Genshin Impact: Complete Guide to Natlan’s Relay Ball Puzzle Locations
Relay Ball Puzzle Locations in Natlan
1. First Relay Ball Puzzle: Hidden Cave West of the Ancestral Temple
The first puzzle is tucked away inside a secret cave to the west of the Ancestral Temple. This puzzle not only involves navigating the cave but also overcoming a powerful enemy to access the Relay Ball.
- Solution: Begin by teleporting to the waypoint northwest of the Ancestral Temple. Head south, crossing the ruins, until you spot a small cave entrance near a tent and a group of Yumkasaurs. Enter the cave and defeat the Wayob Manifestation, a formidable foe that guards the Relay Ball. Once the seal is removed, transform into a Yumkasaur and ascend to the next floor. Pick up the Relay Ball and move to the opposite corner of the room, where you’ll find a green Relay Ball Converter. Aim at this Converter and release the ball to complete the final puzzle. No need to interact with the blue Converter. Your efforts will be rewarded with an Exquisite Chest.
2. Second Relay Ball Puzzle: Lower Level of the Ancestral Temple
To continue your adventure with the Relay Ball puzzles, teleport to the waypoint in the Ancestral Temple. From here, turn around and descend to the lower level of the temple. You will find the first puzzle waiting for you.
- Solution: Interact with the Spiritsconce to transform into a Yumkasaur, a creature with the unique ability to carry and throw the Relay Ball. Once in Yumkasaur form, pick up the Relay Ball using the designated skill button. Carefully aim at the Relay Ball Converter nearby and release the ball to complete the puzzle. As a reward, you will receive an Exquisite Chest, which contains a valuable Courier’s Trial Keystone—a crucial item needed to unlock a sealed gate in the temple.
3. Third Relay Ball Puzzle: Eastern Bridge
The third puzzle takes place on the eastern bridge of the Ancestral Temple. This challenge is slightly more complex and requires precise timing and accuracy.
- Solution: Start by transforming into the Yumkasaur and picking up the Relay Ball. Aim at the red platform located on the opposite side of the bridge. Once the ball makes contact with the Converter, quickly turn around and use the Yumkasaur’s skill to activate the device on the nearby door. Successfully completing this maneuver will reward you with another Exquisite Chest, containing yet another Courier’s Trial Keystone.
4. Fourth Relay Ball Puzzle: Western Bridge
The last puzzle is located on the western bridge of the Ancestral Temple. This puzzle requires a bit of finesse, as you will need to change the direction of the Relay Ball mid-puzzle.
- Solution: After reaching the western bridge, pick up the Relay Ball in Yumkasaur form and throw it at the Relay Ball Converter to change its trajectory. Then, aim and release the ball at the Converter a second time to complete the puzzle. Solving this challenge will grant you an Exquisite Chest and the final Courier’s Trial Keystone needed to progress in the hidden quest.
