Genshin Impact has finally released the Fontaine Teapot realm for the Serenitea Pot. The layout is called "Swirling Scene in a Bottle", and it looks visually amazing. Unlike the previous Teapot realms, this one is designed underwater with three locations inside giant domes where travelers can place the main house. Players can travel between them using an underwater current to recreate the Fontaine experience inside their Pot.

This article will offer a guide on how to unlock the new Fontaine Teapot realm "Swirling Scene in a Bottle" in Genshin Impact and change the layout inside the Serenitea Pot.

Unlocking the Fontaine realm layout in the Serenitea Pot is very simple. But before you proceed, it is important to note that you must first complete the Archon Quest Lies Cast Shadows Under Gathered Lights in Genshin Impact.

  • If you have done it already, head inside your Serenitea Pot and interact with Tubby, the teapot spirit.
  • Similar to Sumeru's teapot realm Nature's True Fruit, you must purchase the "Swirling Scene in a Bottle" from Tubby for 1000 Realm Currency.

Until now, travelers could raise a fish using a furnishing called Pool of Sapphire Grace, which can be purchased from the Fishing Association NPC in Liyue. Fortunately, Genshin Impact has released a new feature that allows you to raise ornamental fish inside the Fontaine Teapot realm without using any furnishing.

You can find two small ponds on the "Swirling Scene in a Botte" map. If you enter them, you can select up to five fish and raise them. You can use these fish for display and show off to your friends.
