How to Save the Hydro Eidolon from the Preprint in Genshin Impact

The Genshin Impact Secret Summer Paradise event runs from July 5, 2023, to August 16, 2023, bringing with it a limited-time area called the Veluriyam Mirage. In a secret paradise hidden inside a bottle, you can solve puzzles, ride the Choo-Choo Cart, open limited Chests, and get amazing rewards for your effort.

In the Event Quest called Zip Along (According to Safe Cart Operating Procedures), you must help save a Hydro Eidolon stuck inside a Preprint. It's the third Preprint puzzle in the Secret Summer Paradise's limited-time quest chain—here's how to solve it.

How to solve the Hydro Eidolon Preprint puzzle in Genshin Impact – Secret Summer Paradise event

Upon starting the Preprint puzzle, a crate will appear in front of the projection (pictured above). Interact with it to push it once, which will force the crate within the projection to move as well.

Once that's done, interact with the Streaming Projector to enter the world inside the Preprint. The controls inside are limited to jumping and interacting, which use the same buttons as the open world.

Follow the exact steps below to complete the puzzle:

1. Head right and interact with the Chest to obtain rewards.
2. Jump onto the crate, then onto the blue platform on the left. It acts as an elevator that will bring you to the upper level.
3. Head left to interact with the leftmost Chest to get rewards.
4. Jump onto the central platform, then jump down to the rightmost platform. Interact with the Chest on the right to get rewards.
5. Jump down toward the door, then interact with it to exit the Preprint.

Be careful: you must exit by interacting with the door, and not via the escape button on the upper right of the screen. Otherwise, your progress won't be saved. Completing the puzzle will allow you to progress with the Event Story and complete the Zip Along (According to Safe Cart Operating Procedures) quest.
