Rotating nine cubes puzzle tips
Before diving into the solutions for each puzzle, it's worth mentioning some tips. First, Genshin Impact players can teleport to another island and return to Watatsumi Island to reset the puzzle. This is helpful for players who started and got frustrated with it.
Second, the same advice applies to advancing to the next puzzle. Genshin Impact players don't have to log out and log back in to see the next puzzle.
Third, Genshin Impact players only need to hit the cube to rotate it. It doesn't matter what attack they use. All of the solutions shown below have been tested to work.
Puzzle #1
The solution above applies to the nine rotating cubes with the player looking north. This means that the player needs to hit:
- Top left cube once
- Middle cube three times
- Bottom middle cube three times
- Bottom right cube twice
It doesn't matter which order the Genshin Impact player does it, either. Remember, this is based on the player looking north. In this case, the top left cube is on a lower elevation than the other rotating cubes.
Once the player does the nine rotating cubes puzzle correctly, they can collect the treasure. Teleport to a different island and come back for the next puzzle.

- Middle bottom cube twice
Collect the treasure, and go teleport out to spawn a new challenge. Afterward, teleport back to Watatsumi Island to advance to the final rotating nine cubes puzzle.
