Genshin Impact’s mysterious new Tsurumi Island is chock full of treasures, challenges, and unique Electro-themed puzzles. “A Particularly Particular Author” controls thenarrative in Tsurumi, and players will need to successfully solve the puzzles atShirikoro Peakin order to obtain the feathers required in the overarching quest.Genshin Impactfans familiar with Inazuma’s Relay Stone mechanic know there’s often frustrating trial-and-error involved, but this guide will take the guesswork out of cracking the code.
Relay Stone Puzzle 1:
Upon entering the first chamber, players will quickly spot an example of the three different types of stones thatcomprise Electro Current Puzzles: aDischarge Stone, which emits electricity; aRelay Stone, which bridges the electricity from Discharge Stone to Cumulation Stone; and aCumulation Stone, which needs electricity directed towards it for the puzzle to complete. There are a total offourRelay Stones within range that may be used, though onlythreeare necessary.

Two Relay Stones are positioned redundantly between Discharge and Cumulation Stones that are close enough to carry the charge independently: one is the aforementioned Relay Stone at theentranceof the chamber, the other in thefar left roomnear the Tsurumi bird statue. A third Relay Stone is nestled infoliagebelow the little stone staircase, and the fourth in the hall preceding the open chamber’s entryway if needed.
Defeat thepair of sleeping Ruin Sentinelsand disperse the Relay Stones in the order pictured: twobeneath the hieroglyphiceagle, and either one or twobetween the inground Stonesslightly divided by the different rooms.
It may take a bit of experimentation position-wise for the connection to spark.
AnExquisite Chestwill spawn after the Relay Stones are correctly aligned, and the door key mechanism will lose its abyssal lock.Activatethe mechanism to open the door.
Relay Stone Puzzle 2:
The next puzzle begins with guidingthree Seelie. Players entering the new chamber will be be rudely greeted by a Ruin Guard. Defeat the Guard and encounterthe first Seelieon a broken, root-wrapped column almost directly behind it.
The Seelie will guide Travelers to another abyss-locked key mechanism, surrounded by threeSeelie Courts– now with two empty Courts remaining. Thesecond Seeliehovers in a chamber south-west of the key, with a mountainous mural and cobweb-framed entrance way easy to spot from a distance.
Humor the Seelie with a lazy game of hide-and-seek until it gets cozy in the next Seelie Court. UseElemental Sightto identify a breakablerock formationnorth of the Seelie Court ring, as well as a Relay Stone andRemarkable Chest to keep in mind for later.
Smash the rock pile and free thethird Seelie. Once the Seelie joins its circle of friends, the mechanism will unlock.Activate it, and the body of water will drain to reveal the rest of the Relay Puzzle as an Exquisite Chest spawns.
There are two Ruin Sentinels in the dry lakebed. There are alsotwo Relay Stones: one sitting uselessly between an already established Discharge and Cumulation connection, and the other alone nearby. Position one Relay Stone between the inground Stone and the wall art Cumulation Stone, then climb back up with thesecond Relay Stonein tow. Place this Relay Stone between the inground Stone closest to the crumbled watchtower and the corresponding Stone directly across from it.
Finally, enter the watchtower and grab the Relay Stone identified earlier whenretrieving the hidden Seelie(don’t forget the Remarkable Chest). Placing this Relay Stone is a little more involved: it should connect the piece closest to the Seelie Court with the Stone across a gap and slightly below it. Players will need to deploy the Relay Stone quickly whileglidingdown towards the partner Stone to achieve the correct angle.
The final result should match the picture below - it may take a few tries for the charge to transfer.
As soon as the final Relay Stone is in place, a Luxurious Chest will spawn. The mechanical key is now unlocked and players can proceed with their adventure into the tricky depths of Tsurumi’s lore.
