The path to singularity in Mysterious ore. To advance in the quest, you will have to complete various puzzles and confront automata.
In this guide, we'll show you how to start and complete the Path to the Singularity mission. Read on to learn how to use the energy transfer terminals, close all the valves, complete the puzzles and open all the sealed doors.
How to start the Path to Singularity quest
Travel to the northwest corner of the Kinetic Energy Institute area and follow the path leading to Kuzel's Workshop hidden in a mountain cave.
Go through the round entrance and move further to reach a room with an elevator. Pick up the energy Lynette.
Once you get inside the elevator, select "Activate lift". While descending into Kuzel's Workshop, you will hear an argument between two unknown people, after which the quest Path to the Singularity will begin.
Walkthrough of the Path to the Singularity quest in Genshin Impact
During the Path to the Singularity quest, you will have to explore Kuzel's Workshop and go through a series of tests.
Explore the mysterious building and talk to the man who is stymied
Move forward through the tunnel, after which you will find yourself on the Middle Floor of the workshop. As you approach the room with the mechanisms, someone in the cage will ask for help.
Approach the man in the cage and talk to him. During the dialogue it turns out that this is the owner of the workshop named Kuzel. The researcher has a disagreement with his partner and is trapped, so he will ask for help getting free.
Operate the Energy Transfer Terminal to open the cell
To save Kusel, you will need to transfer energy from the drive near the door to the one located near the cage:
- The applications "Activate" to the terminal by the cage to access the viewfinder.
- Take energy from the storage device located near the closed door.
- Raise the camera higher and connect to the viewfinder above the door to change the viewing angle.
- Aim at the storage tank near the cage and transfer the collected energy into it.
- Exit the viewfinder view and next to the cell select "Open".
However, the man is in no hurry to leave.
Team up with Paimon to open the cage
In the next conversation, you will learn from Kuzel that someone must remain in the cage, otherwise the trigger under it will be activated and everything will explode. When you switch places with the scientist, the door will close again, and the man himself will run away to check the malfunction and will not return.
An unknown voice will inform you that there was no explosive device, so you will have to get out of the cage with the help of Paimon, giving her commands. Use the following options in turn:
- "Try the terminal at the cage" – to the camera.
- "Activate the energy storage device next to the door" – after which you will take energy from the unnecessary mechanism.
- "Activate the energy storage device next to the cell" – due to which the cage will open.
To find Kuzel, move towards the open door where the man ran away. After the turn, walk a little more and a short cutscene will occur that will show a room with a bunch of large pipes.
Find a way to open the sealed door
The door in the room will be sealed, so you will have to find a way to open it. If you start going down, Paimon will notice a gas leak in the pipes, you can also read notes with “friendly advice”.
Close all the valves and clear the way
In total, there will be four points in the room with gas leaks in the pipes.
Go down to the very bottom and you will find a pipe with missing valve. Pick up the Pneuma energy block and use it on the Pneumusia storage box, then take the energy-filled drive in its place. Alternative: Hit the device with a skill Hydro Traveler.
Place the drive next to the closed cage to unlock the lock on it, open the door and pick up the missing valve.
Go back to the pipe with the gas leak and click "Install" found part. Turn the valve three timesto block it.
After this, move the drive from the cage to the red, unlocked terminal to activate it, and start the air flow - the remaining valves are located above.
Use the glider to climb to the very top and examine the walls of the pipe.
Near the exit from the tunnel you will find a valve, turn his twice.
The next couple of leaks will be on the east wall of the room at mid-height. Turn the right valve once и left twice so that the gas stops flowing, after which you can go to the terminal below the door and open it.
Once the age is clear, you have to clear the way and win Special Mech: Assault.
In front of the elevator, you will notice a mechanism with which, if necessary, you can call it from another floor. Follow the lift and activate it to go down below.
Move further along the corridor, which will lead to another room with a closed exit.
Find a way to open the sealed door
To open a sealed door, you need to rotate the pipe elements so that they become solid. Interact with first terminal and select in order:
- "Move" – the gear will lower to the rotated part of the pipe.
- "Rotate" – for the process of changing the position of an element.
- "Stop" – press when the piece of pipe takes a vertical position.
