It’s pretty normal for Genshin Impact to throw lots of puzzles and quests which you should complete to progress.
One of the puzzles in the game involves the use of the Kory Drum to complete a quest objective called “Perform according to the drum score“.
There are a total of 5 Kory drums for this one, and they all are located on the Hills of Barsom north of the Realms of Farakhkert in the Sumeru Desert.
If you want to learn how to solve this puzzle, this guide is for you.
How to Solve the Perform According to the Drum Puzzle in Genshin Impact
Every Kory drum has its move sequence, and we will show you the sequences of all 5 Kory drums.
The move sequences are split into three moves: Normal Attack, Plunging Attack, and Pausing. You have to maneuver between these three styles to complete the puzzle.
Basically, these are the sequences for each drum:
Hydro Drum – Normal Attack, Plunging Attack, Pause, Plunging Attack
Dendro Drum – Normal Attack, Normal Attack, Normal Attack, Plunging Attack
Pyro Drum – Normal Attack, Normal Attack, Normal Attack, Plunging Attack
Electro Drum – Normal Attack, Pause, Normal Attack, Plunging Attack
Cryo Drum – Normal Attack, Pause, Normal Attack, Plunging Attack
How to Perform the Move Sequence
When you go to each of the Kory Drum trees, you’ll notice symbols when you press the “Check Drum Score” option.
The leaves on the scores indicate what type of attack you need to perform. You simply have to follow the sequence from left to right.
When you are attacking, there is a 2-second interval between each attack. Make sure you wait 2 seconds before proceeding with the next attack, or else your move will not register.
The three leaves have pretty similar symbols, so make sure you watch the leaves properly when they flash in front of your screen. Hit the right moves to complete the puzzle.
As long as you keep this in mind, you should then be able to complete the puzzle and complete the objective.
