The Last Day of Remuria is a Genshin Impact World Quest in the Canticles of Harmony: Second Movement – Prisoner in Shackles series, which takes place in an underwater region hidden within Petrichor. One of the main goals of the quest is to break the chains that bind Scylla, who was subdued in the Sea of Past Ages.
Break the chains that bind Scylla in Genshin Impact – The Last Day of Remuria puzzle solution
There are three “chains” that bind the whale-like dragon, Scylla, but the chains look more like glowing lines that direct you to three areas within the Sea of Past Ages. Your goal is to follow the chains to each area and solve three puzzles to complete the goal. Although they can be completed in any order, I recommend following the order below to avoid potential bugs.
Chain #1 (battle)
Before starting, I suggest taking a combat ready team with a Geo shield breaker because the golems in Petrichor have Geo shields. When you're ready, follow the first chain to the southern part of the Sea of Bygone Ages, into the cave located in the circled area above. Inside the cave, you will encounter three golems. Defeat them to trigger a dialogue.
Once the dialog is complete, use the special interact button to switch to symphonic mode, so press and hold the Elemental Ability button in front of the tower (as in the picture above) to release a sound wave. Doing so will trigger a small cutscene where the chain is released by Scylla. If this does not happen, go closer to the tower and try again. Don't forget to claim the Exquisite Chest Reward that appears later.

Chain #2 (trust dialogue)
Follow the chain of Scylla to the northwestern section of the Sea of Bygone Ages, which will lead you to a small land area called Portus Anticus. Approach the guards to trigger a dialogue. Your goal is to gain the Leader's trust so they leave the area. Answer with the following:
- The Sebastos do not allow the harm of innocent people.
- You don't get the tune though.
- Phobos' silence means rejection.
The guards will leave the area immediately. Once they are gone, a a bright spot will appear next to the sword on the rock. Interact with the glowing spot to dig up a Delicate Chest with rewards.
Additionally, since the guards are gone, you can now break the chain binding Scylla. Climb the nearby cliff and approach the tower pictured above. As before, use the special interaction button to switch to symphony mode, then press and hold the Elemental Ability button to release the chain. A cutscene will trigger to signify completion.

Chain #3 (symphonic puzzle)
Follow the final chain towards the Hortus Euergetis, located east of the Sea of Bygone Ages. You'll find a small clearing with Washer Octopuses circling glowing flowers. Each Octopus is surrounded by a barrier that can resonate with the flower-shaped anemone. Your goal is to wait for each Octopus barrier to encapsulate all the flowers around it, then use the sonic wave to lock it in place.
There are four Octopuses in the area, so approach them one by one in any order. Let the Octopus float freely until its barrier encapsulates all nearby flowers, as in the image above. As soon as this happens, switch to symphony mode and use the Elemental Ability button to release a shockwave that will lock the Octopus in place. It should stop moving at this point.
The task is successful only if the symbol above the Octopus changes from musical note to quarter note rest. If it doesn't change, the Octopus will keep moving. Don't worry, because you can keep trying until it works—closing the distance helps.
Do the same for all four Octopuses so they resonate with all the anemones/flowers. Doing so will trigger a quick cutscene, allowing you to continue with the chain break.
Approach the top of the tower, switch to symphony mode, and press and hold to unleash a shockwave. This time, a dream sequence will trigger. When it's done, press and hold to unleash another shockwave to trigger a cutscene where Scylla is finally freed. Don't forget to claim your Precious Box reward.
