7. Formation Estate

AR: 35  To unlock this dungeon you have to light the torches nearby in no particular order and then use the mechanism in the center. However, you can’t because it’s raining. To stop it from raining you need to finish the entire “Orobashi’s Legacy” questline(solution is in How to obtain all Inazuma weapons post). 

8. Palace in a Pool

AR: 38

First you need to line up all the relay arrows using Beidou or an electrogranum to unlock the electro totems. You then need to activate the totems. This should drain half the water. Jump down and you’ll see a gap you can swim through.

Keep swimming and you’ll eventually bump into a tree root you can climb up on, leading to a locked room.

To unlock the gate, you need to activate the 3 mechanisms on the wall.

In the next room you’ll see space you can climb through.

On Watatsumi Island there’s 8 demon symbols, used by the great pirate Rinzou to mark his treasures. Only #1-4 have chests, 5-8 is already raided by treasure hoarders. However, if you visit all 8 symbols you will be given an achievement “Long John Silver” that’s worth 5 primogems.

*You can only get the dig prompt after reading the treasure hoarders notes.*

After that you want to go to the below location and interact with this box. Inside will another letter from Rinzou telling you he buried another treasure in the cave.

Finding this chest will give another achievement “A Distant Sea Sheperd’s Treasure”

I’m not sure if order matters, but you do need to find the notes to get the dig prompt

At this location you’ll find a 3 by 3 puzzle and to solve it you need to use the hints from the book nearby. Mainly these ones.

“One shall be north, east shall be two. South three,  and West, four...”

“...Adding on another four for those cubes with floating stone slates on them gives us five through eight...”

“... The sole empty position shall be 9”

This tells us if the cube is facing: No floating slate            Floating Slate North: 1                            North: 5 East: 2                              East: 6 South: 3                           South: 7 West: 4                             West: 8

and the empty slot is 9 To know what direction is north use your mini-map. The goal of this puzzle is to make the sum of all columns, rows, and diagonals the same. This puzzle has 3 phases. Relog after each phase completion to get the next.

Phase 1

The ones circled in red are moveable while greens are fixed. With the given hints we can confirm that:

     a     b      c           Horizontal               Vertical                Diagonal x    -     3      8       = ? + 3 + 8 = ?             ? + 9 + 2 = ?         ? + ? + ? = ? 

y    9     -      1       = 9 + ? + 1 = ?              3 + ? + ? =?          2 + ? + 8= ?  

z    2     -       -       = 2 + ? + ? =?               8 + 1 + ? = ?

So how do we solve this? First we want look at the ones that are missing the least amount of info. Column a and row x are both 11 and missing (a,x). Diagonal / is 10 and missing (b,y).

Looking at the type of slates they are we can say (a,x) can be 1-4, while (b,y) can be 5-8. That means column a and row x can be a maximum of 15, while diagonal / can be a minimum of 15. Since the sum can’t be greater or less than 15 the answer is 15. So your solution is:

      a    b      c           Horizontal              Vertical                  Diagonal

x    4     3      8       = 4 + 3 + 8= 15          4 +9 +2 = 15          4 + 5 + 6 = 15

y    9     5      1       = 9 + 5 +1= 15           3 + 5 + 7 = 15        2 + 5 + 8 = 15    

z    2     7      6       = 2 +7 +6 =15             8 + 1 +6  = 15

Phase 2

Rinse and repeat

       a       b        c       Horizonatal        Vertical                Diagonal

x     -       9       2         ? + 9 + 2 = ?        ? + 3 + 8 = ?        ? + ? + 6 = ?

y     3       -        -         3 + ? + ? = ?        9 + ? + ? = ?        8 + ? + 2 = ?

z     8       -        6        8 + ? + 6 = ?         8 + ? +6 = ? 

column a = 11      (a,x) = 1 - 4        column a, row x,  Min - 12 max - 15 row x = 11             (b,y) = 5 - 8        column c, min - 13 max - 16    column c = 8        (c,y) = 5 - 8        diagonal /, min - 15 max - 18  diagonal / = 10                                range - min - 15 max - 15                                                         Solution = 15

      a        b        c       Horizonatal            Vertical               Diagonal x     4       9        2        4 + 9 + 2 = 15         4 + 3 + 8 = 15      4 + 5 + 6 = 15

y     3       5        7        3 + 5 + 7 = 15         9 + 5 + 1 = 15      8 + 5 + 2 = 15

z     8       1        6        8 + 1 + 6 = 15         8 + 1 +6 = 15

Phase 3

      a        b        c       Horizonatal          Vertical               Diagonal

x    -        7        -        ? + 7 + ? = ?          ? + 9 + ? = ?        ? + 5 + ? = ?

y    9       5        1       9 + 5 + 1 = 15        7 + 5 + 3 = 15      ? + 5 + ? = ?

z    -        3         -       ? + 3 + - = ?           ? + 1 +? = ?

This time the solution is given to you, 15.

