Fontaine is the fifth region available inGenshin Impactpreceding Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Sumeru. Players are obviously looking forward to this France-inspired area, but HoYoverse exceeds everyone’s expectations by includingunderwater exploration inGenshin Impact. This significantly increases the explorable area players will get. For instance, unlike the Land of Thunder whose area is filled with empty sea, players have both overground, underground, and underwater areas all at the same time in Fontaine. In version 4.0, the overground area of Fontaine is not layered, so players can freely explore the land without worrying about underground caves and mazes. However, this is because the layered part exists underwater and players must learn to navigate not only horizontally but also vertically.
While exploring the underwater area of Fontaine, Travelers may come across conch-like devices that often have musical notes coming out of them. Upon coming close to this mechanism, players will get the option toActivate the Echoing ConchinGenshin Impact; here’s an explanation of what this device does.

How To Use The Echoing Conch in Genshin Impact
Using the EchoingConch inGenshin Impactis actually incredibly simple. After coming close to the device and pressing the button, the players’ camera will shift and there will be several sound waves in the area.These sound waves represent notable objects in the area. Travelers simply have toapproach the location and check out what’s there. People will find various items emitting these sound waves, but among them will be the object required to solve the Echoing Conch puzzle.
For instance, with the conch’s help, players can find Crystal Mechanisms behind an invisible wall or a gate that can be activated withBlubberbeast’s Sonar ability inGenshin Impact. Of course,not all Echoing Conch puzzle requires the help of Sonar Skill.Sometimes, players simply have to investigate some sparkling spot to get their reward.
Conch In Fontaine
These devices are said to be ancient tools used for various training. Considering Blubberbeasts are always in the vicinity of the gadget, it won’t be surprising if this description alludes to these sea lions-like creatures. Other than for training creatures and activating sound waves, conches in Fontaine can also be used for other purposes.
For instance, inaGenshin Impactquestwith the Melusine, players will learn that one giant conch can be used to make music. Meanwhile, in another mission, still, with a Melusine, a conch can be used to send signals, which allows Travelers to see a ghost ship in an attempt to understand what really happened to it.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
