An Expected Lie Walkthrough

Head to Nacker's Hideout

Genshin - Head to Nacker

Nacker's Hideout is located at the southwestern corner of Fort Charybdis Ruins. Use the nearby Fort Charybdis Ruins waypoint to teleport near the destination.

Dive Underwater to Reach the Sealed Door

Genshin - Dive Underwater and Reach the Sealed Door
The hideout is located underwater, so you need to dive down until you can find a sealed door. Paimon will make a comment of the sealed door once you reach its location.

Open the Sealed Door

Head south from the sealed door to hit the Xenochromatic Ball Octopus with your normal attack to get its power. This allows you to solve the puzzle and open the sealed door.

Hit the orange crystal on the right side to turn it into a blue crystal. This lowers the gaps around the door frame, allowing you to move the square block.

Press and hold the Ball Octopus' skill on the pedestal to move the square block all the way to the bottom-right corner.

Quickly hit the blue crystal so it turns into an orange crystal. This activates the gap so that the square block stays on the bottom-right corner.

Find Nacker and Defeat the Incoming Meka

Genshin - Find Nacker and Defeat the Incoming Meka
Enter the sealed door and watch the two cutscenes. Defeat the Server-Type Gev003 and Nacker in the fight to proceed to the next objective.
