How to Solve the Genshin Impact Broken Isle Puzzle

This secret puzzle unlocks after you complete the “Blazin’ Trails” quest. On top of that, we recommend recruiting Pyro characters like Amber or Yoimiya before starting the puzzle.

Follow these steps to solve the Broken Isle puzzle:

  1. Teleport to Broken Isle North Waypoint.

    After teleporting, head southwest and enter the cave.

  2. Light up the Torches and Totem to unlock the first Pyro Totem.

    As soon as you enter the cave, you will see 4 Torches and 1 Totem. Simply light them up to unlock the first Pyro Totem and lower the water level.

  3. Light up the Torches again to unlock the second Pyro Totem.

    The next Pyro Totem is a bit difficult to solve as Pyro Torches are well scattered inside the cave. You can check out this YouTube video for the exact location of Pyro Torches.

  4. Go back to the Pyro Totem to get the 16th Conch.

    After completely draining the water, use the portal to head back to the Pyro Totem, where you’ll find a huge mechanism puzzle and Phantasmal Conch 16 on the lamp.

  5. Teleport back to Broken Isle north waypoint.

    Once there, interact with the drum to change the mountain style to its tallest height.

  6. Head Southwest towards the cave entrance.

  7. Adjust the Musical Instruments’ orientation.

    Adjust the direction of the Musical Instruments as shown in the image below.

  8. Interact with the Harp to remove the musical wall.

    Finally, interact with the Melodic Harp to break the musical wall and obtain the three precious chests.
