While Sumeru's Desert Ruins are buried beneath earth and sands, Fontaine's ruins can be found in deep, sprawling underwater landscapes! Players can explore these landscapes using the Diving Mechanic introduced in Version 4.0.

New underwater areas were added in Version 4.2.

Diving Mechanic in Fontaine

Can Only Be Explored With Fontaine's Blessing

You must have Fontaine's Blessing, the Transoceanic Sourcewater, before you can dive in the Fontaine's underwater areas. Make your way to any of the nation's Statue of the Seven, activate it, and enjoy the underwater exploration!

The nearest Statue of the Seven you can activate in Fontaine is at Romaritime Harbor, northeast of Hills of Barsom. Summon your Waverider at Sumeru's shore and ride it across to reach the harbor.

Fontaine Underwater Map Features

Underwater Currents

Underwater currents work similar to Anemo Rings and push characters forward at high speeds, depending on where your character is facing!

While riding Fontaine's underwater currents, however, you can only move around to some extent, and won't be able to get off the flow until you reach the end.

Fontaine's Currents Guide

High-Pressure Water Vents

High-Pressure Water Vents continuously spray out underwater currents, able to sweep your character along its path!

Gain the abilities of a Xenochromatic Armored Crab using the Transoceanic Sourcewater to gain a shield that can resist these underwater currents!

High-Pressure Water Vent

Recovery Orbs

Players can touch small schools of yellow fishes circling around Recovery Orbs to regain HP and Aquatic Stamina.

Aquatic Stamina (blue) is different from regular stamina (yellow) as they are only consumed when swimming fast underwater and you will not drown when it's depleted!

Additionally, this is the only way to recover HP underwater (other than Food from your inventory) as your characters won't be able to use their skills while diving.

Fontaine's Recovery Orb

Allogravity-Condensed Water Bodies

There are also some areas in Fontaine that can be found aboveground, but floating suspended in various cubes of water. Players can still enter and explore these areas using the same Diving Mechanic!

What are Allogravity-Condensed Water Bodies?

Might of the Ancient Symphony

After acquiring the Autoharmonic Music Box, Monsieur Os will bestow upon you the Might of the Ancient Symphony, which will allow you to play Pause Soundwaves and Play Soundwaves.

Pause Soundwaves will hold surrounding objects in place, while Play Soundwaves will reanimate them. Play the corresponding soundwaves to solve puzzles, acquire chests, and progress the quest!

Might of the Ancient Symphony Guide

Scylla the Whale

The former prince of Remuria has taken a cetacean form and functions as a warp point when exploring the Sea of Bygone Eras. He will disappear and reappear near wherever you venture into.

You can warp instantly to his side and ask him to summon currents to carry you to your desired destination.

How to Summon Currents with Scylla

Lost Grimoires and Bookshelf Puzzles

Lost Grimoires are floating phantom books that can be obtained by stopping them midair with Pause Soundwaves. Once in possession of a Lost Grimoire, keep an eye out for glowing blue bookshelves and submit a Grimoire.

Afterwards, reanimate the bookshelf with Play Soundwaves to move it out of the way and see what they might be hiding!

Lost Grimoires Locations and Puzzle Guide

Washer Octupus and Allochromatic Anemones

Another new feature in the Sea of Bygone Eras are Washer Octupuses and Allochromatic Anemones. Washer Octopuses can interact with Allochromatic Anemones to reveal chests.

However, they may need some assistance first before they can help you in solving puzzles.

Allochromatic Anemones Puzzle Guide

Auric Anglerfish

Auric Anglerfishes are ancient mechanical anglerfishes that swim about in the Sea of Bygone Eras. Due to their size, they most likely hold a chest inside of their mouths.

To acquire the chest, simply sneak up on the anglerfish's tail and use a Pause Soundwave to stop it in its tracks. Avoid the anglerfish's light as it will shut its mouth and put a barrier on its tail.

Auric Anglerfish Locations

Fontaine Echoing Conches

The echoing conches in Fontaine release soundwaves underwater, letting you detect invisible objects or activate other devices.

How to Solve Fontaine Echoing Conches

Fantastical Floating Ball

Fantastic Floating Balls are sphere-shaped devices that can be moved using high-pressure currents! You can activate ringed devices by fitting the Fantastic Floating Balls through them.

How to Solve Fantastical Floating Balls
