Wuthering Waves: How to solve Magnetic Cube puzzles

The Magnetic Cube puzzles are one of the many open-world puzzles that will reward you with treasure chests containing valuable items and currency in exchange for a bit of logic and spatial awareness. In the case of the Magnetic Cube puzzle, you will probably face your very first one to the northwest of Jinzhou city, right next to the Hunaglong-Central Plains Resonance Beacon.

The puzzle is relatively simple, although it will certainly get more complex while exploring every inch of the world. This puzzle is effectively the classic “push the big block across the room until you press the switch on the floor” we have all dreaded from the Zelda franchise.

Instead of being ice cubes, these cubes stand above magnetic platforms that will stop their momentum, and you will need to hit one of their flat faces to determine their direction.

The goal is to get the cube to stand on top of the final blue-shining platform so that the treasure chest unlocks. If the cube falls off the board, then it will start all over. So, when you select a direction, be aware of where the cube will end up.

Not only that but there are special platforms in more intricate versions of the puzzle that will teleport your cube, allowing it to position itself on otherwise inaccessible spots on the board that will otherwise be impossible to get to by mere hitting.

And that’s pretty much everything you need to know about the Magnetic Cube puzzle! Contrary to challenges such as the Hover Target, you will have as much time as you need to complete this, so don’t rush in and hit the cube without having analyzed the board previously. You can certainly force this puzzle to have a “trial and error” type of approach, but they shouldn’t take you long to dominate.
