Overview
The Meandering Hills Ruins is an Ancient Ruins puzzle where players must press three circular buttons simultaneously to activate the Abyss Cresset. The catch is that pressing one button lifts the one beside it, so the order matters.
Location
Northwest of the City of Hernand in the Meandering Hills, marked as a Mysterious Energy on the map.
Required Skills
Nature's Grasp to lift the stone gate blocking the entrance
Focus Palm to press the giant buttons inside the ruins
Step-by-Step Solution
Use Nature's Grasp to lift the stone gate and enter the ruins.
Inside you will find three circular discs on the wall. Use Focus Palm on them in this order: Button 2 (middle), Button 1 (left), then Button 3 (right).
When struck in the correct order, all three buttons slot into the wall simultaneously and energy begins flowing through them.
Tips
Each button press lifts the adjacent button. If you press them in the wrong order, the previous ones pop back out and you must restart.
Use Focus (press both analog sticks) to regenerate Spirit between Focus Palm uses if you run low.
A common frustration is accidentally hitting two buttons at once due to targeting. Make sure you are squarely facing a single disc before using Focus Palm.
Rewards
1 Abyss Artifact from the Abyss Cresset near the cave entrance. Also unlocks the Abyss Cresset of Meandering Hills challenge completion.
