The Simulanka update for Genshin Impact brings with it a brand new flying squirrel puzzle to the game. These puzzles can be found all around the new map, and completing them can get you some amazing rewards.
We will be looking at the solution for every flying squirrel puzzle found in the Forest of Blessings.
All Flying Squirrels Aerial Adventure Puzzles Day 1 Forest of Blessings Guide
There are a total of 8 Flying Squirrel Aerial Adventure puzzles in the Forest of Blessings. Our guide will look at where each puzzle can be found, and the solution to each puzzle.
The map above shows the location for the first Flying Squirrel Aerial Adventure puzzle. You can start the puzzle by walking up to the squirrels found at this location.
All of the flying squirrel puzzles work pretty similarly. You are required to navigate a flying squirrel through a bunch of garlands to activate a flower.
As soon as you start the puzzle, you will see a bunch of garlands in front of you with a fan-like flower at the end. Throw the squirrel through the garlands and hit the fan in the end to activate it.
Once you do that, another series of garlands will spawn a little to the left. This time though, instead of a fan-like flower, you will need to hit a yellow flower.
After hitting that flower with the squirrel, you will need to recall the squirrel through another series of garlands. These garlands can be seen in the image above. You can recall squirrels the same way you threw them.
Once that is done, the puzzle will be complete and you will be able to claim your reward. Each puzzle you complete will reward you at the end, so make sure you complete all of them.
Puzzle #2
For the second puzzle, you will need to head to the location marked on the map above.
Once you start the puzzle, you will see a series of garlands you need to fly the squirrel through. Unlike the previous garlands, there is nothing at the end here, so all you need to do is go through all the garlands.
Once that is done, a yellow flower will spawn in front of you. You need to hit the flower with the flying squirrel to progress the puzzle.
Next, recall the flying squirrel through the moving garland seen in the image above. As this garland will be constantly moving, you will need to recall the squirrel when the garland perfectly lines up between you and the squirrel.
Once that is done, another series of garlands will spawn in front of you. There will be a yellow flower at the end of the garlands this time, so make sure you hit that.
You will then need to recall the squirrel through the series of garlands seen in the image above.
Puzzle #3
The third Flying Squirrel Aerial Adventure puzzle can be found at the location marked on the map above.
For the first series of garlands, there will be no flower at the end.
You will need to hit a fan-like flower at the end of the second series of garlands. This can be seen in the image above.
Once that is done, the series of garlands with the yellow flower at the end will spawn.
You can then finish off the puzzle by recalling the flying squirrel through the series of garlands shown in the image above.
Puzzle #4
You can find the fourth puzzle in front of the large origami tree shown on the map above.
This puzzle will be a bit different than the ones listed so far, as the garlands that spawn when you start the puzzle are not lined up. To align them, you will need to use the fan-like flowers given to you. There are 2 fan flowers that you need to activate here and both can be seen in the image above. Both of the flowers are also numbered, indicating which one you need to activate first and which second.
Once the garlands are lined up, you can then send the flying squirrel through them to hit the yellow flower at the end.
Finish the puzzle by recalling the squirrel through the last series of garlands.
Puzzle #5
For the fifth flying squirrel puzzle, you will need to head on over to the location marked on the map above.
This puzzle is different from the rest of the puzzles, as you will need to complete the full puzzle within the allocated time period. You will have a total of 120 seconds to complete the puzzle. The image above shows the first series of garlands you need to fly the squirrel through.
You will then need to make your way forward up the cliff to recall the squirrel through the second series of garlands.
The image above shows the next set of garlands you need to fly the squirrel through to hit the flower.
Recall the squirrel from the spot shown in the image above.
The next series of garlands in the puzzle.
To retrieve your squirrel through the garlands shown in the image above, you will need to jump before pressing the recall button. Recall the squirrel while your character is in the air.
The last flower that you need to hit through a series of garlands.
You can then end the puzzle by recalling the squirrel through the final series of garlands. The whole puzzle will lead you in a circle, and the final spot from where you need to recall the garland is the same as the spot where you started the puzzle.
Puzzle #6/Puzzle #7
The image above shows the location of both the sixth and the seventh flying squirrel challenge.
When you get to the marked location, you will find a flying squirrel on top of a locked chest with a bunch of other flying squirrels surrounding the chest. To access this chest, you will need to complete the trials of the three high mountains. The trials in this case are the sixth and seven puzzles.
Puzzle #6
To get to the sixth puzzle, make your way to the squirrels next to the piñata seen in the image above.
Like the previous puzzle, this one must also be completed within a certain time. You will have just 90 seconds to complete the whole puzzle. The image above shows the first series of garlands you will need to fly the squirrel through.
After throwing the squirrel, use the springs to jump to the platform above. From there, recall the squirrel through the series of garlands in front of you.
As soon as you recall the squirrel, another series of garlands will spawn in front of you.
Again, use the spring to go to the next platform and recall the squirrel from there.
After recalling the squirrel, throw it through the next series of garlands seen in the image above.
Make your way to the last platform on top of the mountain and recall the squirrel from there to make it pass through the last series of garlands.
Puzzle #7
Once you’ve completed the sixth puzzle, make your way to the location marked in the image above to start the seventh puzzle. You can use your glider to get there.
Like the previous puzzle, you will have just 90 seconds to complete the puzzle. In terms of what you have to do, this is the most unique flying squirrel puzzle as you will have 12 garlands in front of you, and you can throw the squirrels through them in any order you like. The garlands are also going to be moving, adding to the difficulty of the puzzle.
Once you’ve thrown the squirrel through all the garlands, 12 more garlands will spawn.
After you’ve completed both puzzles, head on over to the chest with the squirrel on top of it for your reward.
Puzzle #8
The image above shows the location of the final flying squirrel puzzle.
The eighth puzzle is another time-sensitive puzzle, and you will have just 55 seconds to complete the whole puzzle. When you start the puzzle, eight garlands will spawn in front of you. Clear these garlands to progress the puzzle.
Once the first 6 are done, 6 more will spawn at the same location.
After you’ve cleared the second set of garlands, 8 more garlands will spawn in front of you. This is the last set of garlands, and throwing your squirrel through all 20 garlands will mean you’ve completed the puzzle.
