Genshin Impact has released a new type of puzzle where you can collect eight Lost Grimoires and put them on the Bookshelves in the Faded Castle of Nostoi Region. Once the Grimoire is back in its place, you can use the power of "Symphony" to open the bookshelf to access some hidden locations and obtain several rewards, such as Hydroculus, Exquisite Chests, and Precious Chests.

This article will showcase the locations of all eight Lost Grimoires and Bookshelves in Genshin Impact. You can also unlock two hidden achievements while solving all the puzzles.
