Recover the Condensing Components
For this quest, you’ll have to recover 4 condensing components. There will be a couple puzzles consisting of bubbles including a mechanic called Transformed “Allogravity-Condensed Water Body.” So, I’ll show you detailed instructions on how you’ll be able to get all of them.
Condensing Component #1
First, make your way down to this broken stone bridge as shown in the image below. Afteward, follow the path onto the waypoint. You’ll then come across a big water cube, which is the condensing component acting up.
To proceed, jump onto the glowing bubble within the area. After popping a bubble, another one will spawn. You’ll simply have to go through all of them until you reach the last one.
Now, to make it easier for you, here’s the pattern on how you should approach each bubble (starting from the very first one, follow the number):
NOTE: Be aware and look on your surroundings on where the next bubble will be spawning.
- Simply walk through it.
- For this one, you’ll have to jump and glide. You’ll see it floating just in front of you.
- For this bubble, simply walk into the platform.
- Continue through the platforms, jump on the air current and land on this bubble.
- A pathway towards the next one will spawn, simply walk this one.
- Then, an air current will spawn. Use it to reach this bubble.
- Next, use the air current to move upwards toward a ring. Go through the ring to reach it.
- This one is right next to Bubble 7.
- Look around you and find where it’s located. Simply go down to reach this bubble.
- Then, look behind you and you’ll see this bubble. The air current will be gone from this point up until Bubble 13.
- Jump down and glide for this one.
- Again, jump down and glide.
- As mentioned before, air current will spawn again. Go up to reach this bubble.
- Once that’s done, a ring will open up. Click Enter to proceed.
From here, you’ll enter a Transformed “Allogravity-Condensed Water Body”, where you basically drown after a time limit displayed above your health bar. Now, you’ll have to find the condensing component before you run out of time.
For its location, simply turn around and look for something dark and glowing in the distance. After successfully recovering it, the water will return to normal, and you won’t drown anymore. Make your way back to the surface for the next condensing component.
Condensing Component #2
Next, make your way to this condensing component. Make your way back to the other side of the bridge. Then, jump down and glide to reach the location.
Once you’ve arrived at the condensing component’s location, you’ll see a bubble it the middle of the surface. Pop it and then 2 more bubbles will spawn.
Now, proceed to pop the bubbles and you’ll see the others spawn from far away. In order to successfully pop all of them, you must use a ranged character like Venti.
Once that’s done, another bubble will appear. Popping this one will spawn a flight of stairs. Follow it until you reach the water area.
Then, find the ring and interact with it to Enter the Transformed “Allogravity-Condensed Water Body“.
For this one, you can simply find the condensing component’s location by looking slightly upward and just ahead of your current position.
Condensing Component #3
For this condensing component, first teleport to the Central Laboratory Ruins Waypoint.
From here, jump down, glide and make your way towards the 3rd condensing component.
From a distance, you’ll see the bubble placed on top of a pole. Make sure to land on it and Enter the ring when it spawns.
Just a heads up, in exchange for the easy entrance to this Transformed “Allogravity-Condensed Water Body“, there will be a puzzle before you reach the condensing component.
Upon arriving at the location, you’ll see the condensing component up close. However, you won’t be able to reach it yet.
First, look around you and reach the bubble. This will lead you to platforms outside of the Transformed “Allogravity-Condensed Water Body“. Follow the path until you reach a dead-end. Look above you and you’ll see another bubble.
In order to reach it, go back inside the Transformed “Allogravity-Condensed Water Body“ and swim your way into the bubble.
Afterward, another bubble will spawn as well as platforms. Follow the path until you reach the third bubble to spawn. After popping the last one, you’ll notice that you’ll be enclosed.
Make your way back to the Transformed “Allogravity-Condensed Water Body“. Then, look around you for the bubble, which will lead you outside again. For the next bubble, simply look to your left and jump down the platform.
This will then open up your way towards the condensing component. Go back inside the Transformed “Allogravity-Condensed Water Body” and pick up the condensing component located just in front of you.
Condensing Component #4
Now, for the last condensing component, once again teleport to the Central Laboratory Ruins Waypoint.
After arriving, look behind from where you jumped from for Condensing Component #3. You’ll end up in a ruins-type of location.
From here, make your way to this point shown in the image below. Then, jump and glide down.
From here, the placement of the bubbles will be pretty straight-forward. Simply look around you and do 360 until you spot them.
The only difference from the other condensing components is you’ll be fighting Blue Slimes after popping bubbles located on the large blue cubes.
After a couple rounds of fighting them, you’ll then come across the last bubble which will be located on the end of a pathway. Pop it and once again, a ring will spawn. Simply Enter to reach the Transformed “Allogravity-Condensed Water Body”.
After entering the Transformed “Allogravity-Condensed Water Body”, do a 360 and look around you for the condensing component. If you still don’t end up seeing it, look for a patch of plants as it will be located close to them.
And that’s how you recover all 4 condensing components in Genshin Impact. Were you able to get them all? If you have questions or concerns, feel free to leave them in the comments section below.
