All 3 Crystalline Core locations and how to get them in Genshin Impact

Travelers need to find three Crystalline Cores in Genshin Impact's Like Rhyme and Song, the Summer Reverie. The quest itself is short, and the game does tell them the general locations of each Crystalline Core. The main problem is that players can't just waltz into every location and acquire it effortlessly.

Instead, they must complete some puzzles for each spot. It's not the most intuitive, so Genshin Impact players are bound to struggle with it. Thankfully, there are ways to complete the puzzles quickly so that players don't have to waste too much time on this quest.

Travelers can already find each major location on the world map, as it's marked with the traditional yellow diamond and yellow circles around it. Finding each Crystalline Core location isn't the hard part.

Rather, it's solving each individual puzzle associated with the said locations. This guide will first start with the northwestern one, before going into the middle island, and then finishing up on the eastern island.

Genshin Impact players can do these puzzles in any order, so they don't need to feel forced to do it this way.
