While walking around the Mary-Ann Memorial Park in Genshin Impact, players may notice a quest mark near the Statue of the Seven. Walk down from the Statue to find researchers in the area that needs help.

Volunteering to help these researchers will start the Fontaine Research Institute Chronicles quest in Genshin Impact, which is the official way to access the Central Laboratory Ruins, a place where there are floating water blocks to explore. However, before reaching this point, players must first retrieve the remaining Anchors in Genshin Impact.

How To Retrieve The Remaining Anchors In Genshin Impact

Players must solve puzzles in two different places to retrieve the remaining Anchors in Genshin Impact. One is in the Institute Dormitories, while the other is in the Institute of Clockwork Applications.

Retrieve The Anchor In The Institute Dormitories

To retrieve the Anchor in Institute Dormitories in Genshin Impact, players must first find an Ousia Block at the end of the room. Then, head back to the entrance and hit the Pneuma-aligned Fixed Storage Device to activate the Research Terminal. Alternatively, players can also utilize Ousia Arkhe instead of picking up the Block. For this, the easiest option is Lynette’s Skill as she’s a free Genshin Impact character.

After the door opens, Pick Up the Energy Transfer Device and place it in front of the Research Terminal by the door.

Next, head deeper inside and activate the Energy Transfer Terminal, which will change the player's view to where the Terminal’s camera-like device is located. While in this camera view, aim the cross-hair at the activated (blue) Fixed Storage Device and press the action button to take the Energy. Then, aim the cross-hair at the red Energy Transfer Device and press the action button again to move the Energy into it.

Once the Energy Transfer Device is activated (blue in color), pick it up again, head inside, and then place it near the Research Terminal that closes the gate.

Next, head to the Institute Of Clockwork Applications to retrieve the second Anchor. After Nacker opens the door, walk inside to find two Mekas guarding the Energy Transfer Terminal. Defeat them to unseal it.

Before activating the Terminal, head to the corner of the room and destroy a rock boulder to reveal a Fixed Storage Device. Like before, use the Ousia Block on the wall to activate it and change its color from red to blue.

Afterward, take the Energy from the Fixed Storage Device, and aim the cross-hair at the Terminal under the Ousia Block to switch the camera again. Lastly, use the action button on the red Fixed Storage Device to activate the Research Terminal and allow players to open the door.

Head inside the gate and claim the final Anchor for the Fontaine Research Institute Chronicles quest in Genshin Impact.

Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.

You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.

Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...

MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?

ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.

Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.

BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.

SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.

BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.

JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.

As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
