Genshin Impact Washer Octopus puzzles are one of the many that you can find in the Sea of Bygone Eras. This is an underwater region introduced in the version 4.7 update, filled with so many things for players to explore and experience. Complete exploration of this region will provide tons of Primogems and other rewards.

To reach 100% completion of the region, players need to solve all Washer Octopus puzzles. There are 16 washer octopuses, but not everyone has their own puzzles. Some group together to form a larger puzzle as well. It is advised to unlock all teleport waypoints in the Sea of Bygone Eras beforehand.

Here is everything you need to know about these Genshin Impact 4.7 Washer Octopus puzzles and their locations.
