When I first stepped into the Constellation Metropole during the Summertide Scales and Tales event, the glowing Oracle Pillars and winding paths of Simulanka Island felt like a stage waiting for my intervention. Little did I know that helping three peculiar figures navigate these streets would become my most memorable puzzle experience in Genshin Impact version 4.8.
🏃♂️ The Reckless Runner’s Redemption
My journey began with the Reckless Figure sprinting toward disaster. I learned the hard way that starting the challenge immediately leads to him getting stuck in glue – a hilarious but frustrating sight! The real solution came from observing the environment:
-
Pre-Challenge Preparation 👉
-
Activate the ringed Oracle Pillar using magic thread
-
Connect it to surrounding pillars to create barriers
-
Timing Is Everything ⏱️
-
Only after setting up the "safety net" do you let him run
-
Watch him dramatically reroute around obstacles

🍎 Feeding the Insatiable Foodie
Next came the Greedy Figure, whose constant demands turned the challenge into a culinary race. The key was recognizing food cues through his exaggerated complaints:
| His Whine 🗣️ | Required Item 🍴 |
|---|---|
| "If only we had fruit..." | 🍎 Apple |
| "I need meat!" | 🍗 Fowl |
| "Something sweet..." | 🌸 Sweet Flower |
The trick? Keeping these three items pre-selected in your quick-access menu. I nearly failed when fumbling through my inventory for Sweet Flowers!

🧭 Navigating the Confused Wanderer
The final Troubled Figure required spatial awareness. At crossroads, his hesitation mirrored my own first-time confusion:
-
First Intersection 🚦
-
❌ Left path = Dead end
-
✅ Right path = Progress
-
Second Junction ⚠️
-
❌ Right turn = Glue trap
-
✅ Straight path = Victory
What surprised me was how the camera angle intentionally obscures obstacles – a clever design choice to test player observation.

🤔 Beyond the Challenges
While celebrating my 100 Primogem haul, I wondered:
-
Could these figures represent different player archetypes?
-
Will future updates expand on Simulanka’s story-rich puzzles?
The true reward wasn’t just the chests, but realizing how Genshin Impact transforms simple navigation into character-driven narratives. Each figure’s personality shaped their challenge mechanics – a design philosophy that makes Teyvat’s world feel alive. As I left Pendulum Lane, I found myself anticipating what new ‘living puzzles’ Fontaine’s next update might bring...
