In Genshin Impact there are many unique puzzles, and some of them can only be found within Fontaine: for example, the spheres of potential energy added in update 4.2, the essence of which is to hit specific targets with large stone balls. Our guide will help you find all the places with these puzzles and solve them.
How to solve Potential Energy Orbs puzzles
Potential energy sphere puzzles are somewhat similar to bowling or billiards. In short, the essence of their solution can be reduced to three simple steps:
- Pick up the xenochrome globular octopus talent;
- Stand on the mark with the golden arrow;
- Charge the E-shka and fire a aimed shot at the ring targets with a stone sphere.
Usually, next to the spheres there is always a source of obtaining the octopus skill (a monument with a blue ball on the ground and a xenochrome creature under water), as well as a golden field, within the radius of which you can use the E-shku. Also you can control the direction and strength of the throw : For the first, use camera movement, and for the second, watch how long you hold the elemental skill.
However, not all of these riddles are solved only in this sequence: let's look at each of the places separately.
Where to find all the potential energy sphere puzzles in Fontaine
All the orb puzzles are located east of the Cour de Fontaine (Forest of Erinyes/Morts) and there are 13 such places in total : 10 on land, and 3 under water.
Potential Energy Sphere 1
The first puzzle on our chosen route is located near the Lusin fountain: select the nearest fast travel point and go up to the east to the hill with the sphere.
Next click “ to interact " on the monument with the blue orb to gain the ability to control the projectile. Approach the golden arrow, then aim with your E-shank at the stone ball in front of you.
Check that the elemental skill is in mode octopus abilities, if not, switch[клавиша Т на ПК] .
Hold the charge for a couple of seconds and shoot in the direction of the rings that appear: the reward for the solution will be an ordinary chest.
Potential Energy Sphere 2
From the first place, go northeast to the nearest path: here the second riddle awaits you. But before you start solving it, shoot three anemo slimes, which created a Hurdle around the stone sphere. Then go to the monument for the octopus skill.
Next, stand in the golden field in front of the sphere and aim at it with your E-shank, aiming at the ring floating in front (you don’t need to charge the attack too much). After a successful shot, our target will stop on the path ahead, and a little further another ring will appear - we repeat all the steps and take the reward.
Potential Energy Sphere 3
The next puzzle in line is located above a small pond in front of the path north of the previous place. But you won’t find the sphere: for it to appear, you need to clear the swamp through which they fly green kernels with contaminated mucus.
Pick up the E-shku octopus near the pond, and then come closer to each of the cores and attack it with the skill: as long as possible keep your sights on the dirt, to deprive them of all HP. After successfully destroying the pests, the water will become clear and you can dive into it.
Further explore the bottom of the reservoir : There is a ring here that you need to hit with a stone sphere. We select the sharp ray skill and aim at the intersection of two algae holding a piece of the puzzle: remember that they need to be cut simultaneously at the intersection of two green lights.
After freeing the ring, get out onto land and go to the rock above the lake. All that remains is to send the stone sphere straight into the ring: aim downwards and do not hold it for too long. Solving this puzzle will reward you with a precious chest.
Potential Energy Sphere 4
The fourth puzzle is located near the path between the rocks southwest of Weeping willow. Get to the right place in front of a picturesque pond, along the banks of which there are growing Lilies of the lake light and several hilichurls wander around (the latter will have to be gotten rid of).
Follow the usual pattern, approach the golden pointer and, using the octopus skill, aim at the sphere: moving rings will appear above the water ahead. Wait for the moment when they begin to float up out of the water and shoot: the ball should slide along the surface of the pond straight through all the targets.
After successfully solving the puzzle, take the next rich casket.
Potential Energy Sphere 5
For the fifth puzzle, head to the plain north of the Archon Statue in Erinyes Forest. In the usual way, get the octopus skill and stand on the mark in front of the sphere, then aim at the stone ball and shoot at the ring targets (medium force charge). At the end, a regular chest awaits you.
