How to reach the Secret Source Automaton in Genshin Impact
You need to jump into the cavern found under the makeshift wooden bridge in Toyac Springs to reach the Secret Spring Automaton in Genshin Impact, on the beach just north of the boss location.
The easiest way to do this is to use the teleport waypoint north of the bridge and then glide across it. Then, once you’ve jumped into the cavern, simply follow the path south to get to the location of the Secret Spring Automaton. Don’t forget to unlock the teleport waypoint down here on your way!
How to beat the Secret Source Automaton in Genshin Impact
For the most part, the Secret Spring Automaton is a fairly standard boss that you need to damage in between dodging its attacks. However, when it stops and creates two orange constructs, you need to destroy the orbs on top of buildings to beat the Secret Source Automaton in Genshin Impact. This stuns the boss for a short time, allowing you to use your most powerful attacks against it.
To climb the orange constructs, you must use a character from the Children of Echoes tribe – such as Kachina or Xilonen – or use another character’s ability to climb them. For example, we created Zhongli’s Geo construct using his skill, then climbed the construct and jumped over it to reach the orbs.
The Wanderer’s flight ability, or other character builds like the Geo Traveler, could also work.
