Kory Drums in Genshin Impact 3.6 are musical instruments that you play with attacks to match the beat of the notes written in korybantes scores. See how you can solve it and all the drum locations here!

How to Play Kory Drum Puzzles

Read the Leaf Notes

Full	Half	Empty
Plunging Attack	Normal Attack	Pause/Stand Still

To play the Kory Drums, follow the sequence of notes as seen in the wall and hit the drum based on the form of the leaves, to begin your performance. As seen above, if the leaf note is whole with no holes, that means that note is a Plunging Attack.

These compositions are read from left to right, then top to bottom. You will also gain a jumping buff to help you plunge without the need of a ledge!

Leaf Symbol and Attack Type

Notation and Attack Type
Full (Plunge Attack)	Half-Full (Normal Attack)	Empty (Stand Still)

Example of a Kory Drum Composition

Normal Attack → Plunging Atack → Pause → Plunging Attack

As seen in the diagram above, you will need to hit the drum according to the shape of the leaf. In this case, it is a Half, then Full, then Empty, then Full once more, signaling the order of attacks as seen in the box above!

Hit after every glowing intervals

Normal Attack → Plunging Atack → Pause

If you're stuck on failing the puzzle even if you're doing the correct sequence, remember that you also have to time it right! After doing the first attack, wait for the drum to glow before doing the next action.

As seen above, the actions are done only when the drum glows. The interval is about 2 seconds before you can do the action again.
