Conquering Inazuma’s Mind-Boggling Puzzles in Genshin Impact: A Traveler’s Guide
Inazuma offers thunderous skies and cherry blossoms. It’s more than stunning views and thrilling combat in Genshin Impact. It features puzzles that challenge even experienced Travelers. Don’t worry! This guide helps you navigate the mysteries of Inazuma, leading to rewarding “aha!” moments.
From rotating cubes to cryptic warding stones, we explore solutions for every puzzle type in Inazuma. Consider this your cheat sheet, minus cheating. Here, we celebrate the joy of authentic puzzle mastery.
Decoding Cube Puzzles: Direction is Key
The cube puzzles in Inazuma may appear decorative, yet they conceal treasures for those who interpret their patterns. The main rule? Direction! Each cube has an arrow. Your goal is to align all arrows to face the same target direction.
To solve these puzzles, identify the target direction first. Observe your surroundings. Sometimes, a landmark or general feeling indicates where to aim. After locking onto the direction, it’s time to rotate. Channel your inner Rubik’s Cube expert and align each arrow with the target. Clockwise or counterclockwise, try different methods! Enjoy the process, or embrace the frustration.

Arrow Puzzles: Aiming for Enlightenment
Inazuma’s arrow puzzles offer different challenges. Let’s explore these directional tasks.
Inazuma Arrow Puzzles (Electro Edition): These involve a dial with an arrow base. The secret is electro-alignment. Use Electro-infused characters or enemies to direct the arrow at the base. Create a line of electro energy to guide the dial into position. Think digital spirit-leveling with added lightning.
Watatsumi Arrow Puzzles (Seelie Assisted): In whimsical Watatsumi, arrow puzzles often need help from Seelies. These floating spirits guide the arrows, sometimes spaced far apart. You adjust a few pointers while your Seelie associates do the rest. Teamwork is vital, even with ethereal friends.
Warding Stone Puzzles: Paper Charms and Rotations
Warding Stones sound menacing. These puzzles consist of ancient stones, paper charms, and ritualistic rotation. They focus on delicate manipulation, not brute force.
Your journey with warding stones starts by collecting scattered paper charms around the stone. Picture a mystical energy gathering, or simply a purposeful stroll. Once you’ve gathered all charms, it’s stone time.
Typically, you rotate both top and bottom sections of the warding stone. The exact number varies, often involving twice for each part. However, the third Warding Stone might have a different sequence. For example, seal the third by rotating the top three times followed by the bottom five. Watch for clues, or use trial and error – it’s all part of the Inazuman adventure.
Statue Puzzles: Following the Glowing Path
Statue puzzles emphasize observation and movement. Watatsumi’s Statue Puzzles exemplify this simplicity.
The answer is clear – glowing tiles! Step onto the first illuminated tile and follow the glowing trail to the statue. It’s a guided tour, Inazuma style. No cryptic riddles, just follow the pretty lights. Simple, right?
Mechanism Activation: Adjuvant to the Rescue
In Genshin Impact, mechanisms often require encouragement. In Inazuma, that often means your trusty Lumenstone Adjuvant helps clear pesky Oozing Concretions.
These concretions block mechanisms, causing trouble. To activate a mechanism encased in this goo, use your Lumenstone Adjuvant to zap them away. After clearing them, the mechanism is ready to function. Sometimes you also need to recharge it, giving it a jumpstart.
For example, remember activating three mechanisms in the Heavenly Stone’s Debris quest? Clear Oozing Concretions, recharge if required, and there you go! For a more detailed guide, check this out.
Lightning Strike Probes: Pointing the Way to Power
Lightning Strike Probes resemble purposeful weather vanes with a puzzle twist. They must be oriented correctly to attract lightning strikes. Each probe has a visual cue showing its correct angle. Rotate until it’s pointing right.
How do you know it’s correct? The Lightning Strike Probe glows when aligned properly, ready to attract lightning. It’s akin to tuning an antenna for elemental power. Get it glowing! You’re set.
Stone Tablet Puzzles: Deciphering Ancient Secrets
The stone tablet puzzle is classic. It focuses on interpreting clues rather than manipulating objects. “How to solve the stone tablet puzzle?” is broad, as each one is unique. The key resides in the tablet’s text. Look for patterns or keywords that could suggest a sequence, location, or action needed. Stone tablets act like ancient instruction manuals if you unlock their secrets.
Standing Stone Puzzles: Sequencing is Everything
Standing Stone puzzles revolve around sequence. A set of stones requires interaction in a specific order to unlock rewards. Sometimes sequences are clear; other times, you deduce them from environment clues or nearby tablets.
For instance, consider a standing stone puzzle where the sequence is obvious: northwest stone, southeast stone, southwest stone, northeast stone, north stone. Approach each stone in that order to interact. It’s like playing stone-based Simon Says, but with better loot.
Stone Gaze Puzzles: Pharaoh’s Perspective
Stone Gaze puzzles involve manipulation of statues and sightlines. Ensure a statue sees a specific point by removing obstructions.
