Understanding the Three-Seal System
Wing of Keres operates on a three-stage puzzle system where you must free three Kuuhenki spirits trapped across the island. Each freed Kuuhenki removes one seal blocking access to the treasure chests. The final step requires riding a Moonlane through moon pillars to unlock everything simultaneously.
This action role-playing game continues introducing complex environmental puzzles that reward thorough exploration with premium rewards.
Seal 1: Defeat the Evil Eye of Blightseep
Location: Center of Wing of Keres island
Navigate to the island’s center where you’ll immediately notice Abyss corruption and a massive Evil Eye watching your every move. Nearby, you’ll find Glimmerfruit or Mandragora—collect these and use them to energize the Super Sharp Spirebloom. This action triggers a battle with the Evil Eye of Blightseep.
After defeating the corrupted enemy, the first Kuuhenki is freed, an Exquisite Chest spawns, and the first moon pillar activates. Don’t forget to grab the nearby Lunoculus hanging in the area before proceeding.
Seal 2: Connect the Mandragora Energy Puzzle
Location: Small peninsula on the western Pillar of Embla
This puzzle requires connecting a Solaris Core with Nycalyx using Mandragora plants—but there aren’t enough active Mandragoras initially visible to complete the connection. The missing magical plant is hidden beneath a structure protected by a Lunar Conflux Barrier.
Solution: Pull one nearby Mandragora using the special action key. Aim and throw it at the Lunar Conflux Barrier to dissolve it, revealing the hidden Mandragora. Once freed, position all Mandragoras a few steps apart to create an energy link connecting the two flowers. Successfully completing this puzzle frees the second Kuuhenki and rewards you with another Exquisite Chest.
Seal 3: Rescue the Caged Kuuhenki
Location: Small island northeast of Wing of Keres teleport waypoint
Teleport to the Wing of Keres waypoint and head northeast to discover a Hilichurl camp. Defeat all enemies including the Mitachurl guarding a cage containing the third Kuuhenki. After clearing the camp, open the Exquisite Chest and interact with the cage to free the final spirit. This summons a Moonlane leading back to the main island.
Final Step: Ride the Moonlane Circle
Once all three Kuuhenki are freed, they gather at the island’s center and create a complete Moonlane path. Ride this lunar path in a full circle through all the activated moon pillars. When you complete the circuit and land, all seals disappear simultaneously.
You can now claim your rewards: multiple Exquisite Chests, a Precious Chest, and the coveted Luxurious Chest containing approximately 10-40 Primogems, artifacts, Mora, Enhancement Ore, and potentially Irismoon Seals for unlocking Nod-Krai treasure vaults.
Hidden Bonus: Ancient Time Capsule
Behind the treasure chests, you’ll discover a time capsule buried by the ancient Hyperboreans. Opening it reveals a note detailing the Elysium Project and Seeds of Life—valuable lore for players invested in Genshin’s deeper narrative threads.

- Primogems: 40+ from chests plus 5 from achievement
- Irismoon Seals: Used for Nod-Krai vault access
- Mora, Enhancement Ore, Experience Books: Standard chest rewards

Pro Tips for Success
Bring a ranged character: The Evil Eye battle is easier with archers or catalysts who can maintain distance while dealing damage.
Don’t rush the Mandragora puzzle: Take time positioning each plant correctly—misplacement means starting over.
Clear the entire island: Additional Common Chests and collectibles are scattered around Wing of Keres beyond the main puzzle.
Use elemental sight: If you’re struggling to locate Mandragoras or other interactive elements, elemental sight highlights them clearly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I complete the Wing of Keres puzzle solo or do I need co-op help?
The puzzle is entirely designed for solo play and doesn’t require co-op assistance; all three seals can be removed by a single player through combat, environmental puzzles, and enemy clearing.
What happens if I leave Wing of Keres before completing all three seals?
Your progress is saved—any freed Kuuhenki remain freed, and activated moon pillars stay active, allowing you to return and continue where you left off without restarting the entire puzzle sequence.
