==Gameplay Notes==
* The order of the mechanisms to activate for the final puzzle is based on the placement of the torches around the mechanism.
** The smaller 3×3 pattern around the mechanism with one torch shows the position of the first mechanism to activate in the larger 3×3 grid.
** The pattern around the mechanism with two torches shows the first position as well as the position of the second mechanism to activate.
** The pattern around the mechanism with three torches shows the first two positions as well as the position of the third mechanism to activate.

===Expansive Eya===
;(Talk to Bennett after entering the ruins)
: Bennett: It feels pretty ordinary here... I was expecting some kind of sense of impending doom.
: Bennett: Could it be that because you're here with me, I'm feeling more at ease? Hehe...
: Bennett: I've caught the scent of treasure in the air! Come on, let's go!
----
;(Talk to Bennett after following him into the next room)
: Bennett: This room's setup seems to be somewhat tricky.
: Bennett: The things that stand out are the two mechanisms in front of us, one on the left, and one on the right.
: Bennett: But... it seems like there's some sort of danger lurking around the mechanisms...
: Bennett: If my years of adventure experience are anything to go by, it would be a disaster if we activated the wrong mechanism, haha.
: Bennett: How about letting me try it out first?
:
:: Bennett: Hehe, leave it to me.
:: Bennett: Ah, but as you know, I really don't have any luck.
:: Bennett: So I'll leave it to you to decide which of these two mechanisms we should trigger.
:: The one on the left.
::: Bennett: That's the one I was thinking of too! Let's see...
:: The one on the right.
::: Bennett: Actually I was thinking of the one on the left, so maybe that means that the one on the right must be the correct one. Let me see...
::???: *clicking sounds*
:: Bennett: What was that noise...?
:: Bennett: Oh no! It looks like all the exits are blocked! Guess I still managed to get the wrong one.
:: Bennett: This... this is really bad...
::
::Ending: No Wonder It's a Top-Class Commission
::
:
:: Bennett: Hmm... I could try it out myself...
:: Bennett: But... What do you think we should do? Let's do it your way!
:: Take one each, activate them simultaneously.
:: Bennett: Well, that's a possibility... yeah.
:: Bennett: Let's try it then! I'll take the right side, you take the left!
----
:: Bennett: Go stand by the mechanism, and when we're both ready, let's trigger them!
::
:;(After activating the mechanism)
:: Bennett: Cooool! The door is open. We got it right!
:: Bennett: Good thing we went with your idea. You definitely live up to your reputation.
:: Bennett: And... I haven't had this feeling of working together with friends in ages. I've really missed it, hehe.
:: Bennett: Anyway, let's move on!
----
:;(Talk to Bennett after following him into the next room)
:: Bennett: Oh... so this room has...
:: Bennett: ...Four mechanisms. Which means...
:: We need four people...
:: Two of us won't be enough...
:: Bennett: That's what I'm thinking, based on the last room...
:: Bennett: I think we're gonna need four people to trigger all the mechanisms at the same time.
:: Bennett: Ahhh... If only the rest of Benny's Adventure Team were here...
:: What's the deal with Benny's Adventure Team, anyway?
:: Bennett: ...I hate to admit it, but the truth is... it's gone. It remains in name alone.
:: Bennett: The only reason Katheryne hasn't deregistered "Benny's Adventure Team" is because she took pity on me.
:: Bennett: In fact... *sigh* the number of adventurers on the team has been below the registration requirements for a long time already.
:: You mean... you're the only one left?
:: All the other members are gone?
:: Bennett: Haha... yeah. Royce, Heckler, and Jack were all members of Benny's Adventure Team.
:: Bennett: A lot of things went down, but mostly it ended because of my bad luck.
:: Bennett: I completely understand why they quit the team. I'd never want to put them in danger on my account. *sigh*
:: Don't take it personally.
::: Bennett: Yeah, I felt really let down at first, but I'm pretty much used to it now. It's okay!
:: They're all traitors. (−1 Heart)
::: Bennett: Heh, don't say that! Adventurers should be free to do what they please, so leaving an adventure team is a completely normal thing to do.
:: Bennett: Even though I'm the only one left on Benny's Adventure Team... One day, I'm gonna make sure its name is known all over Teyvat!
:: You can do it, Bennett!
:: Bennett: Hehe, thank you.
:: Bennett: Let's focus on the problem at hand...
:: Bennett: Ah, sorry, the thought of the adventure team got me all sentimental.
:: Bennett: Now that I think about it more carefully... Maybe we're making too many assumptions about the solution to these mechanisms.
:: You mean, the solution may be different from the previous room?
:: You're right, we shouldn't jump to conclusions.
:: Bennett: Exactly. Okay, I'll take a quick look at these mechanisms while you look around for any other clues.
----
:;(Investigating the first clue)
:: Paimon: There doesn't seem to be anything here...
:;(Investigating the second clue)
:: Paimon: It's so dusty. Paimon bets no one has been here in a long, long time.
:;(Investigating the third clue)
:: Paimon: Hey that looks like a notebook!
