Upon the release of the new areas in Fontaine, Genshin Impact players have been eagerly waiting for an area filled with advanced enemies, exciting exploration, and additional lore. Lore is a big part of Genshin Impact and can be considered one of the most important aspects of the game. It brings players a world so intricately woven in tales from the past, present, and future, which are carefully placed into various aspects of the game. These range from quests to weapons, to furniture to books, and more.
A quest filled with lore and amazing rewards that players can enjoy is the Road To Singularity World Quest. Fortunately for players, this World Quest is not quest-locked and can easily be triggered by heading to the waypoint at the Fontaine Research Institute Region.
Energy Concentrating Components 1 & 2
Players can teleport to the waypoint indicated above, head west, and follow the road towards a cave. At the end of the tunnel, travelers will find an elevator and a control box that will need to be hit with Ousia to activate. This will take players down towards Kuisel’s Clockwork Workshop, and the Road To Singularity quest will immediately be triggered.
How to Release Kuisel
Travelers will happen across ‘Kuisel’ locked in a cage and will be tasked with figuring out how to release him. The Energy Transfer Terminal is somewhat tricky and can be a little confusing for players who have not yet encountered this in the new area. Follow the below steps to activate the terminal and unlock the cage:
- Activate the terminal beside the cage.
- The camera will angle the large metal gate on the left. Grab the blue light from the beacon below it and then angle the small square to fit the red light above the door.
- This will turn the red light blue and the corresponding door blue.
- Move the target towards the beacon next to the cage and click the button on the screen. Once the beacon turns blue as well, the cage can be unlocked.
If players jump ahead and start the challenge without grabbing the blue light from the beacon next to the left door, they can still continue on with a cancel or simply angle the square back and forth until the blue light can be used to unlock the cage. The next puzzle in the quest pertains to the valves the player will have to shut off in the workshop. The last handwheel will be locked inside a cage, and the key can be found behind the Ousia block, which will have to be broken with Pneuma. The beacon can be placed next to the cage to unlock it and also be used to activate a wind current in case players miss the valves above.
In the third underground level, there will be another mechanical puzzle awaiting them, and players will have to move all the pipes in the workshop to their correct orientation. Players can watch the video below for a closer look at the pipe fittings needed to complete the challenge. If successful, they can claim an Exquisite Chest and continue on with the quest.
This will lead to the first two Energy Concentrating Components that travelers will receive after defeating two Clockwork Meka below.
Instead of exploring the platform where the two Clockwork Meka were, players should instead drop into the hole below and solve another pipe puzzle to open the sealed doors above. Travelers will have to keep in mind that, once again, all the pipes will need to be horizontal, and the stop button will have to be clicked on time so that they do not miss the rotation. Players can follow the video below for reference in case they miss the rotation to see how it can be rectified. The quest will soon reach its end, and players can enjoy the first Luxurious Chest awarded.
Energy Concentrating Component 3
Players will need to teleport to the waypoint at Mont Esus and continue northwest toward the edge of the map. Travelers will need to look out for broken pillars along an unsteady path, which will lead them to an immobilized Meka at the top. The key to activating the Meka lies within the Ousia block near the Pneuma mechanism; once hit, the Meka will come to life, and players will have to defeat it to receive the component.
Energy Concentrating Component 4
This next component is located at the base of the mountains behind the Statue of Seven in the Liffey Region. It would be easier for players to reach this Meka by first teleporting to the Echoes of the Deep Tides Weapon domain and heading north to the base of the mountain.
Energy Concentrating Component 5
The fifth component can be found underwater near the teleport waypoint south of the Millennium Seahorse. The Meka can be found right behind the characters, and players will need to use the Xenochromatic Jellyfish in the vicinity to defeat it and obtain the component.
Energy Concentrating Component 6
Obtaining this second-last component is fairly easy for players. By teleporting to the waypoint far north of the map in the Fontaine Research Institute of Kinetic Energy Engineering Region, players can spot a Meka couple in a puddle of water. Defeating them will give travelers the sixth component.
Energy Concentrating Component 7
The last component can be found through one of either two methods. Players can either opt to finish the Unfinished Comedy quest and reach the last Meka by opening the waypoint or instead enter the water behind the Millennium Seahorse cave and swim until they reach the hidden waypoint in the Submerged Stony Path. Once reaching the Meka, travelers need to interact with the food near it to activate and receive the last component.
Where to Use the Components
As the tunnels beneath Fontaine are mostly connected, all players need to do is climb up to the platform that’s located behind the Meka and continue north. As long as players follow the route and head straight, it will lead them right back into Kuisel’s Workshop - which is where they receive the first two components, and the final reward awaits them.
Both doors can be unlocked by hitting the Crystal Mechanism near the seabed.
Players can now use the 7 components to unlock the additional Luxurious chest in the cage and receive the following achievement as well: The Worst! Fontaine’s Eight Evil Clockwork Knights! This quest, in total, awards travelers with 2 Luxurious Chests and 80+ Primogems (in addition to the ones players might uncover along the way).
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4 and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
