An apple puzzle tied to a Hydro Eidolon in Veluriyam Mirage has stumped several Genshin Impact players. Thankfully, the solution is quite simple. You need to place an apple on the tray, log off, and then log back in. Repeat the process two more times to unlock a hidden Exquisite Chest. This guide includes photos of everything that Travelers need to know in case the text description doesn’t suffice by itself.

Opening the hidden Exquisite Chest will provide you with one Joyeux Voucher, five Primogems, and a bunch of miscellaneous loot. Doing this whole apple puzzle in Veluriyam Mirage should only take players about a minute to do, so let’s get started!

If you don’t know where to start, the above image should help you out. Genshin Impact 3.8 introduced the Veluriyam Mirage, so go to the temporary region. The southern Teleport Waypoint in the Silver Bottle Courtyard is close, so teleport there and head northwest to get to this spot.

Go to the plate in front of the Hydro Eidolon and interact with it. You should see a menu similar to what’s shown above. Select an apple and confirm the choice. The Hydro Eidolon will be happy. The end of this guide has an interactive map for finding apples if you forgot to get some.

Assuming you used the plate correctly, it’s time to log off. Quit Genshin Impact and log in again.

Dozens of apples can be found scattered across Mondstadt and Liyue. Remember that the apple puzzle only requires three of these fruits to be used. Collect them from anywhere in the above interactive map and return to Veluriyam Mirage to meet the Hydro Eidolon.

Place the item on the Hydro Eidolon’s plate, log off, and repeat the process a few times to unlock the hidden Exquisite Chest. Make sure to do this before Genshin Impact 3.8 ends since Veluriyam Mirage will disappear once Version 4.0 launches. Free Primogems and other loot are always appreciated.
