The Hydro nation is very famous for all of the Institute’s technological breakthroughs and their application to everyday life, such as the Clockwork Meka. Unfortunately, an experiment went wrong, and the Fontaine Research Institute of Kinetic Energy Engineering Region was destroyed in an explosion. Now, the Central Laboratory Ruins in Genshin Impact have many valuable objects, although you must solve some Seelie puzzles to access the chests. This is one of the trickiest puzzles in this area, where you must climb up the floating water cubes.

All the Central Laboratory Ruins Seelie Locations
While exploring the water “cubes” in the Central Laboratory Ruins of Genshin Impact, you can find half a building with doors and a puzzle that requires 4 Seelie. At first glance, you might think this will be a piece of cake, but even if you see Seelie, you will not be able to get it because of the invisible walls. Luckily for you, we know a way to solve this obstacle quickly.
First Seelie Location
First, you must teleport to the Central Laboratory Ruins Waypoint and then jump into the water cube. Then, find the door with four statues for Seelie and swim left to the breakable rocks. Use Jellyfish’s abilities to destroy the rocks and free the first Seelie.
Second Seelie
Your next target is directly opposite the door. However, an invisible wall separates you from it. Therefore, you have to swim up and jump off the cube’s edge. Then, glide back into the water to reach the second Seelie. After this, the obstacle will disappear, and you can easily swim to the main door.
Third Seelie
Now, you need to swim under the arch of the ruins and pick up the Ousia block. Then, take it to the Energy Transfer Terminal and activate the mechanism to remove the invisible wall in the crack in the wall. Swim there, and you will find the third Seelie.
Fourth Seelie
The last Seelie is outside the water on a ledge. You can either fly around the cube by jumping from the Waypoint or jump out of the water. Then, all you have to do is guide Seelie to the door, and you will solve the Central Laboratory Ruins Seelie Puzzle in Genshin Impact.
As soon as the mechanism doors open, you will be able to claim the rewards of a Luxurious Chest. Also, if you are already so many meters above Fontaine, try to unlock the Teleport Waypoints that are higher up in the ruins. This will be vital to ease your movement in the World Quest: Fontaine Research Institute, Stagnating in the Rubble. This is the quest where you see an explosion behind the Traveller while taking a picture with some Fontaine researchers.
