Once you arrive, head toward the wooden bridge and reach the middle of the flower fields. Identify the meditation spot with the help of the orange marker. Interact with it, and then Naoe will perform hand movements and sit down for meditation.

In the Kuji-Kiri activity, a pattern of four buttons will be displayed on the screen. With each pressed button, Naoe will sync the hand movements. Soon, the patterns will fade away, making way for white circles. With the help of the memorized pattern, press the buttons in the exact sequence they were presented.

For this Kuji-Kiri, you have to follow this sequence:

• Top > Right > Bottom > Left

As the rotation increases, the pace of the prompts will accelerate, making the challenge tough. For this, AC Shadows provides a setting to change the activity completion to auto. Follow these steps to activate it:

• Options > Gameplay > Quick Time Events > Auto

Keep pressing the buttons until a white background emerges, letting Naoe revisit a memory from her past.
