How to Solve Energy Transfer Terminal

Access the Terminal Viewfinders

Genshin Impact - Energy Transfer Terminal Guide - Terminal Viewfinder

Once you find a blue Terminal, you are free to access it and view the surrounding area through the use of Viewfinders, which look like red alarm sirens but function like surveillance cameras.

If the Terminal itself is red, you're going to have to find an energy storage device nearby and plant it next to the Terminal to give it power.

Switch Viewfinders to Find Other Puzzle Elements

If you find another transfer terminal using the Viewfinder, you can switch to it by aiming your crosshairs at it and pressing it. For console players, simply aim your crosshairs at the terminal and wait for the meter to fill up.

All energy collected will be transferred to the new terminal.

Transfer Energy Through the Terminal's Viewfinders

To repair the Energy Transfer Terminal, you must use the Terminal's Viewfinder to collect and transfer energy from either the Fixed Storage or Energy Transfer Device .
