Continuing our travels in Liye we now encounter a peculiar circle in the middle of Luhua Pool. The stone ruin marks the presence of ancient civilizations or maybe something even more powerful. What makes it more obvious that there was something powerful is a large blue seal in the middle of the ruin. Who knows what it’s hiding? If you are wondering how to break the seal here’s the guide to the Luhua Pool puzzle in Genshin Impact.
Location
Luhua Pool puzzle is considered a secret puzzle as many other things in Genshin Impact but it’s really not that secret at all. The puzzle and all you need to solve it are located in one place at the domain marker at Luhua Pool. You will see from a distance a stone circle with Pyro monuments and a blue seal in the middle. Solving this puzzle will allow one to access said domain and earn its riches.
The best way to reach the puzzle is by either flying over from the north waypoint or if you don’t have enough stamina (you might have to swim), then use the Archon statue at the South-East and fly over from a hill.
Solving the Puzzle
Once there look for a runic platform on the left that can be interacted with. Start the puzzle and the Pyro monuments will unlock. The game will also display the following message: “Let anyone who follows in the footsteps of the immortals kowtow before the treasure gate”.
The message doesn’t play much role in actually solving the puzzle. It’s more about telling the Traveler that the domain below and the seal protecting it was created by a god that lived in the land of Liyue long ago.
Now arm yourself with Amber and let’s get to solving. The goal is to light the Pyro Monuments, but there is a pattern/condition. It’s possible to solve it just by trying out different sequences of monuments but it can be quite time-consuming if you get unlucky. Light up three monuments under the tall pillars. The rest will do the same automatically.
Now the seal is lifted and you can proceed to conquer the domain beneath. Lifting the seal will also grant you the “Hidden Palace of Guizang Formula” which is worth 5 primogems. If you didn’t get the achievement, jump down the hole to the doors of the domain to get it.
Domain
There are two domains for you to explore but you will have to be Adventure Rank 30 and Adventure Rank 35 respectively to enter them. The rewards contain primogems and shire keys (That upon using will give you more primogems) so if you can’t enter the domain now, make sure to do it later.
Travels of the Moonlit Venturer. The domain will have you travel through the adepti realm fighting treasure hoarders and a Fatui Agent. The recommended elements are Anemo and Geo but in all honesty, you can get away with anything as long as it deals damage. There aren’t any parts that require certain elements (e.g monuments, shields).
Voyage to the Sanguine Sky. Will take you up to the clouds. This domain is way more challenging as you have to fight a Ruin Hunter and two Ruin Guards at the same time. We have a dedicated guide on fighting Ruin Guards and the same logic can be applied to the Ruin Hunter. In short have a team that can freeze enemies and immobilizes them. Hydro, Electro, and Cryo characters + a bow user is the ideal team for this domain.
