All puzzle solutions & Chest locations in the Court of Desolation – Genshin Impact Cyno Story Quest Domain

Before entering the Court of Desolation, make sure to prepare a battle-ready team, as you need to defeat an array of enemies inside. You'll be able to use Cyno as a trial character throughout the Domain. Follow the steps below carefully to ensure you get all Chests, as it's impossible to re-enter the Domain after completing it.

Upon entering the Court of Desolation, head straight ahead to find a Primal Construct beside a locked Chest. Defeat the enemy to unlock the Exquisite Chest for you to loot. Then keep following the path forward until you see two Scorpions, which you must defeat to unlock the mechanism in the next room. Interact with the mechanism once to prompt a cutscene of the passageway rotating.
