In Genshin Impact, Spiral Octopuses are part of the underwater fauna and elements of various puzzles in the Sea of Antiquity, located under Petrichor Island in the Nostoi region ( Fontaine). These creatures love to sing near Sweet Flowers, often fall into traps or offer to play, and for interacting with them you can get many valuable trophies and access to hydrocules.

In this guide we will explain where all the octopuses are located and how interact with them to receive rewards in the form of rich, precious or luxurious chests.
How to interact with Spiral Octopuses
< /p>
In the territory of ancient Remuria, Spiral octopuses are found in three types: regular and attacking, as well as blue and orange. The last two representatives are not averse to interacting with the Traveler:
- Blueusually you have to encourage them to act with the order “It’s time to go!”, and they often fall into traps/surrounded by aggressive animals or offer “Play together?”;
< li>Orangelike to circle around sea cucumbers and they are affected by the power of “symphony” (change to “T” for PC → E-key) – with a short press they stop, but with a long press they will move.
If the octopus is in the azure trap and sea creatures are crowding around him, to free him you will have to kill a crowd of underwater enemies.
Location of all Spiral Octopuses in the Sea of Ancient
On the map of ancient Remuria there are 18 Spiral Octopuses: 7 on the left half and 11 – on the right. Below we will look at how to get to each of them and get the accompanying rewards.
Octopuses No. 1,2
- Reward: two rich + 1 luxury chests.
Let's start with the left half of the Sea of Ancient: two octopuses can be found to the north above the Gates of Janus. One creature looks thoughtfully at a shell, while another is surrounded by aggressive animals. These octopuses are parts of a whole puzzle, the specific location and solution of which we described in a separate guide.
Octopus No. 3
- Reward: rich chest.
From the previous place, swim a little down to the southeast: on the corals, attached to another underwater rock, there is a cocoon with an octopus, surrounded by animals . Disperse the animals and the trap will open automatically. All that remains is to order the rescued “It’s time to go!“and watch how he swims up to the anemone and unlocks the reward. Read more about this and other places with Sweet-sounding flowers in another general guide (under point No. 5).
Octopuses No. 4-6
- Reward: precious chest.
Reach the hill under which “Port Anticus” (the closest teleport north of the Janus Gate) is located: there is a locked treasure chest surrounded by sea cucumbers. They need to be activated by resonance with the octopuses, which you will have to find first.
Swim to the echolusk and activate the shell to see all the hidden places in the area: the octopuses are in the ones shown in the first screenshot above. In any order, find the hidden creatures and send them “…perform!“. Please note that the octopus hiding in the gap to the west of the chest will stumble upon animals along the way – deal with them.
The discovered mollusks will independently swim to the sea cucumbers, after which they will begin to sing. The reward will open a moment after activating the resonance.
Octopus No. 7
- Reward: Rich Chest.
The seventh octopus needs to be rescued from under the rubble in the south of the left half of the fallen Remuria. Move to the southernmost teleport, turn the camera back and swim to the area to the left of the movement point.
Not far from the chest trap, near the wall, there is a destructible cobblestone and a couple of puzzled clams. Pick up the power of a xenochrome crab nearby and break the rubble, and then invite the rescued mollusk to go “…perform!” after the other two.
Octopus No. 8
- Reward: rich chest.
The remaining mollusks can be found on the right half of the Sea of Antiquity: one of them will offer to play “The Sea is Unsettled Once” against the Sweet-Sounding Flower growing in an underwater clearing in the northern half of the map. You can find out how to win this challenge in another guide (under point No. 11).
Octopuses No. 9-11
- Reward: two rich and 1 luxurious chests + hydrocul.
The 9-11 Octopuses are part of a puzzle with mechanical anglers guarding the reward barrier above the Court of Harmony. We discussed its solution in a separate guide.
Octopus No. 12
- Reward: rich chest.
The twelfth mollusk can be found to the north -west of the previous place, we mentioned it in the general guide to Sweet Flowers (under point No. 8).
Octopuses No. 13-15
- Reward: two rich + 1 luxurious chests.
You will meet three more blue octopuses on Capitol Hill, south of the castle. You can read about this place and the stages of completing the puzzle with three Sweet-sounding flowers in another guide.
Octopuses No. 16-18
- Reward: a rich chest.
Latest three orange clams swim behind the northern half of the Capitol, on the left side of the teleporter at the entrance to the Golden Castle. Find out in our separate guide (under point No. 15) how to solve the riddle with sea cucumbers growing near the last octopuses.
Thus, for finding all the Spiral Octopuses you will get:< /p>
- 90 primogems;
- 37 hydro seals;
- Various resources for leveling up heroes.
