Genshin Impact version 3.0 update is now live, allowing players to step foot in the game’s newest major area, Sumeru. There are more than a few secrets to uncover and puzzles to solve deep in the region’s jungles. Solving this particular puzzle in Mawtiyima Forest will unlock the Under the Umbrella’s Shade Domain. Here’s what you need to know.
How to Solve the Mawtiyima Forest Elemental Pillar Puzzle
In order to solve this puzzle, you’ll need to activate each elemental pillar around the outside of the Domain. If you don’t have a Dendro character to use like Tighnari or Collei, simply interact with the Dendrogranum plant nearby to surround yourself with Dendrograna. These little green sprites will follow up aimed bow shots or charged attacks with a Dendro attack for a limited amount of time, so use them to light up the pillars with any character. Here’s what the Dendrogranum plant looks like:
The elemental pillars need to be lit up in a certain order, and there are five pillars total. One of them is concealed by a large stone that can only be destroyed by using a Dendrograna alongside one of your aimed shots or charged attacks. The stone has a glowing green mark on it, so it’s hard to miss–deal with that first, before starting the puzzle.
