Orobashi’s Legacy Part I: Sphere Puzzle
Go to the area indicated on the map and you will notice multiple electro pillars whose orientation and elevation can be adjusted. Solving this puzzle will remove the water sphere barrier in the middle of the area. Your goal is to adjust the pillars, starting from the main pillar so they connect and the last pillar can destroy the water sphere barrier in the middle. The starting position of the pillars can vary per player, but you can attack the main, glowing pillar to check if you have them properly aligned.
Getting the Pearl and Warding Stone
Once the sphere disappears, you will notice a purple stone or pearl floating in the middle of the area. This is the Pearl needed for the Ward. Fly towards it and pick it up. The Warding Stone is behind one of the enemies when you jump down. You can use your elemental sight to find the Warding Stone if you are having difficulty finding it.
Repairing the Ward
Go back to Narukami Pillar and submit the two items you just picked up. Submitting these two items will repair the pillar and clear up the thunderstorms in the area.

Orobashi’s Legacy Part II: Serpent’s Head
After completing the second quest, you need to go to the Serpent’s Head to find the next Ward that can help improve the weather in the area. Go to the area marked on the map and you will find a similar Narukami Pillar from before. Observe it and you will notice that it is missing parts as well. Use your elemental Site to find the missing parts and it will lead you to an area with electro pillars just like before.
Solving the 2nd Sphere Puzzle
You can find the main pillar in the middle of the cliff. Just like before, this pillar is glowing and emits a faint light from the ball at its center.

You can also use the thunder sakura bough and summon the Electroganum if you are by the water.
Getting the Warding Stone
The Warding Stone is in a different location this time. Go back to the Narukami Pillar and use your elemental sight to find the missing part. It will lead you to a Thunder Sakura Bough and a hole on the floor. Summon the Electroganum here and jump down the hole. Go straight to the area protected by the Electro barrier to unlock it and start the mechanism beside it.
Electro Cube Puzzle
If you use your Elemental Sight, it will lead you further down the stairs. You will see that it leads you to a locked area on the floor. On the other end of the hallway, you will find enemies and an Electro puzzle hiding behind them. Defeat the enemies and hit the electro cubes until all cubes have the same amount of petals. This will unlock the floor gate and at the end of the hall, you can get the Warding Stone.
Fixing the 2nd Ward
Hit the Electro pillar next to the Warding stone and use the Thunder Sakura Bough to get out of the cave. Go back to the Ward and submit the two items to clear up thunderstorms in the area.
Orobashi’s Legacy Part III: Jakotsu Mine
Before you can get to the Narukami Pillar, you have to solve the Sphere Puzzle first. The area where the Ward is currently being protected by a water sphere barrier. The main pillar is at the top of the cliff, and you want to follow this sequence when adjusting the orientation and elevation of the pillars.
Getting the Pearl
Go to the Narukami Pillar and interact with it to start a dialogue. Use your elemental sight and follow it to find an Electro barrier and an Electro Mage. You need to defeat the Mage to activate the Thunder Sakura Bough tree beside the barrier. Summon the Electroganum to get past the barrier. The Pearl is floating in the air and if you have characters like Keqing, Zhongli, or Venti, you can use them to get the pearl easier. Otherwise, you can climb the cliff and glide down to get the pearl.
Getting the Warding Stone
Go back to the Narukami Pillar and use your elemental sight again to find the correct path for the Warding Stone. Climb up the cliff and glide down, following your Elemental Sight. There is a Thunder Sakura Bough here and you need to summon the Electroganum so it can take you towards the upper cliff. You will notice an Electro barrier here and another Thunder Sakura Bough. Summon the Electroganum to get past the barrier and pick up the Warding Stone.
Repair the Narukami Pillar
Go back to the Narukami Pillar and submit the two items to repair the Ward. Repairing this ward will give you a cutscene and stop the heavy rain in the area. You will also get 40 Primogems as a reward.
Orobashi’s Legacy Part IV: Fort Mumei
After repairing the Ward, report back to Kaji near Fort Mumei. After talking to Kaji, the ruins in Fort Mumei will show up, and you will find several electro pillars once again. Below is the proper sequence for this puzzle. You can adjust the pillars while underwater. However, you should always take note of your Stamina while swimming so you do not drown.
Getting the Warding Stone and Pearl
After the barrier is removed, you will see a Maguu Kenki boss in front of the Narukami Pillar. Defeat the enemy and interact with the Narukami Pillar.

Once you pick up three Mysterious Conches, go to Takashi, which is standing on a hut nearby. Talk to him and he will let you open one of the three common chests behind him. One of these chests will contain the diagram for the bow. However, you cannot get the bow on the first try. You may need to try this for several days until you get the diagram.
