If there's anything that baffles many new Travelers, it's the Bloatty Floatties—or the floating balloon-like flowers that mainly appear around Liyue. The green plants come with three buds that grow in size and float away from their stems whenever players interact with them.

How Bloatty Floatties Work

Bloatty Floatties follow a simple mechanic. Once you spot one, interact with it, and its three buds will separately float within the area. Switch to a bow character and aim at the floating buds to pop them. After all three are popped, a Chest will spawn!

If you forget to pop the buds, they usually stay in the air, waiting for you to pop them. So if you've been ignoring them for a while, try looking upward as you explore to catch them floating around.