Consider a Stone Gaze puzzle featuring a pharaoh statue. A broken pillar might block its view northward. Your job? Unblock it! This could mean destroying a pillar, moving an object, or otherwise clearing the path for visibility. It’s all about perspective.
Bell Puzzles: Ringing in Rewards
Bell puzzles are straightforward – simply ring the bells! Yet, not just any ring will suffice.
In Genshin Impact, specific attacks ring bells. Basic attacks from Sword, Claymore, or Polearm users count. Use your favorite melee character. Give those bells a solid whack! Sometimes, to solve a puzzle, you just need to hit things.

Temple Puzzles: Floor Plate Follies
Temple puzzles involve floor plates in specific sequences. The Defiled Temple puzzle requires rotating plates in order to solve it. Forget complicated mechanisms. Sometimes, the answer is right at your feet.
For the Defiled Temple puzzle, follow this five-step solution. Step 1: Rotate the bottom plate. Step 2: Rotate the right plate. Step 3: Rotate the bottom plate again. Step 4: Rotate the top plate. Step 5: Rotate the right plate last. Complete these steps, and you will finish the puzzle.
Eye of Watatsumi Puzzle: Unveiling Secrets of the Deep
The Eye of Watatsumi puzzle is multi-staged. It explores the mystical heart of Watatsumi Island. It involves a series of actions to unlock the island’s secrets.
Your journey starts by reading a stone tablet at the “Eye.” Every good puzzle starts with directions, right? Break the seal over the shrine next. Seals are just waiting to be broken in Genshin Impact. Once the seal is shattered, activate Elemental Sight to find three Elemental Orbs. You must disperse these orbs using Pyro, Cryo, Anemo, or Geo. After dispersing the orbs, you will receive the Spirit Pearl, key for further mysteries.
Amakumo Peak Underwater Puzzle: Submerged Sleuthing
The Amakumo Peak Underwater Puzzle takes puzzle-solving beneath the waves. This challenge combines exploration with activating mechanisms. Use this guide for a visual walkthrough.
Start by touching the nearby Seelie. Seelies always know the way, right? Then activate some mechanisms. Find a red mechanism to the right of a barrier and activate it. Next, find a yellow mechanism on the left and activate it too. These actions will manipulate water levels or barriers, opening new paths.
Fire Puzzles: Playing with Pyrotechnics
Fire puzzles in Genshin Impact are classic elemental challenges. In Inazuma, they involve lighting pillars with Pyro attacks. The sequence may vary, but apply fire to designated pillars.
A typical fire pillar puzzle might need you to light them in order, starting from one side or moving in circles. Use your Pyro skills effectively. Characters like Amber, Xiangling, or Bennett help here. Unleash fiery abilities and watch the pillars blaze.
Thunder Manifestation Unlock: Stormy Gatekeeping
Want to face the Thunder Manifestation boss? Prove your puzzle-solving skills first. Unlocking this boss ties to completing the “Seirai Stormchasers” world quest series. This questline is your key to accessing the boss arena.
Within the “Seirai Stormchasers” quest, you will face a warding stone puzzle. Solving it is essential to progress and face the boss. So, remember your warding stone rotation techniques!
Seirai Stormchasers Quest: Katheryne’s Call to Adventure
To start the “Seirai Stormchasers” questline, go to Inazuma City and talk with Katheryne. She is the Adventurer’s Guild receptionist. She always has quests ready, including one to confront the Thunder Manifestation. Katheryne is your friendly quest giver.
Offering at Perches: Feather Fetch Quest
The Offering at Perches quests involve feathers. Specifically, you retrieve feathers that scatter when you touch a perch. These perches are scenic, but touching them triggers a feathery frenzy.
Interact with a perch, and it will scatter feathers around. Your task is to collect all scattered feathers. It’s a glorified fetch quest with an avian twist. Gather the feathers and offer them at the perch for rewards. Who knew birds could be so demanding?
Siren Statue Puzzle: Melodic Mechanisms
Siren Statue puzzles involve statues with movable arms, and sometimes a conch. These puzzles guard doorways or hidden passages, needing manipulation to proceed.
Adjust the arms of two statues on either side of the door. Move their arms in a specific way to open the path forward. Some puzzles have a central statue with a conch. To solve these, swim to it and hit that statue with an attack. It’s like playing a giant, stone musical instrument.
Mystery of the Stones: Thunderbird’s Legacy
The Mystery of the Stones puzzle involves Thunderbird lore and uses the Peculiar Pinion gadget. This gadget is key for interacting with Thunderbird statues.
To solve it, approach a Thunderbird Statue and use your Peculiar Pinion gadget. This will often spawn an Electro Seelie. Follow it carefully. Seelies lead on winding paths, but in this case, it’s crucial to unraveling the Mystery of the Stones. Trust the little blue spirit.
With this guide, you can tackle Inazuma’s puzzles confidently. Go forth, Traveler, and turn head-scratchers into puzzle-solving victories! When in doubt, use jellyfish and Electro attacks. Happy puzzling!
