Where to Find the Guiding Lights

Visit the objective marker in Jingyu Valley after completing the Silent Grove: The Beginning questline. You will find the marked location on the map. Once you are here, you will get the objective to perform a Scan to Locate the Footprints. Pick the Scan option from the hotbar while standing near the quest marker to get the second marked location on your left, up the stairs.
Follow along and continue to scan the area to get the third quest marker to the left of a bent tree. The trees will block your path right after and lead you to a flight of stairs going down. Follow along this path to encounter the Guiding Lights puzzle.
How To Activate The Guiding Lights
- The first light that you need to activate is right on top of the stairs, near the trees that blocked your path.
- Go down the stairs past the first guiding light and activate the second light beside it.
- Keep going down, but ignore the third light that you spot on your left.
- Continue going around until you spot a guiding light on a circular grassy area and activate that.
- Do not activate the guiding light buried in the grass with a green marker right beside it.
- Turn back and return to the light you previously ignored and activate that as the final step to solve the puzzle.
