This article introduces what may be Red Candle’s new ARG “The Dark Legacy of the Sun Tribe” (tentative title), which began on 2025/09/10, documenting the puzzle-solving process.
Special thanks to the Discord community members. Red Candle released this content at noon this time, and by the afternoon when we came to solve puzzles, the first day was already completed XD If you want to reminisce about the old Devotion ARG, here are the links:
Red Candle’s Devotion ARG (1): Light a Prayer Lamp and Enter the World of Cigu Guanyin
Red Candle’s Devotion ARG (3): The Ending of Guangxi Pride
As I write this article, it’s the first day of the ARG of “The Dark Legacy of the Sun Tribe.” If anyone wants to solve puzzles together, please join the Red Candle Discord for some excitement! 😀
On 2025/09/10 around noon Taiwan time, Red Candle’s official YouTube channel released a video titled “The Dark Legacy of the Sun Tribe.” At the end of the video, it mentioned leaving clues to continue.
If you enter the Red Candle Discord channel, you’ll see some special content:

// 執行結果：成功If you return to the video, behind the character Yuuki you’ll see constantly flashing text content.
Combined with the text comparison table information in the video, you can match a series of English strings: yyydyrjjaccgtoynjpjatlsasctejhsms
At the end there’s a “t” which is the Tumblr logo, so you can navigate to a Tumblr URL.
Although there are so many letters, not all text needs to be used. Actually, you need to extract the content that’s circled, so it becomes – Dragon Palace 5 (thanks to Discord user ノキ for the diagram)
However, using 5 won’t work because 5 is actually 4 – normal people have five fingers, but the video mentions four-fingered people, so changing it to 4 works!
Combining the text with the Tumblr URL, you can find: https://www.tumblr.com/dragonpalace4
This is Yuuki’s first article (I learned my lesson, now I screenshot everything XD):
Here are some attachements with the post:

// 執行結果：成功At this point, the Discord group continued solving puzzles based on clues in the article:
The first departure point and initial direction suggest roughly northeastern China.
港口向東啟航，沿濱海北上，試圖經濊地前往目的地。⋯便與燕國餘部與海夷惡徒狹路相逢。
Our tribe set sail estward from the harbor, then turned north along the coast, attempting to circle through the lands of the Yemaek to reach our destination. But we had not gone far when we encountered remnants of the Yan forces and marauding sea raiders.
Second and third page descriptions:
⋯我決定改變路線，直接向東航行⋯島嶼一一出現眼前、錯落有致、若隱若現。這個地方退潮後泥灘會裸露出來、⋯⋯此地氣候本來很寒冷，然而到了黃昏，婦女在房子旁邊起爐灶燒飯，不久，腳下漸漸感到溫暖。⋯⋯一族世世代代以捕魚為生，部落首領擁有一個大漁場⋯⋯風乾魚肉做成的腐爛醃漬物，臭氣直衝鼻腔⋯⋯島的北邊有一族，幽居在巨石墳墓附近，⋯
… I changed our course and sailed directly east… a scattering of island emerged on the horizon – some distant and hazy, others near and distinct. Our fleet choose one to land on. When the tide receded, it left behind a filed of thick mud, …The climate here was bitterly colde, but by dusk, the women lit stoves besides their homes to cook. Soon after, I could feel warmth rising from beneath my feed… These people have survived for generations by fishing. The tribe’s chieftain owns a large fishing ground, and all the villagers obey his command. … During the feast, they served a fermented dish made from dried fish. Its stench hit the nose sharply, making it hard to swallow. … To the north of the island lives a secluded people. They dwell near the old giant stone tombs. …那一族所建的石墓，都是門的形狀⋯以前有傳說，一場毀天滅地的大洪水，淹沒了XXX⋯⋯
The tombs they built were shaped like doorways… Their words echoed xxx the ancient speak of a great flood…
Final Deduction: The first landing point was Ganghwa Island in Korea.
When someone deduced Ganghwa Island, Yuuki posted this article – today’s mission complete!
Easter Eggs
You can find Yuuki’s website. After entering, this page has blurred strings that, when decoded, become a shortened Google form – forms.gle/hj4ybcnivgxYYSHA. Entering leads to a “Join me if you also seek the truth” page.
However, according to Discord members, this was content from last time.
Some people also found Yuuki’s personal Twitter and Facebook.
Also, apparently Yuuki had already posted on Discord before XD
Thanks for reading:D
