How to acquire the energy storage device and unlock the research terminal ahead in Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact's An Eye for an Eye World Quest, which falls under the Unfinished Comedy quest series, involves helping two prisoners make a daring escape from the Fortress of Meropide. After finding the Geode Mine Shaft, you must complete one more puzzle to finally find the exit.

In this segment, there are three Energy Devices, which need to be positioned beside their respective terminals. Everything needs to be done in an exact order, so I highly recommend you follow the walkthrough below step-by-step.

Acquire the energy storage device and unlock the research terminal ahead (3/3) – Genshin Impact An Eye for an Eye puzzle solution

First Device (1/3)

The starting point of the puzzle is at the entrance of the Geode Mine Shaft, where Caterpillar and Lanoire are standing. There are three Energy Devices (blue "lamps")—one on the left, one in front, and one on the right. You must first pick up the Energy Device on the left, which is hidden behind a Geode.

As soon as you pick up the Energy Device, the timer will start, and you need to find the corresponding terminal within the time limit.

Avoid the floating circles as they will reduce the timer by 30 seconds. Follow this exact path to find the terminal. Each step is associated with an image above, so you can reference them to make sure you're on the right path.

1. From Caterpillar and Lanoire's position, keep going forward until you see the first intersection. Make a sharp turn to the right.
2. You'll find yourself in another intersection. Make another sharp turn to the right.
3. At the third intersection, turn right again.
4. Follow the path forward to find the terminal.

Stand very closely beside the terminal, then use the special interaction button (see the bottom of the screen for the exact control for your device) to place the Energy Device beside the former. The terminal will turn blue, completing the challenge. Don't forget to interact with the terminal to Break Seal.

Second Device (2/3)

The second challenge is much easier than the first. Start by picking up the northern Energy Device, circled in the image above.

Follow the steps below to complete the challenge. Each step corresponds to an image above, so you can reference whether you're on the right track:

1. After picking up the Energy Device, continue to head north. There are three paths on the left. You must turn left on the central path, where the arrow is pointing.
2. You will see a crate up ahead, which determines you're on the right path. From there, simply turn right to find the terminal.

Like before, stand very close to the terminal, then use the special interaction button to place the Energy Device within range. Once the challenge is completed, interact with the terminal to Break Seal.

Third Device (3/3)

To begin the final challenge, pick up the last Energy Lamp on the right. Like before, make sure to avoid the floating circles as they will hit you with a 30-second reduction.

Follow the steps below to complete the challenge. Each step corresponds to an image above, so use them as references if you get lost:

1. After picking up the Energy Device, head north and enter the northeast path.
2. As soon as you enter the path, turn left.
3. Turn left one more time to find the terminal.

Following the same pattern as the previous challenges, place the Energy Device beside the terminal using the special interaction button. Once the challenge is completed, wait for Lanoire's dialogue at the bottom of the screen, then interact with the terminal to Break Seal. Doing so will officially complete the quest objective, and you can continue completing the rest of An Eye for an Eye.
