Genshin Impact: All Move That Neck Alpaca Puzzles Guide

The time-limited Simulanka region in Genshin Impact has a series of puzzles known as “Move That Neck” Alpaca puzzles, all of them requiring you to help paper alpacas move a certain way.

You see, their necks are mighty stiff. The only thing that can help is a kindly Traveler with Magic Thread… which means you, of course!

In this guide, we’ll tell you where to find and complete all of these alpaca-related puzzles.

Poet on High

This will be the first of our “Move That Neck” Alpaca puzzles in Genshin Impact 4.8. You can start it at the top of a mountain in the central-western part of the Forest of Blessings in Simulanka.

Once you climb to the top, you will find an alpaca known as the “Poet on High”. Its neck is stiff and it requires your help to start moving it in certain directions!

First, it will say that it needs to nod in acknowledgment to the Rainsong Pond. Grab the Magic Thread on the alpaca’s tail and move to the side until the alpaca faces toward the southeast, like in the image above.

Then, it will need to nod in acknowledgment to The Kingdom of Breezes and Bells. Just like before, use the Magic Thread to rotate the alpaca. This time, help it face toward the north part of the Forest of Blessings, like in the image above. Use the large trees with purple leaves as a landmark.

Lastly, you need to help the alpaca nod in acknowledgment to the Constellation Metropole. Rotate the alpaca like before until it faces toward the northwest. You should be able to recognize the Constellation Metropole from afar, as it looks like a large castle. That said, the alpaca is pretty lenient with what counts for this.

After that last one, the alpaca will be satisfied and will give you a Precious Chest as your reward.

Speaking of chests, it’s a good idea to hunt down all of the Luxurious Chests in the Forest of Blessings as well. Get them while you can, since Simulanka is only available during the Summer event this year!

Citrus the Alpaca

This puzzle can be started in the location above as part of the “The Story Begins in a Forest Without Rain” main quest.

Approach there to see a paper alpaca named Citrus talking with Forest Elder Almond, a hamster. Apparently, Citrus isn’t feeling too good and is unable to help Almond with reopening the Calligraphy Tavern. Thankfully, you’re here to help!

To help this pair of forest dwellers, you have to get behind Citrus and pull her tail. While grabbing it, move to the left and right to make her rotate in place. Move toward and away from Citrus to make her lower or raise her neck, respectively.

Your goal here is to move Citrus so that her head is directly in front of any hamsters holding fruit. Citrus will grab the fruit with her mouth when you position her properly.

While Citrus is holding the fruit, rotate her toward the barrel with a siphon on the right. She’ll drop the fruit into the siphon, and then a new set of hamsters will appear!

Repeat the process a couple of times and you’ll complete the puzzle. Make sure to open up the chest and claim your rewards before you proceed to the next objective!

Picking the Bulle Fruit

The last of all the “Move That Neck” Alpaca puzzles that are currently available in Genshin Impact 4.8. You can start it by visiting a cave in the northwestern part of the Forest of Blessings in Simulanka, which is marked above.

This works pretty much the same as when you were helping Citrus the Alpaca before, but with one catch: you should only pick the Bulle Fruits.

Bulle Fruits, as you can see in the image above, are large orange fruits with a green stem. They look somewhat like smaller pumpkins, if we were to compare them to real-life plants. Make sure to move the alpaca so that it only grabs these fruits, ignoring the smaller yellow berries!

Other than that, this is the same as with Citrus before. Just grab the Bulle Fruits and drop them into the crate with a siphon until the alpaca and hamsters are satisfied. You’ll get a Precious Chest as your reward for this puzzle.

So, there you have it, that’s all of the “Move That Neck” Alpaca puzzles currently available in Genshin Impact 4.8. That said, there are still a few more puzzles related to alpacas that you can complete in Simulanka. Check out our guide for all of Simulanka’s alpaca puzzles to know more!
