How to complete the Will-o’-Wisp puzzle
This challenge starts automatically when you interact with the glowing pole. The wisps appear in a line going straight up the cliff, so speed and route control are everything.
The Will-o’-Wisp Battle is a timed Meow Meow Tale challenge where you must collect 12 glowing blue wisps along a steep cliff. Start the event by interacting with the pole, then follow the wisps upward. The trail moves diagonally across the rock wall, requiring fast climbing, controlled stamina, and accurate movement to hit every wisp before the timer expires. Clearing the challenge rewards Echo Jade, Bells, Coins, Oscillating Jade, and Stored EXP.
Will-o’-Wisp tips
- Follow the wisps in a smooth diagonal climb, not straight upward.
- Avoid jump-spamming—use short climb bursts to conserve stamina.
- Angle your character to “sweep” through each wisp without stopping.
- Use mobility skills if your build includes vertical movement boosts.
- Start sprinting instantly to secure momentum for the first cluster.
