How to solve Evermotion Mechanical Painting Sumeru I in Genshin Impact

The Duel! The Summoners' Summit! event in Genshin Impact runs from May 25, 2023, to June 19, 2023, taking the Traveler and Paimon around Teyvat to experience the King of Invokations Grand Prix. During the event, you can take part in a plethora of mini-games, including the Evermotion Mechanical Painting: Invoker. I found this to be a little trickier than the earlier rendition of Felix Yogue's Evermotion Mechanical Painting, but it's still a fun puzzle nonetheless. Here's how to solve it.

How to unlock Evermotion Mechanical Painting: Sumeru I in Genshin Impact

To unlock the Evermotion Mechanical Painting: Invoker mini-game in Inazuma, you need to complete the final Event Quest called Culminate!

In addition, you also need to complete all Evermotion Mechanical Painting puzzles in Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma, in the exact order below:

Once you've done all of the above, head to the King of Invokations competition venue in Port Ormos to begin solving puzzles in the region.

Interact with the Evermotion Mechanical Painting: Sumeru I display in Port Ormos to begin the puzzle. Upon starting, select Surface I and click on the Swap Surfaces button on the right of the screen.

Skip Surface III as it's already positioned correctly. Instead, jump directly to Gear Column 1 and select a Large Gear. Reference the image above for how the puzzle should look at this point.

You can skip Gear Column 3, as it's already in the correct position. Switch to Gear Column 4 and slot a Medium Gear into place. Reference the image above for how the puzzle should look at this point.