Then use second terminal. He rotates two pieces of pipe at once:
- "Move" left element to the pipe. "Rotate" both pieces until the left part is in a vertical position and the right part is in a horizontal position, then click "Stop".
- Command "Move" will separate the left element from the pipe. Next use "Rotate" until both pieces of pipe are horizontal, then press "Stop".
- "Move" the left pipe is to the right. "Rotate" both elements until they are equally rotated to a vertical position, then "Stop".
When all the pipes are connected, air flow will appear in the room. Climb up it and open the rich chest.
Proceed forward through the tunnel in Kuzel's Workshop and, once you've ed two Hydro Slimes, you'll enter an arena with new Purification Meks O-90 and I-330.
Defeat the robots and you'll get two. 2 cumulative energy storage and you will see a rich chest.
There is another sealed door ahead. Go down the stairs to the gears and pipes puzzle and go through it to advance. To solve the riddle, activate the terminal, use the commands and navigate by the left element:
- "Move" structure once so that the left gear is lowered towards the pipe.
- "Rotate" mechanisms until all three are aligned vertically, and "Stop".
- "Move" parts to their original position.
- "Rotate" again so that all three pipes are in a horizontal position. Do not forget "Stop".
- "Move" one last time so that all the structures are connected.
When you do everything correctly, a cutscene with running gears will play. Go back upstairs.
Go to the mechanism in front of the age and press "Clear the way", after which two will wake up special mechs. Defeat both waves of opponents to continue your journey.
When the age opens, move forward along the corridor to the elevator. Enter the elevator and use it to move to a new floor. Continue forward and you will come across two scientists.
In the dialogue, it turns out that in fact the criminal Cutro was called by the name of Kuzel and at the same time is the true owner of the workshop, conducting dangerous experiments. The second explorer, Bricol, was able to discover this place and get to it thanks to clues.
Defeat Cutro
At the end of the conversation with the scientists, a battle will take place against Cutro, the other side of the Kuzel. Two special technicians will also take part in it.
After the end of the battle, Bricol will inform you that you should come in person to the archives of the new Research Institute if you want to learn about Cutro’s work. The task will be completed, for which you will receive a separate reward and the achievement “Going into standby mode...”
In Kuzel's room you can pick up cumulative energy storage devices.
Read in a separate article all the conditions for opening luxurious chest in a cage.
Hidden continuation of the quest
On the next real day (server time) return to Kuzel's room and see Bricol standing in front of a table with research papers. The scientist will give out test to collect beacons against time.
Talk to Bricol and hear that the Institute instructed him to check whether the Workshop was suitable as a training ground for advanced training, so he returned here.
Help the researcher - to complete the test, collect all the simulated anchors in the building within the allotted time in 300 seconds.
Turn around the propeller clockwise and follow the fork to the west, where you will pick up first beacon.
Continue in the same direction and turn the corner to the room where the gas leak was repaired.
Jump down the room and you will see a beacon locked in a cage. Pick up the blue energy storage device and place it next to the grate, after which the lock will open and you can take second imitation anchor.
Follow the tunnel to the west and go down to the lower floor using the lift. If he is on another level, call him through a device nearby.
Once you find yourself in the space with gears, fly up the wind flow and pick up third imitation anchor on one of the pipes.
Climb even higher and go along the corridor past two small Hydro Slimes. Once in the room where the battle against two defective meks previously took place, go down the stairs in the middle of the room.
Take away fourth beacon in the lower room with gears, pipes, a terminal and an energy storage device.
When 4 mock anchors are received, the challenge is completed. Return to Bricol and receive the reward promised for your help.
What to do if Bricol does not appear (bug)
If Bricol is missing in the right place due to a bug, then follow these steps:
- In Kuzel's room, stand at the table with papers at the point where the scientist should appear.
- Exit the game and wait until the next real day.
- When you return to a new day according to server time, Bricol should spawn.

We hope our article helped you start and complete the Path to Singularity mission in Genshin Impact. If you have any questions about the process of solving puzzles or moving through ruins, then ask them at comments... Read about Genshin Impact walkthroughs in the appropriate section of the site.
I completed the main quest a long time ago, came to do the mini with Bricol and the door to the workshop is closed.. how is that? Everything is peeling off, I don’t understand how to open it…
It seems like it shouldn't be closed, but you can go through from the other side, from the underground teleport of the Underwater Road.
