Strange eel in Genshin impact – a special type of puzzle that can be found when exploring bodies of water Fontaine. The eel appears as a blue glow moving across the Great Lake floor. To solve such riddles, use abilities of xenochrome creatures.
In this article we will tell you in detail where all the strange eels are located in Fontaine and share ways to solve riddles with them.
What does a strange eel look like?
While exploring the waters of Fontaine, you can meet a strange eel - a blue creature that moves along the bottom of the reservoir in a certain direction. Creation is a type of riddle unique to the Hydro region that can earn valuable rewards.
What to do about Strange Acne
To solve puzzles with strange eels, you need to use the skills of Fontaine's xenochrome creatures. Most often, xenochrome jellyfish will be found near the places where the creatures live, but you can also use armored crabs, puffballs and razor rays.
If there is only one eel, then it is enough to use the ability on it to stop its movement. In the case where two strange eels live in the same place, you need to wait until both creatures are at the same level and then use the skill simultaneously on both.
