Exploring the big world of Where Winds Meet brings many fun surprises, especially the cute Meow Meows. They are magical cats in fancy outfits that give out quests, puzzles, and minigames.

Beating their challenges gives you great rewards and lets you visit the special Meow Meow Temple store.
Understanding the Meow Meow Quest System
The Meow Meow quest line is one of the most fun extra activities in Where Winds Meet, with 31 different challenges across Qinghe. Each finished task gives players Echo Jade, coins, experience points, and helps you earn Meow Meow Bells. You can use these bells to buy special treasures and items at the Meow Meow Temple at Halo Peak.
Players always have something new to try because the quests are very different in how hard they are and what you have to do. Some test how fast you are, while others need you to pay close attention and solve problems. Some puzzles even need you to unlock certain abilities before you can finish them, so you have to explore and grow your character. The best part is that even if you fail a quest, you can try again as many times as you want.
Will-o’-the-Wisp Collection Challenges (14 Locations)
The biggest group of Meow Meow quests is about collecting glowing blue wisps found along certain paths. These timed challenges have players running through different parts of Qinghe. They are picking up these ghostly flames before time runs out. The wisps look like little fires and are added to your total as soon as you run through them, so you do not have to pick them up yourself.
| Quest # | Location | Wisps Required | Notes |
| #1 | Bamboo Abode | 11 | Collect wisps before you ran out of time |
| #2 | Bamboo Abode | 6 | Collect wisps before you ran out of time |
| #3 | Bamboo Abode | 7 | Collect wisps before you ran out of time |
| #4 | Stonewash Strand | 16 | Collect wisps before you ran out of time |
| #5 | Starfall Spring | 6 | Collect wisps before you ran out of time |
| #6 | Crimson Cliffs | 12 | Collect wisps before you ran out of time |
| #7 | Crimson Cliffs | 8 | Collect wisps before you ran out of time |
| #8 | Peace Bell Tower | 8 | Collect wisps before you ran out of time |
| #9 | Sage’s Knoll | 7 | Collect wisps before you ran out of time |
| #10 | Sage’s Knoll | 12 | Collect wisps before you ran out of time |

| #13 | Kilnfire Ridge | 12 | Collect wisps before you ran out of time |
| #14 | Riverside Station | 9 | Collect wisps before you ran out of time |
There are more wisps than you need on each path, so missing one or two will not make you lose. Some challenges have jumping and climbing sections, but being fast and accurate remains the most important thing.
Logic-Based Puzzle Locations (11 Challenges)
The eleven puzzle Meow Meow quests are the most challenging for your mind in the quest line. Unlike wisp collection or bamboo cutting, puzzle cats do not tell you right away what they want. Players have to look around, find clues, and figure out the answer on their own.
| Quest # | Location | How to Complete | Required Skills/Notes |
| #15 | General’s Shrine | Pick up the missing statue and place it in the empty spot | Look for the ‘lift up’ action prompt |
| #16 | Stonewash Strand | Rotate the statues to face each other | Check the standing stone for clues |
| #17 | Crimson Cliffs | Collect fireflies and use Glow of Fireflies on sparkling plants | Last plant is on the wooden bridge above |
| #18 | Kilnfire Ridge | Inspect statues and use the correct attack to turn them toward center | May require Shadow Step ability |
| #19 | Sage’s Knoll | Use Meridian Touch on the cats | Unlock via Yan Qiren’s quest in Stonewash Strand |
| #20 | Twinbeast Ridge | Rotate statues to face the tree next to the standing stone | Check standing stone for clues |
| #21 | Twinbeast Ridge | Turn off lit lamp and switch on the back lamp | Investigate the Tasting Ledger on the desk |
| #22 | Witherwilds | Place mini-statues in front of larger ones with lit fires | Use Wind Sense to find statues easily |
| #23 | Witherwilds | Utilize Celestial Seize to remove poisonous plants and save Herb Gatherer | Unlock via “Foul Play” quest in Heaven’s Pier |
| #24 | Riverside Station | Persuade the Grave Robber to release the cat using dialogue | Utilize your gift of the gab |
| #25 | Still Shore | Give the cat a fish | Buy from nearby vendor or catch one yourself |
The investigative prompt serves as your best friend during these puzzles, typically revealing crucial clues needed for solutions.
Unstoppable Bamboocut and Cat Chase Challenges
Four Unstoppable Bamboocut tasks are simple action challenges where players have to cut down bamboo stalks before time runs out. You need to chop quickly instead of being careful to win.
Unstoppable Bamboocut Tasks
| Quest # | Location | Bamboo Required | Notes |
| #26 | Bamboo Abode | 15 | Cut the bamboo before time runs out |
| #27 | Peace Bell Tower | 15 | Cut the bamboo before time runs out |
| #28 | Twinbeast Ridge | 25 | Cut the bamboo before time runs out |
| #29 | Blissful Retreat | 15 | Cut the bamboo before time runs out |
Cat Chase Challenges
The two Cat Chase quests are probably the hardest Meow Meow challenges. These tricky cats run away as soon as you get close, so players have to chase them very quickly.
| Quest # | Location | How to Complete | Tips |
| #30 | Crimson Cliffs | Chase and catch the cat | Jump when going through white circles to fly |
| #31 | Witherwilds | Chase and catch the cat | Follow the floating paw print indicators |
White smoky rings show up along the chase path. Jumping through them turns on your Lightness Skills and sends you flying forward. Players have to be both fast and accurate while staying on track and finishing in time.
Conclusion
Finishing all 31 Meow Meow quests in Qinghe is a big achievement in Where Winds Meet. They are giving dedicated players lots of rewards and letting them enter the special Meow Meow Temple at Halo Peak. So make sure to clear the quest to get all the cute rewards and unlock the temple.