Potential Energy Sphere 6
The next location is on the path south of the Weeping Willow tree: follow it to an area where you can expect not only a puzzle, but also a battle with Liam - This difficult enemy is not part of the puzzle, but it can be accidentally aggroed, so it's best to get rid of it first.
Next, take the octopus skill and go to the stone. There is no pointer in front of the projectile, so stand directly behind it and aim with the E-Shki at the gate ahead : The sphere should fly not only through the nearest arch, but also through the one in the distance, so charge the shot as much as possible.
From the amazing chest that spawns after solving this riddle, you will receive not only 5 primogems, but also the “Standard Railing: Order and Symmetry” decor.
Potential Energy Sphere 7
From the place with the 6th puzzle, run to the marked point east to the edge of the hill. Before the cliff, take the octopus skill and take the aiming position: moving hydro platforms will immediately appear ahead.
To solve this puzzle you need to fire two shots:
- When the plates move apart, shoot (holding for no longer than a couple of seconds), aiming at the rings under the floating structures;
- Wait until the platforms get closer to you to perform a long charged shot at the rings that appear directly ahead.
For such manipulations, oddly enough, only an ordinary chest awaits you.
Potential Energy Sphere 8
The eighth location is southeast of Big hat jellyfish puzzles in the area of a small reservoir, near which treasure thieves roam. Behind the trees near the nearby cliff is a stone sphere and a monument with an octopus skill: charge a projectile attack while aiming maximally charged blow towards a depression with water surrounded by bandits.
A successful shot will not only spawn a rich chest, but will also break through the stone at the bottom. Underneath it will be entrance to a closed underwater area, where you can find a couple more rewards, among which will be a precious chest with branch of the Misty Forest.
Potential Energy Sphere 9
Another puzzle posted on the rock not far from the coastal establishment " Rusty steering wheel "(in our separate guides you can also find out how to get through Perminget poll and get into treasury, which this tavern owns).
Similar to the previous puzzles, we set the sight from the octopus skill on the stone sphere and fire two shots:
- The first one is straight along the corridor of rings, having first waited for them to line up;
- The second is a maximally charged attack in the direction of the ring from below above the water (the sphere will land on the water surface and slide straight into the target).
From the amazing chest given for solving this riddle, you will additionally receive the “Standard Fluid Shipping Unit” decor.
Potential Energy Sphere 10
The last land puzzle on our route is located at the edge of the cliff northeast of Port Lumidus.
Pick up the octopus skill by interacting with the monument on the left, stand in the sight area (golden pointer) and fire a charged shot at the moment when the blue plate obscuring the rings will rise up. For solving this, a precious casket awaits you.
Potential Energy Sphere 11
The feather underwater location with the 11th puzzle is located northeast of the Archon statue in the Mort area (you could also visit this area as part of the quest " Free Verse ").
Find the xenochrome octopus near the area with the sphere and get its skill. Then return to the stone and shoot it from the E-shki at the rubble straight ahead: a regular chest awaits you under it.
Potential Energy Sphere 12
The penultimate puzzle is located near the flooded ruins southwest of the Archon statue. However, do not rush to approach the aiming mark: first you need remove the Hurdle, blocking the path of the projectile.
The entire front part of the ruins is blocked by an invisible field, but it can be accessed through a “window” behind pearl oyster : Swim inside and switch the blue Elemental Reaction: Crystallize in the corner on the left to remove the barrier.
All that remains is to return to the sphere of potential energy and direct the projectile through the window frame directly into the rings to take away the rich chest.
With the search for xenochrome creatures whose skills are needed to solve underwater puzzles, use interactive map of Fontaine.
Potential Energy Sphere 13
Finally, swim to the underwater ruins near the shore northwest of Ipsissimus towers.
To successfully perform a sphere shot, the first thing you need to do is lower the pillar blocking the path. To do this, get the skill of a xenochrome octopus swimming around pearl oysters nearby and swim to the bottom of the column. Then fix the E-shki sight on the blue crystal and hold until the column goes completely down.
Finally, stand in front of the stone ball and fire a charged shot straight through the window opening, and then receive a rich chest as a reward.
