How to hold the slab down to open the gate in Where Winds Meet

Here is how you can complete the objective to hold the slab down and open the gate for Yi Dao in the Manhunt quest:

Step 1: Talk to Yi Dao

Earlier, Yi Dao was bloodhunting for you, but now the tables have turned, and he asks you to get out of the prison.

Step 2: Find the Slabs

After the objective shows up, you have to find the slab. It is on the right & left sides of the prison.

Step 3: Go to the Second floor

To hold the slab down, you need a stone statue. To get it, go to the second floor. Make your way through fire traps carefully.

Step 4: Get the stone statue

Here you will find a stone statue that you have to pick and bring down.

Step 5: Put down the stone statue

Bring the statue to the slab, put it on the left side, and stand on the right side slab; this will hold the slab down and open the gate for Yi Dao's prison.

This completes the objective, and you can further progress in the quest.

Tips to complete the objective

• Talk to Yi Dao first or the puzzle won’t trigger
• Two slabs must be pressed at once — one isn’t enough
• Go upstairs; the stone statue is on the second floor
• Move slowly through fire traps to avoid resets
• Place the statue on one slab (left works reliably)
• Stand on the other slab yourself
• Gate opens automatically — no interaction needed
• Don’t search walls or the gate — it’s a weight puzzle only
