Look for a way forward

Genshin Impact  Walkthrough - Look for a way forward

Once you're underwater, look for a way forward. You can simply dive until you see the large entrance of the Orthant, with two machine storages outside. You can immediately release the energy from the one to your right, for the energy to flow.

However, you must first rotate the Regulating Valve using the Feather Valve, until the valve clicks in place, and lights up!

Override the Cannon for a Chest

The whole area is guarded by Dangerous Autocannons so you'll have to swim around to avoid taking damage or override them completely! Overriding them can help you destroy the boulder nearby, which hides an Exquisite Chest inside!

Solve the Orthant's puzzle

Genshin Impact  Walkthrough - Solve the Orthant

Once you're inside, solve the Orthant's puzzle, to get the piece from the Orthant of Soul. As with other Orthants, you must direct all energy towards the machine in the middle of the room, to do so!

How to Solve The Orthant's Puzzle

How to Solve The Orthant's Puzzle
1
Once you're inside, immediately release the energy from the Energy Flow device. You'll see that the door across needs a Special Key to be opened, which you can get later!
2
From the locked door, glide down to your left, until you see the huge door with enemy Meks guarding outside. Defeat them and press forward.
3
From the main machine mechanism, make a sharp turn to your left, until you see a lift, and a Looking Glass hanging by the wall. Enter the glass.
4
Then, exit using the portrait hanging beside two fire torches. You will then get teleported out into a hallway with an Energy Flow device at the end. Alternatively, you can simply use the nearby lift to get to the upper floor.
5
Either way, you should see an Energy Flow device at the end. Head towards the device, and pick up the Special Key behind it, as well as the Hydroculus. Then go across the hallway, and use the switch to call the Lift, if you used the Looking Glass.
6
Once the lift, and the Energy Device are on the same floor, release the Energy from the device. This will summon enemy Meks, so defeat them, and press on.
7
After defeating the enemies, go down the floor below, and hit release once the lift stops.
8
Walk towards the machine at the middle, then make a sharp turn to your left. You should see an Energy Flow device. Use it to go to the floor below.
9
As soon as you step out of the lift, swim towards the submerged room. Hit the Blue Lantern once, to unlock the door, and summon a Fontaine Current. Enter the room.
10
Once inside, hit the Orange Lantern slightly hidden to your left. This will open the door, revealing a Fontemer Aberrant Ball Octopus inside.
11
Swim slightly closer to the door, without actually going in, then hit the Orange Lantern once. This will close the outer door, so make sure to quickly swim, so you won't get locked out.
12
The Energy Flow device should now be unlocked. Release the energy from it once to drain the water from the room. This also unlocks all doors behind you, which leads to a room filled with enemy meks.
13
Use the Hydro Bubble to quickly access the Energy Flow device. Use it to go up the floor above, then hit release, as soon as it stops.
14
Then, walk towards the main Energy Flow device, then turn to your left. You will see another Hydro Bubble, which you should use to access the locked door that needs a Special Key.
15
Lastly, go to the floor below using the lift, then hit release once it stops. The energy should reach the main mechanism, solving the Orthant of Soul puzzle!

Obtain the Soul piece

Genshin Impact  Walkthrough - Obtain the "Soul" piece

As with the previous two pieces, the Soul piece from the Orthant of Soul is no longer there. Quickly proceed to the next Orthant.
