Genshin Impact: Rotate Pipe Puzzle Simulanka Guide

The main quest for the time-limited Simulanka region in Genshin Impact 4.8 will eventually require you to solve a pipe puzzle where you have to rotate the pipes just right.

A pair of the paper hamsters in the region need help with these pipes so that they can get a Magic Tonic. They’re tiny hamsters so it’s hard for them, but the able-bodied Traveler should have no trouble fixing these pipes right up!

In this guide, we’ll help you with your plumbing job so that you can solve this pipe puzzle with ease.

Rotate Pipe Puzzle in Simulanka | Genshin Impact 4.8 Guide

You can do the pipe rotate puzzle at the Hut of Blessings in the Simulanka region in Genshin Impact. It’s part of the “The Story Begins in a Forest Without Rain” main quest.

Once you go there, you’ll find a pair of hamsters arguing over an issue with some pipes. Apparently, the pipes aren’t placed properly, which is preventing them from obtaining a Magic Tonic. As usual, it’s up to your Traveler to set things right…

To start, face the pipes and you should notice there are three interactable spots. A cross-shaped pipe on the left, an L-shaped pipe in the middle, and another L-shaped pipe on the right side.

First of all, rotate both of the L-shaped pipes so that they’re properly connected to the rest of the pipes. It should look like the image above.

Then, rotate the cross-shaped pipe so that it’s connected to the larger set of pipes. Just like before, use the image above as a reference.

Once you’ve set things right, tell the hamster on the rightmost part of the pipes to “let the Magic Tonic flow!”. You should now notice a glowing light traveling through the pipes slowly. As soon as it starts to flow, go back to where the cross-shaped pipe is!

Wait for the Magic Tonic to go through the cross-shaped pipe once, then rotate it again so that it actually connects to the end of the pipeline. You have to time it right, but the Magic Tonic is slow so it should be pretty easy.

The objective will be completed as soon as the Magic Tonic leaves the pipes!
