In The Still Shore quest in Where Winds Meet, the game gives you new emotes, abilities, and a flute. This part of the mission asks you to open a sealed main gate, but the solution isn’t clear unless you understand how these new tools work. This guide explains the puzzle in an easy way so you know exactly what to do and can continue the quest without getting stuck.
How to Start the Still Shore Quest
In order to start the Still Shore quest, go to Qinghe and find the Everclare Clinic. There’s a well to climb down at the back of the clinic. After passing through the well, the Still Shore quest will start. You need to open a locked gate in that area. Right before this part, you will see a cutscene during which your character will unlock a flute. After the cutscene, you will receive a few new emotes and abilities, which are important for solving the puzzle ahead.
How to Open the Sealed Main Gate
The game will display the new poses at the bottom of the screen, where it says that they are unlocked. This could be somewhat misleading, particularly on a console, as the emote wheel offers so many choices, and the controls aren’t very clear.
Using any of the new emotes on the pressure plate is the only way to move your character forward. Activating the plate is not possible with just your character’s weight, so the trick is to use an emote or the flute to pull all the nearby zombies toward you. Their weight will then press down on the plate.
In case you are playing on a console, first, open the emote menu by pressing Start and then look at the right side of the screen where the emotes tab is located. Change to the puzzle emotes part and select the one indicated in the quest guide. The mechanism will be activated when the zombies come to the pressure plate. Afterwards, just push the door open and continue the mission.
