Genshin Impact: How to Solve Empty Display Stands for Limits & Demonstrations

The Empty Display Stands puzzle sits on the third floor of The House of Hesperides, inside a long corridor full of museum-style stands. Some already hold constructs like the Sign of Swelling and the Sign of Solitude. The rest are blank, and your job is to place the correct Prime Ice Construct next to each Exhibit Plaque sign. Get all five right and you unlock the Limits & Demonstrations achievement along with an Exquisite chest.

Quick answer: Place these constructs next to their signs — A Sign of Friendship = Grappling Gun, A Sign of Motion = Launching Platform, A Sign of Spring = Basic Heat Source, A Sign of Swelling = Cube, A Sign of Solitude = Link Mechanism.

Where the Empty Display Stands puzzle is located

The corridor opens up after you finish the main House of Hesperides puzzle, which unlocks a secret chamber on the third floor. Once inside, you walk through a door into a wide hall lined with display stands. Reading the Exhibit Plaque next to each empty stand tells you which type of construct belongs there.

There is no set order here. You can start with any sign you like, and if you drop the wrong construct, nothing happens. Just dismantle it and try a different one until each plaque is matched.

Correct construct for every Exhibit Plaque sign

Each plaque hints at the construct that fits, but here are the exact pairings so you can finish without guessing.

Exhibit Plaque sign	Construct to place
A Sign of Friendship	Grappling Gun
A Sign of Motion	Launching Platform
A Sign of Spring	Basic Heat Source
A Sign of Swelling	Cube
A Sign of Solitude	Link Mechanism

How to place the constructs

Walk up to an empty stand and read its Exhibit Plaque. The sign name tells you which construct to summon.

Create the matching construct from the table above and set it down beside that plaque. If it is wrong, dismantle it and place a different one.

Repeat until all five empty stands hold their correct construct. The two stands that already have the Sign of Swelling and Sign of Solitude filled at the start do not need changing.

How you know it worked

Once every plaque is matched, an Exquisite chest appears and the Limits & Demonstrations achievement pops on screen. That confirmation is your sign the puzzle is complete.

A hidden wall nearby also opens up. Inside is a second Exquisite chest and an old paper, a lengthy confession written in several entries. It reads as though Pavlina wrote it, admitting she does not love Larisa and mocking the idea that Larisa deserves to be abandoned by the man she loves.

Clearing the blocked door afterward

Move forward past the display area and you will find a construct wedged in front of the next door. Dismantle it to open the way through, then keep exploring the chamber.

That is the whole sequence. Match the five signs, grab both chests, read the confession if you want the story context, and clear the final construct to continue deeper into The House of Hesperides.