Lets see what we can conclude (a, x) - 1-4 (a, z) - 1-4 (c, x) - 5-8 (c, z) - 5-8

column a - 9+6=15  (a,x) and (a,z) can be (2,4),(3,3),(4,2)

row x - 7 + 8 = 15  (a,x) and (c,x) can be (1,7),(2,6),(3,5)

column c - 1 + 14 (a,x) and (c,z) can be (7,7),(8,6),(6,8)

row z - 3 + 12 =15 (a,x) and (c,z) can be (4,8)

diangonal \ - 5 + 10 = 15 (a,x) and (c,z) can be (2,8),(3,7)(4,6)

diagonal / - 5 + 10 = 15 (c,x) and (a,z) can be (6,4),(7,3),(8,2)

you can see that row z only has 1 solution, let plug it in

     a        b        c       Horizonatal          Vertical               Diagonal

x   -        7        -         ? + 7 + ? = 15       ? + 9 + 4 = 15      ? + 5 + 8 = 15

y    9       5        1        9 + 5 + 1 = 15        7 + 5 + 3 = 15     4 + 5 + ? = 15

z    4       3        8        4 + 3 + 8  = 15      ? + 1 + 8 = 15

After filling those 2 the rest should be easy.

      a        b        c       Horizonatal          Vertical               Diagonal

x    2       7        6         2 + 7 + 6 = 15       2 + 9 + 4 = 15      2 + 5 + 8 = 15

y    9        5        1        9 + 5 + 1 = 15       7 + 5 + 3 = 15      4 + 5 + 6 = 15

z    4        3        8        4 + 3 + 8  = 15       6 + 1 + 8 = 15

Bow - Hamayumi

Obtainable through the shell scammer ”Takashi”.

Once per day you can trade in 3 Mysterious Conch to open 1 chest of your picking. Shells can be found by interacting with sparkles along the beach. Trade in 7 times to obtain.

First you want to unlock the area, the solution is in the Sacred Sakura post. From the entrance look to the left and there will be a puzzle, this puzzle will drain a portion of the water.

Hitting a cube moves the adjacent ones. If yours is set to default do 1,3,3,1. Relog to reset the puzzle.

After solving that, you want to find 2 Seelies to open this door.

1st Seelie

2nd Seelie

Yours will look a bit different but I can’t provide a undrained image. Go directly straight pass the platform, and look back.

Go through the opening.

And if you look to the left there are stairs leading up.

Go up and look back and you’ll see the 2nd puzzle, which will drain the rest of the water.

To solve it do 3,3

Open and go through the gate behind you, you’ll find another door near the left stairs. Open and go through that. Follow through it and you’ll be able to unlock the waypoint. 

The left side has a Electroculus and a Earth Kitsune Statue. The right unlocks the domain.

At the mechanism there will be a lifted block, step on it and follow the below solutions.  *Do not attempt in co-op, you won’t be able to see the block*

At the entrance of Konda village you’ll find a Miko at the fox statue. She’ll give you a quest to cleanse the Sakura tree. 

1. Konda Shrine

The first one is longer than the rest, but relatively easy if you follow quest tracker.

Talk to NPCs for clues 1. Takeru - On the roof 2. Futaba - By the Gully 3. Saimon Eri - By a shrine

From there you can easily do the rest following the quest tracker.

After completing everything head down the well. You’ll find a rock blocking the entrance, it’s breakable by using Pyro/Cryo/Geo attacks. 

Head deeper inside and the electro seelie should provide you the loaction of the Electrogtanum. Take the Electrogranum and head inside the barrier.

The shrine marked with one Magatama will give you a prompt to purify, which will ask you for the ward.

Change the order of the other shrines to the above and head to first shrine and pray. Defeat the Ochimusha.

You’ll find the exit to the right and there will be a  Electroculus above.

Extra

In the same room as the  Electroculus there is another room. You can open it by interacting with the switch directly left of the door. You would want to obtain these items. - Luxurious Chest - Old Stone Slate  - Rusted-Worn Key

To the right of the room there is another gate that leads back to the beginning. Head all the way to the bottom. Where there will be another room blocked by crates.

Remember to use a short character. You’ll find a Electroculus and if you have the Memento Lens there’s a fox statue in there too. 

2. Abandoned Shrine

You’ll find some ghost mikos and what you want to do is arrange all 3 to this structure

The mikos will move away if you talk to them and they have a pattern.

Miko 1

Miko 2

Miko 3

After getting the Memento Lens observe the Earth Kitsune Statues with it.

Recite the words to the Sky Kitsune statue: “In the Name of Narukami’s envoy. And of the Hakushin bloodline. Bring forth the fried tofu.”

Collect the ward and find the shrine

There’s 2 entrances the one to the right is only accessible if you collected the Rusted-Worn key from the Konda Shrine.

Extra The right entrance has a Electroculus, which can be obtained by using the Rusted-Worn Key from the Konda Shrine.

The left has a Seelie Court. The Seelie can be found when you use the Memento Lens on this Earth Kitsune Statue.