I can't figure it out... How do I get the achievement? This is the most important thing. Quest is complete. Additional quest with Bricol too. How do I get the achievement "Going into standby mode"
For some reason, at the step "Use the energy transfer terminal to open the cage" I have the terminal itself red on both sides, but for you it is immediately blue
The mission was completed a long time ago, and the door is closed where Bricol is
completed the hidden achievement. met the time limit. but didn't get the achievement :/
on the way to the final room there is a right turn to a large caphouse(?) I can’t find a walkthrough for this location at all
Hello. Perhaps what you mean is mysterious ore? Or is it a small corridor with a puzzle with jellyfish and doors?
I didn’t complete the whole quest at once, now in the place where there are 4 meks I can’t “clear the way.” That is, the task label points to the terminal, but you cannot interact with it. And all because I started solving a puzzle under the floor in this room and gave up. Now 2 pipes are connected, but the third is not and you cannot interact with the terminal. In short, this quest cannot be interrupted when you , now I can’t get into the last room with two scientists and a hydroculus.
Is there a working terminal nearby? does the terminal light up red or blue? try writing to technical
It helped to wait until the next day in the same location with meks and the terminal started working. Probably the same principle as with the Bricol bug that is given at the end of the article.
Glad it worked for you)
It would be cool if we collected all these mini-tasks like the continuation of this, a pie for Dr. Melusina, etc.
Has anyone figured out how Cutro ended up in the cage at the beginning of the quest? He couldn't lock himself in it, it seems.
he said that some guy was sitting there, he let him out and ended up in a cage himself
One of the interesting observations is a reference to Yevgeny Zamyatin’s novel “We”.
The names of the Meks O-90 and I-330 are the names of two female characters in the novel, and if you look at the scruffy records of the experiments near this site, you can see a list of all the names, including D-503, the main character of the novel. But at the same time, I-330’s name is not in these records, perhaps because at the end of the novel she was executed, while O-90 and D-503 remained alive.
I confirm that the scheme with exiting the game near Bricol works. All other methods didn’t help, I didn’t want to show up. And finally, the hidden quest is completed! Thank you :)
We're glad the method helped, and thanks for the comments)
uh, I wrote the same thing. DISCREMENATION!!1
I confirm that the “log out near his spawn and when the server is updated” method works. I checked it just before I left for work.
A minute of theory.
Spoilers alert!
In the room with meks O-90 and I-330 there is a note "Messy Experimental Notes". Simple reporting, but here is the content: the name of the series and [implantation of a sample into a neural network]. And as the quest progresses, we learn that we ourselves are candidates for samples. We add 1 and 1 and we get that most likely we are kicking not simple meks, but meks in which the brains of random people were “planted” and connected into a common network in the name of singularity.
Bricol doesn’t even think about showing up, I don’t know what other shamanic dances with a tambourine to try to get him out)
I'll keep you posted, day 6, when Bristol still doesn't show up...
Now there is information that this is a bug related to teleportation. You need to exit the game right at the table where he should appear, and then the next day according to server time - then Bricol should supposedly spawn. As soon as you see him, don’t move anywhere and test him.
It’s a pity that the quest is buggy, I’ve already come here 4 times and Bricol doesn’t appear
He came the next day, but I didn’t want to complete his assignment via phone. I think I’ll turn on the computer and do everything on the big screen. As a result, after a couple of hours I go into the game, but he’s not there. :WITH
Hello. Unfortunately, this happens, and judging by the appearance of Bricol, he is bugged. Try returning there from time to time or on a new day according to server time - you can craft a pocket teleporter in alchemy and place it next to Bricol so as not to run around a lot.
The test with Bricol appeared exactly 3 days later. Reading on his desk, rewinding time, leaving the game did not help.
Hidden continuation of the quest. I got bricolle after a server reset, the quest was ok
oh sorry, I didn’t see about the chest at the end)
Hello. The main thing is that we found it - maybe we can highlight this point in more detail. Happy farming)
How to open a luxurious chest that is in a cage?
Hidden continuation doesn't work😭
Hello. Yes, we are still figuring out its conditions, but it is possible that the test is buggy. For some, the NPC comes within a day, for others after three, for others it does not come at all.
