before picking up the pieces.

• The green light indicates the correct placement position. If the light does not appear, you may need to adjust the statue's body first.

• The third statue's hand floats when released near the target. This is intended behavior, not a glitch.
