Energy transfer terminal in Genshin Impact: how it works and where to find it

Energy transfer terminals in puzzles within the Hydro region.

In the article we will demonstrate all the locations of the devices and tell you what to do with the energy transfer terminal and how to solve puzzles with it. We will indicate the detailed sequence of actions required to receive awards.

What is an energy transfer terminal and what is it for?

Energy transfer terminals are found only in Fontaine. Most often, the devices are located in ruins and are used to solve puzzles with the energy transfer terminal. Next to them on the walls there are usually cameras, to which the character connects in the process of studying puzzles.

This type of mechanism is sometimes associated with mysterious patterns on the walls. Find out more about them by reading the guide at Ciphergrams.

How does the energy transfer terminal work in Genshin Impact?

In order to understand what condition the device is in, just pay attention to its color:

• Blue – working terminal available for activation.
• Red – a non-working terminal, to activate which you need to perform certain actions.

Sometimes, in order to put the red mechanism into working mode, it needs to be filled with energy from a portable storage device or defeat nearby enemies. Some devices may appear red because they are connected to world quest, and they cannot be used before it starts.

After activating the terminal, it switches to camera mode, where you can collect and transmit energy from various storage devices. In some cases, you need to switch to a different viewfinder. To do this, point the scope at the desired camera and wait until the circle fills with blue, after which you will see an overview from another viewfinder.

You can only take energy from storage devices that emit a blue glow. Use the crosshair and aim it at the desired device, then click Enterto get energy. To transfer it to another drive, just aim at it and press the same button.
