You have encountered yet another puzzle in the hand-crafted world of Teyvat. Before running off to search guides please take your time and study the situation closely. Every puzzle solution makes perfect sense once solved, and the satisfaction beats the instant gratification hands-down. Many times the solution is not too far off, usually within visual distance.

  • Most solutions are very simple to solve, and you will be satisfied when you solved it without any help.
  • Study the environment closely and look for things out of the ordinary or clues.
