Stabilizers in Genshin impact – special devices in Fontaine, whose stability needs to be restored. After activating the mechanism, a ring begins to move along it, and parts of the indicator light up blue, helping to determine the moment to strike the structure. These devices are often associated with puzzles with rewards in the Hydro region, and several of them are associated with world quests.
In this article we will tell you where to find and how to solve all the puzzles with stabilizers in Fontaine and share tips on interacting with the devices. Read on to learn how to activate the mechanisms and complete all stabilization tests.
What is a stabilizer in Fontaine
Stabilizers are unique to Fontaine. They look like small pillars with a ring around the base. When the stabilizer is activated, the ring begins to move up and down, and special control zones light up on the pillar itself. If the mechanism glows red, it means it will have to be energized to turn it on.
How does the stabilizer work in Genshin Impact?
Once the stabilizer is activated, the ring around the base will begin to move from bottom to top and back again at different rates. The top, middle and bottom sections of the pole will alternately light up blue. When the ring is in the area of the luminous zone, you need to hit the stabilizer.
When interacting with devices, first of all try to give preference to characters with one-handed sword, since they attack control zones faster. For example, suitable Traveler и Kaeya.
