Fontaine Research Institute of Kinetic Energy Engineering Region Map Guide

Fontaine Research Institute of Kinetic Energy Engineering Region is the new map expansion for Genshin Impact 4.1 in Fontaine. See how to get to the Engineering Region, its puzzles, features, enemies, and its lore here in this guide!

How to Get to the Fontaine Research Institute of Kinetic Energy Region

Head Northeast from the Court of Fontaine

To get to the Fontaine Research Institute of Kinetic Energy Engineering Region, just head northeast from the Court of Fontaine. Cross the broken bridge and follow the path east if you want to unlock the Statue of the Seven and visit the Central Laboratory Ruins.

Alternatively, once you get to the other side of the broken bridge you can head north and swim across to visit the New Fontaine Research Institute!

Climb Up the Central Laboratory Ruins

To explore the Central Laboratory Ruins, you need to cross the broken bridge first from the New Fontaine Research Institute. Make your way to the location above and cross the bridge.

At the very end, you will see a Hydro Ring you can use to be transported to another Allogravity Water Body or you can just directly enter the Allogravity Water Body connected to the bridge!

Use the Hydro Rings to Travel

Hydro Rings are the main way of transportation between each Allogravity Water Body. Each water body has one to two Rings which you can use to travel to the others! These Rings are in a water bubble at first, so you have to pop them for it to show up.

Unlock the Teleport Waypoint

Once you've reached the Central Laboratory Ruin's main Allogravity Water Body, remember to unlock the Teleport Waypoint to make returning and exploring easier!
