Genshin Impact has introduced exciting new exploration mechanics in its Natlan region, particularly highlighting the Monetoos. These are smaller and more elusive compared to Seelies, making them a unique challenge for players. With each new map expansion in the game, new variations of these creatures emerge, with the latest being the Matador Monetoos introduced in version 5.5.
This comprehensive guide will cover the locations and strategies for solving all Matador Monetoo puzzles across Genshin Impact.
Discovering Monetoos in Atocpan and Ancient Sacred Mountain: Genshin Impact 5.5
Strategies for Solving Matador Monetoo Puzzles
To successfully tackle the Matador Monetoo puzzles, players should utilize characters like Varesa, Iansan, or the newly introduced Saurian Tatankasaur. The key to solving these puzzles involves persistently hitting the Monetoos with these characters until they pause in a specific spot. Upon stopping, players must hit them twice more to unlock chests containing rewards.
