An Epic New Genshin Impact Update for Puzzle Lovers

As a ride-or-die Genshin Impact fan who has completed every quest, I‘ve been hyped for the 3.4 update "The Exquisite Night Chimes" for months. miHoYo really went all-out packing this version with awesome new additions to satisfy our cravings for more adventure.

For context, Genshin Impact has absolutely exploded in popularity in the two years since its release. It‘s now the second highest grossing mobile game globally, generating over $3 billion in lifetime revenue so far, according to Sensor Tower estimates. It also boasts over 60 million registered players worldwide as of 2022, making it one of the most successful RPGs out there.

miHoYo has kept players hooked by consistently releasing major updates like 3.4 that introduce exciting new World Quests, domains, characters, equipment, and unique mechanisms to master. This time around, the headlining addition is the sprawling Desert of Hadramaveth area. This desert region is packed with challenges, including the new Ruin Serpent boss, buried treasure to discover, and intricate puzzles to solve.

As a gamer who loves brain-busting puzzles almost as much as crushing Hilichurls with my Cyno‘s sword slashes, I couldn‘t wait to check out the new puzzles in the update. The Adeptus Ex Scene 1 puzzle immediately caught my attention when I unlocked it. It combines strategic planning with quick reflexes, making it one of the more complex puzzles I‘ve encountered in the game. Of course, I had to master it right away, which brings me to this guide!

Breaking Down the Adeptus Ex Scene 1 Puzzle

When you first enter the Adeptus Ex Scene 1 puzzle domain located southwest of The Mausoleum of King Deshret, you‘ll see a 3×3 grid made up of stone wall fragments. Each has a distinct symbol like a moon or palm tree engraved on it. There‘s also an NPC character wandering the grid in a fixed route.

Your goal is to shift around the wall fragments to modify the NPC‘s path so they can access the door. But here‘s the catch – you only get a certain number of steps to rearrange the grid before time expires. This limitation is what makes the puzzle tricky to complete on the first try.

Through extensive trial-and-error, I figured out that you need to make 4 specific moves in the correct order to ensure the NPC traverses the grid fully and reaches the door. Now let‘s get into the step-by-step walkthrough!

Step 1: Move the Bottom Left Corner Piece to the Top Middle

When the NPC first starts moving, they walk along the top row from the left corner to the right corner. Right when they reach that top right corner, you need to take immediate action.

Shift the fragment in the bottom left corner up into the top middle position. This will make a new path for the NPC to progress right on the next part of their route.

Here‘s a visual for Step 1:

Timing here is crucial – make the move as soon as you see the NPC hit that top right corner. Hesitate too long and you may fail the puzzle!

Step 2: Move the Top Left Corner Piece to the Bottom Middle

Okay, you‘ve made the first move, but don‘t relax yet! The moment the NPC starts walking right along the top row, move the top left fragment down to the bottom middle space.

This further opens up the grid so that on the next part of their path, the NPC can access the right side fully.

Check out the diagram below to see what Step 2 looks like:

Making this move quickly after the first one is vital. I used the food buff Swiftness of the Wind to give me the extra speed I needed here. You gotta be fast!

Step 3: Move the Top Middle Piece to the Top Right Corner

This is where the Puzzle starts getting really intense! Once the NPC reaches the top middle square, you need to immediately slide the top middle fragment over to the top right corner.

This allows the NPC to walk allll the way down the right side of the grid on their next movement sequence.

Here‘s a visual for the Step 3 move:

Make sure you wait until the NPC fully hits that middle spot before moving the fragment over. Rushing this third move could sabotage the entire puzzle attempt!

Step 4: Move the Top Middle Piece to the Bottom Middle

You‘ve almost got it now. As soon as the NPC starts walking down the right column, make one final move by shifting the top middle fragment into the bottom middle space.

This fully connects the path for the NPC to reach the bottom row and go through the exit door. Phew!

Check out this diagram of the completed path for Step 4:

Once you slide that last wall piece into place, sit back and enjoy watching the NPC follow the path you‘ve created straight to the exit. You did it!

Crushing This Puzzle Like a Pro Gamer

If you execute those four moves precisely in the order I described, you‘ll solve the tricky Adeptus Ex Scene 1 puzzle on your first attempt, no sweat. Here are some final pro tips to make sure you complete it smoothly:

• Focus intently on the NPC‘s movement pattern so you can respond quickly.

• Use food buffs like Adeptus‘ Temptation to get an edge.

• Have a co-op buddy help call out the move timings.

• Take a practice run first to get the timing and sequence down if you need to.
