The mystical Adeptus Ex challenges in Genshin Impact offer some of the trickiest, most satisfying puzzles in the entire game. They test players‘ brains with complex mechanics while revealing insightful lore about Teyvat‘s ancient past. With the new Version 3.4 update, a perplexing second Adeptus Ex Scene has been discovered in the sprawling deserts of Sumeru. This guide will equip you to take on its confounding obstacles and emerge victorious!
Unlocking the Enigma of Adeptus Ex
To set the stage, let‘s first unravel the history behind these cryptic Adeptus Ex puzzles. They were initially added back in Genshin Impact Version 2.5 as the brainchild of an ancient civilization known as the Adepti. Spread across Teyvat, each puzzle scene represents their elaborate system of trials left behind to judge worthy travelers.
Solving Adeptus Ex challenges provides travelers precious resources and achievements. But more importantly, assembling all the scenes incrementally reveals long lost lore about the Adepti, expanding Genshin‘s intricate mythology. There are currently six known Adeptus Ex Scenes hidden across Mondstadt, Liyue, and now Sumeru regions.
Gaining Access to the Elusive Scene 2
To access the perplexing Adeptus Ex Scene 2, you first need to complete the Archon Quest "Beneath the Sand-Stained Veil" as part of Genshin‘s Version 3.4 update. This epic quest unravels the secrets of Sumeru‘s new desert area, known as the Hadramaveth, and eventually unlocks the domain where Scene 2 lies in wait.
Given the brain-busting nature of these puzzles, you need to be at least Adventure Rank 32 before the quest becomes available. Scene 2 is truly aimed at higher level travelers who have uncovered much of Teyvat‘s secrets already. So be sure to keep honing your skills and gear until you meet the requirements!
Navigating the Labyrinth – How Scene 2‘s Puzzle Works
Your goal in each mystifying Adeptus Ex Scene is to safely guide a marked pathfinding dummy from a starting point to the end portal. You must do so by rearranging magical floating tiles to create a safe route while avoiding lethal traps and obstacles.
Scene 2 features a 5×5 grid of these movable tiles. You can slide any tile orthogonally into an adjacent empty space to pave a path. Each turn, you can maneuver just one tile until the dummy finally reaches sanctuary.
However, some tiles here contain hidden pressure plates that trigger elaborate contraptions and traps when stepped on! So you must plan your turns carefully to avoid holes, walls, darts and other threats to your soft-headed dummy. There are no do-overs or backtracking of steps, so focus and foresight are key.
Let‘s break down exactly how to crack Scene 2‘s code with the following step-by-step walkthrough:
Mastering the Maze – Step-By-Step Solutions
- Move the top middle tile down into the bottom right corner empty space. This allows the dummy to walk right onto the first pressure plate.
- Move the bottom right tile left into the bottom left corner position. Stepping on this plate triggers a wall slamming down from above.
- Next, move the bottom left tile up into the original middle space. This opens a safe path heading upwards.
- Move the bottom left tile right into the bottom middle space.
- Finally, move the bottom middle tile up into the top middle position. Thedummy can now walk unharmed to the portal!
