How to "Connect to the pilot cabin power system" in Genshin Impact

Connecting to the pilot cabin power system is a tricky quest in Genshin Impact that many players struggle with. At first glance, it seems simple – just turn on two power beams. But with no clear instructions given, it can quickly become frustrating. This step-by-step guide will walk you through how to successfully connect to the pilot cabin power system.

Overview of the Quest

This quest takes place in the Guili Plains area of Liyue. You must locate and activate two power beams in order to connect power to the pilot cabin system.

Completing this is required to progress the main story quest "A New Star Approaches." It also rewards you with loot like a Luxurious Chest, Adventure EXP, Dendro Sigils, and more.

The key to success is finding and placing the two shiny object power sources into beams. But with maze-like ruins and no clear direction, many get lost. Follow the steps below to efficiently connect the pilot cabin power system.

Step-By-Step Guide

Enter the Ruins

Start from the teleport waypoint on Guili Plains. Head south towards the massive ancient ruins, entering from the ground level.

Activate the elevator and select "Go to the top level" to reach the upper ruined platforms.

Locate the First Power Source

Exiting the elevator, head southwest across the platforms. You‘ll come across a wall you can "Draw" on.

Select "Place" on the door to the left. This will create a wind current pulling you upwards.

Glide upwards to the higher platform. Interact with the Mysterious Chronicle object here to make a power source appear.

Activate the First Power Beam

Head back downstairs to the previous room. "Draw" another wall again and create a wind current leading through the door on the right.

This takes you to a new room with the first power beam console. Pick up the shiny power source in the center of the room.

Take this source back to the previous room, and "Draw" a line to the far end of the area. "Place" the power source in the beam console to activate it.

Obtain the Second Power Source

After activating the first beam, return to the central room and "Draw" a line to the door on the far right.

Follow this to find a Luxurious Chest. Loot this for rewards. There is also a second power source in this room to pick up.

Activate the Second Power Beam

Go back to the main room with the draw wall. Create a line heading to the opposite end from the first power beam.

"Place" the second power source into this beam console to activate it.

Complete the Quest

With both power beams now active, the pilot cabin power system will be connected successfully!

A cutscene plays, and you will receive Adventurer EXP, Dendro Sigils, and can now progress the main storyline.

Tips and Warnings

• Exploring the ruins clockwise makes navigating the puzzle easier.

• The luxurious chest has good loot, so don‘t miss it!

• You must activate the power beams in order, source 1 then 2.

• The action button hints are easy to miss – look for the "Draw" and "Place" prompts.
