Heyo! To start the year I bring you a special treat.
Several months ago I experimented with this landmark in Kozama'uka to see if it could be used a jumping puzzle, and sure enough it can! Finding a way to progress through all of it wasn't easy, but it makes for a great challenge that is probably the hardest official puzzle, if you adopt the same self-imposed restrictions I used and follow a similar path. Be warned though, it's a bit janky.
There is no set route or rules to follow, so I'm calling this a "freestyle" run. I tried to make it interesting with some unnecessary bits that make it harder, and to challenge myself I followed a "floor is lava" approach, only stepping on the ground when necessary and forcing resets for any falls off the structure. Feel free to experiment with alternative routes to adjust the difficulty to your desire!
Unfortunately, a flying mount is necessary to transition between sections. It can be used to cheese any part of the puzzle, but that defeats the purpose, so if you're going to give this a try I recommend only using it the same way I did.
The quickest way to reach the landmark is to teleport to "Many Fires". There is a chance that the stairs will be repaired in the future, but if it comes to that we should still be able to access these through New Game+.
