Update 4.8 introduced the Simulanka location to Genshin Impact. This area is temporary and will be available until August 24, 2024. During this period, players can study its mysteries, especially the puzzles tied to the stars and a hidden chamber. This guide focuses on the star puzzle and the secret room available within Simulanka.
Access to the puzzle
First, unlock the Simulanka region. The path requires three steps:
- Reach adventure rank 18
- Complete the Archon quest Prologue Act III Song of Dragon Freedom
- Finish the quest The story begins in a forest where no rain falls
After entering Simulanka, begin with the event’s main storyline. This will grant access to the Broken Sea, which opens after completing the mission Until the End of the World.
Then head to the northern island within the area to continue exploration.
What is the essence of the riddle with the stars?
Centered on the island near the teleport point are three stars. When approached, each star bursts into motion and flees in a different direction. The goal is to locate all three stars, guide them toward the designated point, and complete the puzzle.
First star
From the central location on the island, move to the right. The star hovers just above the ground near a small hill. Approach it and it will begin to flee; follow its path. A teleport pillar will appear along the way. Use it to advance quickly.
Keep tailing the star until it stops. A chest becomes accessible, then activate another pillar to return to the main island.
Second star
From the island center, run left until a star appears. When you reach the cliff, scan the area and hop along the invisible platforms. The star flies toward a statue that requires a perimeter walk. There you will discover a second chest. Open it and retrace your steps back to the start.
Third star
The third star sits to the left of the central statue. Chase it, leap between platforms, and when the star drops, you gain access to the surrounding area. Choose Inspect to examine the scene. Jump down, then follow the star until it leads to the secret room.
Inside, players will find handy souvenirs and tools, with the option to place items connected to the Simulanka main storyline. This content is a great way to collect rewards while learning the lore of the location.
Note: All discoveries are part of the Simulanka event experience and can be revisited during the event window. Marker-style notes and guidance are commonly shared by players who love exploring the map and solving its star-based puzzles. [VG Times]
