How to open the Hidden Palace of Guizang Formula in Genshin Impact — Luhua Pool Puzzle

Genshin Impact has plenty of different puzzles that players need to solve before entering certain places or obtaining specific chests. It keeps players thinking and the game from being too dull. Sometimes, even domains and areas in Genshin Impact can be hidden away, like the Abyssal Domain in Liyue at the Luhua Pool. This guide will detail everything you need to do to open the Luhua Pool Puzzle in Genshin Impact.

Where to find the Luhua Pool Puzzle in Genshin Impact

To complete this puzzle, you’ll need to head to the inland lake of water between the Cuijue Slope and Guili Plains. The puzzle is located on a circular platform extending out into the water. To complete this quest, you will need a Pyro character in your party, such as Amber or Bennet. This is because you’ll have to activate Pyro monuments around the Domain.

How to complete the Luhua Pool Puzzle in Genshin Impact

To begin this puzzle, you’ll have to interact with the stone button on the ground. This will prompt a message: “Let anyone who follows in the footsteps of the immortals kowtow before the treasure’s gate.” Once this has been activated, all the red seals that were preventing you from interacting with the Pyro monuments before will drop, and you’ll be able to proceeed to phase two of the puzzle.

Following the clue in the text, you’ll need to interact with the Pyro monuments, which are standing in front of unbroken pillars. This means the three Pyro monuments immediately to your left and right are ineligible to complete the puzzle.

To activate the Pyro monuments, you need to strike them with Pyro. This can be done by activating your Burst or your basic Elemental Skill. Either will work, and you don’t even need to be close to them if you’re shooting at them with an archer like Amber.

From here, the energy seal will vanish, and you can drop down to the Domain below you. At the bottom, you’ll find a stone pressure plate that you’ll need to stand on and gain the Achievement Hidden Palace of Guizang Formula worth 5 Primogems. This will activate an updraft that you can use when you’re done running the Domain.
