The Reliquary of Compassion is one of the most rewarding environmental puzzle locations hidden within the northern wilderness of Ghost of Yotei. Finding and solving this ancient site allows players to test their problem-solving skills while unlocking valuable gear and upgrades. This complete walkthrough details where to search for the shrine and how to solve every step of the puzzle.
Finding the Reliquary of Compassion in Teshio Ridge
To locate the Reliquary of Compassion, players must navigate to the snowy region of Teshio Ridge located in the northern area of the map. The reliquary itself is nestled close to the Chilled Peak Shrine rather than standing completely out in the open. Traveling northwest from the local waterways will put you on the correct path toward the mountain shrine.
How to Reach the Chilled Peak Shrine Area
As you climb up the mountain trail toward the Chilled Peak Shrine, you will eventually reach a wide frozen lake. Taking the left path near a hidden campfire leads directly to a narrow rock gap you can squeeze through. Passing through this passage brings you directly into the secluded cavern containing the Reliquary of Compassion.
Solving the Reliquary of Compassion Statue Puzzle
The puzzle requires players to ignite the four baskets at the base of the surrounding pillars using fire arrows from the Hankyu bow. Once the fires are lit, you must rotate the stone wolf statues so their faces line up properly toward the central pillar and Mount Yotei. Adjusting the pedestals in the correct sequence aligns the mechanism and resolves the mountain riddle.
Rewards for Completing the Reliquary of Compassion
Completing this puzzle rewards players with unique gear such as the Yotei's Mercy Mask and sword cosmetics. Additionally, finishing the reliquary upgrades the Charm of Mount Yotei, which significantly reduces incoming damage and restores health after a successful parry. Securing these rewards provides a substantial combat boost for the challenging battles ahead.
