Mysterious core in "Amazing scent".
In this guide, we will tell you where to find all the mysterious cores in Fontainewhat they are for and how to give them to Henry.
Why you need a mysterious core
The Mysterious Core is required to unlock the world quest "Still Can't Hold It!", which is a continuation of the quest "Amazing scent". The item is contained in precious chests given out for solving riddles with pneumatic mechanisms scattered around Fontaine. You can stumble upon them both when exploring the world on your own, and after receiving a corresponding request from Henry.
Where to find the Mysterious Core in Genshin Impact
In total, according to Henry, somewhere in Fontaine you can find 7 cores that he needs to complete the task of the Research Center. The location of the items is not shown on the map in any way and cannot be tracked in any way within the quest.
Three mysterious cores are located on land in the southern part of Fontaine, in the areas of Beryl and Bello. The remaining four are hidden under water in the central part of the region. For convenience, the location of all quest items was indicated on the map, and then we will consider each of the points in more detail.
Mystery Core 1
The first puzzle is located at the foot of the waterfall in the southwestern part of the Beryl region. This and all subsequent riddles are presented in the form of mechanisms interacting with energies of Ushii and Pneuma. Consistently charge the machine with the necessary arche powers to bring it into harmony and receive a reward in the form of a chest.
Right under the mechanism, pick up Ushii's energy block (purple ball) and attack the device. Here and at subsequent points, it is most convenient to do this with the help of targeted attacks by archers, since in this case you will not have to climb onto the disappearing platforms.
The attack will transfer energy to the mechanism, but due to the excitement nearby will appear mek opponents. Defeat the enemies and take the Pneuma block (yellow ball) that appeared in the water. Attack the car again to charge it with the right power.
A group of meks will reappear on the battlefield, and after defeating it, a new Ushii block will spawn on the stone under the mechanism.
As a result of the last attack, the mechanism will be destroyed, and a reward in the form of a precious chest will appear under it. In the treasury, in addition to the usual rewards, it will be possible to find the first mysterious core.
Mystery Core 2
The second puzzle is in a clearing in the southernmost part of the Bello area.
Find Ushii's first block by the bushes near the mechanism and aim at the car. After fighting the summoned opponents, head to the trees north of the puzzle and collect the Pneuma block from the flower bushes.
After attacking the machine with Pneuma and fighting a group of Meks, grab another Ushii Block near the battle area and launch it with a targeted attack at the machine. The last attack will complete the puzzle and spawn a precious chest on the hill. Open it to collect the second Mysterious Core.
Mystery Core 3
The puzzle with the third core is located on the east coast of the Beryl region near the anchorage, not far from the Statue of the Archon. On the crates by the pier, grab Ushii's first block and release it with an aimed attack at the mechanism.
All subsequent blocks that spawn after attacking the car and defeating waves of opponents will appear on disappearing platforms near the pier. Collect them and send energy to the mechanism. Ushii's last attack will spawn a chest right on the wooden platforms by the water.
Mystery Core 4
The fourth puzzle is hidden under water in the Cours-de-Fontaine area at the teleportation point south of the Talat underwater valley. Before starting to solve it, be sure to attack xenochromic oscarfloating nearby to gain a skill that allows you to fire water blades in the specified direction.
Ushii's first block is trapped in seaweed. You can free it with the help of a skill obtained from an ostrogat. Climb to the hill so that all three points on the vines converge into one, and release a water blade in their direction, aiming with a long press. Pick up the released block and head towards the mechanism.
When you get close to the car, hit it with a normal underwater attack to transfer the collected energy.
After fighting a small wave of enemies, look at the bottom under the mechanism. Break another algae trap with the water blade to release a block of Pneuma's energy.
After a blow charged with Pneuma, a precious chest containing the fourth mysterious core will remain in its place on the mechanism.
Mystery Core 5
To the north of the underwater location of the Salos Sea Plateau, near the teleportation point, is the fifth puzzle.
The first energy block to solve it can be found on a large seaweed north of the machine itself. Take it and transfer the power to the mechanism to summon the first wave of opponents.
All subsequent blocks will be located on the same seaweed as the first one. Take them, transfer them to the mechanism and fight the enemies.
After the third attack, a reward will remain in the place of the car in the form of a precious chest with the fifth mysterious core in it.
Mystery Core 6
Near the teleportation point in the location of the Salos Sea Plateau is another mystery. To solve it, you need to find nearby echolusk and activate it. The released wave will reveal the location of a certain object in the sands under the mechanism.
Dig out a Pneuma block from the indicated point and it to the mechanism to summon the first wave of enemies. floats nearby xenochromic plumpness, the skill obtained from him will allow you to hit opponents with sound waves. Defeat the enemies and go in search of the next blocks.
Reactivate the echolusk and dig the second energy block from the farthest marked point. Take the energy and send it to the mechanism.
The second energy strike will complete the puzzle and leave in place of the mechanism a reward in the form of a precious chest, inside of which the sixth mysterious core is hidden.
Mystery Core 7
The last puzzle is next to the dungeon Pale forgotten flower.
To solve it, you need to find xenochrome armored crab nearby and attack it to gain the ability to summon a shatter shield.
Return to the mechanism and look for a pile of stones nearby. Activate a shield skill near her or fire a projectile while holding the ability button to destroy the barrier and release Ushii's block. Take it to the car and defeat the group of opponents that appeared nearby.
After that, next to the place where the block was taken, will appear pulelusk, periodically firing dangerous projectiles at the active character. Hold a shield skill to release a charge at the creature and destroy its stone shell.
The Pneuma block, necessary for the mechanism, will remain in place of the bullet. Return it to the machine and open the chest left in its place.
Once the last Mystery Core has been collected, in case the quest "Amazing scent" already completed, another task will automatically begin - "Still impossible to resist!", During which it is necessary to return the found parts to Henry.
