All Swaying Eels puzzle locations in Genshin Impact Sea of Bygone Eras

Location 1

You will find the first Swaying Eel puzzle near a teleport waypoint located southeast of Initium Iani. The puzzle will be right beside the waypoint, so you cannot miss it.

Interact with the puzzle and start the challenge. Here, you need to cause all three Swaying Eels in the coral reefs to pop out at the same time. You must wait for around six to eight seconds for this to happen. When all three eels pop out, use the pause "Symphony" ability to catch all three eels and complete the challenge. This will reward you with an Exquisite Chest.
