17 jul 2022 at 11:39

During the new summer event, you will encounter a series of riddles and puzzles that you need to solve while exploring the temporary dungeons of certain characters. In this guide, we will go through how to quickly complete the Xingqiu's Dungeon, solve all the puzzles, and collect all the treasure chests. Let's get started!

Xingqiu's Dungeon Walkthrough: How to Enter

On the Broken Isle, where the storyline leads you, you will discover a special drum that will help you travel to the ethereal realms. Interact with it to enter the dungeon. Once inside, approach the drum and hit it to activate the nearest platform.

Move to the first floating platform without turning anywhere. There you will encounter a puzzle with gramophones where you don't need to do anything. Activate the mechanism, and it will do everything for you. Immediately in front of you, an air tunnel will activate, which you need to jump into to reach the new platform. 

 After landing in the new location, look in the corner - there awaits a small treasure chest.

Take the chest and jump down, flying to the next platform with a puzzle.

Solution:

  1. Step on the first note and keep walking until you step on the moving note;
  2. Continue walking as shown in the screenshot below;

  3. On the next platform, just keep walking (there's nothing difficult) until a cutscene starts.

Genshin Impact: How to Solve the First Gramophone Puzzle?

After the cutscene, you will find yourself on an island where you simply need to activate the puzzle (the gramophones are initially set correctly). Don't forget to open the chest that appears right after solving it. Don't fly away yet - we need to activate the gramophones again, but before that, you need to rotate 1 gramophone once (the correct position is shown in the image below).

After that, a gust of wind will appear, leading you to the door you need! Open it with the key you found in the rich chest.

Clear the Water Arteries Penetrating the Mountains: Walkthrough

After the cutscene with the flower, head back to the island. There, you need to clear the water arteries that penetrate the mountains. To do this, simply follow the musical stream until you reach a stone that needs to be shattered with an elemental skill (we used Geo).

Next, you will come across another gramophone puzzle.

How to Solve the First Gramophone Puzzle on the Island?

To clear the water arteries, you need to:

  1. Rotate the bottom gramophone once (the screenshot already shows the correct position);

  2. Activate the device and run into the cave!

Watch a short dialogue, exit back to the street, and follow the stream of music up the mountain. At the summit, you will find another gramophone puzzle.

How to Solve the Gramophone Puzzle at the Mountain Summit?

Here's the solution (the positions in the screenshots are already correct):

  1. So, rotate this gramophone 3 times;
  2. Rotate the gramophone near the device once. Done, you can activate it! 

After completing the puzzle, descend and collect the water you will need later. Before entering the dungeon, grab the chest located slightly below your current location.

Dungeon and Xingqiu's House

Enter the dungeon again and water the flower. Proceed to the next door, where a series of dialogues await you. After the conversation with the ghostly people, clear the path of thorns. There are no puzzles here, just activate the main mechanism - no changes are needed, the gramophones are initially in the correct position. Then follow the path, and you will have a conversation with little Fey. 

Upon learning about the problems of the child, find his friends and reconcile them. Then follow the marker through the dungeon. Before the girl's house, you will encounter another gramophone puzzle, but here again, no changes are needed. After the dialogues, you will return to the island.

Clear the Water Arteries on the Island: Walkthrough

As before, follow the water flow to the left, until you reach the first gramophone puzzle on the island.

How to Solve the Gramophone Puzzle on the Island

So, you will stop near the dwelling of the Hilichurls, next to which the puzzle and a chest are located. Below you will find the solution.

After solving it, continue upstairs (towards the stream that leads you). Along the way, there will be many simple chests in visible places - don't forget to collect them all. You will also encounter a phantom creature that needs to be guided like a fairy, and it will give you a chest as a reward.

Location of the Water Arteries

So, the first one is located here (see the screenshot below). It will appear as a stone that needs to be shattered.

To find the second one, head to the teleporter on the island, marked below. Now you need to follow the streams to the right.

Along the way, you will come across another puzzle, the solution of which is shown below:

The beam will destroy the gate, but ahead, there is another obstacle. Now you need to rotate the gramophone once, as shown below, and activate the mechanism again.

Then follow the stream that will lead you to the exit. Outside the cave, turn left and follow the stream that will lead you upward. 

At the mountain summit, you will find the second obstacle, located next to a simple chest.

Ice Heart in the Xingqiu's House Dungeon: Plant the Seed

After breaking the barriers, talk to your friends and head back to the dungeon. Activate the mechanism without making any changes to summon the wind current.

Fly to the top until you reach the drum. Approach it and press "Remove". After watching the cutscene of the bridge appearing, cross it to reach the Ice Blossom; there are no puzzles there. Listen to the dialogue and return to the Archipelago near the drum, then teleport to the adjacent location.

Walk around the perimeter, and you will notice a ray where you need to approach and plant the seed. Then return to the drum and press "Change Mountain Style," which will give you another task of clearing the water streams.

Clear the Water Arteries on the Island

Just like before, follow the water flow until you encounter a barrier that needs to be destroyed (we used Geo). Next to it, there will be a flower that needs to be activated using an Anemo character's wind, and then you need to ascend through the air. At the top, you will find a chest and the first barrier.

Following the classic approach, return to the drum and go in the opposite direction towards the new stream. There, you will encounter another musical puzzle. 

Solution:

  1. Before activating the note mechanism, follow the blue note path (there's nothing difficult there either). 
  2. Activate the mechanism without making any changes to the gramophones. 
  3. Approach the largest gramophone and rotate it once.
  4. Activate the mechanism again.
  5. Ascend through the red wind current.

At the top, you will encounter another barrier and some chests. After collecting the rewards, return to the drum and enter the dungeon where you will need to listen to the dialogue again. Then teleport to the place where you planted the flower seed.

Investigate the Fatui Device

After the dialogue near the flower, teleport to the location marked below and head towards the Fatui device. Destroy the slimes and proceed with the story. At this stage, you can consider the most challenging part of the quest completed. Good luck!
