How to solve all Oracle Pillar picture puzzles in Genshin Impact – Narration Footnotes

In the Genshin Impact Simulanka World Quest called Narration Footnotes, you must help toy soldiers discover their family history by forming symbols using Oracle Pillars and Magic Threads. Here are all the patterns you need to follow to solve the puzzles.

How to complete the Oracle Pillar's picture in Genshin Impact – Narration Footnotes

I will explain the puzzle mechanics in the first puzzle, but you have to apply the same concept across all three while forming different shapes.

Puzzle #1

Upon starting the puzzle, the game will prompt you to interact with an object on the ground to slot in the Clockwork Key used to operate the Oracle Pillar. It will trigger a device to emerge. You need to hit the device using Normal Attacks a few times until the Oracle Pillars fully emerge from the ground. If you don't see the Pillars, attack the device a few more times!

You need to use Magic Threads to connect the Oracle Pillars to each other, forming the target shape. Use the special interact key (T for PC) to initiate the puzzle. Pay attention to the location of the symbol, which indicates the starting point of the connection. Go close to the Oracle Pillar you want to connect with the Pillar housing the symbol, then press the special interact key to connect the two. Do the same until the full shape is complete.

In the example above, the symbol is on the right, so I would stand close to the left Pillar and press the special interact key to connect the right and left Pillars together.

Refer to the image above for the target symbol you need to form for the first puzzle. Pay attention to the positions of the device and toy soldiers to ensure you're solving it at the same orientation.

Puzzle #2 & answers to door's questions

Before solving the second puzzle, you need to interact with a door that will ask some questions. These are all the answers:

Set the puzzle up similarly to the first—by hitting the device with Normal Attack until the Oracle Pillars all show up. Then use the Magic Threads to form the exact symbol pictured above. Use the position of the stairs as a reference for the image's orientation.

Puzzle #3

Set up the third puzzle like you did the first two. But this time, you need to break the stacks of crates around the area to reveal two hidden Oracle Pillars. Without them, you won't be able to form the required symbol.

Once you've revealed all Oracle Pillars, connect the Magic Threads to form the symbol pictured above to solve the puzzle.
