How to help the toy figure escape danger in Genshin Impact – They Once Walked the Starry Sky

They Once Walked the Starry Sky is a Genshin Impact World Quest set in Simulanka. It introduces you to new characters: toy figures that serve the king of Constellation Meropole. A quest objective will require you to help a toy figure to escape danger—here's how to do it.

Help the toy figure escape danger puzzle solution in Genshin Impact

In this puzzle, your goal is to set up the photography venue so that the toy figure doesn't fall off the cliff. The problem is that the toy figure is quite clumsy—it doesn't know when to stop backing up. Start by paying attention to the Constellation clockwork device, where the arrow is pointing above.

Whenever you attack the Constellation clockwork device using a Normal Attack, it will change time to either force the scene to fast forward or go backward. When you stop attacking for two seconds, the toy figure will start to move without your intervention.

Simply attack the device a few times so that the red toy figure moves forward, then stop attacking it.

When the red toy figure has moved forward, approach the pillars behind it to trigger a second tutorial. It will allow you to use the special interact key (T on PC) on the pillar to cause a Magic String to form. By doing this, the red toy figure won't fall off the cliff when it continuously backs up. If the red toy figure falls before you set up the Magic String, don't worry as you can try again.
