In Wuthering Waves, the Fagaceae Peninsula hides a set of color-based conundrums known as Overflowing Palette puzzles. Most of them sit inside Oakheart Highcourt, a towering maze whose walls climb into the sky. Because the morphed paintings are tucked into corners, roots, and central platforms, spotting them from ground level is nearly impossible. The good news is that the climb is not as rough as it looks. Players can scale the outer wall, reach the roof, equip their wings, and glide around to scout each puzzle. There are four Overflowing Palette puzzles in the peninsula, and they are clustered close enough that a single flight path can cover them all. Below is a complete 2026 guide to every location and solution.
How Overflowing Palette Puzzles Work
Each Overflowing Palette is a small painting puzzle. Players choose a color and then convert squares of another color into the chosen one. The steps must be followed in order, because a wrong conversion can leave the board in a messy state. The goal for every puzzle in Fagaceae Peninsula is to make all squares match a single target color. The four puzzles have two red targets and two yellow targets, so keeping track of the final color matters.
A handy route is to start at the Resonance Beacon near the entrance of Oakheart Highcourt. From there, players climb the front wall. Once on the roof, they can head left for the first puzzle, fly to the middle for the second, glide to the top right for the third, and then travel northeast for the final one. The Cuddly Wuddly ability is useful for climbing the large tree roots, while the wings make crossing gaps and reaching high platforms much faster.
Overflowing Palette #1: Top Left Tree Root
Location: Top left tree root of Oakheart Highcourt.
Target color: All red.
Route: Teleport to the Resonance Beacon at the entrance, climb the front wall, and head left toward the large tree root. Players can use the Cuddly Wuddly ability to climb the root and reach the puzzle.
Solution:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Select the green color and paint the blue squares green. |
| 2 | Pick yellow and turn all the green squares yellow. |
| 3 | Select red and turn all the remaining yellow squares red. |
✅ Once the board is fully red, the puzzle is complete.
Overflowing Palette #2: Central Platform
Location: The very center of Oakheart Highcourt.
Target color: All red.
Route: From the first puzzle, players can equip their wings and fly over to the middle platform. The puzzle sits in plain sight once they land.
Solution:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Select blue and turn all the green squares blue. |
| 2 | Select red and turn the remaining blue squares red. |
✅ This one is shorter than the first, but order still matters. Converting the wrong color first can force a restart.
Overflowing Palette #3: Top Right Tree Root
Location: Large tree root at the top right of Oakheart Highcourt.
Target color: All yellow.
Route: From the central platform, players can fly over to the top right tree root. The puzzle is close to the previous location, so the glide is short.
Solution:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Select green and turn all the blue squares into green. |
| 2 | Pick red and turn all the green squares into red. |
| 3 | Lastly, use yellow to turn all the remaining red into yellow. |
✅ The final yellow conversion cleans up the board.
Overflowing Palette #4: Coast of Anticipation
Location: Northeast of Oakheart Highcourt, at the Coast of Anticipation. The puzzle is situated on a ruin near the shore.
Target color: All yellow.
Route: This puzzle is not inside Oakheart Highcourt. Players can fly across from the previous area and land near the shore ruin. It is the final puzzle in the Fagaceae Peninsula set.
Solution:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Select red and turn the outer yellow squares into red. |
| 2 | Then, pick blue and turn the red squares into blue. |
| 3 | Lastly, select yellow and turn the remaining blue squares into yellow. |
✅ With that, all four Overflowing Palette puzzles in Fagaceae Peninsula are solved.
Quick Reference Table
| Puzzle | Location | Target | First Step | Final Step |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Top left tree root, Oakheart Highcourt | Red | Blue to green | Yellow to red |
| #2 | Center of Oakheart Highcourt | Red | Green to blue | Blue to red |
| #3 | Top right tree root, Oakheart Highcourt | Yellow | Blue to green | Red to yellow |
| #4 | Coast of Anticipation ruin | Yellow | Outer yellow to red | Blue to yellow |
Final Tips for 2026
Wuthering Waves continues to draw explorers into Fagaceae Peninsula, and the Overflowing Palette puzzles remain a favorite for players who enjoy small logic challenges. 🎨 The biggest hurdle is not the color sequence, but finding the paintings in the first place. Oakheart Highcourt's maze is tall, winding, and full of blind spots. Climbing to the roof and using wings to survey the area saves a lot of time.
If a puzzle is hard to spot, players should look for the glowing canvas shape against the stone and roots. The Cuddly Wuddly ability is especially helpful on the tree root puzzles, while normal climbing and gliding cover the rest. Because the four puzzles are close together, it is efficient to solve them in one trip: start at the entrance Beacon, clear the top left root, fly to the center, glide to the top right root, and then head northeast to the Coast of Anticipation.
Finally, players who make a mistake can reset the puzzle and try again. The sequences above are short, but they rely on converting the correct color at the correct time. With the right order, all four Overflowing Palette puzzles can be finished quickly. 🧩
Information is adapted from Giant Bomb, a long-running games database and editorial outlet, to frame how compact collectible-style challenges like Wuthering Waves’ Overflowing Palette puzzles are typically approached: prioritize fast traversal, mark clustered objectives, and rely on repeatable “do-this-then-that” sequences to avoid resets. That mindset fits the Fagaceae Peninsula set well—scouting from Oakheart Highcourt’s roof with wings to locate canvases first, then executing the color conversions in strict order (two ending in red, two ending in yellow) to clear all four puzzles efficiently in one loop.