3. Chinju Shrine

The shrine is missing a ward, prompting you to follow the strange voice.

Ioroi will tell you to play with 3 tanukis. Follow the stairs down and you’ll find one immediately.

If you keep following him, you should be able to see him transforming into a torch in front of you.

Go further down pass the torii gates and you’ll find another sitting on the rock.

Once you follow it to the river, just continue following the river downwards and there will be 3 torches here.

Look back and you’ll see the last one. 

The tanuki will teleport you to the root.

4. Araumi Shrine

We need to first break the barrier, by activating all the Electro Monuments(4 total).

If your puzzle is set to default just hit either of these 2 times.

When you activated the mechanism go to the tower and you’ll notice unlike mines yours should have a platform, drop down to it and you’ll see 3 Earth Kitsune statues. Use your Memento Lens on them and the platform will move away. Drop down and use your Memento Lens on the Earth Kitsune Statue.

Use the Electrogranum and go through the barrier behind you. Use electro to hit the statue and the ward will appear. There is a Exquisite chest in there so don’t miss it.

You’ll notice 2 of the shrines are missing, you have to use your Memento Lens on these 2 Earth Kitsune Statues.

Araumi’s underground is too big so it will be a separate post

5. Tidal Flats Shrine

Head to #1 Use your Memento Lens on the Earth Kitsune Statue, then hit the Sky Kitsune Statue with Electro and collect the ward. Then Head to #2.

Use your Memento Lens on the Earth Kitsune statue and head down.

The Electrogranum protects you from the Balethunder effect of the area. 

Extra There’s a exit if you keep going straight, just keep following the Seelie and it’ll lead you to a Electroculus.

Final

Head back to Kazari who’s in the Konda shrine. You are now able to fight the final boss, GL and HF.

Reward The quest reward will be a mask use it to learn the Inazuma craftable Catalyst, Hakushin Ring.

Tips The battle will have the Balethunder effect, and you will have to do the magatama puzzles for the fight, so you’ll need to manage your timings. It is also the reason why you should learn the how to do the puzzles yourself. I guess you could pause and alt tab the fight every time but that ruins the fight IMO. I suggest you not to fight super close to the tumor, or else you can’t switch your characters freely. 

Phase 1

Phase 2

Phase 3

Quest triggers when you interact with a rotten plank in a shipwreck.

1. (tallest point of island) Go to either shipwreck #1 or 2 and interact with the plank

2. (tallest point of island) Go to the other shipwreck (1 or 2) and find the 2nd plank 

3. Go investigate the bubbles at wrecks 3,4,5 it does not matter which order, as the boss will always spawn on whichever you investigate last.

Quest triggers when you find the seelie on the this island.

1. Follow the seelie to a pillar and interact with it. The pillar will light up, this is the order you need to activate the monument Cyro > Anemo > Pyro > Hydro.

2. Light up the Cyro > Anemo monument

3. Adjust the Anemo ring to 2nd position and aim your Wind-Blessed Harpastum through the pyro ring or shoot it with Amber. 

4. Adjust the Anemo ring to 1st position and aim through the hydro ring this time or Shoot it with Childe.

*If for any reason nothing happens and puzzle doesn’t reset, restarting should fix it.

5. Use venti e, anemograna, or kill slimes to create a wind current to go through portal.

Quest is available after interacting with any of the murals. 

1. 

Find and take pictures of murals(5 total) scattered around the archipelago.

2. On the ground at the end of the trail there is cave blocked by a Dodo Kings Painted wall puzzle. To solve the puzzle you need the Wind-Blessed Harpastum which is obatinable on the completion on Act ll.

3. On the ground

4. On the side of the tunnel on the ground

5. On the ground

This quest can be found by interacting with a book in a hidden cave on the twining Isle. 

1. Teleport to the Twinning Isle waypoint

2. Face west and look down and you should see the cave. The cave is blocked by breakable rocks.

3. Interact with the book on the table

4. Follow the quest track to the Island then change the time to 10:00~14:00

5. Follow the trail to the 2nd island. Try to stay on course and be careful of whirlpools

Late because I stopped playing for a while, better late than never.

The puzzle itself is really simple, you play the music rocks in the right order. The pillar’s position corresponds to the music rocks so just follow the #’s in order. The only problem is that the notes are out of tune. The mountains also correspond to the pillars position and act as music water cups. Meaning you need to adjust the water levels of the ponds on the mountains to tune it. 

0.  To know how much water each mountain need you have to follow this mural. You can find this mural in a cave at the end of trail I marked. You don’t need to find this mural to complete the puzzle, but you will need it for a different quest.

Water levels can be adjusted by the stones nearby the ponds. 

1. Adjust to the 1st line

2. Hit the Hydro stone then adjust to the 3rd line

3. Adjust to 2nd line 

4. Adjust to the 2nd line

5. Follow the empty waterfall upwards and destroy the rocks blocking the water flow then adjust to 1st line

After tuning go back to the start point and play the rocks in order.
