How To Solve Puzzle Of The Watatsumi Statue - Solitary Sea-Beast Genshin Impact World Quest

On Watatsumi Island, players of Genshin Impact will come across multiple NPCs who need help from the Traveler. Doing these quests will give you a lot of Primogems and a chance to explore this new island. The Puzzle of the Watatsumi Statue is one of the quests and you will have to go through some stages to complete it. Here’s how to solve the puzzle!

Genshin Impact‘s Solitary Sea Beast is one of the many available quests in the game. It takes place on Watatsumi Island, Inazuma. The challenges require you to solve the puzzle of the Watatsumi statue and rescue Anisa.

You need to start your quest from Watatsumi Island. Check the Quest Icon on the map and approach the Icon. After that, follow these steps and you will be good to go.

1. Talk to Kumi

On Watatsumi Island’s West Coast, you will find an NPC named Kumi on the beach. She is located near the Archon Statue.

She will need your assistance in preparing an offering to a childhood friend. After you have talked to her, Kumi will ask you to bring her three Sakura Blooms.

In case you do not have any Sakura Blooms in the inventory, visit Sakura Bloom locations and get some in the area of Grand Narukami Shrine. Having obtained the item, the player needs to come back to Kumi to get the quest continuing.

2. Defeat Hilichurl Camp in the West

After you have submitted the blooms, the NPC will ask you to check in on a researcher last seen close to a Hilichurl camp on the island’s west coast.

Head to that Hilichurl camp and beat all of them that surround the researcher. Do note that you may encounter these during the investigation, such as:

• Electro Samachurl
• Rock Shield Hilichurl Guard
• Electro Hilichurl Grenadier
• Blazing Axe Mitachurl
• Hilichurl Grenadier.

Therefore, make sure you equip the best team.

3. Unlock the puzzle

Once players successfully rescue the researcher, she will inform the player of a possible treasure in the area. Players will notice three elemental totems (two electro, one hydro) in the area. Unfortunately, one of the Electro totems is blocked by an Electro barrier bubble.

The next step in solving The Puzzle of the Watatsumi Statue is to unlock the Puzzle itself.

In order to access the blocked totem, head behind the hut of the Hilichurl and activate the Electrogranum plant. After that, return to the Hilichurl to deactivate the barrier.

In case the player’s Electrogranum level is not enough to pass the barrier, they can still activate the totem by shooting it with Lisa’s charged attack or Fischl’s bow.

Once you have activated the totem, use a Hydro or Electro character to activate the two totems left. You will be able to complete the puzzle beside Anisa once having activated the three of the totems.
