Updated on July 9, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah: While exploring the edges of Dragonspine, specifically the western side, players will come across multiple pressure plates scattered around. That’s because you need to figure out the correct order to stand on them if you wish to solve the puzzle and get the rewards. However, Dragonspine is full of dangerous enemies and will cause some Sheer Cold status effect, so make sure to explore with an appropriate team that includes at least one Pyro character.
How To Solve The Dragonspine Pressure Plate Puzzle In Genshin Impact
To solve the Dragonspine pressure plate puzzle in Genshin Impact, players must activate four consecutive pressure plates of the same symbol and then step on the remaining four. The challenge isn’t given to players as part of any quests or tasks relating to the Frostbearing Tree, so it may be hard to originally discover, but thankfully, it’s simple to solve.
Players who venture over to the western cape of Genshin Impact‘s Dragonspine, just east of the map’s “Sal Terrae” text, will discover a series of old plates on the ground just beside a strange stone wall. Upon closer inspection, you will find that each of the plates bears one of two symbols, each of which is depicted four different times on the wall. This holds the key to the pressure plate puzzle solution.
Before attempting to solve the puzzle in Genshin Impact, one of the pressure plates is encased in ice, so the puzzle isn’t totally accessible until this is remedied. There’s some conveniently placed Scarlet Quartz that will help thaw the special ice, and after that travelers should be all set to solve the puzzle.
When you step on a pressure plate, its corresponding “mark” on the wall will illuminate. This can be used as a reference guide while performing the task. Players should simply pick a pressure plate, and then be sure to only step on the three other pressure plates sharing the same symbol, before stepping on any of the remaining plates. It takes a few seconds for the plate to become active, so wait until the plate glows to step off of it.
Once the puzzle has been completed, travelers will be rewarded with not only a 
Crimson Agate, but also a Luxurious Chest containing some valuable materials, like 
Hero’s Wit.
