The desert area that’s unlocked in Genshin Impact 3.4 comes with new puzzle systems. Players can try their hands with sand pumps in the Cascade Pool puzzle in Genshin Impact, or even change the symbols of some stones.
Although changing symbols on a stone sounds like it’s been done before (like Tsurumi Island’s Ishine Script or Inazuma’s Electro Cubes), the one in the Sumeru desert has a twist of its own. If players are wondering how to solve Weathered Obelisk’s stone symbol puzzle in Genshin Impact, this guide will explain how it works.
How To Solve The Weathered Obelisk Stone Puzzle In Genshin Impact
To solve the stone symbol puzzle in Genshin Impact, it’s vital to match one set of stones to the original set. These kinds of puzzles always have two groups of stones; one has symbols that change upon attacking the stones, whereas the other is unchangeable.
The goal of this puzzle is to keep hitting the set that changes until the symbols match the unchangeable group.
Note that each group’s number of stones always matches the other, and the number of stones found can vary; sometimes there’s only one stone, while other times, there can be six of them. If Travelers find it rather hard to locate the second set, keep in mind that although the groups can be far away from each other, they are always found in the same area.
Notable Weathered Obelisk Stone Puzzle
Since this puzzle is rather easy, the reward is typically a simple Common or Exquisite Chest. However, there are times when players can obtain Luxurious Chest from these stones. For example, the Liloupar Cell’s Dendro Monument puzzle in Genshin Impact grants a Luxurious Chest upon completing the entire puzzle.
Weathered Obelisk is also the main key to unlocking the Fane of Panjvahe domain in Genshin Impact, where players must solve the stone symbol puzzle with a Seelie messing up the stones. After successfully finishing this task and bringing another Seelie to the court in front of the domain, the one-time challenge will unlock, allowing players to acquire 40 Primogems and five Dendro Sigils.
If players wish to get more Chests, then the Weathered Obelisk puzzle in Wadi Al-Majuj is worth solving. Like the one in Fane of Panjvahe, this one also has a Seelie messing up the stones, but there are more stones to fix. For the trouble, players can earn a Precious Chest in Genshin Impact.
Other than these, if players have restored enough of Liloupar’s fragment, they can finally remove some big Atmospheric Vortex in the desert. Some of these vortexes hide the Weathered Obelisk puzzles, and since dispersing the vortex demands Traveler to finish some quests, a big Atmospheric Vortex can hide a simple stone symbol puzzle that grants a high-level Chest as a reward.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
