Genshin Impact guide: Watatsumi cube puzzle solution

Watatsumi Island is home to many cube puzzles in Genshin Impact, but its hardest is one that requires a sudoku-like solution. Our Genshin Impact guide will walk you through how to complete this eight-cube puzzle.

This puzzle is right outside the eastern Teleport Waypoint by Bourou Village on Watatsumi Island. Once you go to that teleporter, just run north a bit to see the cubes.

The puzzle requires you to hit the cubes a certain number of times, and you’ll receive two Exquisite Chests and one Precious Chest for your time.

Each time you complete one set, you’ll need to teleport away and return for the next puzzle to show up. If the next puzzle doesn’t show up, you can log out and log back in, and it should appear. (Our third puzzle didn’t show up until we relogged.)

We’ve listed the solutions to the three cube puzzles below. If you mess up, you can relaunch Genshin Impact to reset the puzzles back to their default positions.
