Genshin Impact A Gradient of Dreams and Ochre Walkthrough - Collect Strange parts

As per "Father's" instructions, you need to collect Strange Parts to fix Seymour. You can get Strange Parts from completing quests from other Melusines in Merusea Village, or by scouring the area and solving puzzles!

You can collect one Strange Part from Serene, which automatically triggers as soon as you head towards Merusea Village.
2
You can get another copy of Strange Part by talking to Iara who's fishing just behind the Merusea Village. After placing the bait, and fighting the Ball Octopus, Iara will give you one Strange Part!
3
You can get the third Strange Part by diving down the pool beneath Mamere's house, and solving the Echoing Conch puzzle. Simply activate the conch, and investigate all the areas that the conch reveals! Once done, open the Exquisite Chest to get the Strange Part inside!
4
You can get another Strange Part by talking to Cosanzeana, and offering her a flower to plant. After watering the flowers, she will give you a Strange Part as a thanks!
5 You can also get one Strange Part for each quest given by the other Melusines. The following are the quests that you can finish to obtain one copy of it:
  1. “Hey, This Isn’t Pumpkin Soup…”
  2. Book of Esoteric Revelations