:: Paimon: Let's grab it and check it out with Bennett, shall we?
::;(Obtain )
::
:;(Talking to Bennett)
:: Bennett: An adventurer's notebook? What's it doing here...?
:: Bennett: Maybe it's got some clues on how to crack these mechanisms! Shall we take a look?
::;(Opens the Lost Adventure Notebook):
::: "Eric can't hold on any longer... We had no choice but to give up. I'll leave this notebook here. Maybe this treasure is destined for someone else.
::: As you may have noticed, the . Otherwise, the other mechanisms cannot be operated.
::: But there's a catch...
::: The person operating the mechanism by the door takes on an enormous risk.
::: If the other mechanisms are operated in the wrong sequence, that person will face...
::: One other word of advice:
::: ... We made that mistake, and paid a painful price. Perhaps... ?
::: What is the answer?
::: Oh, how I wish to know...
::: But Eric physically can't take any more..."
:: Bennett: Whoa... It really does have some information about them.
:: It's some very valuable guidance.
:: Why do I feel... it's a bit ominous?
:: Bennett: It seems that the writer is holding something back.
:: Bennett: Well, since they've placed their hopes on future adventurers, we can't let them down.
:: Bennett: The notes say that the mechanism at the entrance needs to be controlled by someone continuously...
:: Bennett: But if the mechanisms are activated in the wrong sequence, the person in charge of the mechanism at the entrance will...
:: Get hurt?
::: Bennett: Yeah, I guess that's what the notes are referring to when they say... "Eric can't hold on anymore"...
:: ...Die?
::: Bennett: Uh... You think so!? Surely it can't be that bad!
::: Bennett: It says in the notes that Eric "can't hold on anymore." That at least proves that it is possible to "hold on" up to a point.
:: Bennett: Anyway, I'll take that role.
:: Who says it's up to you?
:: We should at least do rock, paper, scissors...
:: Bennett: Haha, it's okay, it's okay. Getting injured is just part of my daily routine.
:: Bennett: I'm pretty used to it by now. At the very least, I should be able to last longer than this Eric guy, haha.
:: Bennett: And more importantly, I trust you!
:: Bennett: You can definitely crack this mechanism puzzle, right? I mean come on! You're the great adventurer that I've always admired.
:: Bennett...
:: Bennett: Alright, alright, let's just focus on solving these mechanisms!
:: Bennett: Remember what the notes say... Hmm...
:: Bennett: "The number of torches is not the hint for the activation sequence..."
:: Bennett: "Perhaps... the sequence is related to the position of the torches on the ground."
:: Bennett: Well, don't put too much pressure on yourself just because you're afraid I'll get hurt!
:: Bennett: Just go with your gut and do it.
----
:;(The first time you fail)
:: Bennett: Ow! Argh... it's okay, it's okay. If this is as bad as it gets, I can handle it.
:;(The second time you fail)
:: Bennett: Ah! *cough* *cough* I'm fine... don't let me influence your... thinking...
:;(If you fail thrice)
:: Bennett: Ugh... is it over yet... I think I...
:: Bennett: I'm... sorry...
:: Bennett: I don't think my body... can... take this anymore...
:: Bennett: I'm sorry... I failed you... (−5 Hearts)

:;(After completing the puzzle)
:: Bennett: You... you solved it?
:: Yeah, piece of cake.
::: Bennett: Haha! That's the great adventurer I'm talking about! Awesome!
:: All thanks to you, Bennett. (+1 Heart)
::: Bennett: Oh! Uh... heh, I didn't really do anything. You're the one who nailed this.
:: Bennett: Let's go and open the chest, shall we? I can't wait!
::
:;(Open the Luxurious Chest)
:: Bennett: Wow, that was quite a haul!
:: Bennett: This must be the proudest moment for any adventurer!
:: Bennett: Not only getting the chest, but having this golden opportunity to join you on an adventure. For me, that's a pretty major treasure already, hehe...
:: The feeling is mutual.
::: Bennett: Really! Then I'm honored, haha.
:: The chest is the most important thing here.
::: Bennett: Hmm... I guess you're right, finding chests is where the real romance of being an adventurer lies!
:: Bennett: But there's one other thing that I find the most amazing of all...
:: Bennett: The fact that nothing really bad happened to us this whole adventure. This is the first time in my whole adventure career that it's ever turned out this way!
:: This is just one of the many possible outcomes.
:: But it shows that fortunate outcomes do exist.
:: Bennett: That sounds very deep... but I think I get what you're saying.
:: Bennett: You are saying that no matter how unlucky I might be, there will always be times when luck is on my side, right?
:: Bennett: Yeah... This is a really big thing for me.
:: Bennett: And you know, I have a feeling that...
:: Bennett: ...It was your kindness and goodwill towards me that helped me avoid a lot of bad luck... even find a little good luck...
:: Bennett: Hehe, it's a bit embarrassing to say that out loud, but all in all, thank you... for everything!
:: Bennett: I hope I get to go on another adventure with you soon!
