How to Solve the Puzzle in Qiaoying Village in Genshin Impact (2026)
Qiaoying Village in Chenyu Vale hosts multiple puzzles tied to world quests like “Qiaoying of the Sacred Mountain” and “Threefold Expectations,” mainly involving Adeptal Energy manipulation. These remain unchanged in 2026 post-4.4 updates, focusing on lighting lanterns or activating monoliths for rewards and progression.
Lotus Lamp Puzzle (Qiaoying of the Sacred Mountain)
Follow the Golden Carp north from Upper Vale to a pool guarded by Treasure Hoarders—defeat them first. Use Adeptal Energy (from prior quest steps) to drag the central Lotus Lamp into position amid five surrounding lanterns, lighting all at once.
Fujin appears post-puzzle to advance the ritual questline. Rewards include an Exquisite Chest with Primogems and materials.
Steps:
- Clear enemies.
- Hold interaction (T on PC) to grab energy.
- Reposition central lamp to center.
- Release (E/skill button) to ignite all.
Threefold Expectations Monolith Puzzles
Start by talking to Uncle Luo near the tea cauldron after Chenyu Vale main quests. Activate three nearby monoliths (Anemo west, Pyro southeast, Hydro elsewhere) to fix it.
Anemo Monolith (West of Village):
Resonate, ride wind current up, use energy to pull platforms closer, climb, and defeat floating Anemo Slimes. Repeat for higher levels.
Pyro Monolith (Southeast Cave):
Clear Pyro Slimes, resonate to spawn Jade Incense Cauldrons. Stand behind each, pull energy to light them simultaneously.
Hydro Monolith: Similar timing-based lighting or slime clears—check minimap post-Anemo/Pyro.
Post-Puzzle Steps and Rewards
Return to the tea cauldron with Hautemontagne; enter the teapot realm to fight elemental foes and Eye of the Storm. Quest completion yields Primogems, experience, and the “Tea? I Am Tea!” achievement.
Teleport to Qiaoying south waypoint for easy access—no new 2026 changes noted.
