How to Solve Lightning Strike Probe Compass Puzzle

Point the Needle with Electro

To solve Lightning Strike Probe compass puzzles, you must point the needle to the arrow pointing outward on the base. If the base glows Electro, that means you have successfully solved the puzzle!

The Lightning Strike Probe points to various sources of Electro. If a character or enemy is affected by the Electro element, the Lightning Strike Probe will point to them as well!

Use Electrogranas or Beidou's Elemental Skill

You can also summon an Electrograna to have a Lightning Strike Probe follow you. In addition, using Beidou's Elemental Skill will let you position the needle to where you are standing!

Sometimes Electro Seelies can also help you point the needles, although sometimes they also need precise timing as some of them go around Lightning Strike Probes.

How to Get Puzzle Rewards

The base of the Lightning Strike Probe has a direction marker on it. Getting the Lightning Strike Probes in the area to point to the same direction as their marker and glow a purple light will result in a Treasure Chest appearing!

Lightning Strike Probe Locations

All Lighting Strike Probe Locations

Lighting Strike Probes can be found in various locations all over Inazuma except Narukami Island.

Kannazuka Lightning Strike Probes

Kannazuka Lightning Strike Probes serve as a tutorial for these puzzles, as they do not exist in Narukami Island.

If there are two compasses, try to go around them and not to the center, as going in the center might point the needle to the wrong direction.

Because Lightning Strike Probes in Seirai Island are on the outer edges of the island, there is no need to eradicate the barrier that protects the island.
