Walkthrough
Follow the Cat
Exit Lioncrest Watchtower through the courtyard archway. A cutscene triggers showing Rulupee and their cat Jiji. The cat leaps off the wall and starts running. Hold X/A to auto-follow it. You will need to manually navigate a few spots where the path crosses a river and climbs over rocky ledges, but for the most part the follow mechanic handles the pathing.
Learn Nature's Grasp
At the ruins, a blue holographic silhouette of the child appears. Use your observation ability (L1/LB) and wait for the "Learning in Progress" bar to fill. This teaches Kliff Nature's Grasp, an Axiom Force ability that lets him manipulate environmental objects like walls, logs, and boulders.
Learn Focus
After learning Nature's Grasp, target the blue-highlighted rock wall ahead and activate the ability (Triangle + Circle / Y + B, then rapidly tap X/A). The wall rises, revealing a cave entrance. Inside, find another meditating child silhouette and use L1/LB again to learn Focus, the second ability from this quest.
Solve the Ancient Ruins Puzzle
Deeper inside the cave, three circular platforms are embedded in the wall. You need to strike each one with Force Palm (hold R3/Right Stick) in a specific order:
Middle platform (center)
Left platform
Right platform
When hit in the correct sequence, all three platforms lock into the wall simultaneously and energy begins flowing through them. The puzzle completes and the way forward opens.
Speak with the Child
Exit the cave and talk to Rulupee waiting outside. A short conversation triggers, followed by a meeting with Bilwise that wraps up the quest.
Collectible: Abyss Cresset
Before leaving the area, check for a small pillar near the cave entrance. It holds an Abyss Cresset, a collectible that awards a skill point and completes the challenge "Abyss Cresset of Meandering Hills." These items sit on small pedestals and are easy to walk past if you are not looking, so take a moment to grab it before heading to the next quest.
Tips
Nature's Grasp gets heavy use throughout the rest of Chapter 2 and beyond. The burning house rescue in The Flames of Greed, for example, requires it to clear logs blocking a doorway under a time limit.
The Force Palm puzzle sequence (Middle, Left, Right) is fixed. If you hit them out of order, the platforms reset and you can try again without penalty.
The Inventory Expansion Tool from the quest rewards adds 3 extra inventory slots, which is helpful given how quickly you accumulate crafting materials in the Hernand region.
