These are the two new World Quests you unlock while attempting Fontaine Research Institute Chronicles in Genshin Impact:

• Go to the Institute Dormitories and retrieve the Anchor
• Go to the Institute of Clockwork Applications and retrieve the Anchor

Let's start with the second one. You will be tasked with defeating some Gardemeks before descending down the nearby staircase.

Once you go down the staircase, turn left. You should see more Clockwork Mekas to defeat next to an Energy Transfer Terminal. Before using that device, make sure to destroy some rubble in the corner of the room. Afterward, grab the Ousia Block near the top of the room and attack the Pneuma there.

Genshin Impact players should then use the Energy Transfer Terminal.

Warp to the right device and deactivate the blue device to turn it red. Afterward, aim your camera below the Ousia block to change your perspective once more and transfer the energy to the red device near the gate.

After that's done, exit the Energy Transfer Terminal. Now, open the gate. Grab the item next to the Clockwork Meka to be 1/2 done with "Retrieve the remaining anchors" in the Fontaine Research Institute Chronicles quest.

Defeating those foes allows you to open the nearby Precious Chest, so you might as well do that while you're here before moving on to the second part of "Retrieve the remaining anchors."
