World
Pressure Plates[1] are objects found whileexploring the world ofTeyvat. They have various functions once activated, such as spawningchests, opening gates or creatingWind Currents. All of the locations can be found in theTeyvat Interactive Map.
There are three types of Pressure Plates:
- Small Pressure Plates which require a single weight, which can be activated by placing a light construct or a character on it. Enemies and wildlife standing on them can also activate them.
- Large Pressure Plates which require a double weight, which can be activated by placing a single heavy construct or two light constructs on it.
- Special Pressure Plates found inThe Chasm which require a single weight. Once activated, several markers will be revealed. Touching all the markers will reveal a chest.
Most of the time, large plates require creating a construct to apply the pressure while the player performs another task, while small ones are more often used for immediate actions such as starting a trial or summoning a Wind Current.
Heavy Constructs[]
The following constructs and creatures are able to fully activate large pressure plates on their own.
Light Constructs[]
The following constructs and creatures are able to activate small pressure plates. They can activate large pressure plates if two are placed on top of it simultaneously.
Note that some of these skills summon multiple of a construct at once, such asKlee'sJumpy Dumpty mines orAloy'sFrozen Wilds Chillwater Bomblets, or may come with multiple charges, such asAmber'sExplosive Puppet at her4th Constellation orGanyu'sTrail of the Qilin at her2nd Constellation, which can then be combined to produce enough weight to activate large plates.
Other[]
- Dendro Core and variants such asBountiful Core andSeed of Deceit.
Weightless Constructs[]
The following constructs and creatures look like they could activate pressure plates, but do not.

Trivia[]
- Although Pressure Plates can be found anywhere and do not exclusively exist in Liyue, they bear Liyue's signature pattern of a weighed scale.
- The following means were previously able to activate pressure plates:
- Parametric Transformer - light construct[verification needed] (UntilVersion 1.6)
- Yanfei'sCharged Attacks - light construct (UntilVersion 2.4)
- The weight applied would linger long enough after the animation ends to be able to be used in quick succession and fully activate a large pressure plate for a very short time.
- Fischl'sStellar Predator effect - light construct (UntilVersion 3.0)
- It used to makeOz's Freikugel projectiles target the pressure plate and activate it as long as he was still on the field.
- After collecting the reward from a Pressure Plate puzzle, the Pressure Plate is removed from the world upon re-logging. [verification needed]
