Chenyu Vale is the latest addition to the ever-expanding map of Teyvat, and it is filled with mysteries, puzzles, and chests. One puzzle north of Qiaoying Village involves a sleeping Automaton blocking a path, which is causing quite a bit of trouble for Genshin Impact players. To move the Automaton, players must utilize a Ruin Machine Core. Here is a complete guide on how to get a Ruin Machine Core in Chenyu Vale and use it in the game.
Ruin Machine Core Locations in Chenyu Vale
The Ruin Machine Core is located north of Qiaoying Village. Start by heading to the Teleport Waypoint near Qiaoying Village and then head north until you reach the area with three surrounding cliffs. Here, you will find the Ruin Machines. Defeat them to receive an Exquisite Chest, which will reward you with the Ruin Machine Core.
Using Ruin Machine Core in Chenyu Vale
After collecting the Ruin Machine Core, you’ll need to insert it into the Ruin Guard blocking the path in a nearby cave. Head south from where you defeated the Ruin Machines until you spot a cave on the right with the broken Ruin Guard. The presence of a couple of bandits around the cave serves as a good indicator to locate it.
Interact with the Ruin Guard, and you’ll see an option to place an item. Choose the Ruin Machine Core from your inventory. This action will repair the Ruin Guard and make it hostile. Defeat the Ruin Guard to unlock the hidden passage behind it. Fixing the Ruin Guard will also earn you the Non-Hidden Backup Energy Source achievement.
Inside the hidden cave, you’ll encounter more bandits and the Mountain Kang mini-boss. Defeat Mountain Kang and proceed further into the cave to find a caged Strange Merchant. Free the Strange Merchant, who will quickly depart from the cave. Unfortunately, the merchant doesn’t offer any rewards for being freed. However, you’ll discover two common chests and a precious chest inside the cave, providing valuable rewards.
