As Genshin Impact players explore the recently added Watatsumi Island, they are bound to encounter one of the many Rotating Cube puzzles found throughout the region. There are a total of ten Rotating Cube puzzles that Genshin Impact players can find throughout Watatsumi Island and the rewards for completing each of the puzzles vary.
For players unfamiliar with the Rotating Cube puzzles, they are completed by striking the cubes in the correct order until a certain pattern is achieved (eg. all cubes facing the same direction, all cubes lit up). While some of the Rotating Cube puzzles will only reward the player with a common chest, others reward exquisite and precious chests. This guide will outline the locations and numeric sequences to solving each of the ten rotating cube puzzles below.
