How to Solve the Nearby Mechanisms

Genshin - The Final Experiment - Puzzle.jpg

Time the Seelies

To solve the nearby mechanisms, you will need to time the Seelies so that you can activate the monuments as the Seelie passes nearby.

To the north of the mechanism are two Seelies and 5 monuments you will need to activate. Time the activation when following the Seelie, so that before the monument deactivates again, the second Seelie will activate it again.
