How to solve the Primal Sandglass puzzle in Genshin Impact
To solve the Primal Sandglass puzzle in Genshin Impact, you need to find the first Sandglass and flip it.
Next, flip the remaining Sandglasses before the time runs out to complete the challenge.
Here are 2 steps to do this:
- Find the first Primal Sandglass and flip it to start the challenge.
- Find the remaining Primal Sandglasses and flip them before the time runs out.
Here’s the puzzle’s description, “A giant hourglass. No one knows why it was built and then left here. When touched, it will start to flip and mark time”.
Followed by, “Rotate all the nearby Primal Sandglasses before this giant hourglass’ sands run out, and you may gain some unexpected boon…”.
If you’re doing the “Try to unlock the rooms located deep within” objective, you need to flip 3 Primal Sandglasses.
The Primal Sandglasses can be reached by using the four-leaf sigils.
You need to flip all 3 Sandglasses in 30 seconds or you’ll fail the challenge.
