When exploring the northern half of the Forest of Blessings in the Simulanka temporary region in Genshin Impact, access to which opens with the Summer! Dragons? Fairy tale!”, you may meet a group of paper flying squirrels: these squirrels are guarding a luxurious chest, which they are ready to give for help in passing the test of the three mountains – a multi-stage puzzle.
In the guide we will tell you how to find and help young talking flying squirrels pass test of three mountains in the Forest of Blessings, and along the way – get a luxury, 2 rich and one regular chest.
How to get a luxury chest from flying squirrels in the Forest of Blessings: test of three mountains
Go to north of the Forest of Blessings, to an area where you can find one of the 15 Feathers of Fun (in a separate guide we marked it under number 14): in a clearing under a tree with blue foliage we overhear a conversation between flying squirrels who are instructing their young to pass the test of the three mountains.
Map with the location of the tests of three mountains
We can help fairy-tale creatures by solving puzzles with the direction of squirrel flight and clearing the area of monsters (for which several chests will be given separately). Let's take a look at all three challenge locations separately.
Challenge 1: Hilichurl Fight
The first challenge is located east of the clearing with a luxurious chest: from afar you can see a squirrel warning “It’s dangerous here!” Approach the challenge site and defeat a small group of hilichurls, then loot the normal chest.
Challenge 2: Timed Puzzle
The second challenge is located north of the main reward: several squirrels in the company of a paper llama await a test of flying through wreaths. To start the puzzle you need to use a new mechanic – point the camera at the yellow cone icon above the flying squirrel's head and press the “T” (PC) key. You will have exactly 90 seconds [1:30].
In the first section, hold down RMB and direct the squirrel through 3 wreaths to the flower ball.
Next, we climb the nearest rock (there will be a bluish smoke in front of you, which will increase the height of the jump) and stand so that the flying squirrel, when returning, will go through 3 more wreaths (the squirrel will not return until you press the basic attack key) .
Next, we repeat the same sequence of actions two more times:
- Send the flying squirrel in an arc until the next ball so that it catches;
- We jump to the next rock, using flickering vortices that increase the jump range;
- We return the creature to ourselves through a series of rings.
Upon completion, we will be given one rich chest.
Test 3: time puzzle
The third challenge is on a cliff under a tree with blue foliage: from the hill where the previous challenge ended, fly south (location shown in the first screenshot above). Here you will also have to adjust the flight path of the flying squirrels for a while (1:30).
The challenge has two parts: in the first you need to launch the animal through three arcs that periodically rise up and down.
In the second part, there will be four wreath tunnels, and flower balls will appear behind them: to speed up the execution, go to the right edge and launch the squirrel in an arc, aiming at the top ball towards the end. When the flying squirrel catches on to it, move to the nearest row and wait until it stops in front of the ball – all that remains is to return the squirrel back, catching all three wreaths along the way. Using the same pattern, you can finish with the remaining two rows. For the third test of the mountains they also give one rich chest.
Finally, go down and receive a luxurious chest as a thank you for your help. From it, as well as the three previous chests, you can get 22 primogems, 3 Fragments of Joy and random materials for leveling up heroes.
