How to Go to the Ancient Castle?

Follow the Hydro Eidolon

Follow the Lone Hydro Eidolon as it starts moving. It will remove the illusion of mountains and stones to reveal a hidden passage. Keep following the Eidolon as it both narrates the story and shows you the way. 

As the Eidolon exits the passageway, it will enter the first mechanical owl’s line of sight. The gaze will turn it to stone.

Block the Owls’ Gaze 

To return the Hydro Eidolon to normal, you must block the owl’s gaze. See that crate a little distance from the bird? Approach it. You’ll see an option to push. Do so and the crate will move in its track to land right in front of the owl. 

This will block the Eidolon from the owl’s line of sight and return it to normal. The Eidolon will remove another illusion to reveal a Common chest and passageway. Keep moving and complete the rest of the owl puzzles in the same way. Here’s how to do each:

  • Second Puzzle: The second puzzle features two owls and one crate on a straight track. Position the crate so it blocks the first owl’s gaze first. Then push it to block the second owl’s gaze.
  • Third Puzzle: The third puzzle lacks a crate. Destroy the large boulder nearby to reveal a crate. Then push this in front of the owl’s gaze.
  • Fourth Puzzle: The fourth puzzle also lacks a crate, but has an empty bowl nearby. Approach the bowl and press “Feed”, selecting two berries. Place these berries in the bowl to redirect the owl’s gaze. Restock using the berry sapling nearby.
  • Fifth Puzzle: The fifth puzzle features two owls and two boxes on a unique track. You need to solve this in two parts. In part 1, push the inner box, then the outer box, and then the inner box again. In part 2, push the outer box, then the inner box, then the outer box again, and finally the inner box again.

Ride Choo-Choo Cart

Follow the Hydro Eidolon to an Exquisite chest. Then board the Choo-Choo cart right ahead. The cart will take you to the ancient castle.

Conclusion 

You need to follow the hydro eidolon, block the owls’ gaze, and ride the Choo-Choo cart to reach the ancient castle. We hope this guide on How to Go to the Ancient Castle in Genshin Impact helps. As always, happy gaming!
