Where Winds Meet: Road to Redemption Guide
The Road to Redemption Wandering Tale in Where Winds Meet is one of those quests that feels more mysterious than it actually is. You’ll meet a monk named Daohui who’s deep in meditation, repenting for past sins, and while he doesn’t directly ask for your help, the game expects you to figure out what he needs.
The catch? No quest markers. No glowing trail. Just a cryptic mention of the “Pagoda of Karmaful Karma” and you’re left to figure out the rest. If you’re not familiar with the Bodhi Sea region yet, this quest can send you on a wild goose chase. That’s where this guide comes in.
Available on Steam and PlayStation, this Wandering Tale is relatively quick once you know where to go—and the rewards make it worth your time.
How to Start the Road to Redemption Wandering Tale
Finding Daohui can be a bit tricky since he’s tucked away in a quiet spot at Halo Peak. Here’s exactly where to look:
Location: Head to the Halo Peak region in Qinghe. Daohui is located in the shade of a mountain, kneeling in front of a small Buddha statue while reciting scriptures.
What to do: Approach Daohui and initiate conversation. He’ll tell you about his past sins and mention they’re connected to the Pagoda of Karmaful Karma in the Bodhi Sea. While he doesn’t explicitly ask you to fetch anything, the game expects you to track down the “Illegible Final Note” to help him find peace.
This is typical Where Winds Meet storytelling—subtle, indirect, and designed to make you explore. If you’ve played other Wandering Tales like Charm Pouch, you’ll recognize the pattern.
Road to Redemption Walkthrough: Finding the Illegible Final Note
The item Daohui needs is hidden at the Pagoda of Karmaful Karma, located inside Yongfu Temple in the Bodhi Sea region. Here’s your step-by-step path to finding it.
Getting to Yongfu Temple in Bodhi Sea
Important note: Yongfu Temple is NOT marked on the map by name, so you’ll need to navigate carefully. The Bodhi Sea region is directly east of Halo Peak.
Two ways to reach Yongfu Temple:
- Fast travel (if unlocked): If you’ve completed the Bodhi Sea Campaign Quest (the one that rewards you with the Flaming Meteor Mystic Skill), you’ll have access to the Bodhi Sea teleport point. This appears as a red umbrella icon on your map and drops you right in the middle of Yongfu Temple. Super convenient.
- Manual travel: If you haven’t unlocked the teleport yet, you’ll need to travel east from Halo Peak into the Bodhi Sea region. Use the wooden bog bridges to cross the swamp areas—don’t try to swim through, you’ll just waste time and possibly aggro enemies.
Locating the Illegible Final Note
Once you arrive at Yongfu Temple, here’s exactly where to find the note:
Step 1: If you teleported via the red umbrella, you’ll spawn directly in front of a large drum in the center of the temple. Turn around 180 degrees so you’re facing away from the drum.
Step 2: Activate Wind Sense (V key) to highlight interactive objects in the area. This makes the note much easier to spot.
Step 3: Look to your right, toward the main entrance of the temple. You’ll see the Illegible Final Note lying on the front steps, directly underneath the doorway.
Pro tip: If you’re having trouble spotting it, look for the Assist Signposts just outside the temple entrance. The Illegible Final Note is right next to them. Wind Sense should make it glow, so it’s hard to miss once you’re in the right area.
Completing Road to Redemption
Once you’ve grabbed the Illegible Final Note from Yongfu Temple, it’s time to head back to Daohui at Halo Peak.
What to do:
- Fast travel back to Halo Peak (or ride if you prefer the scenic route)
- Return to Daohui’s location near the Buddha statue
- Hand over the Illegible Final Note to complete the quest
Daohui will thank you for helping him find closure with his past, and you’ll complete the Road to Redemption Wandering Tale.
Road to Redemption Rewards
Completing this quest gets you some solid loot:
- Echo Jade x40 – Essential for various upgrades and enhancements
- Qinghe Exploration x10 – Boosts your exploration progress in the region
- Coin x5,000 – Decent gold for mid-game expenses
- Character EXP x5,000 (or Stored EXP x5,000) – Nice experience boost
- Polished Mirror Player Avatar – Exclusive cosmetic reward for completing the quest
The Echo Jade alone makes this quest worthwhile, especially if you’re working on upgrading your weapons and martial arts. Plus, the player avatar is a unique reward you can’t get elsewhere.
Tips for Road to Redemption Wandering Tale
Here are some extra pointers to make this quest smoother:
Complete Bodhi Sea Campaign first: If you haven’t done the Bodhi Sea main quest yet, I highly recommend completing it before attempting Road to Redemption. Not only will you unlock the Flaming Meteor skill, but you’ll also get the teleport point that makes this quest WAY faster.
Use Wind Sense liberally: Seriously, just keep Wind Sense active when you’re searching for the note. It highlights all interactive objects and makes finding quest items much easier. If you’re struggling to locate items in general, check out our tips and tricks guide.
Watch out for enemies: The Bodhi Sea can be dangerous if you’re under-leveled. If you’re having trouble with combat, consider improving your build with our best weapon combinations guide or best early builds guide.
Combine with other Halo Peak quests: Since you’re already in the area, knock out other Wandering Tales like Charm Pouch while you’re there. Efficient quest routing saves tons of travel time.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I need to complete any prerequisite quests before starting Road to Redemption?
Technically, no—Road to Redemption is available as soon as you can reach Halo Peak. However, I strongly recommend completing the Bodhi Sea Campaign Quest first. It unlocks the fast travel point that makes retrieving the Illegible Final Note WAY faster. Without it, you’re looking at a long trek through swampy terrain.
What happens if I can’t find the Illegible Final Note at Yongfu Temple?
The note is definitely there, but it can be easy to miss if you’re not using Wind Sense. Make sure you’re looking at the front entrance steps, directly under the doorway. If you’re still struggling, look for the Assist Signposts outside the temple—the note is right next to them. Also, make sure you’re at Yongfu Temple in the Bodhi Sea, not a different pagoda or temple.
Can I complete Road to Redemption without the Bodhi Sea teleport point?
Yes, but it’ll take longer. You can manually travel from Halo Peak to the Bodhi Sea using the wooden bog bridges to cross the swamp. Just be prepared for a longer journey and potentially more enemy encounters. If you’re trying to level up fast, the extra combat might actually be beneficial.
Is the Polished Mirror Avatar worth completing the quest for?
If you’re into collecting cosmetics and player customization, absolutely! The Polished Mirror Avatar is exclusive to this quest, so it’s the only way to get it. Beyond the avatar, the Echo Jade and exploration points make this quest worthwhile regardless. If you’re interested in other customization options, check out our guide on free outfits and hairstyles.

Final Thoughts on Road to Redemption
The Road to Redemption Wandering Tale is a straightforward quest once you know where to go, but the lack of quest markers definitely adds some challenge. The biggest hurdle is figuring out that you need to travel all the way to the Bodhi Sea region—something the quest doesn’t spell out clearly.
Once you have the Bodhi Sea teleport unlocked, this becomes a 5-minute quest: teleport in, grab the note, teleport back to Halo Peak, hand it over, done. The rewards are solid—Echo Jade is always valuable, and the exclusive Polished Mirror Avatar is a nice bonus for completionists.
If you’re working on maxing out your Qinghe exploration or collecting all available cosmetics, Road to Redemption is definitely worth completing. Just make sure you’ve got Wind Sense active when searching for that note, and you’ll be golden.
