Wuthering Waves treasure chests feature all kinds of puzzles for unlocking them, from peculiar training dummy pillars to moving around mysterious repeaters to activate light block mechanisms. The Encryption Block puzzle is an example, requiring you to unlock a specific ability.

Solving the Encryption Block puzzle requires using the Levitator ability to move the Key Repeater pillars onto the blocks surrounding the treasure chest. Doing this causes the blocks to light up, and your objective is to get every block to emit light. Once each Encryption Block emits light, the chest will unlock, allowing you to claim its rewards.

Youll know youre looking at an Encryption Block puzzle when you see spiked pillars and chiseled stone panels on the ground surrounding a locked chest. Unlike other puzzles, you can levitate the pillars and move them onto the blocks, allowing you to see which panels will emit light when you place the pillar.

Once you place each pillar on the Encryption Blocks, youll unlock the chest and claim its reward. Typically, locked treasure chest rewards include Astrite, EXP potions, or character ascension materials.

If you encounter one of these puzzles before unlocking levitation, youll first have to progress far enough into the main story to visit the Jinzhou city hall. Here, youll meet with Sanhua and learn more about your current situation before venturing off to the next area. Before leaving, though, Sanhua will provide you with multiple character abilities, including levitation.
