What Is the Embodying Verses Quest?
Embodying Verses is a series of Exploration Quests found all across Jade Gate Pass. You encounter the same NPC, Meng Wuya, at different locations, and must take photos based on his specific pose requirements. Each successful photo rewards Echo Jade, Oscillating Jade, and Hexi Exploration XP — all while boosting your all-important Compendium Points.

Think of it as Where Winds Meet‘s version of a photo challenge — simple in concept but scattered enough across the massive desert map to require some navigation.
How to Complete Each Embodying Verses Instance
Step-by-Step for Every Location
- Find Meng Wuya at one of his seven marked positions across Jade Gate Pass
- Speak with him to receive that location’s photo requirements
- Move to the designated photo-taking spot he indicates
- Open Camera Mode and position your character
- Strike the required pose — each location has different pose criteria
- Capture and save the photo to complete that instance
Talking to Meng Wuya reveals the photo requirements you need to complete his request. After meeting all the requirements, enter Photo Mode, take a picture of your pose, and save it to your storage to complete the objective.
Meng Wuya Location Highlights

- Heroic Tomb (centre of lake) — Final quest location, most scenic shoot
- Multiple desert and cliff edge locations spread across both the open plains and elevated sections of Jade Gate Pass
Rewards — Why You Should Complete All Seven
Completing all instances of Embodying Verses rewards you with Echo Jade and boosts your Compendium Points — each reward track gives an increasing number of Echo Jade as you hit higher milestones.
