Flickering Hope is one of the shorter and more challenging Wandering Tales that can be found in Where Winds Meet. In order to advance in this tale, you will have to talk to a number of characters, light up a lantern and switch the time period. The last stage of the tale will require you to use the Nightborne Glow skill, so you must have it equipped before going there.
How To Start The Flickering Hope Wandering Tale


Open the map in Hidden Mountain and look under Wandering Tales for Flickering Hope. This is where you can find out that Brighthale Cliff is your starting point for the story. In order to complete the quest, you should be prepared for the last stage by equipping your Nightborne Glow skill.
Only then will you be able to proceed with the next stage. Otherwise, the characters Yueya and A Wu won’t be able to finish the story. Start A Radiant Resolve from Brighthale Cliff by talking to A Wu. Afterwards, ignite the lantern near A Wu.
First, go to the marked location and talk to the girl in the house during daytime. Then, after the dialogue, switch to nighttime and grab the key from the man who is located nearby. After getting the key, return the time to daytime and unlock the door as well as have a conversation with the girl.

After that, go to the Time menu and set the time to the Zi hour. Observe the lantern one more time to mark the first night. Go to the Zi hour of the next day and inspect the lantern one more time. Having done this twice, you will get the quest from Xu Ji.
Finally, go to the Xu hour of the next day and stay close to the lantern. There you will meet Cai Hong. Speak to her via the interact button.

In case the quest doesn’t update, then just check the time whether you have checked the lantern after each jump through the timeskip. It’s not going to work if you light the lantern once more in another night since you need to perform two checks within two Zi hours.
Open your map and go to the indicated point. Before you get there, you need to equip the Nightborne Glow skill, as otherwise the dialogue at the end won’t start. You should equip the Nightborne Glow skill from the General or Entertainment category.
Once you get to the indicated marker, use this skill to complete the story at the end. Afterwards, just speak with Yueya and A Wu until you see that the whole dialogue plays out. Once the dialogue ends, both Wandering Tales will be marked as complete.
