Start The Moon Bathed Deep quest in Genshin Impact by talking to Tsuyuko northwest of Statue of the Seven in Mouun Shrine, Watatsumi Island.

She will provide the backstory of the people in Watatsumi Island and ask the Traveler to collect four pearls in different areas.

Choose any of the four sites given by Tsuyuko. However, since the Eye of Watatsumi is the closest to your current location, it is recommended to do this one first.

Glide to the island west of your current spot. Make sure to deploy any Anemo characters in your party as their Elemental Skill is needed to complete the puzzle.

Once you reach the island, interact with the stone tablet beside the sealed shrine. Your goal is to find three Electro orbs using Elemental Sight. By dispersing these orbs, the seal on the shrine will be undone.

You can find all the orbs in the locations below:

  1. Behind a broken boat, north from the shrine.
  2. On top of a cliff, west side of the island.
  3. Beside a rock, south from the shrine.

After removing the three Electro orbs with Anemo attacks, go back to the shrine to collect the Spirit Pearl.

This time, you need to protect the Ley Line Monolith for five minutes. Make sure to summon Electrogranum from the Thunder Sakura Bough nearby and take advantage of the purple stone to discharge Electro damage towards enemies and make the challenge easier.

After completing the task, go back to the shrine and collect the Spirit Pearl.


How to complete Fin of Watatsumi

For the Fin of Watatsumi, teleport to Waypoint north of Sangonomiya Shrine and head northeast until you see two platforms with fish statues. As usual, read the stone tablet first to start the puzzle.

Start with the platform on your left. Next, you need to rotate the fish statues until they face towards the center of the circular platform. You can check the flowing water on the floor to ensure the statue faces the right direction.

Activate the Mysterious Pillar to prevent the statues from changing direction when rotating the monuments on the second platform. Then, you can move to the second platform and make all three fish statues face the center.

Go to the shrine and collect the third Spirit Pearl once the task is done.


How to complete Tail of Watatsumi

The last Quest Item, 'Spirit Pearl,' can be obtained from the shrine southeast of Bourou Village in Genshin Impact. Upon reaching the location, you need to defeat the Fatui enemies near the shrine before reading the stone tablet.

For this task, you must summon an Electrogranum from a Thunder Sakura Bough. Then, light up six stone lamps around the shrine.

Once you've lit all of them, Fatui enemies will appear, and you need to eliminate them first before collecting the last Spirit Pearl.

Once you enter the cave, you can spot four circular platforms with fish statues like in Fin of Watatsumi. In fact, the mechanism of this puzzle is also the same.

It is recommended to solve the puzzle in the order of the image above. This is because the fourth platform is sealed until you have completed the first three platforms.

Rotate the fish statues to face the center and connect. You can observe the glowing light on the floor to determine the right direction for each statue.

Once you're done with all the fish statues on one platform, some Hydro enemies will appear. Defeat the incoming enemies and activate the Mysterious Pillar to prevent the statues from changing direction again. The identical steps can be repeated on the second and third platforms.

However, you need to activate the Mysterious Pillar first before rotating the fish statues for the fourth puzzle. Then, after eliminating the last wave of enemies, a cut-scene will appear.
